gifts

Getting a terrible gift for your birthday might be arguably worse than getting nothing at all. Yep, that's right. We're talking about folks that were filled with excited anticipation only to realize that they were being gifted something they literally owned. Or try a lint remover. Or, maybe a used pen that grandma found in her purse. When in doubt, cash is always a good and appreciated move. 

Ah, yes, another fine example of entitlement running around and creating a mess of an otherwise peaceful coexistence. After "Karen" gets a couple nice gifts from her coworker, she proceeds to ask for more on the grounds that her coworker doesn't have kids and is an engineer with a fancy salary. Um okay, Karen. 

Kids are weird and dumb. Sometimes they get really specific thoughts stuck in their head and given the choice to ask for anything they could ever want, will choose to ask for something like a box of kleenex or a really old pug. Here are some strange experiences for the holiday season.

Sure, it's the thought that counts, but sometimes all your great aunt can think of is a way to get rid of all her old mousetraps. Some gifts are strange but heartfelt, some are an excuse to re-gift some crap, some are a huge burden from an estranged family member. People get a lot of strange, inappropriate and WTF gifts.

Some people just aren't good at buying gifts. Some people are well intentioned but uninformed, like your grandma who thinks you're still into Beyblades. Some are just lazy, like your uncle who just cleared out his glove compartment into a shoe box and called it a day. These ones are weird, but sometimes people get gifts that are just insulting.

AskReddit users are sharing the most insulting gifts they've ever received, with serious replies only. People can be truly cruel. It's another level of coldhearted when you give someone a "gift" that are solely intended to crush their spirits. 

This guy took a huge risk when he decided to get his girl a box for Christmas. Lucky for him she must be one of the nicest women in the world. 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some of these seem more than reasonable and thoughtful, but what's great to one person, might be absolute garbage to another. 

In my day, we walked up 4 flights of stairs for a fun-size 3 Musketeers bar, and we were happy god dammit. 

But seriously, these folks have no chill when it comes to asking for free stuff.

These gifts are the worst we've ever seen.

Perfectly wrapping a gift is a rare talent, one that none of these people seem to have. If one of them tries to instruct you on proper gift wrapping procedure, politely turn and run in the other direction as fast as you can.

Taylor, a 19-year-old college student, recently ordered a fabulous pink fluffy phone case for her iPhone. She was so in love with its amazingness that she ordered three of them off of Amazon.

Unfortunately for her, she ordered them for a iPhone 6+ and her phone is only a 6... Before she was able to cancel all three orders the pink fluffy one arrived. So, she gifted it to her dad!

Now the Internet is trying to take her story and make it their own by adopting Dad and his fluffy phone case.

Every Thursday is garbage day. And every Thursday 3-year-old Brooklyn Adracke is glowing with anticipation as she waits for her favorite person in the world, Delvar the garbage man.

Last Thursday was Brooklyn's birthday and she really wanted to share one of her cupcakes with Delvar. She stood and waited with the cheeziest smile, until Delvar finally arrived.

Then, that following week, Delvar showed up with a surprise of his own.
