Worst gift you ever recieved

[Bulldogcakes]

<p>I just got off the phone with my Mom, looking for gift ideas. She tells me my Dad (who likes to garden) got a &quot;Ladybug Farm&quot; for my 3 year old niece. You just add water, and in a few weeks you have a zillion ladybugs. I dont know about you, but I'm trying to get rid of the bugs in my house.&nbsp;</p><p>I thought that was even worse than the battery tester my brother got from his father in law a few years back. </p><p>Any others?&nbsp;</p>

[reillyluck]

the worst give i ever received was that stupid fish that sang when you pressed the button.&nbsp; i threw it out the next week.

when I was a kid my grandparents would alwyas buy me, my brother and my cousins clothes from sears. That problem was they would buy us green or red corduroy pants. I always hated corduroy back then (20+ years ago) and the colors were bad

A watch from my mother when I was in my twenties. I've never worn a
watch, I still don't and she knew I didn't want one. She gave it to me and
said "It's about time you wore a watch" as if I wasn't an adult unless I wore
a watch. I never wore it.

<p>Tons of bad clothes.&nbsp; Especially from one of my brothers.&nbsp; It's not that the shirts are ugly, and they're always from good stores (Brooks Bothers once.) but they are always X-Large and I'm easily 2X and sometimes 3X depending on the shirt.&nbsp; I have about 5 or 6 shirts and sweaters from him in my closet.&nbsp; </p>

<p>The worst gift I ever got was some microwave popcorn and a box of saltines from my aunt and uncle.&nbsp; I think they may have had some money problems at the time so I didn't hold it against them.&nbsp; Its hard to act excited when you open that gift pack up though.</p>

Mine was from the Secret Santa at the party it was a no gift

The ones Ive received dont match up to one that my coworker received from one of our sales guy..... a VHS head cleaner

<p>When I was about 12, I got this from my Uncle and his now&nbsp;ex-wife:</p><p>http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/5908/5228wp9.gif</p><p>It's some kind of dog toy. A ball with a windsock attached. My uncle was notorious for giving bad gifts because of his cheap ex-wife. My brothers and I laughed so hard after I opened it up that we had tears in our eyes. He has since divorced and remarried and has more than made up for the bad gift years.</p>

I just remembered the worst gift I've ever given.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I was about 16 or 17 I overheard my oldest brother talking about his favorite musician.&nbsp; Well, I went out and bought him the Little Richard greatest hits CD.&nbsp; Turned out he said Little Steven.&nbsp; He still brings it up every Christmas.

[RoseBlood]

<p>i received a pair of those rainbow colored toe socks a few years ago. the socks really weren't as hideous as they appeared however, she starts telling me how when she saw them she laughed and thought how she, herself would NEVER think of owning a pair but&nbsp;they would make a great gift idea! wtf is that suppose to mean? anyway, i wound up keeping the socks and learned to love them.&nbsp;today i am the proud owner of multiple pairs of these lovely socks.</p><p><img src="http://www.wonderfullywacky.com/toesocksoverhead.jpg" border="0" width="291" height="277" /></p>

<p>how could i forget! my mother purchased a Monkee's CD for me a few years ago.. all because she caught me watching their old tv show.&nbsp; i couldn't hide my look of shock and dismay from her <img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/annoyed.gif" border="0" width="18" height="18" /></p>

<p>Light brown courdoroy sportcoat with dark brown faux-lether patches on the elbows from my Dad. I was 18! It didn't go with ANY of my parachute pants and the collar tustled my mullet like you wouldn't believe!</p>

A sweater vest from my mother-in-law. And she got the same exact one from my brother and sister in law. Oh. The hilarity.

[ralphbxny]

Older folks in any fam have no style points if they shop alone. I have a closet full of crap I need to re gift!

[led37zep]

My Aunt is a former hippie who now lives in Norway. I get the oddest and worst shit from her.&nbsp; One year I got an aligator made of wood, other gifts are a man purse, and a vest similar to what the norway puppets in &quot;Small world&quot; wear.&nbsp; Last year she wised up and sent me cuban cigars...then felt guilty cause its illegal so that ended that.&nbsp; Can't wait for the shit I get this year, I'm sure its a keeper.

[Turtle]

i was in High School and this girl had a crush on me, she bought me a ring (it was from a dime store or something).&nbsp; I told her, &quot;Thanks, this will go great with the dumpster outside.&quot;&nbsp; I had heard that line before and it was my first chance to use it,&nbsp; what an ass i am.
