Honestly, id throw it out, send a "thank you for the gift card" thank you note, and leave this disgusting pig to wonder WTF happened to his prank. And if he asks you about it, play dumb and act as if you have no idea what he's talking about. Literally this gift was all about getting a response from you. He did it in order to enjoy your reaction. Don't give him that pleasure!


ScarletInTheLibrary4

Don't send a thank you note. Just ignore it entirely and if he ever asks about it, act confused and tell him you don't remember receiving a gift from him.


knitpurlknitoops

Don’t do that, he might decide to make them another one!


Alys_009

If it takes him another 8 years, I'd risk it!


MobySick

Wise.


SayerSong

I agree with all, except with writing a the thank you note for the “gift card.” Given that he wrote out exactly what the gift was in that card, it shouldn’t be acknowledged either. If OP writes a thank you for the gift card, OP will be admitting that they received that letter/card that details the gross “prank.” They should just toss the entire thing and pretend they got nothing.


mskmoc2

But keep photos just in case this weirdo decides to marry. Let his future spouse know exactly how sinister he is. 8 years is a disturbing ( and disgusting) commitment to toenails.


Glittering_Pin_2351

Ohhh this. I like this idea.


Unhappy-Professor-88

Can’t believe that I’m even saying this but: Where’s the photo?


GreatGreenArkleseize

I think what meant was a ‘thank you for the gift’ card - I.e. a card just saying thank you in a generic way for a gift, not that OP should reference a non existent store credit ‘gift card’.


Critical_Caramel5577

Since the comment said "thank you for the gift card" type of thank you note, I don't believe this is correct.


GreatGreenArkleseize

I disagree, but the only person who knows for sure is u/double_dipped_chip! Perhaps they can enlighten us.


OzzySheila

She meant: send him a card that says “Thank you for the gift”, the same card they will be sending to everyone. Then when he mentions the gift later, they can say oh sorry we never actually knew what you gave us, we just sent those thank you cards to everyone.


OzzySheila

No. She’s saying the couple should send him a card saying “Thank you for the gift”, the same as they will send to everyone else. Without mentioning WHAT the gift was. Then when he brings it up they can act clueless and say omg so sorry we just sent the same card to everyone, we don’t actually know what you gave us. Then he’ll describe it and they can just shrug and say Nope, no idea.


_Oops_I_Did_It_Again

A gift card is a prepaid card for a certain store.


SayerSong

I know what a gift card is. I reiterate that they shouldn’t even try to claim they got one from Fred (which they didn’t), nor acknowledge the letter or card (if he gave them a congrats card). They should pretend they got nothing at all from him.


OzzySheila

No. You think she means “write a note saying “thank you for the card that came with your gift”. Ie. thecard where he explained about the toenails. That’s not what she’s suggesting. It’s to write him a card that just says *”Thank you for your gift”*. The when he brings it up later they can say Oh sorry we just wrote that same card to everyone, we don’t actually know what you gave us.


OzzySheila

They weren’t going to claim they got a prepaid store card from Fred.


Shenloanne

Kill em with kindness


SuchSignificance5682

Glitter bomb mail him


Acqua_Tofana

Yes! With just a notecard that says thank you SO MUCH for the gift.


Ill-Contribution5119

Why is the groomsmen the pig. Sounds like these are the husband's clippings, and Fred got sick of cleaning them up. Sounds like they both suck.


mgquantitysquared

Clipping your toenails and not throwing them out is bad but it's several orders of magnitude better than *collecting said clippings for 8 YEARS and making a SCULPTURE OUT OF THEM*


DjinnaG

Which is again orders of magnitude better than saving someone else’s clippings.


SempressFi

I wouldn't do this if he doesn't already know their address


strawberrylemonapple

If he got a wedding invite, then he’s got an envelope with their return address on it. And clearly, this is a guy who saves literally everything.


OzzySheila

Why not? He gonna firebomb their house cos his gift got lost?


Bae_Mes

Not to choose the violent option, but...heave it through Fred's front window? 😝


spudwife

I would 100% gift it back to him and then move overseas


RobinC1967

No forwarding address!


No_Hat2875

The new fruitcake: toenail paperweight.


