23. My holy roller biker sister in law got my husband a gift certificate to the firing range for Christmas.

She gave it to him when I wasn't around, of course. When I found it in a bag of gifts from my in-laws I questioned my husband about it. He said it was for him from his sister. I was F*ING LIVID!!! I told him I was going to get her a dildo next Christmas. She wants to gift something that is completely against our values, I'll gift something that is against hers. He said he'd give the gift certificate back to her. Good idea, I told him.
