Absolutely nothing! So my best friend tells me she got me the first half of my present and the second half is coming. I'm like don't worry about it..just tell me your crush @ work...she was very secretive and we used to work together. Anyways, she is late getting my present so tells me she'll give it to me a month after my actual birthday. A month comes and goes nothing. Like 6 months later I casually drop hints as to if she ever did bother getting me anything. She's like yeah, I have it at home..remind me to bring it. She literally has been to my house 20 times since then and nothing. I've decided to let it go.
The worst part is I went ALL OUT for her last birthday. Went to like 6 different stores...took forever to get everything perfect. I didn't expect anything like that but a BIG FAT LIE saying she got me something wasn't what I wanted...I'd rather just get nothing.
Needless to say (not because of this but other shit) we aren't that close anymore.

Grandmas seem to be SO awesome at giving the perfect gifts... I think I was 13 or 14, and one G-ma got me some Swamp Thing action figure... I was so exstatic!!!
Another year, my other G-ma got me a fingernail clipper set, and that was it. It doesn't matter how old you are, fingernail clipper sets ARE NOT gift items.

I got a book from my grandma on the career of Eric Clapton. Not only do I hate that fucking idiot the last thing I want is a damn book on him especially that I don't read books unless it has something to do with Reason or Mastering in general. Few years after that she gave me the ugliest polo sweater you could imagine, I think it was meant for a grandpa but sorry, I'm not THAT old yet.

When I was about 12 or so I'd say, my older brother bought me one of the stubby little NASH skateboards. At the time NASH was the subject of jokes and was considered the lamest skateboard to own. So not only did my brother buy me a NASH, but it was a stubby short one made for a midget. I remember when I ripped open the package I couldn't hold my anger in and I freaked out on my bro. He was taken back and completely surprised as he had no idea. I felt really bad about it because I know I hurt his feelings.
