Worst birthday present

idunnoshur

Tomorrow I'm 21, I was under the impression that people get good gifts from their parents when they reach this milestone but it's not true for me.

The old man came into the house an hour ago with a big box all wrapped up in lovely wrapping paper. I walked over to him wondering what was going to be in the box, he handed it to me and said to open it. I opened her up and there was a rabbit trap in it, the price was still on it: €12.25, I told him how great it was and he was saying that rabbits were cleaning out the place. We spoke for a short while longer then he went off to have a shower.

He was 100% serious throughout this conversation and was genuinely thought that I would love a rabbit trap for my 21st birthday. My brother thinks it's hilarious, for his 21st he got a ferret and the necessary apparatus for ferreting. I get a shitty fucking rabbit trap. My mother is going to have a fit when she gets home from work.

I shouldn't have expected any better from him though, he usually doesn't bother with gifts.

So AH has anyone on here got a worse present than a rabbit trap?

Sounds like a hoax to me ... wait until tomorrow, there might be a Ferarri in the driveway yet!

And happy birthday, for what it's worth!

21st birthday aren't that big over here. It's more of an American thing where becoming 21 means you can legally vote, drink, etc. It's a celebration of becoming a fully-fledged adult.

I got a car for every birthday, Christmas day, and any other holiday since I was 2.

Always wanted a rabbit trap though .

A friend of mine gave me a Fruit Cake in Zanzibar for my 21st.

I don't believe the Fruit Cake made it home that evening....

One birthday, two people I know each got me a small pewter wizard. they didnt know the other was getting one either which makes me question what people think about me. I dont even like wizards.

They didn't find out about that . I would if I knew what bait to put in it.

Throw a ferret down a rabbit hole then catch the rabbits in a net when they go running out, it's great sport.

I severely doubt it, the old man's gone as tight as a ducks ass recently. I've organised my own party already, there's a hundred people said they'd come on Facebook to the local pub, should be a good night.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

What do you mean by that?

girl in the striped socks

A Chinese fan from an ex. It was horrific.
Lately I got underwear that didn't fit. Apparently he looked at the size jeans I wear & went into the shop to pick out what he liked.
He didn't take into consideration that my boobs are a good bit bigger than my arse.
And no, there are no pics... At least not ones I want to share with AH

I got a hb romantica...

My mate got a combined birthday and christmas present from his ex a few years ago. Starts off pretty bad immediately considering his birthday is in February. Turned out she'd gone out and got her hair and make up professionally done and then went to a photographer for some professional prints of herself. Then she presented him with this in his house on christmas day. He'd bought her an expensive camera she wanted.


Needless to say he grew a pair of balls and just 8 months later broke up with her.

my sister gave me 3 maltesters for my birthday before. I mean they're nice and all but their value only amounts to about a euro eighty. I wasnt too happy.

Burned the house down aye? Goodman!

Put carrots in then use a stick to dispatch the catch, it's where the carrot and stick saying came from!

Clothes that were too small. A toaster and car mats from my ex husband while we were engaged

You should be grateful of your new rabbit trap, it's the thought that counts. Perhaps you father was trying the use the rabbit trap as a euphemism to suggest not to go starting a family yet, breeding like a rabbit yet ... get it, rabbit trap.

Not a birthday gift, but for Valentines day my then boyfriend got me a box of cigarettes and - I **** you not - a euro scratch card. If I hadn't laughed my ass off so much, I'd have gone slap happy on his face.

Dusty87

An ex of mine gave me one of presents shortly after midnight and said 'if you dont like it, il keep it'. It was an album of a singer i hated and funnily enough, she loved. She knew this because of continuous arguments in the car about changing the radio station when one of his songs came on. 'no, thanks love, il keep it', i replied. Gave it to my mate the next day though,
good times, good times.

Obviously your parents want you to kill the ferret. Your real present will be given upon presentation of it's pelt.

Happy birthday.

You never know, you might get something decent later. And no I can't top the rabbit trap, I normally get class presents because I drop so many hints.

Nothingbetter2d

Op you can go rabbit hunting now... then feed your dad with so much rabbit for dinner. he'll never starve again. Genius.

happy birthday

To get nothing for your birthday! It sucks its the thought that counts not how good or bad a gift is! A card do me fine rather someone forget it but its the thought that counts though, if they can remember my birthday I be happy with that!

I got a "Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl" card from my Gran for my 21st with a photograph of a complete stranger in it.

I was single at the time and always was/still am of the male variety. Never asked about the photo, too scared

Why did you feel the need to tell us he went off to have a shower, its not relevant to the thread and adds nothing to your dismay at getting such a crap present?

Why will your mother have a fit, is she epileptic?? Can she predict seizures? Here are some things you should do/not do:

How to help during a seizure

• Protect the person from injury.
• Keep him or her from falling if you can, or try to guide the person gently to the floor.
• Try to move furniture or other objects that might injure the person during the seizure.
• If the person is having a seizure and is on the ground when you arrive, try to position the person on his or her side so that fluid can leak out of the mouth. But be careful not to apply too much pressure to the body.
• Do not force anything, including your fingers, into the person's mouth. Putting something in the person's mouth may cause injuries to him or her, such as chipped teeth or a fractured jaw. You could also get bitten.
• Do not try to hold down or move the person. This can cause injury, such as a dislocated shoulder.
• How to help after a seizure
• Check the person for injuries.
• If you could not turn the person onto his or her side during the seizure, do so when the seizure ends and the person is more relaxed.
• If the person is having trouble breathing, use your finger to gently clear his or her mouth of any vomit or saliva. If this does not work, call for emergency help.
• Loosen tight clothing around the person's neck and waist.
• Provide a safe area where the person can rest.
• Do not offer anything to eat or drink until the person is fully awake and alert.
• Stay with the person until he or she is awake and familiar with the surroundings. Most people will be sleepy or confused after a seizure.
• Things to watch for during a seizure
• You may be able to provide valuable feedback to the doctor treating the person having the seizure. Try to remember:

• How the person's body moved.
• How long the seizure lasted.
• How the person acted before the seizure.
• How the person acted immediately after the seizure.
• Whether the person suffered any injuries from the seizure.

My sister gave me a horrible pair of size 18 jeans for my 17th birthday (I was a 12). Didn't talk to her until my 18th.

Why did you make your friends go all the way to Zanzibar for your birthday? No wonder you got crap presents....
