The worst present...

[Jennifer]

I'm taking my husband to the dentist today. I'd say that's a pretty shitty V-Day present.

Worst present I've ever gotten...well, I've gotten some pretty ugly clothes.

Share your worst...

[Anita Blake]

i was once told on valentine's that my then-bf "didn't believe you could know you love someone until you're on your death-bed", and would never, ever tell me he loved me. :eyebrow: . that was pretty shitty.

[AquaFizz]

One year..I got this cute fuzzy bear and a card. And then found out later that night that he got someone else the exact same thing.

So, the present wasn't even that great...but then he took it and duplicated it. Ugh.

[jabbernaut]

Are we talking just Valentines Day gifts? (btw, Happy V-Day, everyone :love: :D)

Cuz in that case, I once got a gift basket with a little stuffed gorilla holding a heartshaped box of chocolates. What's so bad about that, you may ask? Well, it came from someone I really didn't want a Valentines gift from :grumbles: ... but in fairness, I guess that would still take second place to no gift at all. :rolleyes:

Now if we're talking just gifts in general... my aunt in Alabama has a knack for giving me crap. Like really hideous Christian sweatshirts. :umm: ~shudders~

[Jennifer]

Are we talking just Valentines Day gifts?

Gifts in general...

[Byrn]

My wife left me on my 25th Birthday...oh, wait a minute, that was the BEST present ever! ;)

[Lilith]

i've never had any nice gifts for valentines... :(

why?!!!!! why?!??!!!!!! :cry:

meh, i'll get over it.

~sigh~

well, who knows, today might be the day....

~is sooo optimistic~

[LaughingTurtle]

Um yeah, I got a valentine as I was walking along on the drill field on my way to class today and inside the red folded paper was a planned parenthood "lubricated" condom. :eyebrow: It was sponsored by the Medical Students for Choice but still, will teach me to accept random valentines from just any pretty girl on the street...and here I was expecting candy :grumbles: :D

So prolly not worst, but at least most unexpected...

[Kindred]

I was doing fine today enjoying the fact that I didn't have to play into the hallmark holiday gift hype for the 1st time in years... Then an ex started bothering me online... Ruined my whole mood...

[Amelia]

my first boyfriend was an ass and gave terrible gifts.

christmas I got a George Micheal tape, on my birthday a pair of earrings and for VD a balloon.

the tape I didnt want. I dont wear earrings and he had his two year old daughter give me the balloon, yeah thats romantic!

[Vivacia]

my ex-husband rarely ever gave me a gift. he gave me a garbage disposal for Christmas one year.

Notice he's my EX husband now ;)

[Jennifer]

Well...garbage disposals can be, er, useful. Just like dishwashers and irons...

:p

[PirateBooty]

i was asked out to dinner...seems nice...but what i really got out of it was: the check.



lame, broke @$$

[Bellaedonna]

Last night my husband brought me a Valentine's Day sucker. It was a white chocolate vagina. :eyebrow: (Am I allowed to say "vagina" here?) Seriously, the .. um.. details were coated with pink sugar.

I felt really odd eating it, but I can't resist white chocolate. So, I scraped the.. um.. details off with my teeth. Wasn't so bad after that.

Is that not weird?

[Bellaedonna]

i was asked out to dinner...seems nice...but what i really got out of it was: the check.

Now, that's just wrong. The person that does the asking needs to do the paying, IMO.

[Jennifer]

lol@white chocolate vagina

Is he trying to tell you something?

[Mike]

~points at Bellaedonna~ She said details!

[night faerie]

I'm not the romantic type, dont expect things for Hallmark Holidays. I'd rather a random unexpected gift. Anyway, one year my bf walked into the house & tossed me a stuffed bear. Happy F***ing Valentines Day, eh? *wink* then he went into the next room. I was shocked cause he wasnt the gift-giving type. It was so cute and I loved the bear so much. I became instantly attached to the tiny fuzzball.

A few days later, maybe a couple of weeks, I forget it was so long ago, but anyway, we got into a fight and he stole the bear and ran him over with the car. He didnt even tell me, his friends did. I was devastated. :(

[Lilith]

awh!!! poor fuzzball!!! life of a teddy bear can be horrible...

~hugs her teddy Frank~

[Bellaedonna]

lol@white chocolate vagina

Is he trying to tell you something?

I don't know.. all I know is that's the closest he'll get to seeing me do that sort of thing. I just ain't that bendy. :D

[Tatum]

Several years ago my ex-husband and I needed furniture for our living room. We bought a new couch, two new chairs and an entertainment center. We did all this in November so when X-Mas rolled around we didn't have much extra money to buy each other gifts. We both agreed that the new furniture would serve as our X-Mas present to each other. HOWEVER, I got him a CD that he wanted and a Cadbury chocolate bar (his favorite candy at the time) just so he had a little something to open on X-Mas. What did he get me? A bottle of hairspray...that his mother gave to him to give to me. He didn't have anything so at the last minute he tried to pull something off. Oh yeah, and the hairspray was half used. *sigh*

[Jennifer]

Tatum, I just can't imagine why he wasn't the love of your life.... :rolleyes: ;)

And Bella... you don't have to be bendy cos you wouldn't necessarily be...er... ~cough~ :blush:

[sir archely]

no no no! if you agree to not get presents, don't get presents. you can't break an agreement and then be pissed that he didn't too.... that's just... arg.

[Tatum]

LOL! Well, it wasn't really an agreement. Basically he said, "we've spent enough money, the furniture is our X-Mas present to each other" and I kind of went "uhhhh"

I get the whole idea of agreeing on not getting presents and then getting presents anyway. That wasn't what it was.

