Question of the day 1/10/07

So I thought maybe I would try and do a question a day here. So many of us have so many different experiences, I love reading all the responses on the different topics...

So first one is

What was the WORST present you ever got from a significant other?
And details--

I was 19, dating my hs/college boyfriend. He showed up for my b-day with a present wrapped in tissue paper secured by chewing gum! It was a grey sweatshirt from Aeropostale!
I was so materialistically mad especially since I saw it was ON SALE a few days earlier!

Ohh that wrapping takes the cake...

From an old boyfriend on my 25th birthday...a lipstick case...thats it not even lipstick...needless to say he is an ex

I bought an ex a Claddagh ring for Christmas one year. He bought me a jewelry box. With nothing in it. I already had 3.

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

I had one boyfriend who bought me earrings that a baby would wear. I was happy to get a present but upset that he did not put any thought into the gift. I later found out that he sent his little brother to buy the gift.

now that I think about it- I have always picked out my own presents

A playstation game. I didn't own a playstation at the time. HE DID! Buh bye...

For my college graduation my then boyfriend bought me Adam Sandlers Best of SNL on DVD!

I never really got a bad gift. but the one that was least liked by me was this past Christmas. DH bought me a Bare Minerals starter set and some other BM items that I already had.

I exchanged everything. I guess it's the thought that counts

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

a guy I was dating when I was around 20 bought me a very racy piece of lingerie that covered nothing. It was basically some black elastic. Then he wanted me to wear it out..I mean out.

We were out somewhere and asked me to put it on. Also, he got me some weed. He though that was the perfect gift. He called it organic.

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

My HS boyfriend had gotten me a necklace that he swore he bought himself and proceeded to tell me how much he spent on it (I wouldnt have cared how much he spent, except thats how much I then spent on him)....of COURSE i found out later that his mom had picked it up for him to give to me and that he had LIED about how much it cost.... and why couldn't that have made me realize how much a loser he really was

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

hmmm....about 6 years ago, Rich tried to buy me clothes for christmas, only he never asked my size!!!

He told me he tried to judge by looking at the things in the store, holding them up, etc...

he ended up giving me size 6 pants, and an XXL top

If you know me, you KNOW I'm no size 6...in fact, I've been bigger than that since 8th grade

And the top was big enough to wear OVER a winter coat!

My DH bought me for our first Xmas, when we were dating a pearl necklace with diamonds. I hate pearls and think they are old lady-ish. I wore it that day and never again.

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

I was dating a guy from Belgium when I moved to the US. He came over the first Christmas I was here and brought me white underwear - a plain white bra and big panties I had bought him aftershave, shoes, a travel bag, a sweater and paid for half of his ticket over here

I barely stopped the car long enough for him to get out when dopping him off at the airport when he was leaving

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

DH personalized a pair of shoes that he bought on the internet for me...they were pink high tops that you slip in to, and they had a nickname that he calls me etched on the back of them...

I don't know what he was thinking!

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

A guy I was dating years ago gave me a card with $50 in it and told me he knew I wanted a computer and that was to put towards it
This was in the day when computers were like $2K.
This also was a long string of crappy gifts - this was just the worst.


BTW - cute idea !!!!

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

I don't think I've ever gotten a bad gift from a SO

Re: Question of the day 1/10/07

A cookbook, a ton of extremely complicated & slutty Victoria Secret outfits & knock-me down *@(@ shoes. The card said something sexual about "cooking".

While some people would appreciate the gift, it was not me. It was sooo not me & he knew it wasnt me because it was a running argument we used to have - how I was not domestic & didn't dress up enough for him.
