The Worst Xmas Pressie You Got...

Space Coyote · 2002-12-13 18:14:28

topical eh! well I would have to say the worst xmas pressie i ever got was ... all those dunnes stores jumpers with the poxy designs on them. I've given all of them away to the needy so at least something good came out of my opening-of-parcel-disbelief.

its tempting to buy it for someone just so they would get really slagged though!!

The worst I ever got was a pre computer 1000 when all I wanted was a c64 was upset for a whole year esp as I asked for it for bout 4 years in a row!!

A tennis racket. Now this may not sound like the worst present ever, but it was just incredibly badly thought out, considering the price of it. I have literaly not used it once. My parent should really know me better than that.
Once I got a desk for my birthday too. That was lame.

A Sega Master System II. Wouldn't have minded only it a few years too late. Everyone was gettin MegaDrives but no our parents thought they'd stumbled on the hidden deal of the century!!!
Oh, I got a wind chime! I'm not female or gay so I guess it's pretty lame.
A few cds I already had. It doesn't take much effort to look at the rack before buying one.
Appart from that, poxy clothes, novelty socks, callendars....etc.

My ex's dad once gave me underpants. It was meant to be a joke, but they were still terrible, terrible pants.

Getting exactly the same present from too people. It's happened to me before

Mine was the broken remains of the fantabulous train set I'd discovered hidden in the top of my sister's wardrobe, only to have it crash down around my ears in smithereens. I guess I reckoned if I put it back and told nobody Santa would fix it.
He didn't

i hate those fookin wind chimes, a house in the row behind mine had one for about 7/8 years and leaving my window open at night for some fresh air all i would hear is that fu**in thing, really grew to detest it after about 6 months, and after it continued for about 7 odd years afterwards i was tempted to go over there and rip it off the wall....... dont think ive grown such disgust as i have for those things, especially as i stayed in glasgow and having no wind is as rare as water in the sahara... :mad: :mad:

hmm worst present as ive said before would have to be clothes that you would never wear in your life, especially when your granny buys you y-fronts.... :rolleyes:

Just thought of another one.

When I was only likkle I got a jumper. it wasn't so bad only the neck hole was so small an rigid that I had to get my dad to force it on and even then I nearly ended up crying every time I wanted to wear it!

My next door neighbours got one of them during the summer and it drove me mad. I got revenge by playing really, really, really loud mp3s for 12 hours a day and they took it down after two weeks.

oh my worst christmas present would be when i got a 'build it yourself radio' off my godmother a couple of years ago. 1) i dont ever listening to the fecking radio, never mind building one and 2)it said on the box pretty clearly recommended age 6-9 years :rolleyes:
