Today, my Dad came home with a $500 jacket that he'd bought himself for Christmas. I'd bought him the same one, and it's non refundable. FML

Today, I showed my father a nice sweatshirt online, hoping he would take the hint and get it for me. He did, three sizes larger than mine, for himself. FML

Today, I finally got a Christmas gift, a calligraphy set, for my father that I have been looking for for a month. My dad came home happily with the same calligraphy set today, saying that he surprised himself for Christmas. He got it cheaper than me. FML

Today, I went down to my grandparents' house to spend some time with them. I was in the guest room when I noticed a box in the corner of the closet labelled "Crap". I opened up the box to see my Dad's John Elway Autographed Football in it. I got it for him for Christmas, it cost me $600. FML

Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML

Today, my dad found the Father's Day present that I spent at least ten hours preparing and decorating. I'd expected him to be extremely happy about this lovely gift. His only reaction was to ask if he could exchange it for something else. FML

Screw it, wrap it and put it under the tree anyway. Teach him a lesson in patience.

You have excellent present-choosing skills, OP! Hopefully you can sell it or exchange it :)

That breaks a rule for my family, basically December is too close to Christmas to buy anything for yourself.

I think this is a guy thing. They want something but can't wait for it so they buy it themselves. When you have 5 brothers, Happens to me all the time...

Yup. Can confirm. My family learned years ago to just give me cash, since I already "have everything" or I buy right away.

This is why I put a two month freeze ban on my husband buying himself anything every holiday season, otherwise our family, friends, and I would never have anything to get him!

Who the hell spends 500 bucks on a piece of clothing?

It's not that much really. Ski jackets easily go for around a thousand.

A good quality leather jacket can also easily pass that $500 mark, a nice suit usually starts around $500 ish. If it's something you really like and you'll get some good use out of I don't see why not.

It may be non-refundable for cash money, but odds are the place you bought it from can give you store credit. All is not lost!

Today, it was dad’s funeral and I intended to speak but I was crying so much I couldn’t finish and mom had to help me back to my seat.
