[QUOTE="buddy, post: 492689, member: 12886"] I think I told this before but maybe not here...sorry if I did... My worst gift actually became my favorite gift. I worked with a client in an apt. training program when in grad school. He was a great guy. SUPER aggressive and childish and you could just picture him (except for his man sized body) as a 7 yr old boy. We got along great and he never had a blow up with me. IF he was agitated, we just could talk so easily. I really cared about him. For Christmas he handed me a Delux Check box wrapped in tin foil. Inside were two mismatched salt and pepper shakers from Goodwill. The caps were totally rusted out inside. Completely unusable. But there were at least 15 staff there, my cousin was the director. Her now hubby worked with me and often thought I was too soft and girly to be safe with him....but I never had an issue and he had several. (we are good friends now) No one else got a gift. He had no money as most of them dont because they are so limited in what they can have plus work in sheltered employment with very very low pay. but he took time to shop for me, wrap it up etc. So, true...it was an awful gift in terms of what it was, but in terms of what it meant???? I still have them. [/QUOTE]
