For my 21st, I didn't get a party. I had to attend a funeral, then a concert for my twin. She had a far better 21st, that's for sure. She got drinks with friends afterwards. While I appreciate the gifts I recieved, I felt robbed of a true milestone experience.
@@midnightgamer-21 It wasn't the worst thing ever. It just hurt, but I'm past it now. I am at a point in life where I have made up for lost time by serving at bigger, more fun events in my field and helping set up birthday parties for my coworkers.
I had a similar experience, my 20th I attended a funeral and wake, went for a meal with my partner and my knees gave out, turns out he'd planned to propose on a pretty bridge near the restaurant after the meal but I couldn't even stand by myself so we went home and he proposed in our bedroom instead
Worst gift: For my 16th birthday, I got a skinny, sickly, one-leafed plant in a 4" pot. I'm going to be 62 in a few days, and I still have that f*cking thing. Phil. Phil the Philodendron. He's HUGE now. Seriously.
Worst birthday gift. Every year after turning 13, I got make-up, perfumes, nail polishes, and bath oils/salts/ bombs that I was never going to use and even though I made it EXPLICITLY CLEAR to the people giving them to me that I was never going to use them, I still received them... EVERY FREAKING YEAR. Also, my family doesn't do the whole put the receipt with the gift so the person can exchange it if they don't like/ want it thing, so I just gave them to my sister and what she didn't want was handed out in the locker room at school.
For my 18th birthday and graduation, my dad and his wife got me a leather wallet. I was vegetarian at the time (now vegan) and was staunchly against leather for anything other than clothes. When I had an incredibly disappointed face after opening the gift, my stepmom went off about how high quality and expensive it was and I should show some appreciation.
return that thing and get the money back After that you can Give them their money back and say "Here you have it,Now i no Obligation to show Appreciation right?"
Yikes, your stepmom got you that gift to make herself look good. That's the only reason she'd throw a fit about it being expensive and you "not being grateful enough." Healthy people would just tell you they genuinely didn't know you wouldn't like it and have you exchange it for something you'd get use out of.
@@charliewright6273 My stepmom has always struggled with understanding other people's points of view. Anything that's different from her is "wrong". I'm incredibly introverted, like my dad. She "fixed" him by forcing him into social situations and when I lived with them she was insanely frustrated with me for not embracing her attempts to "fix" me too. She would have loved that wallet as a gift. So my inability to appreciate it was maddening for her.
Worst birthday gift: Happened a few years but ex-wife would tell me every year my birthday gift was 'in the mail' and would only run out and buy something or regift me something when someone asked her what she got me for my birthday.
Worst Birthday Present: Context, I'm an artist who likes a lot of the stuff my brother does. My brother looks like me (not twins; just a year apart). Important for later. My brother, my mother (who was paying for the lunch) and me went to a restaurant. My brother handed me: scented markers, a k'nex Mario Kart toy (which you could see the clearance sticker removed) and a Deadpool poster. My brother knows I love video games. I would have been happy with a gift card or even a discounted video game. Or literally anything else that looked like he thought about the gift. Later that day, I stop into the nearby Walmart. The staff recognized me as my brother and asked me if *he* liked his gifts. He being me. I'm like, I'm Myles. My brother literally bought everything before the lunch. And I'm going to be honest; I don't think my brother thought too hard about the gifts. They offered me to exchange them for a gift card for the store. I got myself a discounted video game. Dude, next time. Just get me a gift card lol
@@Faptastique I wrote "careless", because he just bought something before the lunch with not much thinking. Also, it is not a good thing when someone thinks you are "your brother", because you look identical, and ask you something about your brother did/bought for you when you wasn't there. Right? So, presents... Well, trough the years I lost my inspiration to make presents (edit and print a picture for present), so, it slowly become normal I give nothing at birthdays / Christmases / other occasions. (Also, everyone looks totally different in my family.)
