well at least he didn't give you coal like my dad did.

Wait, was it at least a nice sock or one of those cheap white tube socks? @lisa5 at least your dad had the decency to give you coal - at least that's useful for burning, lol. I once got a half-eaten candy bar from my cousin that was clearly already his snack, so trust me, it could always be worse. Honestly, my uncle gave me a single sock one year too and I wore it for like three days straight just to prove a point about being grateful or whatever. These family gift fails really make you question if they even remember you exist sometimes lol.

Three days straight for a single sock is dedication I can respect, but did you ever find the matching one or just accept your life as a sock loner? These family gift fails make me wonder if we're all just part of some weird social experiment to see how long gratitude can hold up. Honestly, a half-eaten candy bar from your cousin might actually be a step up from the coal since at least you know they thought of you mid-snack.