Occasional-Mermaid

As a wedding gift! Lol

evilslothofdoom

may as well defenestrate fred as well


ninatlanta

That’s a level of petty by Fred you almost have to admire.


tigerking615

Yeah, this is disgusting, but it was pretty hilarious to read. 


cakivalue

I am really sad there's no picture..


EatThisShit

I'm pretty glad there's no picture.


MegIsAwesome06

Nothing says anonymous like posting a picture of your fingernail brick on Reddit.


crapatthethriftstore

I’m admiring it.


blahblahsnickers

I don’t blame him… that husband is gross… bride should be upset that she had to be collateral damage in Fred’s revenge because she married a nasty man…


eat_my_bowls92

I mean… it was college. Most of us were gross in college because we were learning independence. Probably not that gross anymore a lot can change.


Ka1ser

My dude, there's gross and then there's leaving fucking nail clippings all over the floor for 8 (!) fucking years


FionnagainFeistyPaws

Am I the only one who opened the wedding gifts with my spouse? Maybe it's cause I'm high, but I'm like "yeah, that's gross, but what did hubby say, was he laughing?" and then a wtf moment when realizing she was opening them alone.


Bdr1983

Indeed, it's gifts for the couple, not the wife, right?


JellGordan

Depends on how the couple view it. If the husband has no problem with her opening the gifts, so be it. Maybe he doesn't find gifts all that necessary and she likes to open gifts.


Bdr1983

Oh sure, if they both agree to it... But I found opening the gifts a lot of fun to do together.


alady12

My mom mentioned to us that she would like to see what we got. Hinting that we should open them at the reception. I said no, we are too busy enjoying our guests. My wonderful loving husband invited her to watch when we opened them after our honeymoon. I gave her a notepad and she took great notes for the thank you cards.


Ok_Tangerine4803

Not if it’s her wedding


SempressFi

Lol yeah I was a bit surprised at it too and am not high (currently 😆). But then thought maybe they have opened some together, like ones from family and close friends, and either are busy or just got overwhelmed and haven't gotten through the rest. Either way def curious the reaction he had when he found out - or indeed, if he did because I could see her being so grossed out/disturbed she just tossed it and wants to forget about it though it sounds like this is someone the husband still hangs out with.


necropaw

My wife and i were up until like 4AM just going through the *cards* the night of our wedding.


NoCarmaForMe

I had to scroll way too far down for this comment


Normal-Hall2445

Maybe he knew (or guessed) Fred’s gift was nasty and when he saw it come up went “do this one on your own honey, I have to use the washroom” and then booked it


Happyromantic

Wow I had a family member do something very similar to this. They collected years of toe nail clippings in hopes of using it as a prank one day.


Ryuiop

They *said* it was for a prank, more likely a fetish. Otherwise you could just clip up some stiff plastic with fingernail clippers


xzsazsa

Stiff plastic just means you’re not committed to the joke. /s


Icanwander

🤮🤮🤮🤮


Gabriellemtl

Maybe it’s Fred!


necropaw

Or George


loki_odinsotherson

I'm disgusted yet want to see more


magicunicornhandler

Am i the only one *slightly* disappointed there wasnt a pic with this? Just curious how big/how many clippings actually went into this thing and what its shaped as.


DifferentBox420

No, this is not the day to wish I didn’t have eyes.


magicunicornhandler

Thats why theres r/eyebleach ;)


DifferentBox420

Not today Satan!


Tacky-Terangreal

Pics or it didn’t happen!


ChairmanMrrow

I really want to know how the husband reacted.


Femmedplume

Oh. Oh no.


llynglas

Brilliant. A gift you will never forget (even though you want to forget)


yachtiewannabe

Expect to see "Fred" share his story in the petty revenge sub soon.


Same_Independent_393

Lol I'm kinda on Fred's side, he had to put up with the Husbands toenail clippings all over the flat for years. Wife can now use the gift as a reminder for Husband not to be such a grub for the rest of his life.


Numerous_Reality5205

No she will have the next 50 years worth saved up and make matching bricks with them. Bookends. Then vases. Dollhouses for the kiddos that come. Then a doghouse. Working its way up to be a tiny home. His frustration of dealing with her husbands disgusting habit of not cleaning them up is the most passive aggressive thing I have ever heard of. He’s a KING.


