Worst gift you've gotten..
So.. this is the other side of the story(based on lorend's 'Best gift you've gotten' thread). Now that I think about it, I've gotten some pretty bad gifts in the past 
What horrible gifts have you guys gotten?

Last year after my family Christmas party I found out someone spilled water all over my copy of one of my favourite video games...

I got a "shag" underwear from my girlfriend. It was shaped like an elephant, looked like an elephant, and had a trunk like an elephant.
A guy had to put his "privates" in the trunk while wearing it.
I opened it on Christmas eve and had my whole family around me: grandparents, parents, etc. I turned green half a second later...

At least I donated it to a women's shelter so the kids could get good use out of it.

A box that had about 10 decks of cards inside... easily my most random gift ever. I didn't even use one of those decks!

Your question is moot since a gift is an undeserved, un-asked for act from one person to another. If someone gives you something, you may do well to ask yourself why.
That's right elephant-undies man.
You guys should respect what people give you.

I always cherish gifts as surprises. Although there have been awkward times, it's like accepting it as a challenge and taking it sportingly..even if it means embarrassing times. 
Because at the end you know that you are loved and that someone was thinking of you!

I remember in grade 8 I went to a small private school, and everyone in grades 5-8 would do a secret santa. The person who bought for me gave me this horrible moose ornament that would poop out brown candy. Apparently she 'didn't like me' and wanted to 'get me a bad present.'

When the Nintendo Gamecube had just come out... My parents, for my birthday, got me a Gamecube box and inside it, they put a note that said "Just kidding!"
I was like what the hell...
In like an hour, they told me that they actually did get me one, but they just wanted to play with me first lol
Another one...this was a joke, for my 16th birthday, my friend gave me this massive wrapped up box. It was bigger then everyone else’s, so I was all pumped up for it, and then it was the "box in a box" game. It ended up being a super small chest with a jelly bean in it.
