Beat: worst birthday presents ever from parents

[Gildwulf]

This year, my parents left me a few presents when I moved to Toronto to be opened on my birthday.

The first one I opened was a 3 months supply of this:



No, not a joke present.

My dad sent me this email on my birthday:

"would you like to try rogaine (minoxidil...the one that doesn't lower
your testosterone level)? I got you a 3 month supply for your birthday(surprise) but your mother thought you might be offended. Look surprised."

The second present I opened was this dvd:



In my 22 years, never once have I expressed any interest in magic. Or Egypt. Or Penn and Teller. The closest I can think of is that I used to play Magic the Gathering in 8th grade. Maybe they associated poker with magic tricks, or found it in a cheap dvd bin or something.

BBV: What are the worst presents you've ever gotten? With pics and stories.

my roommate just got one of these from his girlfriend for their anniversary. a montblanc pen.

apparently she was like "this is like the best pen in the world." SO?

[zhouerz]

dont hate on montblanc.

yea, comming from a jewish family this is a common birthday/bar mitzvah present that pretty much says "you're literate, right? well either way i saw this at target and thought it was slightly better than giving you the $5 i spent on it"

Edit: just thought of great response to this gift:
"You know i have Word right?"

[Wools]

That's [censored] horrible.

I always used to get NASCAR shirts from some relatives, never wore any of them. I dont remember anything being particularly horrible or suggestive though(wtf, rogaine?).

Also, my M:tG collection, which I havent touched in like 1-2 years is worth several times my car.

I guess at least they tried to buy me something they thought I would find interesting.

Oh also, I got one of these:



a few years ago before i even needed to shave. Maybe it was on discount and they thought i'd grow into it. I used it once but thought normal shaving was easier.

hahaha rogaine is awesome

i remember seeing pictures of you, and dont remember you being balding. do yo ujust have like a bald spot?

I got a Ken Warren poker book 2 years ago. Good intentions, bad delivery. Otherwise my parents have treated me very well in my birthday.

PS the presents got a good LOL outta me.
