Worst Christmas Gifts

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I do like orange, but not when it's lighting up right next to where my head is as I'm trying to catch a sleep :evil: :lol:

Anyway, passed it on to my parents, who made it even more annoying by only setting the projected time and not the time on the machine itself, which makes it blink constantly :urff:

Not strictly relevant to this thread because a) it was by birthday and not Christmas, and b) it wasn't actually mine - much to my great relief! A parcel had arrived in the post on the morning of my 30th birthday, and because of the date, I didn't bother checking the address. I then took the parcel to my sister's house where I was having a party, and opened it in front of every female member of my family. Inside was:

1 latex mask
1 pair of cheap red crotchless knickers
1 female domination kit
1 other piece of cheap, ineffective tat (can't remember what)
and
1 Magic Moments catalogue

It was only then that a friend informed me that the parcel belonged to my next door neighbour. He'd noticed before I opened it but he was curious to find out what was inside so he let me go ahead. :lol: To add to the ensuing uproar, my 11-year-old nephew had got hold of the latex mask and tried it on. :notworthy: I couldn't face delivering the opened parcel to my neighbour so I taped it shut and reposted in a postbox far away from our street. And I thought stuff like that only ever happened in comedies. :lol:

This year could be a vintage tat harvest for me: since I really can't think of anything that I want (not which could be viably purchased, wrapped and put under a tree, anyway) it all hinges on whether the family cheque will be larger or smaller than the (frankly unnecessary) amount I've already spent on gifts for my family.

This I don't mind, but it is a bit frustrating when you realise that no-one else in my family particularly wants anything either. The only people profitting from this are the post office and a few shops. It's an utter fiasco. I'm seriously considering refusing to give or accept christmas gifts in future. I could use the same money so much more effectively in the sales, and the birth of the son of a god I don't believe in just isn't all that significant to me.

Priceless indeed :lol: :notworthy: :lol:

And why didn't you just let the nephew have the mask to play with, guess you could have had quite a laugh :lol: :lol: :lol: (of course if the parents wouldn't want to kill you then, or perhaps even more then ;D )

This is priceless, top stuff. I would have taken it next door with a big grin.
But are there such things as classy red crotchless knickers?

They live in Aldersundet which is in Helgeland, one hour from Mo I Rana. So further north than Trondheim.

Well it was technically hand-delivered, as the postman personally handed it to me, so at least I knew who was to blame for this dreadful mix-up. :lol:

I didn't know the neighbour in question, xo I didn't know how violently he might have reacted to my uncontrollable laughter. There have been at least 2 murders on my block since I've stayed here so I like to live a quiet life!

No but I imagine there would be some variation in the quality of material. And quality, these were not. :lol:
