LOL.
That's so bad it made me laugh!!!
Yeah I wonder if that beats the string stuck to a card item on page 1.
The sender (family friend) must've been having a bad year, she normally gets me toiletries, not anything so obviously secondhand and used.
Friend of mine got a diary for xmas one year, just sent to her anonymously in the internal mail at work. At least she thought it was sent anonymously until she started flicking through the pages and discovered that the sender had made notes on his birthday, Valentines day and random other days when she should "make a fuss" of him.
Very creepy.
Christmas came and he presented me with a case of wine... okay... not as good as I thought, but I'll have fun putting it away...
Got it home - it was a case of his home brewed 'North Yorkshire Pinot Noir' 4% ABV Completely undrinkable, so bad I couldn't even cook with it.
He was looking for another worker not long after.
After a discussion over lunch today I was amazed by a colleagues presents.
Last year, her boyfriend gave her a huge box, wrapped in a bow and he looked very chuffed with himself. She unwraps the present and there's a smaller box, wrapped like the first (wrapping paper, bow etc). This goes on 4 or 5 times until she gets to the last, small (jewellery) shaped box and she's getting excited thinking "this is it..." and when she opens it up its the wrapper of a chocolate bar. Empty. Nothing. His reasoning? She enjoys opening presents so much that he gave her that as a present.
Suffice to say on Boxing Day he went out and got her "something more suitable".
BOING!
Up until now I've never had a really horrible present. But now someone has given me a...
SLANKET
WHY?!?
Really?
Do you want another one?
Oh no! I love my slanket! I'm currently sitting here with my leg on ice and my arms in my slanket. I'm lovely and warm and wouldnt want it any other way!
My slanket is a "doubles" one.... so my bf and I can both be under it at the same time and not fight over it.
A double slanket? The world's gone mad....
My sister gave me a garden gnome this year. Behind he's mooning, in front he's, erm, holding himself.
He is so dreadful and vulgar that he is truly cool and he will soon occupy a prominent place in the garden. Probably the front one, to offend passers-by.
My sister knows me well.
I like my slanket too.
Worst gift was off an ex boyfriend. We broke up but he said he'd seen the perfect girft for me so was still going to get it. It turned out to be a hidious giant stuffed pink pig! Why?!
You're right of course and I would never tell anyone that I didn't like what they had got me. Which is why this thread is so good as it allows me to vent without hurting anyone's feelings.
Still hate my Slanket though
OK - it's cold and I'm ill. I've given into the Slanket...
Kill me now!
" we needed a shredder"
"Fine, just don't f****n wrap one up as a Christmas present from my 8 month daughter! "
Needless to say Christmas presents have been better since
