Shortly After My Cat Died When I Was 10 And Was Devastated, My Lovely Aunt Gave Me This Book As A Gift While We Were All Gathered Together On Christmas Eve. I Spent The Rest Of The Evening Crying. She Was A Hateful Woman
Probably said something along the lines of "Oh come on it's funny, it was just a cat."
Did you sing, Ding Dong the Witch is Dead in your head at her funeral, too?
Load More Replies...Tbh I probably would've snickered at it... I have messed up humour lol but to give it to a 10 year old is really b****y
I just lost my little Huey a week ago. I would punch my aunt out if she gave me this.
Lost Everything In Hurricane Katrina. Sister And Husband Give Me Picture Of Hurricane Katrina
One of my neighbors went skydiving the parachute didn't open, he shattered both of his legs and lots of other things. For the one year "anniversary" of it his wife and family gave him pictures of the accident and skydiving lessons, he was still in a wheelchair! People can be cruel, especially when they think they're funny.
My grandparents were on a tight budget, and one time my grandmother gave my a giftwrapped, obviously used, (complete with lipstick marks inside) black old lady's purse/handbag that was horrible! But I certainly appreciated the intent. Smiling up at you grandma!
I'm Jewish, So Nothing
but by your fault (and by my inattention), I complained about my pc which takes too long to load the photos 😋😄
Padded Coat Hangers. Three Of Them. They Were Pink And Slightly Scented. I Was Fifteen Years Old And Unimpressed
If you want further context about why I was so unimpressed, my younger brother got a handheld game. Oh, and I'm not entirely sure the hangers weren't second-hand...
A Lint Roller
Being the guardian of 2 dogs and 4 cats, I would absolutely welcome that gift.
One of my hoodies would pick up ALL the fur in the house and I finally got myself a lint roller. Best thing ever!
Load More Replies...My daughter loves lint rollers - dogs and cats make it a great gift for her.
I’m giving 12 members of my family lint rollers in their stockings because my 3 yr old dog sheds like crazy. Everyone wants the lint roller when they are leaving!lol
When my boi sheds for the winter I can make a whole 'nother animal with his down fur.. so yeah they're awesome
Salt And Pepper Shakers
Not even fancy ones either, just bog standard salt and pepper shakers
I Received My Own Doll
In August my fancy, porcelain-face doll was sent away for repairs. My folks gave me the repaired doll for Christmas. My own doll WTF
Was the gift that they paid to have it fixed for you ? Cause that would make sense. Doll repairs can be quite costly
Load More Replies...A hat that I bought , had it beaded, got it back as a present. My own hat
Manners Book...i Was A Nice Kid, No Sarcasm
I actually have this book, it in fact mostly talks about how to deal with people who are sh*t to you without making yourself look like the bad guy. I mean, I was given it as a teen and was totally offended by it but it actually helped me convince a ton of adults to let me do what I want
Lmao yeah i did end up using some of these things on adults

I sat there crying while watching my 3 cousins open about $1000 worth of presents, each. Then my mother started yelling at me that I was being disrespectful and ungrateful and I should be glad I got anything at all.
Don't you guys dare down vote this comment, because all you have to think about is how you would feel if you were just five or six years old and everyone around you gets great gifts and you get a cheap coupon for fast food. Kids deserve better than how this OP was done, which is humiliating and cruel no matter what age the recipient is. If you think there should be gratitude, then every kid present that day should have gotten nothing, or, all of them should have been given coupons. There's no justification for this kind of public embarassment and marginalization of one child who is among others being given more favor.
Load More Replies...My mother was killed in a car wreck in June of this year. I've been talking to my dad's sister (the aunt in this particular story) She says Mom had a rule I was only to get one present for Christmas while visiting the grandparents and other family members. My aunt said that mom had told them I had presents at home. Mom lied, manipulated the whole family and hid everything from me and everyone else. Not sure why my dad didn't speak up but he never did. I'm still finding things hidden in the house. Just found a whole huge folder of paperwork from my adoption with letters from my birth family that she never gave me. She wanted a boy, the adoption agency gave her a girl. She took it out on me instead of requesting the boy she wanted...
