Worst birth day presents you have received

Mine was probably Nothing as well (ex on Valentine's Day, after I bought him kick ass gifts).


Although, in terms of actual gifts, Fiance bought me 2 children's books for my birthday when I went back to school to become a teacher......Everyone Poops* and The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts*. He thought it was cute because I'll be teaching little kids, but he didn't really take into account the fact that I'll be teaching art. Or that those aren't typically read in school...Not really a terrible gift, but not exactly useful. :laugh:

*He bought those in particular because he's always making fun of my bodily functions.....it's easy to do so, since I'm a lactose intolerant cheese lover.

When I turned 12 my parents had completely forgot that it was my birthday until I mentioned it at about 7 in the evening. An hour later I was handed a Gary Lineker football annual. I fucking hate football and had never even the slightest interest in anything to do with the game.

Still don't.

Its the thought that counts.

Patrick:
Worst birthday gift I ever received was a lecture from my mom on how I'm an asshole for not wanting to celebrate my birthday in any way, shape or form.

Fuck you, it's my birthday, I do what I want. Also I move often enough that you can't send me anything and expect it to reach me ever.

Zingoleb:
My great-aunt sends me the same birthday card every year. The front says, "You may be older than you've ever been before," and the inside says, "But you're younger than you'll ever be again!" and the back says, "Don't think too hard about it, I'm pretty sure there's math involved." At first it was mildly cute? Now I'm pretty sure it's spiteful.

Lupercal:
I suppose 21st birthdays are supposed to be good, important, etc. This year my 21st was the first day back of University term in January (kind of awkward) and my Nan sent me nothing. Apparently she sent my 23 year old cousin a 21st birthday card too. Part of me thinks she's getting old and just not remembering things, but if she's got time to go to Turkey and travel around America for half the year, I'm sure she's got time to write a birthday card. I was bummed because I really love my Nan, felt kind of shit not to get anything at all from her, when distant, out-of-touch relatives even managed to say hi for my 21st.

Not bitter, not bitter at all!

(I did manage to have a kick-ass birthday party with friends involving blazers, though)

Perhaps we should rename this "When Old Relatives Forget You Thread"
