Someone Gave You THAT? Worst Gift Ever?

[badgalbetty]

at the time, I thought it was the worst ever . Now almost two years later I think it was the most wonderful thing ever. In fact I can recomend it. Without this I would still be in hell.
I was given divorce papers.

Me too. Years ago. No kids and it still took over two and a half years! Went through three attorneys. They were the only ones that got anything out of it. Re-married and all is well. Rule #1: don't marry a psycho and then find out her whole family are psychos!! She was really good at hiding that. A pro. Who'd a thought?? Worse thing #2 does is leave the garage door up! I can deal with that... no psycho issues there!

I have two other sisters so there have been a few boyfriends throughout the years.

Several years ago, my dad's wife put together three photo albums.  One representing each of us with EVERY possible picture she could get her hands on that included a past boyfriend. 

Did she kindly and tactfully give that photo album to each of us?  Of course not. 

She gave it to the guys we were with at that time.   

Nothing more awkward than having your b/f look at pictures of you snuggled up to someone else over the years.

i may be the only one that thinks this is the most hilarious thing you could do to someone.   

then again i'm glad i'm not the boyfriend getting this gift. because that would really suck.

I was about 20 and got a Strawberry Shortcake lunch box.    Lots of thought went into that.   I kept it and strapped it to the seat of my old 900 Ninja.   Now that I think about it a bit, I was 24 or so. 

My mother also got me some oddball stuff.   Strange colored scarves and such.   Nothing malicious or mean, just kind of oddball.   She died about 10 years ago, I wish I still got the oddball gifts.   

I got my ex her birthstone on some earrings.    Cost me over $600.   As soon as she saw them, she said, "Can you take them back?"    No thanks, no gee, that isn't my color, no nothing, but, can you take them back?    I took them back and bought some tires and other stuff for my bike.    At least my bike isn't rude. 

Speaking of psycho ole ladies, that one was a kleptomaniac/alcoholic, that unbeknownst to me, had 8 arrests for shop lifting, right before I met her, had been arrested again for shoplifting, and moved in with me a couple months later.   At court, I went with her, they went over her record, and she got 300 days in jail.   I took her court papers home with me, since they locked her up right then, and there was a psych report that said she was a sociopath.   The judge warned her that if she did it again, 3 years in prison was next.   So I had her mini van, and got to watch her birds.   She did the full 300 days because she kept getting caught doing stupid sh!t.    The day she got out, she went to the big department store where she got caught the last time (rhymes with Spaceys), and stole $1100 worth of stuff, including my Christmas present (She told me this later).    Other than the kleptomania, alcoholism and the sociopath stuff, she was perfect.   

It didn't last too much longer after that.    She went back to her husband.    Did I forget to mention that she was married, too?    When we were living together, he had this knack for calling when we were getting it on in the mornings.    I would just set the phone there on the bed.   He is the only enemy I have in the whole world, and I've never met him.

Now that is some crazy shit. There's a six foot tall winners trophy out there some where with your name on it! Damn dude... I do like the lunch box part, that's funny!