I have an adult friend who's poor and living with his parents. A few years ago I sent him money after looking up the cost of an air mattress. Since his mother is a drug addict/alcoholic I knew where all the family's funds were going. He let me know that was the best gift he received that year. So, secondhand experience, I understand how important it can be to someone to get their own bed.
for my sister's birthday she was told that we didnt have the money to get her presents, later in the same month my dad blew $200 something on a tool set
Worst birthday: this year, when the virus was starting to get over, I had my 13th birthday. First year with a “teen” in it. It’s important. Because nobody in my town got the virus until a few months later, I had to hold it off. All I got was a sketchbook and some pens that lasted me two weeks. In the end, a few months later, I did end up getting something better. My birthday is the only time of the year I’m allowed to have friends over, and that was the part I was sad about missing.
"For those who grew up poor, what did you consider a luxury" titled more accurately: "People with parents that were not financially stable enough to have a kid, but had one anyway, what did you miss out on in childhood"
I got a disney princess colouring book, along with pink shirts and skirts and stuff. I was 16 years old and I hated anything pink or disney. I have never enjoyed any of that stuff. My stepmom's reasoning, girl's need to love princesses so she'd teach me to like them. She knew I wouldn't like it and the shirts and stuff got me bullied until I moved schools.
For my 10th birthday, my cousin gave me a pop-up book of how the male's body works... She said she saw it and went "Oh, she liked science! This should be nice!" It was not.
My wors Birthday gift(s): For context, I'm Non-binary and pretty masculine expressing most of the time. I told my partner's Mom I don't do girlie stuff. And she got me a pink case filled with makeup I'll never use. I also told her I needed new underwear and would prefer boxers as panties are uncomfortable. She remarks, "I already have 1 son I don't need another." as if what I wear changes my gender magically. Instead, she gets me lady's briefs.
Oh god, im so sorry your mom is behaving like that. Hopefully you can sell the makeup and when you have a source of income you can buy the underwear you like :)
appearently the boss of the company I work for has a history of *accidentally* fireing people on their birthdays, it has happened at least 3 times that he shows up on someones birthday and everyone assumes he's there to wish them a happy birthday but then he just fires them, *3 times* , I would have started checking peoples birthdays after the first time it happened smh
6th birthday - first birthday in a new town and spent at our grandfathers funeral. We had a ‘showing’ (whatever it’s called) beforehand and I’m still scarred from it 20 years later. I am a twin, and we both only like our birthday because it’s the others birthday (we don’t like it for ourselves) and recent tipsy birthday discussion we’ve kinda found it stems from the 6th birthday experience. We did end up having a 6th party but the day itself was the funeral.
My 21st birthday (10 years ago). I just wanted to stay home and make creative shots. My mom and best friend decided they would take me to a Drag Queen Review (my friend was really into drag queens and I didn't know anything about the culture. Like I said, this was 10 years ago) got my breast squeezed (unwanted) by the main act during her skit and everyone was laughing like it was the funniest shit they've seen and I just wanted to disappear into nothingness. Felt really violated and even my mom was laughing.
Nothing, my parents got me nothing but spoiled my older brother rotten. And also my 10th birthday i got nothing from my friends and they just celebrated my birthday without me.. kinda hated it because my mother made it happen even though my friends disagreed but my mom convinced them
Big same on chickpeas. Lots of allergies so I get most of my protein from those bad boys. Worst bday present- I was expected to move out by my 18th bday bc I expressed concern for how much my parents were drinking, it wasn't taken well. (altho kind of a good gift too to gtfo of there)
I wasn't allowed lunchables as a kid either, which is probably a good thing because those things are LOADED with sodium! They're fine for adults but there should not be that much salt in something advertised toward children
My grandmother used to knit mittens for us when we were kids. I loved my Grammy, but they weren't good mittens. They were often the wrong size, the kind of yarn she used could soak up water and get very cold and heavy, and there was always something a bit off with the weave around the base of the thumbs that let snow get in.