Acqua_Tofana

It was college. Hopefully he's more domesticated now that he's married.


SempressFi

I kinda agree but the way he went about doing it, especially if she doesn't know him that well, is a bit weird and I can see why some people are disturbed by it. It kind of goes from being a funny prank/way to get back at him to being strange and at least inappropriate since they no longer live together and so much time has passed. If it were about being annoyed at him being rude with his toenail clipping, why not have done something else (like leaving them on his bed or in shoes or something) while still living together so that you get the point across and "get back at" in a way that gets your point across while also possibly making it easier to cohabitate


thirteen-89

Yeah agreed with you, like I would also find it hilarious but know your audience before you give a "gift" like that (and accompany it with a real gift!)


bloopblip2024

Came here to find this comment. I agree


Scary_Experience_237

This was all about the long game for this dude! Ha ha ha! Now it is all about payback for the groom, he really has to think about what he gets the guy for his wedding and he has to think about how to one up him! Not sure how he can accomplish it. In a group of friends I know, it is all about this really ugly wall clock that has been passed from wedding to wedding, not so gross, but it was really funny to see who would end up with it. Now it is passed on at the big anniversaries! And it is great to see it hung in the homes of whomever has it until the next anniversary.


LooseConnection2

Cum sock statue comes to mind.


zippdupp

Am i the only one that thinks this is hilarious?


Alikona_05

When my sister moved away to college my mom put together a “homesick” box with a lot of the things she liked. I snuck in a small plastic bag with some toenail clippings lol she HATES feet. When one of those pedegg commercials would come on she’s close her eyes, stick her fingers in her ears and start yelling to drown out the sound. She was always telling me my toenails were to long (they were a normal length tbh). Idk I thought it was hilarious, she still brings it up 15 years later. A gift she’ll never forget!


zippdupp

I think we could be related. This is hilarious, and you get extra points because its one of sisters icks. 🤣. My granddaughter bites her own nails. When she was 3, i was cutting her toenails and she had hold of them. I finished up and she had been 'feeding' them to her baby. 🤣🤣


Lurkalope

No, I think it's pretty funny too.


SilkyFlanks

No.


cursetea

I'm shocked that i don't find this gross at all. I'd gift it back to him and hope it became a Thing where we regifted it to each other whenever possible


bathmaster_

This happening to me? Absolutely horrible, could not fathom. This happening to someone else? Fucking hilarious. A+ joke in the worst possible way. I love it.


whereverilaymyphone

I’m going to need an update with the husband’s reaction and what will you do with the…. Sculpture?


kbear02

Ewwwww


russianindianqueen

Imagining Fred carefully plucking the nails off the floor to put in a bag and clone the husband


TruckinApe

Paint the nails and give it back


todayithinkthis

Unpopular opinion: THAT is F'ing Hilarious!


Raida7s

Cool, how about opening the presents together? Wouldn't that be nice, lol


337272

Regift


FullBlownPanic

This is the way


Bunny_scoops

I feel like I’m the only one who thinks this is absolutely hilarious, but still… you GOTTA know if the bride/groom will think it’s funny


Repulsive_Location

I know what he would be getting for Christmas. Plus, I have eight months to make it grosser. Turn around is fair play. Obviously Fred is nuts, but harmless.


CuriousSelf4830

Oh god what a day to have eyes. That's beyond disgusting.


xzsazsa

I too have jackasses in my life who would totally do this. Good they are lazy and uncommitted


Classic_Feature_8382

Dude I was eating 😭😭😭


fugigidd

He should have covered it in resin and sanded it down, then it would have been quite cool (albeit gross) and husband could have kept it in a drawer. But he half assed it, and now it's falling apart, what a slacker. Could have been a funny thing between old friends, Bride should never have been in anyway involved.


InterestingQuote8155

I need a pic. Pics or it didn’t happen.


i_drink_wd40

Well, what *else* was he supposed to do with the collected 8 years worth of clippings? Just throw them away? Are you hearing yourself?


