Worst Holiday Gift you've ever received...

[Louie]

I too had in-law problems. My ex-wife's mother was not too fond of me. Actually, she didn't like anything about me, including how I dressed. Most of all she hated, I mean hated, a pair of surfing shorts I had. They were colorful but not too loud, mostly shades of red and yellow. Well, on my ex's and my second Christmas together, I got a present just from her mother. It was a pair of short she sewed as a joke just for me. The most awful gaudy floral pattern you have ever seen. No tailoring, a quick stitch up the sides and crotch. With the draw string, looked like a bag. She laughed and laughed at my expense in front of the whole family. That was the last time she ever laughed in my presence. From then on, every time they would come to visit (they were from NY, we were in CO), I would wear those shorts. Wearing them at the Christmas dinner table with my J Geils Love Stinks t-shirt would send her into orbit. It would also shut her up for the entire meal. Revenge is best served with a big 'Kiss my ass'.

Does that beat a dusty Tupperware bowl?

Edit: Found them:

LOL!  OK, you beat the Tupperware bowl, and maybe the harp music CD.  But not the dead man's tie 

[Louie]

Yeah, You got me on the tie. That's just creepy. Sleep with one eye open stuff.

Jay hopefully you will play that harp CD out in the shop next time JC and I visit.. It would be nice background music to that FE screaming in the dyno cell

Well, a gift I gave another- GF's sister (there are four girls total, only one is defective) I nicknamed Grumpy Cat- thinks she's hot stuff  injected boobs etc, but as soon as she opens her mouth, NO WAY. So for Christmas I got her the Grumpy Cat book. Their mom (90) saw it an laughed her butt off, says hey that's you!!! and stole the book and took it home. So Grumpy bitched and snarked for a few days, so she got a visit from my stuffed skunk, got a pretty good holler and dammit out of that. Then I hung a rubber tarantula in her shower curtain so it would pop out on entry- REALLY got some hollerin' on that one- and bitchandbitchandbitch about everything. GF helped out by moving all the laser-aligned stuff in the pantry, and the OCD alarm went off LOUDLY. Coupe de grace, she got a visit from the Toilet Monster (search)- you've heard of a blood-curdling scream, well, I've heard it now- even ran out of breath and gurgled at the end. Now she doesn't speak to me, which is my Christmas present to myself lol...
