My wife was a victim of Xbox’s confusing naming scheme
So months ago, my wife shows my kids the upcoming killer klowns from outer space trailer. Kids get excited, I get annoyed.
Kids want it, wife says It’s for the Xbox s/x, I hear that and tell her It won’t play on our OG Xbox One.
She says, well what do we need, I look it up and tell her that the game is only compatible with the Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S….she gives me the surprised Pikachu face and asks again.
I tell her that Xbox is shit at naming its next generation of consoles, and the 2 new ones were called the series S and series X. Shortly thereafter she finds one for sale locally, and buys it, and buys the game on Amazon new.
Come Today, Christmas day, kids open the gifts, get the fancy white Xbox, and the game, I have to create an account, download updates…yada yada.
Insert the disk into the system, and it only says install disk….no option to just play, I click it and the message says it needs the Xbox Series X.
I tell me wife She bought the wrong one, she is adamant that she bought the xbox one X….. well I did not know that xbox released 3 versions of their 3rd gen console, the xbox one, then the xbox one s and the xbox one x……
On top of that they named their next generation console nearly identically…. the xbox series X and there xbox Series S.
She bought the previous generation with a very similar name, and kids were pissed since they waited from summer until now, and wife was upset she made the mistake.
All I can say is that microsoft needs to find the butthole who came up with these names and kick them in the nuts
Maybe twice.

aio for being upset that my boyfriend didn’t get me anything for christmas?
for context, we’ve been together for almost a year and we decided to do our family holidays separately so we wouldn’t have to go to 3 christmases in one day and it works for us. we had plans tonight for me to pick him up and get drinks with a mutual friend. at dinner, i texted asking if he’d gotten me anything. i already bought his gifts a while ago and gave one to him on christmas eve and was going to give him his nice one tonight before drinks. as you can tell, i’m pretty disappointed and he just made me feel like i’m crazy for being upset. i just feel like this is icky and manipulative i guess. i feel like this is break up worthy. what do y’all think? submitted by /u/mcunhappymeals to r/AmIOverreacting |

“service dogs”
I was just in the gate area. A woman had a large standard poodle waiting to board my flight. The dog was whining, barking and jumping. I love dogs so I’m not bothered. But I’m very much a rule follower, to a fault. I’m in awe of the people who have the balls to pull this move. submitted by /u/PriorityStunning8140 to r/delta |

Wrapped this for my daughter this year (Outside to inside layers)
There was a lock on either side. The keys for the locks were mixed in with a 1lb bag of random keys I bought off eBay. It took her 48 minutes to open it, much longer for me to create this monstrosity. I’m not a professional anything, just a devious mom who loves an innocent prank or two. Please don’t judge the craftsmanship or lack thereof. submitted by /u/Ill-Salad3791 to r/mildlyinfuriating |

Devastated about my husband’s wealthy(ish) family’s reaction to my first big gift for him.
I come from poverty. It is what it is, I had a VERY rich childhood in all the ways except financially. Christmas was saved for year round, and we got one thing to wear, one book, and one fun thing. My husband comes from a family that grossed $300k a year and Christmas was always a massive show off. Each kid had $2000+ under the tree, easy.
My husband and I started dating five years ago and have been married for 2.5. We’ve clawed our way up in life (he was not given financial help as an adult) and this year is the first time we can spend some decent money on Christmas.
He has been wanting a guitar for some time. He has never played and has expressed interest so many times, but we couldn’t do it financially. I did lots of research and from what I saw, beginners guitars were $150ish and went from there, up to your $5k+ for really nice ones. I AGONIZED over what I was going to choose, and ended up telling him to cut the budget for me so that I could surprise him with a really nice gift (so I thought). My original budget was $500 but I really wanted to go big or go home. It ended up being around $900 CAD, plus $200 for accessories or so. Being able to spend that amount is just… unfathomable for a former poor kid. But I did it because he deserves it, we finally have the means, and I was BEYOND excited to see his face light up!
Christmas morning comes and the tree gifts wait until his family arrives. I am basically giddy at this point with excitement. Our turn comes for couple gifts and I bring the guitar case out from its hiding place. He’s SO excited and opens the case, revealing the guitar. And then…
“Oh, thanks babe. Never heard of this brand.” Not the overwhelming joy I was hoping for, but it’s not about me, right?
His brother says, “Awe, it’s nice. A decent cheapy one to start out with.”
His dad chimes in, having played in his 20’s, and says it’s known for its lower end models, and they’d be happy to chip in for a “nice” one next year if he sticks with it.
I have never felt such a punch to the gut. I assume I’m overthinking as per usual, but I am still so devastated from this ten seconds of today and I can’t even really verbalize why. It felt like I was 9 years old again, trying to be excited about my new Aeropostale hoodie with my friend that got a MacBook and a Disney trip for Christmas. I think those comments affected how my husband viewed it too, because he hasn’t touched it since, despite wanting it so badly for years.
I guess I’m just venting. I feel so small and I just had to get it out ☹️

TIL: There was a former warlord and cannibal, now preacher known as General Butt Naked. He led the Naked Base Commandos, comprised of child soldiers, to commit child sacrifices and cannibalism in war. He admitted to killing at least 20k, but was not prosecuted. He now assists former child soldiers.
