Worst Christmas Present You Ever Got?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I think I've mentioned before on here, but I once mentioned to someone I wanted a comedy CD by Adam Sandler, "You know the guy who plays Billy Madison."

Instead what I got was this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadline_for_My_Memories

I never listened to it, so I can't speak for the quality. However, an 11 year-old boy expecting to get a CD filled with toilet humor and then opening up that was super disappointed.

I explained to my mom this was the wrong CD. So, she got me The Waterboy soundtrack instead. I figured it was best not to try for a third time to get the CD I actually wanted. At least the soundtrack to The Waterboy was okay.

one year my grandmother gave me a vhs of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and they must have sold her a promotional tape or something because all it was was a 2 hour continuous loop of trailers

I told them that I wanted Mortal Kombat: Deception for the PS2 which was coming out, Mortal Kombat after DA was looking cool again by the trailers and gameplay I had seen and I was excited for it and mentioned it any chance I had that that was what I wanted for Christmas.

The day comes and what do I get?

F****** Astro Boy, needless to say I was ticked off and had to go and buy my own Christmas present that year

Received deodorant as a stocking stuffer one year. There were other, better gifts too, of course, but can't quite forget digging into my stocking just to pull that out in front of everyone, haha.

The GBA Astro Boy's an awesome game.

I was told I was getting the remaining series of Red Dwarf I didn't have - 6 and 7 - but instead I got socks and a Terminator 3 T-shirt.

One time when I was a young lad my grandma got me a golf scope thing that measured how far you hit your ball. It was like a one eyed binocular with lines and dashes on the lens. Neat gift? sure... But the fact is I had never played nor cared to ever play golf. Quite random!

Another good one was the Christmas after I graduated high school. one of my aunts bought me a stereotypical ugly sweater (though I think this was before ugly sweaters were ironically "in") and told me she was starting my college wardrobe.

My siblings received an all-inclusive trip to a resort in the Mexican Riviera with their spouse.I got a microwave popcorn popper.

That was the very moment my "Yeah, you are the black sheep of this family." went from a theory to iron clad.

War Gods for Nintendo 64.  Couldn't pull off most of the fatalities and lost interest in it after a month.

The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He'd been climbing down the chimney... his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus.

What are your thoughts on Abraham Lincoln?

[judodave]

Remember that terrible Charlie's Angels game that was released back in the PS2 era?

Yeah, I got that for Christmas.

My aunt got all of her nieces and nephews seatbelt covers one year. They were little animals you slipped over the buckles. Yeah.

I got C and C Music Factory CD when I was 15. I like their one song five years before, but I hadn't listened to the tape in probably four years.

1998 and 1999 were actually good years since I got money in 1998 and some awesome Coliseum Video tapes
2000: Ken Shamrock figure from 1997
2001: Electric Toothbrush and dominoes
2002: Mickey Mouse pocketwatch
2003: Kid Rock CD and Star Wars Episode One board game

There was one year one of my family members gave everyone a present, but me. I was kind of holding it together (I wanted to cry, because I was embarrassed, considering I had given him a gift), but when he told me his reason was that he gave to his nieces and nephews, and especially ones that have helped him in any way. That was when I started crying. My mom and my aunt were so pissed off. I wasn't mad about not getting anything, but if there wasn't anything for me, wait until I'm in another room or something!!

Isn't a microwave already a popcorn popper.

I know they're kin and all, but can I still call them a douchebag?

Just out of high school I saved my money and got my girlfriend a $100 bottle of her favorite perfume. What did I get? A f****** steering wheel cover that cost like $10 from Pep Boys. And the color didn't even match my car.
