Ya I hate it when people tell me what they want for their birthday or whatever.
Because if I had already been planning on getting it I'm like "GOD DAMNIT now they'll think I only got it because they told me to and not because I know exactly what they wanted and was listening to them in the conversation we had about it 3 months ago!"
I also hate gift cards, because you might as well just give cash which can at least be used to pay the bills if need be instead of forcing them to buy something they don't really need.
