the most pointless present i ever got would have to be a touch screen remote for my telly which i never used because i had a perfectly good one already,the most random would have to be a mini breathalyser

An archaeology game, which was a basically a brick of dirt with a bone inside it, with a mini hammer and chisel to break down said brick of dirt. I was around 14 so I wasn't really impressed, then got frustrated when doing it and ended up chipping my tooth trying to get the fcuking thing out.
There's only so much "It's the thought that counts" can excuse.

Dont think it was an archaeology game. That was a pet brick

I had an ex buy me a pair of hiking boots. I had never hiked in my life, never talked about hiking and couldn't give a fúck about it. It's just walking to me. And what's worse is they were a size 6. I'm a size 11. I know i have a beautiful face that is hard to look away from but she could have at least glanced down at my feet for a few seconds to suss out the size situation. No wonder i made her the 4th word in this post.

Size 6 you say. She may have been out and guessed it some other way.

You know what they say about the size of a mans shoe

A book. Was not an impressed child.

I'd say she really wanted them herself

I'm a 29 year old red blooded male, so my sister thought it would be a good idea to buy me a Ornament Christmas house. It was super.

A colouring book and crayons, when I was 16 off an apparent "family friend"

Soap on a rope. Me and my three older brothers got one each off an of ours one year when we were kids, and they were all different shapes.

They were all made by "Burley for men" though

Who the hell buys kids soap for Christmas?

Atavan-Halen · 13-12-2009 05:34PM

Bodywash or soap is an insulting present IMO. The person is basically saying you need a shower.

Tea tree foot powder was one of the 4 random unmarked presents left under the tree last year... Oh how we laughed when I picked it!

TheZohanS · 13-12-2009 05:41PM
