    Default What's the worst gift you've ever gotten?

    The worst gift I've ever gotten was from my Grandparents on my birthday. They gave me a 20 year old pen that didn't work, and a notepad with a plastic Christmas ornament on the front.

    It was a major bummer. How about you?

    a super nintendo I know that sounds like a great gift but once you know the story behind it you will see that it sucked as a gift great console though.

    I was 12 at the time I wanted one for x-mas well I got it but essentially my gift was them putting it in layaway as I could not do it myself I paid for the whole thing out of my own pocket (chore money) it sat under the tree for two weeks wrapped saying it was from my parents before I could open it on X-mas day and the worst part was that was all I got that year a 16 bit console that I had to buy myself (oh yeah and a God awful red sweet suit from my grand mother and a 6 pack of socks from santa.)
    all in all I enjoyed the super nes but the rest of x-mas sucked.

    There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity ignorant people can be taught
    stupid people need to be shot.

    My mum once gave me an old VHS tape from a bargain bin. She said it was Kenny Everett, I told her it was actually Rory McGrath. She said, "well he's got a beard"!

    Ah no fun.

    My mom trolled me ages ago when my brother and I were much younger and would fight over the N64. Long story short we had well over 50 games for it and since we wouldn't stop fighting she sold it all off.

    That's not so much your mom being a troll, but really just hating the both of you.

    When I was really young, about 5 or some shit, there's a photo of me opening a present which turned out to be a pair of slippers from an aunt. The look of disappointment on my face in the photograph is fantastic.

    Don't wrap up clothes for kids, yo.

    There more to the story including multiple warnings. Straight trollin'. We did get a new computer out of it though.
