Most Awkward Presents

[Clueless Morgan]

My mom got me gift cards to Lane Bryant and a gym for Christmas. That's when I knew I had gotten fat.

The Lane Bryant card came in handy, at least, so, there's that....

OMG! That's horrible!! I would have died of embarrassment; it sounds like you have enough of a sense of humor that you handled it better.

Really?

Wow.

See, in this instance I'd be a bitch and give back a cake of soap . . .

Through middle school and high school I grew out my hair, and the year I was a junior my hair went below my shoulder blades. That year for Christmas my grandmother got me a hair braiding and beading kit, in a bright pink box with two young girls on the front. Ages 8-11. I wish I could say she did it as a joke, but she was completely sincere about it.

Every year for Xmas my mother-in-law gets me a large bag of salted peanuts, 2 years ago they were truffle flavoured for a change eeeuucchh.

DISAGREE!!

As a kid, my uncle once bought me a five-gallon tub of cookies and creme ice cream. It was the best birthday present I ever got as a kid!!

I do actually have a memory of an awkward present. Though, to be honest I think it was more of an embarrassing present, and I think I was the only one who understood it at the time.

It was at a time, in my early teens, when I began reading actual novels instead of the children's books the school library contained. My family was aware that I was becoming quite the avid reader, and one Christmas I suppose they decided to get me books as presents. I am uncertain if the presents were a joke, but I believe to this day that they were not. In my father's rather ignorant way, he gave me children's books for Christmas. I remember one of them was a silly few page length Goofy book on exercise.

I think I hid my embarrassment and my disappointment, and I never stated anything aloud. In time, the books did become better once my family actually took a more invested look into what it was I preferred to read. At the time, it was mostly Dean Koontz and Anne Rice, two of my all-time favorite authors even to this day.

I will never get those images out of my head. One of the last scenes shows a chick fucking another chick to death with a katana.

Wow! that part about the katana got me excited. I can't comment on this thread because people don't give me movies like that.

What's the most awkward present you've ever gotten?

My mom once got me what she thought was an interactive horror B-movie. It was actually interactive horror porn. Then, we watched it together. I will never get those images out of my head. One of the last scenes shows a chick fucking another chick to death with a katana.

You sat through the whole thing WITH YOUR MUM!!!hock:
