Was it the gift itself that was the problem? The cost? The date/time on the receipt? Store relevant? Actual gift relevant? Cashier's name relevant? | ||

Did the receipt indicate that you were mistaken in your purchase? Perhaps that you had mistaken it for something else ("I wanted one for a girl, but the receipt says it's for a boy, and now that I look more closely, I see it's right!")? | ||

Did you want to buy a piece of clothing :-))? Ha Ha . Let me tell you that the vast majority of Irish men never and I mean never buy clothing as a gift. It's part of our psyche. I've known my first wife (sorry Nimue) for nigh on 20 years and I've never bought her an item of clothing. So to sum up NO and btw the gift was not for my current wife (sorry Nimue again) | ||

Agreed on the clothing issue, unless it's a humorous t-shirt I can order online. Then, if it doesn't fit the person, I can blame the company. Was there actually something wrong with the gift? If not, did you momentarily think there was? Or was it just the name/abbreviated name of the item that horrified you? Relevant that it is a gift and not just a regular purchase? Would the recipient of the gift see the receipt? | ||

When asking about the clothing, I was thinking of an old joke about a guy buying gloves for his fiancée... anyway, excuse me for the digression, but I am overwhelmed with curiosity - WHY are Irish men so reluctant to buy clothes? Some sort of superstition? Was the gift for a man? A woman? Relevant? Is your relationship to the person relevant? If you bought the same gift to a different person, would you feel the same about it? Did you buy exactly what you wanted to? | ||

Well, now I want to hear the glove joke... Would this particular person be unable to use this particular gift? Is it an issue of right vs. left-handedness? Some other physical barrier?

"100 Movies to See Before you Die"? Or something along this line? 100 Movies to See Before you Die"? Or something along this line? So good she posted it twice.... ***************Spoiler**************** Well done Alhucema. Here's the story in full. My mate Ron who's only 52 had been feeling particularly unwell for a little while and got himself checked out at a clinic. Imagine his shock when he was told that he needed urgent heart bypass surgery . Apparently some of the arteries were so blocked that Doctor's were surprised he hadn't dropped dead. Anyway Ron had the operation which thankfully was a total success. As he faced the long recovery period I thought that a gift would cheer him up so I went to my local bookshop and selected a few titles which I thought my suit his tastes. Now Ron loves movies and movie history so I discovered one of those books where movie experts list their favourite movies and each one has a page of the book devoted to it. Perfect thought I and bought the book. It was only when cleaning out my wallet and some days after I'd posted Ron his books that I noticed on the receipt that the title of the book was "1001 movies you must see before you die". I had not noticed this fact when purchasing it. Can you imagine my reaction when i realised that I'd sent a book with that title to a guy who just had a near death experience and was starting out on the long road to recovery. Thankfully Ron thought my faux pas was hilarious and has promised to see all the movies on the list even if it kills him Thanks to all who played | ||

Of course - Peter! Sorry for that! I recently did the same thing to someone else - I thanked Jenburdoo for Noel's puzzle. May it be a consolation for you that sometimes I mess up the names of my own kids. ;-)) | ||

Great puzzle, and great story! It would have been great to have had a video camera to record both your reaction on realizing your oops, and his on seeing the title. | ||

Thanks for the kind comments. My experience is that real life throws up puzzles much superior to anything I could make up myself. | ||

Excellent puzzle! Too bad I had to wander off in the middle. My friend has that book; it's very informative. |
