What Is The Worst Christmas Gift You've Ever Recieved?

The worst gift I've ever received was from an Aunt, she sent one of these grow a frog kits.. http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/species/clawed.html

I was 3 years old when I got it, now I'm 18 and it still hasn't died. I've yet to name it. A few years ago I tried to give it to a pet shop, but they wouldn't take it. The worst part is they can live to be about 30 years old.

Well that's my terrible gift.

re: What Is The Worst Christmas Gift You've Ever Recieved?

Frog legs for dinner....................problem solved.

My worst.....................everthing that I get from my daughter. She knows I am into cars and tools, and she really tries. But she hasn't got a clue about what I like or need. If it's not a useless plastic toolbox, it's a set of Roadrunner floormats..............I'm a Chevy guy..............duh...

She means well, so I don't say anything.

re: What Is The Worst Christmas Gift You've Ever Recieved?

I used to drive for a package company in 92. I always ran a dedicated route to PNC banks.The tellers at one got me a "you really should'nt have" gift. A red sweater with,Frosty and snowflakes on it.They let the oldest member of the teller team go pick it out. I accepted the gift and recycled it to someone else. I was lucky I had to wear a uniform and could not wear street clothes.If I was I may have been asked to wear it.




As far as family goes my step-brother got me a carton of Marlboro's. I smoke but that was the dumbest thing I had ever unwrapped.I looked at him and then punched him for being a dumb ***!!!

re: What Is The Worst Christmas Gift You've Ever Recieved?

gave my best friend a package of frozen brocolli one year.

in 1976 right after i turned 21 i was coming home from a Christmas party and passed a trooper. floored it. the 351 powered galaxy didn't get far. ran off the road. least i managed to toss my bag. for xmas gotta DUI, attempt to flee, 110 in a 55, resisting. total fine, (i've told this before) $250 and 90 day suspended license. those were the days. the galaxy was totalled: flat as a pancake. rolled it four times, no seat belt, not hurt. spent the night in jail.


RoadRunner floor mats in a Chevy.... priceless!!

Or...
You might be a HotRodder if you've ever used a Cragar S/S rim for a Christmas Tree Stand.

re: What Is The Worst Christmas Gift You've Ever Recieved?

The worst gift I ever got was from my grandma last year.
She gave me a box of candy that was left over from a Christmas party she went to THE YEAR BEFORE!
They were so nasty, my dod wouldn't touch them. And my dog eats his own feces too.

Another bad gift I got was a couple years ago back in High School. We had a secret santa party and all drew names out of a hat to get someone a gift for Christmas. The Moron that drew my name forgot to buy a gift, so he gave me the change out of his pocket which ended up to be about 43 cents.
