What's the worst present you have received at Christmas

[Greedo]

I have had a few. Especially when I worked in an office for the dip thing. Obviously people wrap up any old crap they have lying about instead of spending a fiver/tenner on something semi worth while.

I have had:-

A pair of driving gloves!! I was 17 at the time and didn't drive. They were the ones with the knuckles cut out as well lol!

A photographic book about Australia despite as far as I am aware never expressing any desire to visit Australia to this woman

A Homer Simpson tie despite never having turned up at work in anything remotely "novelty" related. Never a tie, pair of socks or t shirt with any ***** slogan or character on it

 

[nev]

a surprise visit from the in-laws!

 

[peps1]

the gift of giving!

a surprise visit from the in-laws!

Even worse - a planned visit as you also get the "pleasure" of anticipation. :wink:

Perhapse the driving gloves and book on Aussie were a hint Greedo? I wonder if the tie was a hint too :twisted:

I got socks and slippers last year. Perfectly nice, but I maintain that I am FAR too young to get socks and slippers for Christmas!

I joke with my family that my favourite day of the christmas holidays is the day after boxing day as the dump is open and I can get rid of all the tat presents I have received. :lol:

my list
1/ a glass "objet d'art" ..... probably a quid from argos, straight in the recycling bin
2/ a Leicester City football club shirt .... I support Norwich
3/ a bottle of some alcoholic brew obviously purchased in turkey in 1972 for 1 shilling but has now been doing the school fete tombola rounds for 40 years (managed to palm this off at the scouts tombola... so some use)
4/ a bottle of cheap aftershave with "Tester not for resale" label stuck on the back and half full.
5/ a set of hankerchiefs with the initials VA embroidered on them .... my initials are RA ... apparently it was a innocent mistake as my wife often calls me Victor (meldrew)...... for some reason...

A gold plated broach / tie button or whatever , in the shape of an old car ! I dont like cars , especially old ones and I dont wear ties or smart stuff ( except at funerals etc ) . Apparently it was made by some locally well known goldsmith !!! never heard of him !! some where in the bottom of the "crap" draw with half dead batteries and odd keys !!

and merry chrimbo to you all as the adverts are going already .........roll on January lol

A mate of mine bought his wife a wet suite. He used to borrow it, when she didn't need it, and go wind surfing. She didn't like water sports? Funnly enough they ain't married any more :?

 

[monkeybiter]

A 95% full bottle of sherry. Worst I've bought was possibly a set of hammers for the wife.
