Can't you just be logical?

Ok guys, this one is for you.

Let me tell you a little story and you see if it sounds like something you have experienced.

It’s your wife’s birthday (sub in ‘girlfriend’, ‘partner’ if needed ) and you, thinking you are ahead of the game, smugly ask a week or so in advance, what she’d like as a present. Score one for you right? You’re on the ball, you are thinking of her, you are asking what she likes. What could go wrong?