11:25 I would establish to myself that we are the same person using my secret code. I have a specific code that I made when I was 5 so that if I ever time travel or get cloned and end up meeting myself I can confirm my identity. If I traveled back to when I was 7, for example, as long as I told my younger self the secret code she will trust me. Anyway, after confirming my identity with my clone, we would team up to escape the situation, or would agree on one of us to die.
The powerbank that was originally meant for my older brother (he got lego's for his bday, even tho the powerbank was already bought) it was like 120€ i think the best part about this, i asked for money (wouldve been happy about 50€) and i already have a powerbank... they also said that i "didnt wish for anything" and they had it "left over, because [my] brother got the legos instead"... that hurt
For my 21st, my mom forgot to give me my card so I didn't really get anything. I did get to go out to dinner with my family at a "nicer" restaurant that I don't even like, and they didn't even let me order a drink 🤣🤣 A couple months later, a found the birthday card in a bag of stuff from her car and it wasn't even signed or anything. Then a couple months after that, one of my friends that was staying with us and worked with me was turning 21. She was getting to go to Vegas with her family (which alone made me feel like sh!t because that's an awesome present and I didn't even expect that much), but my mom made a comment about how we should go to our local casino to celebrate one night. Like ??? you'll do that for a kid who's not even your own that IS ALREADY getting an awesome gift but will not even give your own child a card??
It was an xmas gift but I had to share. My dad got me a drone I didn't ask for and it was like one of the $30 ones at Walmart. I had asked for an RC helicopter and a camera for photograohy, so he figured he'd "just combine both presents." Then HE immediately took it outside to play with. My other presents was Birthday cake flavored gum, my bday that year wasn't celebrated either. My bday is December 30th so we just rarely celebrate it.
I thought the robins came out at winter thing, too. This made me Google it, apparently it's because postal staff were nicknamed "robins", so it became a common motif on Christmas cards. Other theories say it could be a link to Christianity.
My family forgetting I had a birthday. My 1st one was when I turned 16, and at least every other year from then on. It wouldn't be so bad except they never forgot either of my siblings birthdays and they always made a big deal of them. Always made me feel unimportant and not part of the family. But now I have my own family and I don't associate with any of them any more. Their loss.
For the growing up poor one I deeply resonate with the one about no heat in the winter and not being able to fix appliances ex. My air-conditioner gave out yesterday and we are to broke to afford to get a new one or get it repaired and we don't have heating other than small heaters for individual rooms for reference on why the air con is so bad I live in Oklahoma it's not even summer yet it can get up to 102 degrees if not higher in the summer here and we're already in the 90s
4:30 Short term: Global warming and nuclear war. Long term: Natural resource depletion. Namely oil, helium, and the rare minerals used for computer parts. (Plus whatever else that's a rare resource, but we spend it like it's something common)
5:06 my mother use to teach english to the kids of the guy who owned the only paint company in japan who sold the type of paint the US government used. He also owned several hotels. Dude didnt understand the word budget in any language. He sent his eldest to college in the US and bought him a brand new truck (top line, all the works.. Forget what type though) then just left it unattended in america when his son finished school.
For my 13th birthday, by brother decided to duck tape a small box then put it into a slightly bigger box then duck tape that one and so on and so on. After 30 minutes of cutting through duck tape I find what’s inside the small box. A potato. Thanks big bro Ps- he gave me some cash afterwards for my struggle
Not the worst present per se, but deffo a case of not listening was my last present from my mum. I told her a couple of months earlier that I was going to buy some implant-grade titanium earrings cause even after being healed for years my ear lobes occasionally got irritated by sterling silver, and I also wanted to lightly stretch from 18g to 14g to match future piercings. She then got me three pairs of sterling silver 18g earrings.
