whats the worst gift you have ever recieved?

[Stumpy]

LOL!!! Some of these really are sad, but I've had a lot of laughs, too.

CHICKEN SALAD,
I believe that is the tackiest, rudest thing I've heard in a long time. Can you say missing the point?

The worst one I can think of was when I was a naïve young woman. I had a very attractive older boyfriend and was dumbfounded when he gave me a pair of overalls for my birthday. Not kidding! It's not like I grew up on a farm or anything. I really think he knew I'd be disappointed and did it to hurt me. I thank God to this day that I discovered he was a closet alcoholic and a bit of a con man to boot before it was too late.

The last christmas before my mum's Aunt Sheila died, she gifted my mum with a project from her pottery class, it was a dragon figurine, in poo brown, and bog green, and it was hilariously ugly, my mum said she tried to smash it and destroy it several times, but it WOULD NOT DIE, Aunt Sheila loved it, and even called my mum to ask her how much she loved it, etc. My mum always said, "if that thing had a globe on the bottom of it, it'd make a really awesome bong"

LOLLLLLL

also, my uncle works for JPL in Pasedena, as well he's a professor at a university around there, he's very well off, lives in Wrightwood which is a resort town about 40 minutes from Pasedena, one year my Aunt and him gave me a bunch of stickers from JPL (the kind you get for free on a tour) for my 16th birthday, and a bargain birthday card that said Happy 6th birthday, and they'd added the 1 to the beginning. it had winnie the poo on it.

The gifts that keep on giving (and no, I'm not speaking of female kittens).

I'm not saying that these were actually bad gifts, we have, and continue to use them. But..., when we were married way back in 1976, we received 11 Presto Burgers. We considered re-gifting, donating to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, etc., but somehow we never got around to it. For 32 years we have never been lacking in the Presto Burger Dept.

We have two left that are new, and still in the box, that we are saving for our 50th wedding anniversary. We plan to have as many friends and family present, that attended our original wedding, and a drawing for them.

And for you others that remember the 70's, We actually received two Popeil's Pocket Fishermen, and two Vegematics. I still have a Vegematic, even though the blades are now somewhat dull and bent.

The eternal Presto Burger

I've done that before. The wife has a sense of humor and it's not the ONLY gift she gets. She call's them "Homer presents", for the episode of The Simpsons where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday, with "Homer" engraved on it...

When we first got married we were too poor to give each other gifts, then came the kids and dh just never purchased gifts for me --no b'day, anniversary, Christmas, Valentine's NOTHING..Well when the kids got older, they 'shamed' him into buy me a gift..Well, I was SOOOO excited (to say the least).. He let my son (then 3) hand the gift to me. Here were all these little, sweet, happy, excited faces, waiting for me to open MY present-- I opened it up and it was a BASKETBALL! A official, leather basketball. I can't chew gum and walk at the same time==but guess who was a great basketball player--yep--DH!

Funny-bad present:For you to understand how bad this next gift is I must first explain that I HATE pickles--any kinds, shape or form!!

When I worked a public job, one of my customers (very large company) sent me HUGE gift boxes of 12 different jars of pickles! I processed to hand them out to the other girls in my company, sat down and wrote a very nice thank you note-stating how nice it was of them to think of me.. Well for the next 15yrs, I got the same box of pickles from the same company! It became a joke with the others in the office!

I can't beat the Presto Burgers but we did get no less than 7 copies of "Good Night Moon" for our various baby showers! Each with a sentiment written inside about how much the giver's child loved the book so they knew our son would love it too! We kept them all because it was too sweet and funny!

my hateful MIL got DD a shirt and pants for her b-day that said "babies first christmas" in 9months, when asked why she got it since that christmas was DD 2nd and DD worn a 18months (she knew that) she said "who cares she a baby she can't read and 9 month was the biggest they had"
(ggeee i wonder why?

could it be cause if a child is 12month it not their first christmas ) i tryed to return it and found of she paid $5 for it, she gave nephew a spiderman toy at the party that was $25!! and it wasn't his birthday! needless to say she doesn't get invited anymore, i'm not going to let someone like that mistreat my beautiful loving baby just for kicks
