What's the Worst Gift You've Ever Gotten?

[sophia jane]

Ever get a really bad, inappropriate, tacky or just plain ugly gift?

Ever give one to someone else?

We have a gift exchange with a set of friends entirely devoted to the tacky, demeaning and socially reprehensible. For instance, I once got a safe self sex kit that came with a plastic glove, a condom and a one-time-use of lube. All this came in a brown paper bag that I could use to remain incognito.

My brother gave me a 14 inch long pink double dildo. It was about as thick as a can of fosters.

My mother is the queen of passive-aggressive gifting. She gives me clothes, perfume, makeup, jewelry, etc. in the styles she wishes I'd wear.

At least she's learned over the decades to put the gift receipts under the tissue paper.

My mom does that, too, but with books.

I LOVE gift receipts.

*snort* Yeah, that is SO me!

exactly what would be so fun about it...

the thing that I thought about when I read the thread title was a few years back when I was a retail manager running a store in a tri-plex....about 35 employees of my own, about 50 total...got a not-so-Secret Santa gift from two of my 19 yr old female employees of plastic hancuffs, various flavored lubes and edible body paints...

that would have been ok...

a few months later though, one of them was in the store on her day off and I was joking around with her in a style I often did off the clock and gave a playful snap at her ass with a lanyard...not being aware her boyfriend was there.

A couple days later I had to have a talk with my General Manager about allegations of sexual harrassment...seriously.

My BF's mom always gets us tacky gifts - cheap cologne, ugly clothes, that kind of thing. A good rule of thumb is not to buy someone clothes, unless they're like my BF, who will wear anything I tell him to.

That's a mistake, telling a man what to wear; it can lead to a compulsion to cross-dress, or even wear argyl.

One christmas, when I was married to my first husband, his folks got him a $300 leather jacket. They got me three pairs of granny panties.

And he wondered why I couldn't stand his mother.

 

[sophia jane]

I think the gifts that disappoint me most are the ones from a lover/boyfriend/spouse that have absolutely no meaning and are something practical. Having been married for nine years to someone who needed a list of what I wanted (and it was always practical kitchen stuff), I have a great appreciation for gifts with sentiment.
One year, I got a rice cooker. Another year, tupperware.

my wife always gives me a list and I always buy enough from it to show I paid attention...then I try to get something out of the blue I think she'll like...I'm decently successful at it...

well I think my Grandmother is great at gifts that piss people off , mine was a knit dress in an extra large,, problem was I wore, and still wear, a size 5. I coulda wrapped it around me twice.. I think I was sixteen , and asked my mom in grandma might need new glasses.

My grandmother also gives bad gifts. She never gets the sizes right or she gives us something we would never like. Last year, she gave me this kind of figurine thing that was a fairy or something enclosed in a cube of glass. It was tacky looking as all get out.

Hmm could be why do people think this to be a loving gift? Why not just go on and stamp my forehead also?

Doesn't he know that the "No Tresspassing" signs are just an invitation to the devilish among us?

same reason people think "Every Breath You Take" is appropriate for weddings I guess...*sigh*
