DH works in a ski resort.
There was a landslide and quite a few people were killed, including
some of DH's colleagues. It received quite a lot of TV coverage,
and quite a lot of people rang, concerned about my DH. Some of
these people hadn't been in touch for a very long time. However,
DH's own parents, and brothers, and sisters, NEVER RANG TO SEE IF
HE WAS OK!

Worst gift: For my 40th
birthday my MIL asked to see me, and my DH took me to her house.
My MIL bought me a white fluffy toy cat. I laughed nervously when
I unwrapped it, and waited for the real present. There was no real
present. There was, however, champagne. I was pregnant with a
high-risk pregnancy, and could not drink. However, that didn't
spoil it for "them". They enjoyed that champagne.

Worst gift: My GM on
my mother's side is notorious for giving some of the world's cr@ppiest
presents. She is a narcissistic miser (although fairly well off),
and as such will gladly offer whatever she can scrounge from either
the trash or her attic. Christmas presents I have received from
her are as follows: A broken, cracked, nail-polished 30 year old
thermostat. A half melted candle with no wick. A chocolate Easter
rabbit from her freezer with the ears bitten off. Old newspapers
and newspaper clippings. Pens with no ink in them. Believe it
or not, these are some of the nicer things I have ever received
from her. Usually she gives me nothing. In addition, she enjoys
giving gifts that she knows people will hate or be embarrassed by.
One year, she gave one of my cousins a can of mushroom soup, which
is his least favorite food ever. A different cousin of mine, who
was about 35 at the time, got a pacifier and nothing else. Despite
her tastelessness in gift giving, she expects the world. Things
we've given her include designer clothes, expensive soaps and perfumes,
jewelry, steaks, and much more. When presented with these things,
she throws them on the floor and claims that we are trying to murder
her by giving her such inferior gifts and that her presents disgust
her. This is just holiday gift giving, mind you, and does not even
include all the continual day-to-day cr@p she dishes out. My mother
is just in love with her for some reason, but I have all but washed
my hands of the woman.
Signed - All But Washed
My Hands Of The Woman
