Bad gifts

Well, sometimes we get decent things too...
And just can't appreciate them at the time.
Like 20 years ago I suggested do a polyanna (spelling?) as our family had gotten a bit larger, both of my brothers and I had gotten married, plus our folks. I thought it would be a good way for everyone to get something nice without anyone breaking the bank. Agreed on $50... My younger brother and his wife end up getting me and my older brother. What do they do? Go out and get us both 4cell Mag-Lites. $50 total... I wasn't real happy but wasn't going to push it, but my older brother went ballistic.
After the fact, I still have that Mag-Lite, though I haven't spoken to my younger brother in years (That I won't get into, lets' just say "Screw me once...").
