Based on that logic, you have to assume the thought was “I hate my wife and her lips are dry.” 

The Redditor obviously came to a similar conclusion, which is why he’s now her ex-husband.

Other Redditors have vented about the gifts they received that were clearly last-minute decisions, including a bag of batteries, used makeup remover and an expired coupon. ‘Tis the season!
