worst gift I got was a floor length black trenchcoat.
Backstory: when I was in 8th thru about 10th grade I was a total goth/headbanger/jerbang/freak whatever your local term is for one of those kids... and I asked my mother for a black trenchcoat for like 4 years straight. never got it. then, my senior year of high school, LONG after I was done with that stage of life, I open my "big" gift and there sits a leather, floor length, black trenchcoat... ugh. of course I had to act like I liked it because my mom totally thought she was fulfilling one of my dream gifts. but I never once wore it and I think she felt really bad after she realized I didn't like it at all. sorry moms.
