Worst Christmas present ever

Xx#1BallerxX · Dec 22, 2004, 04:16 PM

There have been alot of horrible presents in the past, but I wanted to know what was the worst Christmas or Hanukkah present that you have ever gotten. It could be a gam, a system, clothes, or anything else I just wanted to know the horrible gifts that have been given across the country, (and in some cases the U.K.).

hmmmm thats a tough one.... so many bad presents have been givin to me... thats why i either get money or nothing now, but the worst would have to be a pair of binoculars that my mom paid 100 bucks for and she got ripped off cause they were only worth about 20 and you could only see about 10 meters in front of you... They have been sitting in the boot of my car for a few years now... I might give them to someone else this year...

I usually don't get bad gifts because 98% of the time I get cash. There have be times where I've gotten video games as gifts for Christmas, some of them sucked. The worst ones would have to be 'Pro-Pinball' (PSX), 'Double Dribble' (SG), 'Resident Evil 3: Nemesis' (PSX) [which I already had for the DC and got rid of because it sucked], and 'Ironman: Manowar' (PSX). All from the same person, surprised?

Wow, that's pretty bad. I would have to say that one of the worst presents that I ever got was FIFA 2004. It was my fault because I asked for it. But none the less, it was a very horrible game. You can't even create a player, what the hell?

Have any of you ever gotten something really bad for Christmas, let's all console eachother. Just let your anger flow from the horrible presents or cry on our shoulder. Don't hold anything in.

im giving my brother a pretty good present this year...(we draw names in my family...i didnt draw his name though) it's a shoe me and a friend found in the road, its got some writing on it, and it's this ugly tan color. i put a mint from burger king in it and wrapped it up...it's under the tree right now with his name on it

Geminiwave · Dec 22, 2004, 06:13 PM

in general, clothing from my parents. See what I dont get is that they use to be pretty good at getting me stuff. When I was 12-14 I liked to cross between wannabe skater punk(well thats what i look at it as now. I wasnt consciously going for that look then) or Seattle grunge (you know, ripped baggy jeans, and a nasty flannel shirt). Now I dont do that at all..I dunno what i dress as now, but its not like its hard to shop for me. And yet they keep screwing up. Basically I dont like really huge baggy shirts or sweaters anymore. And yet they keep buying such things.

I had to sift through the entire thing to find a goddamn gift card.

Dark Lord · Dec 22, 2004, 06:22 PM

pr0digal jenius · Dec 22, 2004, 06:25 PM

That's hilarious.

Last year I got Britney Spears' DVD from my brother...but that's because he's an @$$hole.

You got 2 toothpicks, DAMN, and I thought that FIFA 2004 was bad.

I also got this one present which you would stick a disk in it with a pokemon, and another person would put in another pokemon on the other side, and they would fight. I never even got to use it because it never worked. I opened it and it never worked.

poor thing...how can humanity be soo cruel?

CDsDontBurn · Dec 22, 2004, 07:40 PM

i don't think that it was intended to be dead by the time the un-wrapping was done. Guess they didn't expect the cat not to die inside the box so quickly.

that reminds me of this guy that came into the bank during the summer:

he was overseeing some type of construction within the city limits, and we have some pretty rediculous laws concerning erosion. If any of that red clay is seen touching the sidewalk or street, it's an instant $500 fine. To make things quick, he had gotten this fine.

He came into the bank with a wheelbarrow with a little bit of mud in it. he then asked for $500 in pennies. (this is a ridiculous amoutn of pennies...the boxes the fed ships them in is only 25 bucks, and its probably around 40 pounds). they talked him into instead putting 25 one dollar bills, 2 boxes of pennies, and the rest in nickels and dimes. once putting all of the money in the wheel barrow, he proceeded to mix it with a shovel. He then took this mixture to the city hall and left it in the lobby.
