Strangest Valentine's Day Gifts?

Posted by Cliff on from the raising-rod-serling's-eyebrow dept.

BladeMelbourne asks: "On Valentine's Day my partner gave me (among other things), two comet goldfish, to put in my tank with my existing comet. Where she got the idea to give fish for Valentines day is still a mystery. I'm curious to know if any Slashdot readers gave/received any unusual gifts - and whether the gift was appreciated or not?"

    --I really frelling *hate* it when they pull crap like that. What do they think we are, mindreaders??

    --Another little tip for the females: (yeah right, all 3 of you who read Slashdot!)

    Ladies, BE BLUNT. Men do not take well to subtlety, and we DO RESENT IT when you apparently expected us to read your mind. Tell us in plain language what you're looking for, and kindly DON'T give us a steaming pile of shit if we end up getting you something that wasn't exactly what you wanted.

    --Try to appreciate the gift anyhow - at least we TRIED!
