Wow. Just...wow.LightOfDarkness said:I've been pretty happy with all my presents I've gotten so far (they actually are really nice, like an iPod and a new gaming ready PC) but the one time I would utter a sentence like that is if someone tried to pull something like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKwCQWjTyI0&feature=related] on me.
The one present I liked less than all the rest though, would have to be my first PC. I got to pick which one, but it was refurbished, and it was waaaaayyy back in '05 or something and I had a budget of $650. My dad's current laptop is more powerful than it (Radeon HD Mobility and a quad core D
It was okay after I became less of a tech noob and upgraded it with a brand spankin new GPU, but I still kick myself for being such an idiot that day and not just building one.
Everyone has to start somewhere I guess...
You know what I usually get as presents? Fucking socks, once a deodorant, shit like that.
The most value I'd set on any of the presents I've gotten in the last few years is the 500 EEK ($42) I get from a family member every Christmas, everything else can be valued at about 100 EEK (~$8) at best.
I get it that you said "liked less", not "hated", but god damn. It makes me mildly pissed, and very sad at my current life. Bloody Christmas.
But hey, at least I get to eat shit...
tl;dr: I hate every one of my Christmas presents.
I appreciate all my gifts but i have done this:
*open present its a shirt i would never wear out*
"oooh! look another Pajama Shirt!"

I once got a set of sports balls that were all deflated. Course the fact that I didn't have a yard or anything to use them in really made them pointless.
For the first 15 years I was alive, my aunt always gave me these really terrible science books. Rather than money or say, a novel or videogame, she believed that she had to educate me with whatever gifts she gave. They were all terribly, TERRIBLY banal. T_T
I once got 4 copies of the same book, (that I alredy owned!)...
2 of those copies were from the same person...
I was more flabbergasted than disappointed...

Well I would never be ungrateful enough to talk bad about getting a free gift, but there was one time my grandparents got me a book about space which wasn't bad (I didn't read, but it wasn't a bad gift) but then the next year I got the same exact book from the same exact grandparents. I just said, "um... thanks but I think I actually have this book already" so I gave it to my friend (he didn't read it either)
a Kinect for my birthday.sorry for people who like Kinect but personally I didn't really want one.
I got Simpsons boxers with a big picture of Homer on my junk for Christmas a few years ago. I don't even like the Simpsons.tellmeimaninja said:
On related subject I bought Gears of War boxers with a lancer hovering right above the unmentionables.

Socks eh? No way anyone can beat that......... Oh wait, I can.......
RAINBOW MONKEY BANDAIDS!!
I am not even kidding. Fucking Rainbow Monkey Bandaids. I don't even use them. I got them 2 years ago and I still got a few lying around. Of course last year I got a fresh supply of Winnie the Pooh bandaids. So socks don't really sound all that bad to me.

OT: Um nothing springs to mind. I'm an only child so my parents spoil me, usually with 5 or 6 games and films/box sets etc. Along with these I always get boring presents like socks and shower gel but, because I also get games and CDs, I can't complain
A shed calendar, and a book on scarecrows.
Though, last year I had to have my dog put down on Christmas Day after she slipped a disc in her spine, and a friend of mine maintains that I bought my dog a lethal injection as a Xmas present, so I suppose that makes my shed calendar look pretty good in comparison.

I love when parents pull that kind of stuff on you... They get some sweater for themselves, then use the box it came in to package YOUR gift, so when you take the wrapping paper off, you're thinking "FUCK, ANOTHER SWEATER?" but then you open it and it's HL2:EP3linkzeldi said:
