A man has shared a snap of the "insane" Christmas present he received from his mother-in-law, claiming it could be "cursed" due to her "cackles" as he opened it. Taking to Reddit, the man, 48, showcased the "Bond villain"-style ring he received from his relative for Christmas – a gold piece featuring a large, black embedded stone. "It’s insane Christmas present time!" he quipped in the CasualUK subreddit.
"I'm a 48 year old man that is neither a goth or a Bond villain – yet my mother in law gave me this ring for Christmas. From her cackling as I opened the present, I assume the ring is cursed.". The man added: "To be clear – I may not be a goth myself, but I 100% get where goths are coming from. Regards being a Bond villain, that just seems too much hard work.".
"What is your relationship with her like?" pondered one Reddit user in response. "It is easily big enough to fit explosives and a radio controlled detonation device in." A second jokingly agreed: "That is obscenely large. I would be worried there is a tracking device in there or a hidden camera!".
A third person suggested: "That’s blatantly a re-gift that she didn’t want. I am a heterosexual man in his thirties, and my MIL gave me an oversized wine glass with 'Wine a little, laugh a lot' written on it. In that over-stylised font that all mummy business use.".
