What was the worst gift you ever received?


I mean it's the thought that counts, right? Still WTH were they thinking?
 
For my 10th and 15th year anniversaries with my company, I was awarded a "special gift" of a pair of drinking glasses with the company's abbreviated name cheaply printed on them. My 20th is this year... Can't wait!

[Yeah, the company's CFO is very tight-fisted - for better and for worse.]

Considering that I was a key cog in transforming the company from a <$1M/y company into a $30M/y (& growing) company, you'd think he would've reached a little higher on the shelf than a pair of drinking glasses... It was actually pretty embarrassing to receive such a gift in front of co-workers during the annual Christmas party after a big build-up introduction of "how important I have been to the company".

I have no doubt some employees thought to themselves "so after all he did for this company and all time served, his reward is a pair of drinking glasses?" ...then they pulled out their phones and downloaded the Indeed and Monster apps.

:facepalm:
 
For me, my kids bought me a colonoscopy for my 50th birthday. I needed a fishing pole.
There's a joke in there... somewhere. 🤪
 
Supplier gave me a sleeve of golf balls.

They were top flites...

Sweet that they were concerned about you being so full of shit. :biggrin:
 
what's wrong with Staxx?

worst gift ever was a Roy Tarpley jersey when I was a kid.
 
I got the clap once. Terrible gift.

One time won a sleeve in a scramble put on by people who didn't golf.

I think they were called "Pinseekers"? You could see the seam where the two halves were glued together.

A Timex watch with a canvas band maybe?

Haha. If I had to guess, it'll be another pair of the same drinking glasses (if anything at all). He likely got them in bulk on a pennies-on-the-dollar deal from one of our customers and probably still has a healthy stock of them.