You deserve so muchbetter. I wish you happiness and good fortune in the future.

i got word later from cousin that my uncle told them when he bought it that he was hoping i would give it back as i would not use it he even laughed that he was putting $100 on it instead of $50 and he would get to eat them steaks. joke was on him when i fed $100 worth of steaks to my dog
Omg, I laughed so hard at this, I would have done the same and fed it to my cats!
Load More Replies...3 Soap Bars... In The Same Year. I Guess Older People Don't Know What To Give To A 21 Yo Girl
Maybe it's because I'm 22, but I'd love to receive fancy soap bars like the ones in the picture lolll
I remember getting the same thing when I was about 13. My mum told me to put them in my pj drawer so it smelled nice, because I was allergic to soap!
That One Time My Friend Gave Me A Dried Up Tub Of Slime That Belonged To Her Younger Sister That Had Boogers And God Knows What Else Stuck In It. Plus, 3 Days Later She Had The Audacity To Ask For It Back After I'd Already Thrown It Out
A Photo Blanket Of A Boy And His Puppy. Not Our Boy, Not Our Puppy. Strangers. The Photo Store Was Going Out Of Business And Was Selling Off All The Samples
A Peach Turtle Neck
When I Was 13 my Gram gave me a peach turtle neck sweater. Probably something from Tan Jay (a favorite brand of the older ladies), I thanked her, but never ever wore it or even tried it on. Gram died 11 years ago.....I wish I had of appreciated that sweater, and her, more. I miss her the most at Christmas.
I also apologize for the life size photo of a sweater....
Load More Replies...alright but i wear stuff like this alot....am i o l d w o m a n???
No you are not an old woman!! I just only wearing rock band tshirts....when I Was a teenager, and now lol
Load More Replies...It was so soft and cuddly....and it looked way too small for me. It wasn't going to be pretty :)
Load More Replies...The Card Label
Presents
Underwear, socks,and bras from grandma. Never the right size , except the socks
Hopefully she’d left the door open for exchanging them, by keeping the receipts.
Load More Replies...Why? It's really sad. Perhaps you can buy something you really like as a present for yourself? I love presents, giving presents and receiving presents. It doesn't depend on the price, but the present must show the person made an effort. I give presents when I feel like, any day of the year, just for the sake of it. I do hate "impersonal" presents that show zero care and zero effort, and also the "compulsory dates", like Saint Valentine, when people compete to see who spends more money on s**t.
Load More Replies...Sorry Santa But A Target That I Cant Use For My Gun
Every single person in my family (all 31) except for my aunt gave me athletic wear. My aunt gave me a jar of nutella. Message received.
My condolences on the personalities of your legal relations. Might want to ask the aunt about the intention of her gift though. She might be worth keeping around depending on it's meaning.
Load More Replies...On my 13th birthday I slammed into a window and acquired 11 hours in the ER, around half a year of recovery where I had to pull the stitches out myself, permanent nerve damage, and gory, visible scars. I have to live with this now and I f*****g hate it. It's not even a respectable way to get scars, and when someone inevitably asks how I got them I have to be like 'yeah I got these horrible scars and permanent damage from being a dumbass' and it's become a joke in my friend group, a ton of people have me saved as window on messages and every time I see it I want to cry because I don't want to be defined by one of the worst things in my life. So yeah that's probably the worst bday gift I've ever gotten
The worst? Probably the Cherokee language course from my corporate-executive sister-in-law. Why?
Are you domehowcrekated to Native Americans, or have you ever said you wanted to learn Cherokee? It's so weird! Sometimes, people's reactions are totally unexplainable. By the way, have you learnt any Cherokee?
