Worst christmas present?

I used to get a pair of socks every year from my grandparents.

Until they died. Sometimes you just know they buy these things purely to tick some boxes.

You don't know me very well do you? :p

For a start, black shirts should only be worn by bar staff and clergymen. Matching a cream tie to a black shirt is the height of blasphemy. It tells the world that you have absolutely no taste, that you are probably uneducated, that you put no effort into dressing and don't give a crap about how you look.

Even if they had been decent colours they were of shocking quality. The cotton used in the shirt reminded me of a brillo pad and the tie had a cheap and tacky shine to it that offended me greatly.

I would never drape myself with such disgusting onanism rags.

And no, I don't earn shack loads of money, my income is nothing special. Plus, income has nothing to do with good taste and dress sense. Whilst I may spend a bit on a shirt I'm not like your average Joe who would happily spend £150 or £200 on a pair of jeans. My limit for jeans is about 60 or 70 quid. My shirts are guaranteed for 20 years too so they're exceedingly good value and if anything, I'm being a penny pincher by buying them :p
 
A worm farm - just add worms, soil and your own jar. OK it was a Secret Santa present.... but even so.
 
My brother bought me an album I already have, and a DVD I already have. Funnily enough the DVD was the 3rd of a trilogy, the trilogy he bought me for my birthday!
 
Optimus Prime was my worst.

Reason being, I badly wanted the big one that did all sorts of cool stuff. I unwrapped the paper and saw Optimus Prime and was so excited if I was a dirty sod would have peed myself.

Anyway, I got my purple and red friend out of his box and found that he was not only a lot smaller than the real optimus prime (the real toy, not the Actual Prime) but didn't even have real wheels. It turned out to be a really cheap plastic radio in the shape of an Optimus Prime, think my parents were trying to save money and that I'd never notice. I did drag it around the carpet for about 3 minutes but it was crap.

Never really recovered from that as you can probably imagine.
 
I remember another weird one, a pair of tights from my nan. She wrapped up all the presents and then put the name tags on. It turned out she labelled then wrong. The real present was just as rubbish.
 
Oh, another one on a different xmas was a cd player. Think my dad bought it from some dodgy geezer as it didn't come with a power supply. Anyway, he gave it to me and I was in awe (this was when cds were just coming in) and couldn't wait to play a cd on it. Shame it didnt have any power supply and needed a very specific one with a particular connector that was a very weird shape (so no bodging an existing psu either) :(

It did have a nice dampening action on the lid though so I played with that for a bit..
 
Got given a "guinea pig calendar". I hate calendars and guinea pigs while cute, are too fluffy for me now . i think i binned it still in the wrapping

Last year my mother-in-law got me a mini "jetwash" with toilet cleaning attachment from some dodgy catalogue - all because my wife mentioned that the garden furniture needed doing. The wife didn't tell her that I just hadn't been bothered using the Karcher jetwash that had been sitting in the garage for the previous 9 months! :rolleyes:

LMAO

This thread is great.
 
And the worst present I've given anybody was an empty box for my wife.

When I finally saw something she wanted, I was in such as rush to get the present I just grabbed the box from the display, paid and wrapped it without checking if there was anything in it. I still get the **** taken out of me for that one!

LMAO, my aunt did something similar. Itunes card, forgot to write the number on it and binned the receipt (which had the number), doh!
