A customer of ours was telling us on Saturday that her husband has bought her diamond earrings for Christmas. She has told him to take them back as she wants a designer handbag instead. We just stood there mouths agape not knowing quite what to say. Bah humbug.

Can't knock a Rubiks cube tbh.
I know this is slightly off topic but here goes...
I work at Argos and was on collection the other day, at my store if you are on collection you have to get things from the jewellery room if an order comes through and show the customer the item before giving it to them. So an order came through for some of that crappy Playboy jewellery so I collected it but the customer was in a mad rush and said "Its ok you dont need to show me it" but I insisted that I had to. So after she had a good moan I opened the box to find there was nothing in but some padding to keep the necklace safe. The woman just laughed and said she wouldnt even had opened the box, just wrapped it and her daughter would have been getting one excellent xmas present.
Back on topic of the worst present I have recieved, I think it would have to be this E.T toy that was a bit like a Furby (yes those irratating things). I removed the batteries after 1 day as it would just randomly decide to start talking in the middle of the night.

my mum gives me crap underwear packs and socks every year, and they're from sports world, so obviously you all know how crap they are.
Thing is, shes the one who does my washing when im at home, and sees that i never wear the crap stuff she gets me, but she gets it still every year. And she tells me to buy some new underwear cos mines washed out, the sheer amount of brand new underwear iv got is immense, its juts a shame its all crap - i think she just doesnt want me to have sex or something.

sorry, a what now?
Google is your friend...although this one was more like a nightcap...
Some crazy board game I got last Christmas called Toru. I think its a board game any way.
Looked at it thought to myself 'What the bloody hell!?!' I opened it up and thought to myself 'What the bloody hell!?!' again. Closed it, chucked it into the back of my cupboard, its either still there or one of the folks has thrown it away.
Parnets didnt even bother asking me if I wanted to play it or anything.
What a waste of money.

When I was 14 I wanted a guitar, you know to learn to play. Big box wrapped up, excited. Opened it and it was one of them plastic "guitars" with buttons that play some awful MIDI music. My parents insisted that it was a real guitar.
