Worst present ever?

[Auslander]

I can't remember what the actual present was, but I had a hoof pick, a headcollar and rope and some brushes in my stocking, which convinced me that I was getting a pony.

I didn't. I was 7years old. It broke my heart.

I told my mum what the problem was about 15 years later, and she was so mortified that she cried!!

When I was about 18, I received a packet of plastic insects.

Oh god, I've just remembered a birthday present I had once... and this might make you all cross! Can't believe I'd forgotten this...

I went away on a school trip - think I was 9 - and when i came back Mum told me she'd bought me a present. We went up to the stables, and there was this worm ridden scrawny little hill pony. Apparently, and I have no recollection of this, we'd seen a local gypsy with him and I'd said I liked him, so my mum bought for (for £250). He was 3, and sweet enough, but had this huugely long stride (used to keep up with my Mums big TB) and I just never got on with him, plus I still hadn't outgrown my cobby little 12.2, and I sort of outgrew the narrow little 13 hander before I'd grown into him if you see what I mean.

Mum decided to bring him on to sell, since I didn't like him, and he promtly jumped out of our school over 4 rail post-and-rail and slipped one of my mum's discs!

We sold him as a family pony eventually and he's been in the same home ever since :0) He must be well into his 20's now.

Now we all feel really guilty for our badness.

My ex-husband and I were given the most revolting wedding present. A sort of pottery tramp, fishing, about 18 inches high. Complete with real fishing hook to injure passers-by.

We kept it in a cupboard and when the doorbell rang, rushed to get it out in case the it was the present-giver at the door.

i nearly bought a friend a 4ft high egyptian sarcophagus drinks cupboard as a house moving in present..........they are very house proud everything the best. i kind of like the idea that they would have no where to hide it
shame it was £500 a tad to expensive to a joke present but by was it tacky

My OH received a set of refill blades for a pipe cutter. He did not own a pipe cutter to go with the refill blades, nor did he have any pipes that needed cutting.

A few years ago I was saving hard to buy my first horse trailer so I could start getting my horse out to some events. My non horsey (some might say anti-horsey!) boyfriend at the time bought me a toy landrover and trailer for Christmas! Cheeky s*d.
I have since ditched him, bought that horse trailer, and married someone else! Ha! Toy car and trailer have gone to the charity shop!

I have a few! About four years ago my mother bought me about five or six sets of pyjamas. Most still in packet unopened as I have plenty.

Secret santa present last week was a radio to use in the bath. Said person know I like horses and beer - the radio looked like it was free with their car insurance.

Finally, last year I think I upset my sister. She normally gets really good presents, so when I opened mine last year I got a cook book, I think I must have looked a bit disappointed when I opened it, as she was a bit funny with me all day!

For a halloween present one year, My neighbour gave me a felt tip pen, minus the lid. What was even worse though, is that it barely had any ink left in it!

She was a strange cookie!

First Christmas with my ex OH's family (who were all really nice) his auntie gave me a handbag sized plain black umberella It was nice of her to get me something though. I felt awful the next day because I had forgotten to pick it up with my other prezzies and left it at the ex's gran's oops!

My poor sister is getting the fabulous present of wellies this year well... she did ask for them
