Answer 2

Ok, well it was Valentines Day, my boyfriend and I had been together for over a year, he had been telling me that he was getting me something I would really like.  When we got in the car to go to dinner...he was late, and had made no reservations....I had already given him his gift, I had spent the whole day making homemade brownies and candies and stuff, which he loved, and we both did not have much money.  He showed up empty handed, and said I did not have time to get you what I wanted but we can stop by Half-Price Books and I can run in and get it...I'm thinking "what?"  So he goes well I'll just tell you what it was, he says, "I know you have been wanting to lose weight, so I was going to get you the South Beach Diet book"   Keep in mind I had mentioned I wanted to lose some weight but I am only slightly chubby, and this was a horrible thing to want to get your girlfriend on Valentines Day...if you want to get something like this for someone, do it on a regular day...not a special day.

Answer 3

s*x.  I never knew a woman would be so shallow... made me feel like I was some sort of s*x object for her entertainment

Answer 4

An extracted tooth on a string. My gf was so besotted with herself that she thought presenting me with a part of her body was a divine gift. I was completely puzzled, as were all of my friends.

Answer 5

My husband' always got me nice things, I can't really think of a bad one. Although his mum did receive a washing machine on valentines day from her hubby....

Answer 6

A card that says I love You,

on the back it said:

"1.99"

LOL

Answer 7

My husband got me a garbage disposal.

Nothing says love like "hey baby look at this nice new garbage disposal I got you!"

It's ok though, he made up for it. ; ]

Answer 8

Just before christmas years ago, my boyfriend and his best mate (who I was friends with) visited for our xmas get together... my bf gave me a leopard print g-string (wtf?) and his best mate gave me this beautiful silver padlock bracelet!!

I was sitting there thinking, ok, I know it's the thought that counts, but seriously, a sleazy present from the bf and a gorgeous bracelet from his best mate?

Lol, funny times!

Answer 9

a ********..he expected teh same in return..oh f***in well

Answer 10

DH gave me tools (just because I used his hammer from time to time to hang pictures). And he actually wondered why I didn't like them. That was his idea of "bling". lol

Answer 11

it was my first birthday with my bf (been together 4 years now), he put 25$ in with the card and said it was to refund the hockey ticket i had purchased for that night.

or last year, he wrote in the card "i owe u a watch"... still haven't gotten it yet! lol

After trying to gently guide him, he did get me lingerie (nice, tasteful, in my favorite color) and massage oil... but if he listened to what i say he'd know i was allergic to  it lol

wow, i sound bitchy don't i lol

but i mean i get him pretty cool gifts i think... swiss army watch, hockey and concert tickets in different cities that we can go visit, an ipod,

anyway, i was able to suck a good deal outta him... i'm turning 29 this year and he promised me we'll be married by my 30th bday ;)

Answer 12

Absolutely nothing...

ON MY BIRTHDAY.

It totally happened and I was just... awed... in a bad way.

Answer 13

Never got a bad one. Like they say it is the thought that counts.

Answer 14

It was a blind date.  He brought me a copy of a book with a title like "Ten steps to fix your screwed up life".

Answer 15

It was a bottle of a perfume I had an allergic reaction to. Poor thing ended up driving me to an emergency room afterward.

Answer 16

He went behind a florist shop and picked, out of the garbage, two plastic picks that said "Baby" and "Good Luck" and proudly presented them to me, thinking I would praise his wacky sense of humor and resourcefulness.  I didn't.  He traveled on business a lot and would bring me the wrapped mini-soaps and plastic cups from the bathrooms and say "here's your presents."  So which of us was the bigger jerk - him for being himself or me for keeping him around as long as I did?

Answer 17

A couple of months ago my g/f went away for the weekend and she gave me a keyring in the shape of a Duck-billed Platypus, I had never even heard of the d**n things before then.
