I actually have another one… my now father in law, back when I first meet my wife, got me an empty dvd case of some random D movie nobody has ever heard of from the dollar bin at Walmart.

Somehow the dvd was plastic wrap sealed and still had the $1 sticker on it, but I later opened the case up and it was empty.

I initially took offense, because it really seemed like an insult, but it turns out that 14 Christmas holidays later and he still gets weird random useless stuff for everyone for Christmas, it wasn’t just me.
