I had a birthday at school once and a guy I knew said "oh I'll get you something for your birthday" (knowing he wasn't actually going to get anything) so I said "You wouldn't even get me a bag of leaves...and thats free"
Sure enough next day...I got a shopping bag FULL of wet leaves. I was kinda lost for words.

Then again, I go through socks pretty quick, and winter is no fun without clean warm socks.Random argument man post=18.72503.763150 said:

Sorry mate, have to disagree here. I once told a friend online about how cold I was (it was winter) and how my feet were cold. Few weeks later, a package arrived, containing two pairs of socks. I was bemused at first, but then I wore a pair. Holy sweet jesus. These things were some fancy winter socks from the states or something. I still wear them to this day, even when it's not that cold. These particular socks are awesome and win. Definitely one of the best presents I ever got (and the more so because it was an unexpected and thoughtful surprise).Random argument man post=18.72503.763150 said:
Wow. What the hell, If they were really poor then it's a different story but for an average person that's just cheap. Hope you don't talk to the person who gave it to you anymore.Evilbunny post=18.72503.763158 said:
As I would be in that situation too.TheColdHeart post=18.72503.763199 said:
I also think you're winning in the weirdness stakes so far.
When my mom got back from a trip to New Orleans, she brought me back a "mojo rock". A smooth squarish rock, with the word "mojo" in white letters. Even though it wasn't my real souvenir, which was a voodoo doll, it was still weird.
Funny thing is, I still have the rock, but don't have the voodoo doll anymore.

My Ex-girlfriend got be a paper weight for my 18th, it was a beetle encased in plastic.
I was stunned said thanks and moved on. After she went home I preceded to think of a place to put it where she can see it but no one else can. It spent 3 months next to my lamp before I got drunk and smashed the thing open. The beetle was plastic.
The thing is this was after chrismas where I took her out to a fancy restruant, a nice 4 star hotel and a champagne breakfast. Oh don't think shes poor, she lives in a fucking 5 beedroom house and earns more than me.
Wost gift I've ever given was deciding to make a fryied breakfast for a friend on the morning of her birthday...I forgot she was a vegan.

Haha similarly I've had some friends surprise me with a birthday meal type thing before and the one that cooked the whole elaborate spread totally forgot I was a veggie. I just saw the funny side of it though and demanded some noodles.cheatking post=18.72503.768949 said:
A signed Soccer jersey.
Think about the fact that I'm posting on a gaming forum when I say this. Also recall that I'm a Network Admin, so I probably don't play much soccer. And recall that I'm in the southern half of Australia where we play AFL (*insert politically incorrect reference here*) or Rugby. Yeah... that was an intelligent gift. I still have no idea who "Ronaldo" is, nor much of an inclination to find out.
If that's not my weirdest present then the genius who bought me a car racing game for my birthday no less than three months after I witnessed my friends shredded by glass in the front seat of the car we were in definitely takes the cake.

The best gift I've ever gotten ... a Swiss Army Knife. I always used to rant about how I need so and so on a Swiss Army Knife. Apparently, one of my friends, who's always attentive, overheard me. The attachments:
A tiny pen, a tiny magnifying glass, a tiny electric shocker, and a knife. There's also all the rest of that generic stuff, you know, nail clippers and such. There's also a USB attachment, which is just icing.
The worst gift I've ever gotten was Viva Pinata for the PC. It was sort of a joke gift, but just having it in my house made me feel like less of a hardcore gamer.
I once gave my friend a lottery ticket, a sign-up form for the Navy and a bottle of Budweiser. "Go crazy."

I once got an electronic carousel from an aunt whom I've never met. She doesn't speak english and lives in Austria, but apparently she felt compelled to send me a tiny carousel that played a lullaby.