Worst birthday gift I got I was turning 14 and instead of any happy birthdays from anybody in my family this include my mother my father my brother my sister I was told instead that my mom and dad were getting a divorce
Worst birthday: (Edit To Add: which is really because we were poor, so siding if things I thought were luxurious) 9 years old. My parents weren't going to be throwing me birthday parties with friends anymore and if wanted parties I would have to plan them myself... ETA: So birthday parties were a luxury not to be afforded...
Probably the worst birthday gift I ever got was a talking Winnie the Pooh plushie. I was 12. It was from that one neighbor that we'd last seen like 10 years ago but was apparently an old family friend. I think he just kind of assumed I'd be the same age as when he left lmao.
Worst gift I ever got: My cheapskate Uncle got my name in the Christmas gift exchange and I ended up with a bunch of cheap crap he probably got for free. I don't remember most of it, but the gift that most clearly displayed his flagrant disregard for me was the pack of 100 sh*tty pink razors. Not technically my birthday but I still hold a grudge about it. My primary love language is gift giving. Giving me a thoughtful gift shows you care. Similarly, giving something low effort and careless like this, something that feels more like a chore, makes me feel unloved.
Haha, I got one. For my 11th birthday I got a phone (which I've already used, and kept) and my other gift was my fucking birthday party! Guess who gave those gifts to me; it was my mother and step dad. That birthday was bullshit
13:57 while it's a magical pet that rabbit is seriously ill, if a rabbit has a sniffly nose they are likely sick with something very very bad, also hay is a rabbits main diet
For my 19th birthday, I got to go to a party my grandpa threw for his daughter that he reconnected with. No presents. Just the honor of being at the party that wasn’t for me on my birthday
0:01 [What's the worst birthday gift you've ever had?] Nothing. I got nothing for my birthday from my own parent when I was like 12 years old back then lol. NOTHING AT ALL. I am still salty bout it lmao
2:25 I considered my shitty old computer a luxury, it was a 12-year-old shitbox, I used the hell out of that thing until I got my new computer about a week or 2 ago
13:30 I would take the owl and every fact it says I will write it down and remember it so if someone asks about a subject relating to the fact I can pull that out of my ass out of nowhere
00:00 Well, not the worst birthday present, but once I got "hang-up storage things with leather hanger" from IKEA ‒ five of them. I was told I need to hang them up and pack them full with my stuff. I tried to hide the fact I wasn't happy about it ‒ basically I got a reason (as a present) to make use of those new storage things, even if I not want to do it and/or not want them. "Thanks", Mom. 😐(If I ever got anything worse than this, I can't remember it.) 3:32 I saw that movie on TV, and my opinion is, the movie is actually not that bad. When the characters got out of the water and they appearance switched to 3D animated to fit the "real world", that's a bit strange, but never mind. ☺ 06:14 When humanity finally finds an Earth-like planet and starting colonize it. I don't think I will live that long.
My worst was Fnaf off brand toys. I specifically said FUNKO toys. It was those garbage weird colored ones with lights in the chests. I was so upset I threw them out. I feel really bad for throwing them out. Edit: it was actually Christmas whoops
In my religion we have a week or so of prayers and festivities, and this week falls really close to my birthday every year even though it’s a lunar calendar for that week. The week before however, we honor family members who have passed. On my 9th bday, it was the day to honor my grandpa. I got a red pen from my brother with a bear on it that broke in like 5 minutes, and we didn’t really celebrate. Worst of all we were all super sad that day. I think we ended up doing something although o can’t remember what, but yeah 9 year old me wasn’t too happy about everything
11th birthday my grandfather got me an backstreet boys sing-along toy phone. I was so salty but still said thank you because my mom would have whooped my butt if I made a scene.
I get everyone's favorite I don't care gift for ages, dime store soap. This isn't because I smell because that's when they give you soap that didn't cost peanuts and that actually does clean you and doesn't smell worse than you do.
