This is the worst present, EVER!

[TheSteeleStrap]

Up until a couple of years ago, my aunt would always get me shorts for my birthday (in December), and shirts one size too small.

My uncle (who is a successful business representative)bought me two t-shirts for Christmas one year, one with the Trix Rabbit on it and a Kid Rock shirt... I was 18 at the time and I was ready to smack him for such a stupid, thoughtless gift.

I generally don't think clothing should be considered as a present, unless it is something other than socks and underwear. That being said, my Mom once gave me frilly things, and if she looked at what I actually wore from my closet, frilly would have been on the bottom of any list of my clothing preferences, and one year I got a neon yellow shirt (yes, this was in the 80's when Neon was "in", that made me look like I was about to puke/death warmed over.

But one thing I can't abide is dollar store/cheapy crap stuff. I got more dollar "skin cream" than I can bear to think of, and it did nothing for me and felt slightly burning on my (admittedly) sensitive skin. Other crap gifts: random perfume (I won't wear it unless I like the scent, and buying it randomly will make it almost certain I won't like the smell), any kind of self-grooming products (which makes you wonder what the other person is trying to say about your grooming habits), and from one particularly clueless relative, a package which was underarm deodorant. Because telling someone you think they smell is the best present of all... (and no, I didn't and don't. She was just clueless as to what an appropriate gift was).

i got a pink sweater once im a guy i dont like pink fluffy things and i dont like bright colors

A banjo, I am not kidding. My mother gave me a banjo because I had started listening to country music. (And she also asked me to make a wish list so that I would get what I wanted to)

Learn 'em right. Learn to play "Duelling Banjos" from 'Deliverance'. That'll teach 'em!

My brother is autistic, and so he doesn't really know my personality very well, and so he gets me stuff for 10 year olds. I remember last year he got me some rubbish bow that fires plunger things. And I was 15...

But then again, all I got him is beer and chocolates, but that's his fault for NOT having a personality!

One Christmas I was at my dads house, and while my Stepmom and Stepsisters were opening up gifts of jewelry and concert tickets, I got a $25 dollar gift certificate to Chick-Fil-A. I wouldn't be so pissed about it, but 95% of the year I live with my Mom in Buffalo... where there are no Chick-Fil-A's to use the stupid gift card.

Ugh, the Phantom Hourglass, I tried for days to beat that game, couldn't do it, just. too. boring.

That wuz mean

I always welcome socks as a present. I go through socks very quickly and it's something I really can't be bothered to buy myself. People always look shocked/relieved when I ask for socks.

One time a friend gifted me a golfball. Nothing else, just one golfball he probably had found somewhere in the bushes. He had wrapped it in Christmas paper with a silver ribbon on it.

Worst present ever, but it was a good prank.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor yesterday asshole doctor said "I got you a tumor for Christmas"

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor yesterday asshole doctor said "I got you a tumor for Christmas"

Please tell me you're joking. Because A) That doctor probably has the worst bedside manner outside of the realms of fiction, and B) What a shitty thing to find out on christmas. If I was your doctor, I'd have been tempted to say 'we'll send you the results in 6-8 weeks' and let you have a nice christmas.

OT: I don't think I've ever been given a present that I could call 'the worst'. I did receive a HUGE book on bugs about 10 years ago and was pretty ungrateful in front of the giver (I was about 8... so sue me), but the book ended up being pretty damn interesting.

Never got another present from that family member though,

 

[ScroogeMcDuck]

Appreciate the sentiment, and I only wish I was Joking.

Nothing.

This year I get nothing.

I get nothing from my parents (they are broke), I get nothing from my GF (who is also broke), I don't get to give anyone anything (since I'm broke as well) and my friends won't be giving me anything (you guessed it, broke).

I get to sit at home and write a paper for college in vague hopes of graduating, getting a job and not having Christmas be a shitty time of the year for me.

Also, I don't get to celebrate New Year with my friends, since they are all going out of town together, but I'm so broke I can't afford to come along.

Also, I'd like to add that the exact same thing happened last year (no gifts, no new year party).

At least you got something...

While not christmas gifts I got a book on the joys of maths year before last for my birthday.

And then volume II for my last birthday as well.

>_<

I still faked gratitude but now thinking back if I hadn't been so good at it maybe I would've gotten a good gift for my last birthday.
