Thursday Thirteen 13 Worst Valentines

Posted in Thursday 13

These were not gifts that I received, LOL-- they were culled from other sources, but as far as I can tell, they were true.

  1. In 2004 I received a can of Del Monte Green Beans, a National Enquirer, Neco Wafers, makeup brushes, dollar store peanuts, and a bunch of other totally random stuff from some idiot that must have shopped blindfolded at Walgreens. Needless to say, that was the last of him.
  2. My worst Valentine's gift was when my now EX-husband gave me a CHAINSAW. The was the Valentine's day after he gave me a GUN for Christmas--talk about the king of inappropriate gifts--he's definitely the winner of that award. I was so disgusted with the chainsaw that I gave him a microwave oven for his March birthday. We are no longer married--big surprise there right?
  3. No candy to wife/girlfriend with a note that says "You're too fat."

  4. Vacuum cleaner to an overworked housewife  (although my aunt got a dyson for christmas and she was thrilled.)

  5. Giving your wife/girlfriend season tickets to the latest MLB season, knowing full well that she isn't even interested in sports

  6. Cleaning supplies (see #4)
  7. Any last minute gift from a service station (see #1)
  8. Cooking a ''romantic" dinner with spam or vienna sausage.
  9. Anything that looks like you won it at a fair.No 10 feet tall Tweety Bird motifs!
  10. Gym Membership/Weight-loss Pills/Anything That Says, "You're Fat
  11. Any jewelry other than an engagement ring in a ring sized box
  12. A chocolate "heart"
  13. And whatever you do, don't break up on Valentine's Day.  Save it for the 15th.

I saw you'd been by West of Mars, so I wanted to drop by and say thanks. I love the list of bad V-day presents. My goodness; sometimes, it's better to do nothing!!

Happy TT!

Jun. 29, 2007 - Worst Valentines Gift

Posted by Guusje


I always wonder who buys those awful "fresh" roses at the Stop n' Go. There is a 24 hour flower store in my neighborhood which I suspect does a pretty good business at 2am when the bars close. Rather sad when you think about it.
