oh, i remember a better one. MY moms boyfriend got me a 3 cd set of 70s greatest party hits. i was about 11 at the time. For some reason his idea was as so many of todays songs are based on old ones, then a crappy old songs would be just the same and cheaper

Last christmas my grandmother got me a pink bath towel, with my name in one of the corners. How was my name on there? In black permanent marker.

My sister got the same thing, only her name was spelled wrong.

Friggin' nefs.

Crappiest gift I ever received? Some T-shirt from Holland from my grandparents. Black with a photo of the gayest windwill ever built on the front - purple and pink. My older brother got a similar shirt. Both were sized for a 4-year-old. I was 13, he was 15.

As soon as our grandparents left, our parents gladly donated them to the youngest sibling. Excuse? "She liked them so much we decided to feel the Christmas spirit and give them to her."

My sister once got, for Hannukah.... a FOLDABLE BOX.

It was plastic and could be unfolded into a box ~ 2" by 4" x 8" or folded up into a strip of useless plastic.

I think that might be the worst present ever.



AHAHAHHA!!!! :D

The worst gift I ever got was from that secret Santa sh!t. The person gave me a cheap mini phone book and some cheap pens. WORST GIFT EVER!!!

BTW, the phone book covers came off after a short while.

I loved the story about the MK3 machine. I was wondering "Now wtf does this have to do with-"

And then I saw the punchline.

Its hilarious when relatives try to buy computer games for me or one of my brothers....I saw problems in this a long time ago and told them to never get me a computer game for christmas. For my brothers on the other hand they get these wonderful gifts every year, why even on his birthday just a month ago my brother got dark forces II as a present. Even that wouldnt had been so bad had he not already owned and passed the game long ago.

On the other hand Ive also gotten presents that I at first thought sucked....like when my grandma gave me a wallet...I just looked at it trying to look happy. Sure I already had a wallet, and sure I liked it much more than the one I was now holding in my hands - but what was I gonna do with this? Then I opened the wallet :):):):):):):) you can never fail with cash

edit: cuz sum peepL juhst kant spel

Randbrick: My grandma was getting pretty senile in her old age... She used to send me money exclusively, which was alright, but in her later years she started becoming creative, and by creative I mean "batshit insane," delighting in sending me really wacky gifts. I remember one Christmas she flew over, and watched eagerly as I unwrapped her present... It was a g-string. A sparkly g-string. I look at it, I freeze, my mind does a couple cartwheels, and then I turn to look at her. She's shining this great big f*cking smile at me, like she just farted while stoned, and after a moment, she says, "It's a european bathing suit!!" like that explained everything.

We all just smiled and nodded.