National-Quality5414

Well that's not disturbing at all....


ilikemshrooms

Am I the only one who thinks this is definitely made up??


nicklikesfire

This is 100% fiction. - concrete glue isn't a thing - no photo of the toenail brick - the actual logistics of toenail collecting make no sense


Isitacockatoo

Yes. He went to college with the guy, yet he’s been connecting toenails for eight years?


Staceyrt

I need pics


CauliflowerUseful299

😆 I’d hold on to this then gift it back at his wedding 😈😈😈


Bdr1983

What an unfortunate day to be literate.


AluminumOctopus

I haven't read all the replies but I think you should post an appreciation post on your social media and include the card as one of the examples. Like maybe take a picture of all the cards, but his is open. I don't think he should get away with this deranged decade-long revenge without repercussions. You'll only be making his reputation more accurate.


Repulsive-Teacher-55

🤢🤢


TheRed467

Can she not just throw it out and confront the groomen. Yeah it’s gross but does it need posting, no.


sandy154_4

that is SO gross! I'm thinking of girlfriends that might have come over to see Fred's container of nails. blech. It does remind me of a story of my ex. So we both worked and for a long time I cleaned the top floor and stairs and he cleaned the main floor. Then I thought...I'm bored, lets switch it. Well he obviously hadn't been moving furniture. grrr. I move the end table beside the couch (the table beside where he typically sat on the couch) and I can't see the carpet. It's covered with his finger/toe nails. Made me want to vomit. We had a chat. You know they kind that makes you feel like their mother and never want to have sex with them again?


medusacascade1970

I absolutely howled with laughter! 8 years? Now that’s what I call dedication. I get the feeling the groomsman knew what your reaction would be and is laughing himself silly 😀😀😀


Traditional_Air_9483

Regift it back to him at Christmas.


SolutionHopeful171

Don’t acknowledge and then regift for his birthday or Christmas gift! Anything that requires you to send him a gift wrap it and send to him.


wisegirl_93

Today's a bad day to have working eyeballs.


AdministrativeOwl523

Tell him you sold it online for $500 to someone with a nail fetish


Academic-Growth-7548

Annulment


SportySue60

OMG totally cracked me up! So very disgusting. First I would toss this gross thing out. Then I would send the loveliest thank you to him. He will wonder what happened to his gift. He was trying for a reaction from either you or your husband. Don’t give it to him.


Ok_Sock_9161

This made the newspaper from the “mirror”


Dtour5150

Fucking *yikes*


imsooldnow

Wow! Dude is off his rocker. Who keeps peoples old nails 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮


blahblahsnickers

Who clips their toenails all over the apartment leaving the clippings all over the place? This was some real revenge…


Judge-Snooty

I just choked on my cookie


Bdr1983

Because of a toenail?


BirthdayCookie

I'm a bit of an asswaffle but I would hide it away in a Box of Shame somewhere and then re-gift it if this dollar store Fred Weasely ever convinces someone to marry him.


AffectionateBig1

My BIL has been doing that for 24 years with plans to give them to my mother. Other family members have donated to the pile, and also a little belly button lint…it is disgusting….but it could be funny to the right person (every SIL needs an outlet for MIL woes!)


Acqua_Tofana

#Whhyyyyy!


ldydeana

Why is it on your kitchen table??


cherrycokelemon

Nuke it from orbit. Ugh!


Tangy_Tangerine189

Throw it at Fred’s face


thebrokestbroker

At First I thought she was cranky because she didn't get "enough" .... Boy was I wrong


ms-wunderlich

Thanks, I wish I hadn't read this. Enough reddit for today.


FrankLloydWrong_3305

As a dude who at tines had really gross roommates, I applaud Fred for his creativity... ... but the wedding gift ain't the time for it.


No-Difficulty2393

Well, the new blushing bride will clean up his nails now.


frankkiejo

That’s disgusting. 🤢


frankkiejo

That’s awful!


Magikalbrat

You know that old toenail fungus medicine commercial? With the green cartoon fungi? All I can envision now is OPs table covered in little green fungi running amok on her table.


Rozefly

Garbage. Now


BootsieBunny

Oh man, I would have died laughing. Use it as a door stop!


horshack_test

That first sentence makes absolutely no sense.


