Q: Why do boyfriends pick out stupid gifts for girlfriends?
A: It's kind of like sending a grade 9er to operate on someone's brain. First of all, grade 9 boys know nothing about their own brains in the first place. How are they going to surgically operate on someone else's with precision? They don't even know what precision means. Imagine you yourself letting a grade 9er operate on your own brain - would you trust them? NO! Who knows what turnip truck you'd fall off of, right?
Well, the same can be said for boys picking out gifts for girls, they don't have the slightest clue what they're doing, wandering aimlessly in shopping malls, looking to get in and as fast as they can - nothing precise about that. And boys always pick gifts out that they would like to use themselves. What girl likes power drills? Or worthless gadgets like the Orb Mood-Detection Device. JEEPERS! It's NOT the thought that counts.
This is what guys look like when they're picking out presents...
OR...
Anyway, if you want to save yourself years of agony and disappointment, go to a store ahead of time, pick out your OWN present and send your boyfriend there later to pick it up for you. Otherwise, you'll have useless junk that will collect dust forever. Even archaeologists will throw it in the junk pile years from now when they dig it up again.
Guys do not know how to shop!!!
