    Haven't really gotten anything weird as a gift before. The worst gifts would have to be things I don't ask for. People have previously and often still do ask me what I want for a birthday or Christmas and I say nothing, they don't have to get me anything.

    Then they just get me random things because they feel compelled to give me gifts for some reason and its things I neither want nor need...

    Not a gift for me, but my uncle once got my father thousands-of-years-old fossilized turtle poop, mounted on a stand with a plaque and everything.

    My family can be cheap skates, giving me Christmas themed Elf house slippers (Sister) or a novelty basketball toss to a hoop thing while sitting at the toilet (Niece) and such... <_<;

    I was a young lad at the time, and it was an endless source of amusement for me. My uncle was a strange, strange dude in all the best ways.

    My grandma gave me a planting kit one time for Christmas. I found that rather strange.

    I once got nude pics from a (female) friend on my birthday. Apparently it was her opening move after years of me not asking her out. Which I had never considered, because.....we were good friends.

    It was verrrrrrrrry weird.

    A "fancy" bar of soap when I was 12. I really wish I was kidding, but I'm not.

    Most disappointing gift ever for me was an alarm clock from my mom for my birthday, and that was the present, not one of them. I was a kid, like 8 or so. I was hyped for the present and was guessing what it was. I was told it took batteries, was military themed. I thought it was going to be a remote control tank or something. It was a plastic soldier with a horn who played the military wake up song, you know the one. I was incredibly pissed and disappointed, and made it known. It was incredibly loud and annoying, if I recall it "accidently" broke pretty quick. Socks would have been a better gift.

    Leg lamp from "A Christmas Story!" I'd never seen the movie at that point, so it was just this giant tacky leg lamp.

    Had an ex-gf that gave me a cheap watch and a sweater (brown, at that) that was too small for Christmas, then within two days she asked for them back so she could return them to Macy's where she worked because she was low on cash.

    I learned some things about her after the fact that made me realize she was trash, but that was the weirdest gift I've ever received.

    I was given a subscription to the pool, although my friends know perfectly well that I hate pools

    My uncle gave me a card saying he will invest $100 into the Humana fund for me. He gave one to my brother too. My brother and I still make jokes about it.

    Was Humana a stripper or something?