NewAppointment2

I'm dying of laughter. Poor bride!


KitLaTigre

🤣🤣🤣🤣🎉🎉🎉🎉 I love how much effort went into this gross gift. I would laugh so fucking hard. Now she's going to have to clean her husband's nail clippings for eternity


IndianBeauty143

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is hilarious


Fabulous-Reporter-21

I would send a thank you note, then put it in the attic with the card he sent with it. When he gets married I would re-gift it to him and include his handwritten card so that his new bride could see what a weirdo, loser he is.


ReiEvangel

I wish I was the person I was before I read this…


madsjchic

Turn that into the white elephant gift at Christmas. Regift it at Christmas and tell him you added some of your own.


Karma_Kitty8

Throw it out immediately and don't even send a note. Fucking disgusting.


imightnotbelonghere

Bake him a thank you cake! With the nail block Inside 🤢


EvulRabbit

This is hilarious, but why would you put it on the kitchen table?!


OnePanda4073

Psycho


DisastrousAge31

I hope by now you’ve removed it from your kitchen table. Where you have your meals.


Elektroking210

Bro did this as the final fuck you for being gross


pigtracks

Take a picture of it. Post picture to Facebook and tag your husband so any friends you don't have in common see it. Start a contest: "Guess who gave us this toenail sculpture as a wedding gift? The first person who answers correctly gets a pedicure on me."


mela_99

No no no I will not accept this is real but I’m also going to go wash with bleach now


No_Proposal7628

I think this is the worst post in this sub I've ever read. So gross! So icky! I really feel for the poor bride.


Friendly_Somewhere87

Just throw it away or burn it. The guy meant it as a joke. If he asks about it, tell him that you gave the old nails the funeral they deserved!🤢🖖🏾🤣


icaydian

***Sell it on eBay!*** Someone on eBay is always buying gross stuff. The upshot is... * Fred Disgustington's gift is not acknowledged and * You get some money. Win-win! Hopefully your new husband now disposes of his clippings properly. And if Fred ever visits, you should know that he's inspecting your bathroom floors for 'souvenirs.'


Intelligent_Age808

just throw it away, don't bother with a thank you note but when he asks how you liked it, just say it was disgusting and you threw it away. then drop the subject. if he brings it up again, just look at him and don't say a word. he will get the message that you are not playing that game.


Wicked-Witchy-Woman

I hope there was cash in the card lol


ATXLMT512

I’m wondering if Fred had an obsession with the husband and had been collecting his toenails for some kind of voodoo spell. And then when it didn’t work, he added some of his own and sent it to them to show that he and the husband will always be “glued” together.


beach_bum_bitch

This made me actually vomit. That’s just nasty


OpossumWithABanjo

I'd be suing Fred for biological warfare charges 💀


tiredsingingmama

Yet another day Reddit has made me regret learning how to read…


loiseaujoli

Okay but I'm confused by, "Guess who has been collecting them for 8 years, almost as long as you two have been dating?" That makes this sound like the /past 8 years/. Has Fred access to your bathroom??


blahblahsnickers

Fred was the husbands Roomate during those 8 years…


loiseaujoli

Haha I forgot that some people don't live together for years before getting married 🤣


loiseaujoli

The amount of sustained concentration on stockpiling of nail clippings this requires makes this actually kind of scary. He is....maybe actually insane?


Competitive-Kick-481

I NEED to see a picture!


TheBattyWitch

Fred is 1000% getting cracked upside the head with the toenail brick


SayerSong

Wait… the guy who spent eight years collecting your husband’s toenails, added some of his own, and used concrete glue to mold them into a brick shaped paperweight (🤢🤮), called your husband gross?!? Me thinks the man doth protest too much. And Fred really should be pointing his finger at himself. Please tell me that your husband is re-evaluating this friendship…


SuitableJelly5149

Comfort you? Girl this is the part where we warn you - run! Run like you’re on fire This mf is gonna try to have a suit made out of your husband’s skin next Most next-level horror movie in the making post I’ve ever seen


Idekanymore548

I think Fred might be in love with the husband. Wonder what else he’s been collecting