[sir archely]

sure it wasn't.

uh...

yeah, i thought i had something there. turns out i don't.

but seriously, agreeing to not and then doing so anyway = bad.

[Tatum]

Thats what I THOUGHT!!!

*crosses arms and tries to spit*
*spits on shoe*

Doh!

[QuirkyTemplate]

Self-help books. It's like ... snap, I guess subtletly isn't very popular anymore. And then the "Admit you have a problem" step is missing from the book, cause they assume you already admitted you had a problem by buying the book. But no, it was bought for you.

[Apoc]

My gran was awful with presents when I was young...she'd come over and give my brother something like a toy car and I would be all smiles waiting for what she got me and....nothing...she did it to my bro a couple of times also...

I think hands down the worst presents ever where when I was very small, the guy my mum was seeing whilst in spain would always get her the shitest presents...on one christmas day, whilst opeining all the presents, we all suddenly discovered that he hadn't got my mum anything...so he left and came back an hour later with...wait for it...a petrol can :dozey:

[E.T.]

Worst present ever was no present on my first mothersday.
I had made him several small, thoughtfull presents for his first fathersday, he was very glad. And i got nothing. It actually really hurt. Amasingly.. still does.

Garbage disposal... hi,hi,hi :rolleyes:

[Alexia]

I've never really received a bad present. I think that even if they are completely pointless and random, they're still a gift and in my mind, gifts have feelings too. All I can really say is that a couple of years ago when my older brother finished school and got a pretty neat OP, my grandma sent us a card at Chrissy where she wrote down the bottom as a PS, "Guess we know who the smart one is." :dozey: I like to think she didn't really mean anything by the comment, but I was still pretty put-out by it.

[Bellaedonna]

so he left and came back an hour later with...wait for it...a petrol can :dozey:

rofl! OMG.. that's awful! and I thought chocolate genitalia was bad!

[Jennifer]

Go ahead, Bell. You can say chocolate vagina. :p

[Bellaedonna]

Go ahead, Bell. You can say chocolate vagina. :p

ROFL! I really hate that word... I guess.. well, maybe it was more of a depiction of the outer limits of the va--ahemcoughcough.. because technically, the youknowwhat is the part inside.. behind the youknowwhich. I'm really glad it wasn't the whole thing. There's no way in hell I'd have stuck my tongue in there!!! That just exceeds the boundaries of decency... unless there was some kind of crackerjack prize in there.. I would have dug my tongue around in there for that, only I would have hid in the bathroom or something.

I think I'm going to petition Webster to rename the female netherparts. Any ideas? /em opens up huge can of worms. heh

LMFAO!!! Quirk, if I could give you rep every day, I would.

Oh, I'm all in for that, I HATE the dreaded V-word! ~starts making picket signs~

[jabbernaut]

~starts making picket signs~
Word of advice, hon.... Don't use "Down with Vagina" as your slogan.

Just because if you walk around with that on a sign, people are less likely to take you for a protester as they are to think that you're just a very excited lesbian.

~nods~

:dozey:
does that say wisdom beyond my ears???? :rolleyes:

:dozey:

You'd think since it takes him 10 minutes to write a post he would at least spell it right ;)

[jabbernaut]

And if it does? :dozey:

~tackles nf into the pook~



(uh oh... I think there's been another hijacking, people. Please, refrain from throwing your shoes.)

PS- It's spelled exactly as I intended, so nyah :p

[Waffles]

~pulls jabb away from nf~

Behave now...

I don't really care about presents, so any present is usually a good one.

[jabbernaut]

~gives Waffles a beautifully wrapped present... inside of which is a shiny new silver whistle~

... since apparently you're the lifeguard / chaperone / babysitter. :dozey:


~hits the showers to wash away that nasty chlorene feeling~

[Bellaedonna]

Word of advice, hon.... Don't use "Down with Vagina" as your slogan.

ROFL!!! OMG.. that's too funny! <slaps knee>

Oh, and /em waves $1 for a look at Jabber's ears. :D

[Amelia]

a small theatre had the Vagina Monolouges playing there and in the window they created a giant vagaina with sparkles.....it was tacky.

[LaughingTurtle]

Vagina Monologues was playing here recently, my theatre teacher directed and also starred in it as well as a few students. Could have gotten extra credit to go see it but no measly few points were going to convince me to see it.

[Star]

Ok...here's one for the books. On my 21st. birthday my ex-husband changes his mind about our party and he and his friends go to the stip club instead. Left me at home with my sis-in-law whos 18 then. Says he'll be back by midnight and we can still have a party.

At 2am he comes in bringing, his idea of a present. Two strippers from the bar. And one of them has her kids in tow. A four year old and a baby. :kill: :furious: :kill:

The stupid women barely knew Kevin and his friends and brings her kid to his house, 30 miles from town!!!!!!! Even the four year old told her mom and I quote. "This is bullshit mom."

Needless to say I was extremely pissed off and a little drunk by then so I wasn't very nice. Especially when they started smoking in my house and I'm allergic to smoke.

They didn't stay very long and after they left the fight was on between Kevin and I. :broken: He was pissed at me, saying I ran them off and was a rude stupid B@%*! Most wonderful birthday ever!!!!!!!!!! I left him a couple months after that.

[Bellaedonna]

That's just awful, Star. I'm glad you're rid of him. What a mook.

[Waffles]

And we have a winner!

~hugs Star~

I'm surprised you didn't leave him them... what a prick...

[Neon]

Yup you definitely win on that one Star ~hugs and bubbles coming your way~


My worst pales in comparison. an ex gave me a "braclet" it was a plug chain he had taken apart and put back together :eyebrow:

The best present i've ever had was something really simple, someone gave me a daisy, a note and a chocolate. simple but made my day :D
