luckily for his marriage it was a joke present before the real one was revealed later http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/88.gif

Christmas 1980, I got a Scalextric car, my sister got a silver flute; it wasn't the present itself that bothered me (I wanted that car), it was the injustice of my sister getting something worth around 20 times what I got. Kids are all about equality!
Ignoring the childhood gifts of clothing (the curse of being one of the 'poor' nephews), the absolute worst has to be the last present I got from my ex before the breakup:
Bear in mind that she had control of the family budget, which was significantly augmented by the fact that we were living rent-free in one of her parents' properties, both the cars were paid off in the sale of our condo, and that I'd been averaging between 40 and 60 hours of overtime a month for the previous 6 months.
It was a fifteen dollar gift certificate from a high-end men's store that no straight male over 30 would be caught dead in, and I opened the envelope in front of her whole family right after she had opened a gift of a gen-u-wine pearl necklace (three ropes of matched pearls, natcherly) with matching pearl earrings from me.
Talk about an embarrassed silence.

If it was a decent quality 50 footer, it wouldn't be so bad. If it was one of those little 12' indoor lamp cord jobbies, you could always use it on the person that gave it to you. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common.../icon_cool.gifQuote:

The one where you have to send a present back because you forgot them http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/halo.gif
a pair of shoes that didnt fit at all, but they were on sale, as were the pants that didnt fit.
friend of mine gave me a book once which she promptly borrowed "cos you don't have time to read it just yet" ... and then she left town.