As someone named Trisha who also grew up poor 2:33 made me unreasonably scared that I had done this to someone 💀😂 I know I haven't, but damn no one brings up my name
3:00 Even though my family was wealthy I wasn't the richest but not the poorest So sometimes we would run low on money because we had a small plumbing business my dad was a plumber so never had to get a plumber or pay for it
It was a Christmas gift but still, same energy. My Aunt asked me 'what do you want' I said 'something to do with art, like canvases', she shared that info with everyone. apparently they took it too seriously and got me *only* canvases,which yeah sure it's not the best but still, but to add insult to injury, they individually wrapped every. Single. One. Like I would open one gift and be like 'oh nice, I needed more of these' open the next 'oh haha nice' the next gift 'how many are there, yknow what, I go through tons then get to the last, it's big and I get excited, lo and behold a canvas. I sat in the corner with my canvases watching my cousins play with their cool new toys. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I got anything really and still had fun but still, stung a little.
For my 21st, I didn't get a party. I had to attend a funeral, then a concert for my twin. She had a far better 21st, that's for sure. She got drinks with friends afterwards. While I appreciate the gifts I recieved, I felt robbed of a true milestone experience.
I’m so sorry that happened to you, that sounds god awful
@@midnightgamer-21 It wasn't the worst thing ever. It just hurt, but I'm past it now. I am at a point in life where I have made up for lost time by serving at bigger, more fun events in my field and helping set up birthday parties for my coworkers.

I had a similar experience, my 20th I attended a funeral and wake, went for a meal with my partner and my knees gave out, turns out he'd planned to propose on a pretty bridge near the restaurant after the meal but I couldn't even stand by myself so we went home and he proposed in our bedroom instead

Worst gift: For my 16th birthday, I got a skinny, sickly, one-leafed plant in a 4" pot. I'm going to be 62 in a few days, and I still have that f*cking thing. Phil. Phil the Philodendron. He's HUGE now. Seriously.
Tell Phil I said "hi" lol

On my 60th birthday my son gave me a trophy cup that said YOU MADE IT because I was still alive when I was expected to die from heart failure 🤣

The powerbank that was originally meant for my older brother (he got lego's for his bday, even tho the powerbank was already bought)
it was like 120€ i think
the best part about this, i asked for money (wouldve been happy about 50€) and i already have a powerbank...
they also said that i "didnt wish for anything" and they had it "left over, because [my] brother got the legos instead"... that hurt
For my 21st, my mom forgot to give me my card so I didn't really get anything. I did get to go out to dinner with my family at a "nicer" restaurant that I don't even like, and they didn't even let me order a drink 🤣🤣
A couple months later, a found the birthday card in a bag of stuff from her car and it wasn't even signed or anything.
Then a couple months after that, one of my friends that was staying with us and worked with me was turning 21. She was getting to go to Vegas with her family (which alone made me feel like sh!t because that's an awesome present and I didn't even expect that much), but my mom made a comment about how we should go to our local casino to celebrate one night. Like ??? you'll do that for a kid who's not even your own that IS ALREADY getting an awesome gift but will not even give your own child a card??
Do any of you guys know the feeling of passing a exam without studying or doing homework?
If you do then you dropped something champ 🏅
It was an xmas gift but I had to share. My dad got me a drone I didn't ask for and it was like one of the $30 ones at Walmart. I had asked for an RC helicopter and a camera for photograohy, so he figured he'd "just combine both presents." Then HE immediately took it outside to play with. My other presents was Birthday cake flavored gum, my bday that year wasn't celebrated either. My bday is December 30th so we just rarely celebrate it.
@3:23 Titanic, Unbreakable, The Big Lebowski, All MCU movies after the first Iron Man, same goes for DC movies After Batman and Batman Returns.
I thought the robins came out at winter thing, too. This made me Google it, apparently it's because postal staff were nicknamed "robins", so it became a common motif on Christmas cards. Other theories say it could be a link to Christianity.
