I haven't really gotten anything useless or lame, but my friends parents got a jar opener from someone, I think it's pretty useless.
Lamest/most useless gift you've ever recieved
- Thread starter Gentleman_Reptile
- Start date
I've enjoyed/used every gift given, even if I wasn't super jazzed about it, I thanked the person who gave it to me and used it out of respect.
That was just how I was raised.

An encyclopedia, because my mom said that I asked too many questions. After I got it I asked her what an encyclopedia was just to piss her off.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader plug and play. No, seriously.

Well I bought these headphones to replace my crappy 5$ sony ones and I made sure I got good ones. They set me back 50$ then 4 months later I lost an ear bud but had a set of other sizes.
My mother then gets me some new headphones for my 15 birthday even though I still use the ones I had and in fact did have them on everyday.
But then I took it back and got the diablo battle chest with the cash from it so it was all good.

I need to put a little back story on this one to make it so much more degrading.
It was Christmas and most of my family was having a reunion.
The interesting news was that my cousin had just spent the last 3 months traveling Europe.
And all across that old grand continent, he had picked up these really cool souvenirs
which he gave as gifts to the family. Beautiful jewelry, specially made dolls, hand painted pictures, bottles of wine were given out.
When it got around to me I received a copy of
Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom the video game.
Awesome.

I love my mum very much.
I just thought I would let that be known before I get started.
For my birthday my Mum got me a book that she was told was 'popular among teens' and as you have probably guessed my mother is a little out of the loop when it comes to these things because low and behold I was staring at a Twilight book.
I was too polite to explain that this was a girl book but fortunatley my sister explained that to my Mum for me so it wasn't too awkward when I locked the book away in a dark place never to be seen again.

on topic: i once got a used pair of shoes for my birthday. dont get me wrong the shoes were great but did they really have to try them out first.
there must be an amendation to this post as crudus beat me to the punch.
I forget exactly how far back this was (way back), but for a birthday gift a former friend let me borrow his copy of the first Harry Potter game for the PC. And then he called the next morning saying that he "needed" it back.
A HANDMADE box? What the fu-FlashHeal said:
Why?!
Does the fact that it's handmade mean you should appreciate what great thought and care has been put into it?
If you don't know what to get someone - especially my age - get them money. The worst thing I ever get is book vouchers, and I get them all the fucking time. I also get like 5 books, negating the need for said vouchers. And since my birthday is in the middle of the year, I always have books from Christmas to my birthday, and my birthday to Christmas.
I mean seriously, why would you get any sort of voucher for someone if you don't know where they shop?
