Worst christmas present?

lol, thinkin about something further up, remember when i got Age of empires 2, must have been 12 that xmas, installed it and OH GUESS WHAT, 2mb graphisc card required, and mine was a 1mb. I was gutted, so i started saving straight away, took me about 3months till i had about £110 and i went to a computer fair with my dad, bought a TNT2 for £85 or something :D Was chuffed, glad i got it over a voodoo heh, shame when I got home and got it all up and running i discovered my soundcard was incapable of playing it.
All i got was crackles and distortion, the damn father wouldnt go to another fair so soon though so i had to wait another 3-4 months to buy my SB1024 :d

OO wait, i wanted a skateboard one year too, they got me the worst ever £20 WWF one from sportsworld :|

2 Weeks later i got myself a sexay £100 setup and chucked theirs out. haha.

LMAO. WWF skateboard hahahahahahaha. That's hilarious for two reasons: 1. Those cheapo skateboards are just so bad. 2. WTF has WWF got to do with skateboarding?

I remember when I first started skating one of my mates got a HuD setup, £20 or something. It was so bad. One day he ollied, landed and one of the wheels split in half LMAO.

My worst gifts so far both came last crimbo. My dad got me a framed picture of his dog (who I have no time for).. And it was a pretty bad pic too.. And an empty car cover bag. The car cover was on my beetle on the drive (where it's lived for a while).
 
i got a pair of pajamas from a 'family friend' a couple of years ago
pink, fluffy and size 16 / 18
i am a size 6 / 8 - do people really think i'm that much bigger than i am? :(

a month later, my mum wrapped them back up and gave them to my cousin for her birthday

i've also received a crucifix (i am an atheist) and various jelly sweets / nestle products (i am a vegetarian) - i hate thoughtless gifts :(

When i was about 7 i recieved a huge box off my old man. I was very very excited untill when i opened it it was about 30 tupperware containers :mad:

He thought it would be good for splitting up my lego but i liked it in one big toy box :( Never used them for that purpose and still have a few hanging aroudn the house now.
 
Heh i always get the most random presents from my relatives in australia .... one year i got this random rubber duck... it now sits on my monitor just because it is so totally random

Last year they actually got me the courtney love autobiography.. why im not sure
 
My little sister bought me the same pair of earrings two years running, i'm not even sure how she did that.
Oh and my other sister got me a rubiks cube last year my face must have given away how rubbish it was, luckily it disappeared into little sisters room and as far as i know she still has it.

An "organiser" thing that you clip onto the visor in your car.

I don't have a car, or even a driving licence.

I had to sit there and look grateful. As soon as my uncle went, it got put in the back of a cupboard and never touched again.

I must add though, this really is a brilliant thread, a contender for thread of the year IMO. Some of the posts are brilliant - I mean a double glazed window? There isn't a chance i'd be able to be grateful for that without crying with laughter. :D :D :D
 
This thread is hilarious and it sounds like I got off pretty lightly as a child. My family is pretty good at present buying and I think it's passed onto me.

Last year was possibly one of the worst actually, I got one of those trays with the cusion on the bottom for eating your tea off while sitting on the sofa. It had a lovely picture of some wild flowers on the top....err I'm 28 not 78
 
My nan used to work for an oxfam shop in london and one year all our pressies came from there, mine was a half empty bottle of perfume which was off! She did have plenty of money but was just mean with it.
