tiki Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Originally posted by tattoomytoe I got a solid wood oak toilet seat with lid You've gotta be kidding me? All from my ex husband ON THE SAME ANNIVERSARY... An alarm clock radio still in the CVS bag and price tag still attached - Lightweight vacuum cleaner - african-american anniversary card (I'm white). Then One year he accidentally picked up a get well soon card instead of a birthday card and he gave me the get well soon card anyway. f*cker.
Author tattoomytoe Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 i like the Mahogany Cards! sometimes they are nicer than the honky cards!
EC Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 :lmao: He gave you the get well card anyways LMAO OMG I cant breathe today...I better go check my blinker Fluid!
tiki Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Yeah I was like WTF you lazy ass, you couldn't find a birthday card? A get well soon card? It made me laugh though. Ebony cards are beautiful, but probably intended for the non-ivory?
Naive Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 All the presents I have ever gotten seem so perfect compared to all the ones you have mentioned :lmao: Sorry but it's too funny
Honesty Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 The worst present was an ab-roller. WTF was he trying to call me flabby? Another present was a set of pans #1 i don't cook #2 I did not even have my own house #3 I was only 18, wth did i want with pans????????
clandestinidad Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 LMAO.....WTF is wrong with some people!?!?!? Those are hilarious!!!!
LucreziaBorgia Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I got a set of Bach tapes that his mother had ordered off television and didn't want. It was supposed to my engagement ring, but the reason for not getting the ring became very clear when he dumped me during the New Year's vacation in Boston with his family.
clandestinidad Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 God thats horrible!!!! He couldnt have done that weeks before when he obviously knew?!?! Jeeez thats so wrong

It was supposed to my engagement ring, but the reason for not getting the ring became very clear when he dumped me during the New Year's vacation in Boston with his family. Oh, it gets better. He took me out onto the bridge in Concord - famous for being the place where there was the 'shot heard round the world' - the beginning of the Revolutionary war. I figured that he was psyching me out at Christmas and was going to give me the ring then in that beautiful historic place. It was late at night, it was snowing and it was silent and beautiful. He looked at me and said "I don't love you anymore". Then I spent the rest of the vacation there with his family. That sucked huge monkey nuts. Awful. Awkward for everyone. We got back home, I packed my stuff and I drove the four hours back to NC - (I had gotten a teaching job in September there and he was supposed to move there after Christmas). I'm thinking that he knew since at least September that he wasn't going to. I just wish he had grown some damned nuts and told me then. It could have saved a lot of time. Ah well, I was a different person then - the signs were all there, I just chose not to see them. Fast foward to the first Christmas with my husband. He got me a pair of socks. Yup, a single pair of good thick wool socks. Here's the rub though - we were poor. We are talking welfare, barely making it poor. We both had jobs, but it was only enough for rent, utilities, and groceries. So, for Christmas we told each other that we wouldn't do presents. So, he hands me this little package on Christmas and I was puzzled and opened it. He said, with tears in his eyes that he couldn't afford much, but he bought me the socks with his tip money. Some socks to keep my feet warm, as I always complained about cold feet - not having any decent socks. He said that out of everything he could have gotten, he wanted to get me something I needed. He said that my feet being warm were more than enough of a gift for him. Ok, I cried. I admit it.
startingover1028 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 A friend of mine once told me that her H wrapped up her very own clothes and gave them to her for a present. Needless to say, she was not amused!
Patiently waiting Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 For my birthday 2 years ago, my STBEX invited his OW over to our house (she and I were friends still at the time as I had not yet discovered their affair) so she could give me a present, earrings from Brighton. 3 days later I found his and her "love" e-mails on my computer. Happy Birthday to Me!!! As for an ACTUAL present, I bought myself a watch........
heckno Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Those are pretty bad! My worst one was a Christmas card, bought in front of me, and signed in front of me. He was a computer engineer, a real thoughtful gift would have been appreciated considering I spent weeks shopping for him and his family. After that I hopped on a plane and went back home.
Merin Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 A SOLID Oak Toilet seat?? Wow.. now that says "Love ya like no other" for real! Just think.. every time you sit on down to do whatcha got to do.. you will think about HIM Good God Tattoo maybe he could bring you in a nice cup of hot tea when you're in there sitting on that solid oak toilet seat? Okay.. mine isn't really a "bad gift" so much as it turned bad.. my EXH once bought me this perfume that was called rose water.. uh.. yeah.. don't ask. SO any who.. every time HE would go in to sit down on the not solid oak toilet seat.. when he was done, he would spray the bathroom with this rose water perfume.. Everytime I smelled the "perfume" I couldn't help being reminded of him dropping the kids off at the pool.. and needless to say.. I could never wear the perfume, it just grossed me out.
