I know Christmas was a week ago, but i was still curious, what was the worst Christmas gift you ever recieved? For me it was a waffle iron so as to make my own waffles. I only used it once and the waffles that came out werent all that great, kind of a shame actually.

A watch.
I don't see the point of wearing a watch when I typically carry around both a cellphone and a portable game console. (Both of which...you know...have built-in clocks?)

Was either my 10th hat or my 15th pair of gloves. Where am I going to put all this stuff. I only need one, or maybe 2 for a backup - just in case.

A crappily-made wallet. Looked like it came from the dollar store or something.

a shirt that said "I'm not short, I'm fun sized!"
i had put an oscar worthy performance to act like I liked the gift. I will probably never wear it.

You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner f***ing year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny."

A Cassette holder and no tapes to go with it.
13 years later and I still give my sister grief over it.

I don't think of any gifts as lousy. Sometimes I get crappy stuff, but I appreciate that people care enough about me to get me anything at all. And if there's something I absolutely must have, I'll just buy it for myself after the holidays.

After dating a girl for 3 years, I got her quite a bit of jewelry and nice clothes for Christmas. And what do I receive in return? A frickin' steering wheel cover! The worst part? The steering wheel cover was black and blue and the car I was driving at the time was RED! She knew this because we were in it constantly. I think she was at Pep Boys with her dad one day and thought "Oh crap! I need to get James a Christmas gift!" Her dad probably grabbed the first item he saw and told her "Here ya go. Problem solved."

For a couple years, my dad would get me nothing but tools for Christmas. I am the least handy person I know. One year, he gave me a ratchet set that I kept in my car's trunk "just in case" (even though I wouldn't know the first thing to do with it). After it came open and the parts spilled out all over my trunk, I picked up whatever parts I could find and just handed it over to my stepdad, who no doubt has better tools. Another year, I got a power drill. I'd say this was about 4-5 years ago. I never used it until a few months ago when I used it to put back together my entertainment center that I moved from my mom's house to my apartment.

A calculator. Not even a professional, cientific calculator, but one of those elementary school-level calculators that can only do the 4 basic operations. And I hate math

I can pass on this knowledge. Whatever can not be fixed with a hammer and duct tape is not fixable.
