Today, I told my boyfriend that I think teddy bears are THE most pointless and careless gift. He shyly gave me my birthday present afterwards. It was a carebear. FML

Same thing different taste

Nice gesture, or something

Today, my boyfriend gave me a teddy bear keyring. I had to explain that although many grown women like cuddly toys, I don't. And even if I did, a filthy, soaking wet bear he found in a puddle on the street is not a nice gesture, despite his suggestion I can just wash it in the machine. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a teddy bear. I thought it was a sweet thing to do, until I saw him open a slit in its back while visiting later in the day and removing a bag of weed. He gave me a teddy bear just so he could smuggle drugs past my parents. FML

Today, my ex-boyfriend surprised me with a gorgeous, giant stuffed tiger as a belated birthday gift. I thought it was a lovely gesture until a friend told me she had thrown it in the dumpster behind our building this morning. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me a voice personalized Build-a-Bear. I thought he was going to propose to me through it, only to press the foot of the bear and hear, "We should break up" instead. FML

Today, while at Six Flags my boyfriend won a huge stuffed animal for me. After a whole day of carrying it around, when he dropped me off he told me that he wants the stuffed animal back. He just didn't want to carry it around all day. FML

Today, rather than get me a birthday present, my boyfriend just got angry that I got gifts from other people. Apparently, it "made him feel guilty." FML

Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I don't mind crappy gifts, but I have to wonder why the hell my boyfriend bought me a home enema kit. FML

Today, my coworker convinced a little girl that teddy bears are actually the bodies of dead baby bears. I work at Build-a-Bear-Workshop, and we were working a 4-year-old's birthday party. FML

#15 are you her bf? at least you know she is not proud of what she did this is why i tell my bf what i want as a gift, and he does the same. it's not that romantic, but there's no mistakes When you saw the gift... I bet you never felt so ashamed in your life and now you sleep with the teddy bear every night :P

Obviously you shouldn't make a big deal about stuff you despise as a gift on the day where you receive lots of gifts. Just in the event that they already bought said despised gift. Hindsight.

Thats not true, teddy bears are thoughtful and theyre cute. Dont be upset because you didnt get a laptop or anything for your birthday, Especially if its from your boyfreind. Really, it was sweet of him to give you something like that. It was wrong to say that. I hope you feel bad for what youve done (no offense) and have since changed your ways. ^_^

People are entitled to their opinion. Just because she doesn't like teddy bears doesn't means she spoiled, it just means she doesn't like teddy bears. She shouldn't have to pretend to like it just because he got it for her, because then he won't know she didn't like it and might continue to get her teddy bears which will then lead to him feeling even worse when he eventually finds out.

That reminds me of this Christmas........ I was making fun of Jared's gallery of jewelry in the car with my boyfriend because I think the commercials suck. And when we got home and exchanged gifts....... he got me a bracelet from Jared's. And now I can honestly say, "He went to Jareds!" Anyways, don't worry about it. Things like that happen.

Different gifts are pointless for different people. If someone got be a jock strap... yeah, for me, that'd be pointless.

I love teddy bears. But my ex bf never got me one, and we were together for a year. He did give me much more thoughtful gifts, but I've always liked stuffed animals, and would have liked one from him. As long as it was a nice one not some of those ugly ones that come out on Valentines day that are so cheep that half of them have crooked eyes.
