Your WORST present

Re: Your WORST present

I never understood why my Grandmother kept buying me shoes for Christmas and birthdays.

But after growing up, realizing I am not the center of the world, and actually LISTENING to the stories of how--during the great depression--they didn't have shoes, I really felt bad about that.

Now that my wife quit work, the worst present I am going to get are the bills.

Re: Your WORST present

My worst Christmas present wasn't an intentional one, but a family member of mine rushing home from work on Christmas day to see me open my presents hit our dog with their jeep in the driveway. She had no visible injuries and the vet had just told us a bit before that she was doing fine, then called back and said she had a heart attack and died. She always had heart problems, so it was understandable, but for a 7 year old it felt like the worst present ever. frown.gif Other than that I don't recall a single intentional present growing up that I disliked. Was one of those kids that getting a present of any kind was awesome.

A Christmas coffee mug. It wasn't so much the mug itself, but the fact that it had been broken and glued back together, and it was VERY noticable. crazy.gif

Another one that comes to mind is when my aunt gave me a remote-controlled car. One of the ones that actually has a cord from the controller to the car, so you have to follow it around. I was 17 years old. smirk.gif

Well, I am pretty easy to please. There isn't one that really sticks out in my mind. I hate getting clothes I would never wear. Or cheap perfume that reeks. crazy.gifcrazy.gif

Re: Your WORST present

I have loved every present I have ever received. It is the thought that counts, and it is always better to give than receive. grin.gif

Now that I am done lying, I must make amends so Santa will be nice to me in a week and a half. grin.gif

I once got, when I was about 12 or 13 years old, a little kids puzzle of Mickey Mouse, you know, the ones with about 15 really large pieces, I was like, "Ummmm, OK confused.gif" I also got a tie that unbeknownst to me, had been regifted about 3 times before it got to me. It wasn't a bad tie, I actually liked it, but it was the just the thought of it being re-gifted so many times that kinda irked me. Last but not least, my friends in the NASCAR room know me as a Jeff Gordon fan, although I am not as hardcore, diehard as I used to be, but everyone knew I was a JG fan, well, after several years of getting JG stuff for my birthday/Christmas, it just got old. I kept thinking to myself, lets be original here people. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was actually nice stuff, but we're talking just cheap stuff. I once got a JG calendar that is displayed in a cheap wooden frame with NASCAR printed on it. If people want to buy me JG stuff, it's gotta be good. We're talking a piece of the car, a race used helmet, something with some value. I was getting cheap Wal-Mart crap. grin.gif

The worst I ever got was a bag of striped tube socks. Not even close to what I would have liked.