11:54
if you're dumb, how do you *Outsmart* yourself?
I dont know exactly which birthday this was, but it was when i was pretty young (like 7 or 8?). I got about 8 chess sets that day, if not more.
magical pet; a snail whose slime can be all kinds of syrups and sauces that are exact copies of the manufactured ones
My family forgetting I had a birthday. My 1st one was when I turned 16, and at least every other year from then on. It wouldn't be so bad except they never forgot either of my siblings birthdays and they always made a big deal of them. Always made me feel unimportant and not part of the family. But now I have my own family and I don't associate with any of them any more. Their loss.
how sad, the dog was trying to protect his/her human RIP good boy/girl
For the growing up poor one I deeply resonate with the one about no heat in the winter and not being able to fix appliances ex. My air-conditioner gave out yesterday and we are to broke to afford to get a new one or get it repaired and we don't have heating other than small heaters for individual rooms for reference on why the air con is so bad I live in Oklahoma it's not even summer yet it can get up to 102 degrees if not higher in the summer here and we're already in the 90s
4:30 Short term: Global warming and nuclear war. Long term: Natural resource depletion. Namely oil, helium, and the rare minerals used for computer parts. (Plus whatever else that's a rare resource, but we spend it like it's something common)
5:06 my mother use to teach english to the kids of the guy who owned the only paint company in japan who sold the type of paint the US government used. He also owned several hotels. Dude didnt understand the word budget in any language. He sent his eldest to college in the US and bought him a brand new truck (top line, all the works.. Forget what type though) then just left it unattended in america when his son finished school.
For my 13th birthday, by brother decided to duck tape a small box then put it into a slightly bigger box then duck tape that one and so on and so on. After 30 minutes of cutting through duck tape I find what’s inside the small box. A potato. Thanks big bro
Ps- he gave me some cash afterwards for my struggle
Not the worst present per se, but deffo a case of not listening was my last present from my mum. I told her a couple of months earlier that I was going to buy some implant-grade titanium earrings cause even after being healed for years my ear lobes occasionally got irritated by sterling silver, and I also wanted to lightly stretch from 18g to 14g to match future piercings. She then got me three pairs of sterling silver 18g earrings.
Worst birthday gift I got I was turning 14 and instead of any happy birthdays from anybody in my family this include my mother my father my brother my sister I was told instead that my mom and dad were getting a divorce
I got...older!
11:24
“Did you take your medication today?” *stabs*
You guy's got to celebrate and get a gift on your birthday?! How come I've never had that on my 18 year's of my life!
The crab people aren’t a danger to humanity but they are a danger to sardines
bruh i actaully wanted a lint roller at 12
12:06 thats what I though but with french fries/chips
nothing- i have never gotten a birthday gift... ever...
Vice grip pliers at that much. Is a lot of scrap.
11:29 I don't outsmart myself, I just offer hugs
2:25 ketchup and cheese whiz was my poor kid diet back then
Worst birthday: (Edit To Add: which is really because we were poor, so siding if things I thought were luxurious)
9 years old.
My parents weren't going to be throwing me birthday parties with friends anymore and if wanted parties I would have to plan them myself...
ETA: So birthday parties were a luxury not to be afforded...
Probably the worst birthday gift I ever got was a talking Winnie the Pooh plushie. I was 12.
It was from that one neighbor that we'd last seen like 10 years ago but was apparently an old family friend. I think he just kind of assumed I'd be the same age as when he left lmao.
My husband died 4 days after my birthday, 8 days after our wedding. I hate that week now.
Oh no I’m so sorry that’s terrible it’ll get better hun!! All love and blessings from here❤️
i didn't get any birthday gifts, ok FINE all of the birthday gifts only lasted for a week and the broke.
“I think I can honestly say I’ve never eaten a chickpea in my life”

Dude you’re missing out.
