Key.

Please no thank you messages. Instead, what's the most disappointing gift you were ever given, and how did you react? Good answers get whitelisted.

Sorry to appear somewhat blunt but I have 33 wins on SG and I'm a glad with every one off them without exception be it game or DLC! ^ ^

I wasn't talking about Steam Gifts, necessarily. Maybe someone gave you a bad Christmas sweater, or something?

Ah sorry English isn't my native language now I understand you and that would be some Winnie the pooh slippers. :-)

They are maybe good for children but giving those to someone of an advanced age isn't done... ^ ^

all my friends know i LOVE specific type of the milka chocolate that isnt sold in my country , one friend promised me he will get me LOTS of it when he comes visit my country (because i gave him a ticket to a game he really wanted) and while i was imagining the picture of me drowning of 10's of packs of my favourite he got me only 3. i said thanks and kept my frustration in my stomach

Guess it was around my 15th birthday when my grandparents bought me little plastic soldiers i used to play as a kid.Well it was a bit shocking at the age of coming to my senses and starting to chase girls but who can be mad at their grandparents for long :)
Probably they realised that day that im almost grown up and stopped gifting me kid's toys.

Though i would happily play again with those toys if that would mean my grandma and grandpa are still alive.

most dissapointing was a gift that also changed the way i gift some friends.
it was my birthday.. guess it was 16-17th.. doesnt matter. i really was generous when it came to gifting and i dont mean it the expensive way. i really put alot of thougt into my gifts. so on said birthday i got a shitty cup with some sweets in it and a lame quote on it. it was that kind of gift you buy if you dont know someone or if you want to show someone that you dont like him.
i was really dissapointed. if they just took me to the cinemas or .. godknowswhat.. i really couldnt care less.. but that gift was just a bad thing.
since then i just gift really close friends and if i dont find anything good i dont gift at all.
if anyone mind that i wouldnt call him a close friend.

btw.. wont enter the giveaway.. was just interessted in the game because i dont know it and found the description funny :)
gl everyone :)

When I was a kid, I asked for an electric guitar, and got something that looked like a guitar hero guitar, and played those terrible laser sound effects. I was in shock, and I think my parents were as disappointed as I was, although, I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea to get that cheap plastic thing with buttons.

I was probably like 8 years old. It was my birthday and we were opening my gifts in the kitchen. I'm a really clumsy person, even back then. All I open one gift and there's 2 fish in it. I think they're called beta fish, and they came in cups from Walmart then. I got really excited because I loved fish and I pick one of the cups up to show everyone. I then proceed to drop the cup on the floor and it seemed like a really high distance. The fish slid across the floor and I just cried because I was a murderer on my birthday.

My wife once bought me a present of a days car rallying. Whilst I enjoy motor track racing I had absolutely no interest in rallying. Sadly the company who supplied them refused to swap them for track racing (despite them handling track racing as well) nor would they allow anyone but the person named to take up the day's rallying so they went to waste :(

One day (11th Sep) I won a free cake, and later I noticed that the promotion ended at 10th Sep.

Easily the greatest tragedy to ever occur on that day.

One Christmas when I was young several members of my family gave me clocks. I do not know why they all decided to give me a clock or what they were trying to tell me but I wasn't a happy camper -.-. Didn't make a fuss though, I just said thanks and put them away somewhere.

Every christmas for ever and ever my mom has given us 3 kids a package of socks and underwear. As kids, there was always a little disappointment opening up this package, but it has kind of been a running joke, and now that we are grown, we all kind of look forward to new underwear and socks every year!

On my 19th birthday my sister decided to "gift" me a one room "apartment" that's already signed to be rented for 2 years whilst she only payed the first month of it.

For me... an alarm clock that wouldn't wake up me and my wife. It would wake up the whole building. It's been left at my childhood home, unused so far AFAIK. Maybe it will be taken and used by us in the future but not now.

A very ugly shirt. Pokerface, concentration to make every trace of disappointment disappear, "Thank you", smile. I think I did a pretty good job :)

I don't remember I received a disappointing REAL gift till now. All people around me are all very kind. Maybe I just can't remember anything bad when I was a kid.
But in steamgift, I accidentally join a non game giveaway, and won that. It was a documentary movie, and I still regret that I spent my point for that. I watched it for 2 minutes and stopped because I saw a girl in NSFW state (you know what I mean).

And thanks for the chance, looks like it will be a nice game.

To be honest? Nothing. Because it's the intent that matters. Not the actual gift.

And, thank you, even though I'm not joining this giveaway! :)

A bunch of 49ers crap when I was 11. I didn't even remotely like football.

A hamster. Nothing like giving a small child a gift that requires food, water, cleaning responsibilities in return for biting pooping, and squealing. Over the 2 years that thing lived, I built up a sense of loathing that no child should experience.
