It's that time of the year again, and I am sure that there has been some Christmas's where some you might be giving a loved one the latest gadget or dodah or what ever. However in return you get some thing where you are thinking "Oh you shouldn't of have." Polite followed by
Yes, I know that there is the saying "But it's the thought that counts." However this really falls into. "Why did you even bother!?!?!"
A notebook. We are not talking about a computer here. We are just talking about a book with pages of blank paper. What made it more insulting was that it was from one of my relatives in the USA. I could of walked up to the local shops for this, however this one was posted from USA to Australia. I think they spent more on the postage stamps.
$10 instant lottery ticket. This was not too bad as I managed to win $2. Just give me the $10 next time.
However i have to say that I did give some one a useless Christmas present. My housemate had his living work with shelves of transformer figures. What annoyed him was that people would walk/rum/stomp/skip/etc in this room causing the a random amount of transformer toys to fall over. He also had a play station 2. So I picked him up a Playstation 2 Dancing mat. He did not make the connection with that until he tried using it one later on that day.
So what have been some of the crappiest Christmas presents you have gotten over the years....
