While all gifts are synonymous with a nice gesture and are meant to uplift our souls, not always do they do that. Sometimes, the very opposite happens.

Remember the last time you received a gift you didn’t want or need, or something that was plain insulting? After all, we are just almost a month after all the winter festivities, meaning we have probably one or two gifted things we’d be much better off without.

So when the Twitter page UberFacts asked people “What's the most messed up gift you've ever received?”, it hit way too close to home for many. The stories that make you laugh, cry and feel bad for these gift receivers (and givers, too!) started rolling and we wrapped up some of the most eyebrow-raising below.

    Expelled. Yeeted. Removed. That is something out of her control and she should not be humiliated for it.

    When she opened the gift, she should have said with a smile "I love hand-me-downs! We'll keep this somewhere safe, so we can show it to our grandkids one day and tell them all about you; how thoughtful!" 😃

    To be honest, Santa is not a Christian thing either. Anyway, it's a silly birthday present, especially for a person who does not celebrate Christmas. Perhaps the person didn't try to be offensive. A friend of mine (50) recently "discovered" (I told her) that Jewish people don't celebrate Christmas. Her answer? "...but EVERYBODY celebrates Christmas!"

    I've always found the conversion tactics very weird. In school I learned the three C's when the Spanish were taking over my state. Colonize, Convert, and Control. They wanted everyone to be Christian, weirdly enough.

    I've had those before. It is what it is. I hope that things improved for your family. I do think that your parents may have wished they could do more for you and at the time, were doing the best they could do.
