I hate getting books for Christmas in general because I’m such a mood reader, and I’ve plastered a fake smile on my face many a time and repeated internally ‘Its the thought that counts.’ as I unwrap a book I will not read.
But the worst one by far, given to me by my own Mother , who I know loves me, when I was fourteen years old! was >!Men are from Mars Women are from Venus.!< I am sitting there horrified thinking what is she trying to tell me? As my sisters are flat on the floor laughing to the point of puking. We eventually came to the conclusion she just saw an attractive cover on a bestseller table and grabbed it. Love to know your terrible gift stories.
Not me, but my friend’s terrible father bought her a book about STD’s and a book about how to be a Proper Lady one year when she was like 10. Gag.
My BIL bought my niece a Bill O’Reilly book when she was about twelve. She’s now 31 and a raging liberal, lol.
You’re having me flash back to the Glenn Beck book someone got me as a kid. Same outcome lol.
You mean the GOP is turning our kids into left-wing radicals? They should ban their own fucking books./s
I was not gifted it but told I could read his copy of Sarah Palin’s book. I opened it, read a couple random trash pages, and declined.
How many brain cells did you lose during that time?
I could literally feel my neurons cry out in agony and had to slam the book shut and throw it across the room.
Could you see Russia?

Who’s Bill O’Reilly?
Don’t ask, he appears when you say his name!
You have to say it three times. Shhh…nobody say it again.
Jesus fucking tap dancing Christ in the hell is wrong with this “father” …!?
THINGS I ASK MYSELF EVERY TIME HE COMES UP
Makes sense. He likely wants grandkids, and knows that he’s more likely to get them if his daughter is a proper lady.
Not this absent divorcee of a father with several daughters by different women.
And regardless, it was a super inappropriate gift for her age.
Ugh, yes, I got an etiquette book when I was 16, already too polite a teenager, while my three brothers burped and farted and cursed their way to adulthood
I always get suspicious when people describe themselves as polite.
Girl what
Ok
