Worst or most inapropriate birthday present ever?

For Christmas, an uncle of mine bought his wife a new toilet seat. And they say romance is dead. They're currently separated, by the way. I have an uncle too, who did the "Happy Birthday Mum, here's a new games console. What? You don't want it? Oh, I suppose I'll have it then." routine.

My auntie, who lives in France, once sent my Grandma a hamper full of out of date French groceries. That was a good laugh.

This was not intended as a present, but freshman year in college I received a Dear John letter on my birthday from a girl I'd dated in high school. It doesn't sound like a big deal now, but at the time it was devastating. She didn't know it was my birthday, so I can't blame her for excess insensitivity.

Mark looks to me as if she did try. Paul love your one. David I knew somebody who did that it wasn't to me though I'm glad to say. Justyn a bit late but one word commiseration's.

An aunt and uncle used to give me these pewter belt buckles, depicting such scenes as a cougar resting on a tree branch and a bear pawing around in the water for fish. Had I worn one to school I would have been beaten to a pulp.

The belts sound magnificent! My mum used to send me presents based on what I used to like, used to wear ten years ago. When I was a punk she sent me a terraced batik skirt and some matching paisley bangles . Soon after that I went to visit my family on the train. When I got nearer Preston I went in the loo and put the present on. It felt and looked strange with my big boots sticking out from under and made me talkj like someone else when they opened the door. It is truly awful getting unsuitable gifts and feeling guilty and unappreciative and this is why we have to joke about it. I am thinking of sending Liana a nice Eminem album to go with the fizzing bath bomb. That reminds me - in july someone gave me one of those bath bombs for my birthday. It promised to be a sensuous rose scented experience. When I ran the bath loads of slimy brown rose petals surfaced and later clogged up the plughole. Claire I hope you don't read this!

I once heard that you shouldn't give a woman something with a plug on it and you shouldn't give a man something with a neck hole.

my soon to be hubby's father got his 27 yr old brother the stud of the year award,which the statue is naked and........ i will let your minds figure the rest. less to say i spit soda out when it was unwrapped.

I don't get birthday presents so ANYTHING is brilliant as far as I'm concerned.
