Ha - I love those! Dark chocolate covered ones... yummy!

Always have to think of one of my coworkers: we have all been working in a building where coffee was strictly forbidden for religious reasons. Our Project Manager have all of US a small bag of chocolate covered coffee beans and we secretly nibbles away every time our customer left the room. So far so good, until on of my coworkers in a hasty arm movement spilled his bag all across the room which immediately filled the room with a coffee / chocolate smell. We collected all we could find but even month later I would still find them hidden behind desks... we all laughed so ha d about it...

A coworker gave me chocolate covered coffee beans once. OMG, how disgusting!  I love my morning coffee but I don't want to chomp on coffee beans. Just Ewww! I had never heard of such a thing but she told me chocolate covered coffee beans were a thing among gourmets.  Why???

You can have mine, Lol.

I have a friend who works in an ER... and yes, on a regular basis they have adventurous boys and men come in and needing immediate attention for injuring themselves or getting it stuck in bottles...

So glad I never hurt myself trying again o use an electric sander for that purpose (very embarrassed). I should have sanded it off right there and then...

I wouldn't have thought someone would actually do that either. One of his dumb friends probably had done it and told Tyler about it.  What I can't figure out is how he didn't get instant SRS. Doesn't a vacuum make suction with a fan? I would think anything you stick in the suction hole of a vacuum would get shredded.

I've received some lousy gifts in my life. One that takes the cake: and old, worn out, paperback romance book. That's even worse than when my ex gave me 3 pieces of firewood. If I had received both gifts at the same time, I could have used the book to light the wood.

A dirty used book and firewood. Lol. My grandma used to tell us we would get a stocking full of coal if we weren't good kids.  When I was 8 my brother took the stuff out of my stocking and put charcoal in there. I guess he couldn't get any coal. Lol

At least coal burns hotter than books or wood. It has to. People forge iron with coal.

As a child of about 8-9? somewhere around that age. I got a left hand plastic washing glove carefully wrapped in Christmas paper and placed under the tree from my Aunty Marg. I still recall it. I remember my Mum being quite vocal and saying words that I didn't understand, I have banned them from use on the site!

Then again, I remember the present and her. So was it the worse present??

That's unbelievably BAD,  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In top 3 definitely!!!!!!!!

Wait wait - Aunt Marg? Was she related to Aunt Marge (from Harry Potter),  ?!?

I have another:
Once my dad brought some souvenirs to me & my SO.
They were 2 books he had bought from the airport - 2 novels meant for adolescent girls,  !!! And we were adults!!!!!!!!!!!

So, like I said, the copy paper from him was a very thoughtful gift

Dark chocolate covered espresso beans are truly awesome. 

Besides dark chocolate being way more better,  it has the added bonus of my kids not liking it so they don't eat it when I get some.

     When I was a kid, we had a gag gift present each year. We did it like a secret Santa thing by drawing names. We added a caveat that the gift had to be worn somewhere on you all Christmas day where it could be seen. One year someone bought an extra large pair of light pink nylon granny panties for I think my brother. Those panties went from him to someone else the next year. They made the rounds each year until they made it to me. I made a fuss about it, but dutifully wore them sticking out of a pocket or something like that. Secretly, I was happy about having my very own panties, even though they were way too big. They didn't get passed on because I kept them for myself. I was still in elementary school, perhaps 4th grade or so. Yes, I've been at this a long long time and I have known it was wrong from even before that.

Hugs,

A great story!
And happy xmas,  !
You still have them?
Now you can pamper yourself with as many panties as you like  !

Someone left a 'Care Package' at my door last night, which was thoughtful and there were a few okay things in it

Unfortunately it was obviously a 'For Men' pack and also contained 'For Men' toiletries including body wash, shampoo, Barbasol shave cream and an Old Spice deodorant    Lovely

  I just gave away the my Suave shampoo (about 2/3 full) to my nephew so I didn't have to wait to buy nice citrus scented Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner. He could use it and I get to smell good under my wig.

Regift them V.M.

That's funny. We give gag gifts too. For the last 2 years it's been a mummified banana. It's gone back and forth. I think my grandma had it last. I was the one who started it. I found this dead black banana behind our refrigerator.  How it got there I don't know. Most likely it was Tyler. Once when he didn't know I was standing there he had spilled ricecrispies on the floor. Instead of getting the broom or dustbuster he swept them under the stove with his foot. The banana was black and rock hard. No nasty odor either. I almost threw it away but I ended up wrapping it up for my brother's birthday. It been given back and forth for Christmas and birthdays.

I got a gift card to Block Buster video guess it is the thought that counts

Is this like one of those things where someone gives their 16 year old something car related when they don't have a car, the 16 year old is confused then told to look outside and there is a shiny new car, except in place of a car someone got you a time machine?

My aunt gave me men's shower set, though she knowed that I wanted to be a girl.
