Father's Day is coming up, and it got us wondering... 🤔

🎁What's the least favorite Father's Day gift you've ever received?

Maybe it was another tie 👔, another coffee mug ☕, socks 🧦, or something that left you wondering, "What am I supposed to do with this?" 😬

Bonus points if it was truck or vehicle related. Was it a universal accessory that fit absolutely nothing, a gimmick that never worked, or a gift that was meant for a completely different vehicle?

Let's hear your best worst Father's Day gift stories.

This is the worst Father's day gift I have ever given...

As a kid in the 60s & 70s I would give my dad a carton of cigarettes as a gift. Mom bought them for me. In 1976 my dad died from lung cancer at age 52. What an awful gift I gave.

Mine is coming up. I realize it is petty, as I don't really care about Father's Day, as I know my four kids appreciate me and show it all the year. I don't need another day.

However, my wife and her mother are taking me and my mother-in-law's husband out to celebrate father's day for both of us.

We had this discussion in prior years. Here is the thing. I am a father, my wife and I raised four kids. My mother-in-law's husband is not and never has been a father. He never had kids, was a bachelor his entire life. Then when my mother-in-laws husband died (at this point all her kids are in their 30s), she married this man. There is nothing wrong with him -- but he was never a father or a step-father. He never raised kids, he made the decision to never emotionally or financially take responsibility for any child. He is fine to visit, but he is not a father.

But somehow, they have decided that he equally deserves to be celebrated on Father's Day, alongside me. I know it's petty, but this has been going on for some years now and while I have made my feelings known to my wife, they continue this charade.

Women will never understand.

Men don’t need therapy, we’ve got access to truck forums!
