worst gift

[lookingglass]

A portable urinal.


It was part of the Red Cross emergency kit my father got me last year for Christmas. Hurricane Katrina really freaked him out, so he bought all of us these huge kits that are to prepare us for a natural disaster. Although my father didn't know that said gift was part of the care package until I called him with tears streaming down my face gasping for breath. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Were they tears from sadness or laughter

Hey I guess that would come in handy ...Remember when Susie had her toilet on the back porch when they were redoing the bathroom

I guess I'll be seeing that hammer tomorrow

It wasn't me, but one year my dad gave my mom-get this- a big ol' shop vac for Christmas

! Of course she didn't ask for one

- he wanted one, and apparently thought it would be funny

.
Except it was the only gift he got her

! I don't think they spoke to each other for a week, at least.
Next Christmas, though, he got a nice set of pots and pans

. He didn't say a word.

Probably the worst gift I got was a "nursing" gown my Aunt & Uncle gave me one Christmas. I couldn't imagine what those holes/slits in the front were for since I was only 12yrs. old!!!

It was laughter. My father is a kidney specialist, so we thought that the gift was appropriate.

Oh that's to darn funny

Speaking of Kidneys

I just thought of another one...
The Christmas before my ex and I split up my VERY distant 2nd cousin got us a book entitled " So you're marriage is in trouble"

We split up 2 1/2 weeks later

I teased her about it the next Christmas

Regifted, super-ugly cat jewelry. Bad enough that it was ugly cat jewelry, but I was there when the original recipient got it!

My first husband gave me a bong for Christmas. I don't do that...not that there is anything wrong with that

I guess he didn't do his homework or even know me. It WAS kind of pretty and HE got a lot of use out of it but it kinda sucked for me as a present. *sigh*

Woops!

Lol...

I love this post.

The worst xmas present I ever got was from my moms exboyfriend. He gave me millet (bird food), rabbit food and a water bottle for the rabbit...all wrapped up.

I do like getting stuff for them...but stuff like playgyms and toys LOL....not food.....I have plenty of that.

Oh no they didn't! Your mother must have just wanted to kill them.

That is funny - but who gives that sort of thing for Christmas?

And what were you supposed to say when Justice asked you what you got for Christmas?

What's a bong? My imagination is in overdrive! I got a plaster hand painted sheep once, obviously bought from a bad craft fair and probably made by an 11 year old (and not one I knew, which would have been acceptable).

I got a stuffed animal made out of real reindeer fur. For Christmas.

Fortunately I was old enough that I no longer believed in Santa Claus and did not immediately assume that the gift-giver had skinned one of Santa's reindeer in order to make my present, but still ... Reindeer fur? For Christmas? Give your head a shake, man!

And no, he wasn't trying to be funny or ironic. He actually thought it was an appropriate gift for a 20-something animal rights activist.

Um, a bong is... welll something you use to smoke "recreational" things