For my 10th birthday I got my Grandpa's death. It was also my Grandpa's birthday. Worst year of my life.
for the fight an exact copy, my fighting style is just: punch and kick with no pattern, so It would be kinda like a normal fight
I guess Brandon either has no idea what's in hummus or never had hummus before.
The only reason to time travel backwards is to stop Thomas Midgley Junior.
Worst gift I ever got: My cheapskate Uncle got my name in the Christmas gift exchange and I ended up with a bunch of cheap crap he probably got for free. I don't remember most of it, but the gift that most clearly displayed his flagrant disregard for me was the pack of 100 sh*tty pink razors. Not technically my birthday but I still hold a grudge about it. My primary love language is gift giving. Giving me a thoughtful gift shows you care. Similarly, giving something low effort and careless like this, something that feels more like a chore, makes me feel unloved.
Haha, I got one. For my 11th birthday I got a phone (which I've already used, and kept) and my other gift was my fucking birthday party! Guess who gave those gifts to me; it was my mother and step dad. That birthday was bullshit
13:57 while it's a magical pet that rabbit is seriously ill, if a rabbit has a sniffly nose they are likely sick with something very very bad, also hay is a rabbits main diet
@6:42 insert the word 'certain' after 'see' and it takes on a whole different vibe, quite possible a better one, if you ask me. :)
For my 19th birthday, I got to go to a party my grandpa threw for his daughter that he reconnected with. No presents. Just the honor of being at the party that wasn’t for me on my birthday
the sims 3 has a shake it for me cover on the radio
0:01 [What's the worst birthday gift you've ever had?]
Nothing. I got nothing for my birthday from my own parent when I was like 12 years old back then lol. NOTHING AT ALL. I am still salty bout it lmao
2:25 I considered my shitty old computer a luxury, it was a 12-year-old shitbox, I used the hell out of that thing until I got my new computer about a week or 2 ago
13:30 I would take the owl and every fact it says I will write it down and remember it so if someone asks about a subject relating to the fact I can pull that out of my ass out of nowhere
THE JACK SPARROW ONE GOT ME.. LMAOOOO
Worst birthday present...the gift of life.
Should have invented self recharging cars back when inventing solar panels.
00:00 Well, not the worst birthday present, but once I got "hang-up storage things with leather hanger" from IKEA ‒ five of them. I was told I need to hang them up and pack them full with my stuff. I tried to hide the fact I wasn't happy about it ‒ basically I got a reason (as a present) to make use of those new storage things, even if I not want to do it and/or not want them. "Thanks", Mom. 😐(If I ever got anything worse than this, I can't remember it.)
3:32 I saw that movie on TV, and my opinion is, the movie is actually not that bad. When the characters got out of the water and they appearance switched to 3D animated to fit the "real world", that's a bit strange, but never mind. ☺
06:14 When humanity finally finds an Earth-like planet and starting colonize it. I don't think I will live that long.
My worst was Fnaf off brand toys. I specifically said FUNKO toys. It was those garbage weird colored ones with lights in the chests. I was so upset I threw them out. I feel really bad for throwing them out.
Edit: it was actually Christmas whoops
A book about bible/Greek monsters, Im not really religious! Also I love your work Mason, keep it up!
4:30 humanity.
In my religion we have a week or so of prayers and festivities, and this week falls really close to my birthday every year even though it’s a lunar calendar for that week. The week before however, we honor family members who have passed. On my 9th bday, it was the day to honor my grandpa. I got a red pen from my brother with a bear on it that broke in like 5 minutes, and we didn’t really celebrate. Worst of all we were all super sad that day. I think we ended up doing something although o can’t remember what, but yeah 9 year old me wasn’t too happy about everything
11th birthday my grandfather got me an backstreet boys sing-along toy phone. I was so salty but still said thank you because my mom would have whooped my butt if I made a scene.
I get everyone's favorite I don't care gift for ages, dime store soap. This isn't because I smell because that's when they give you soap that didn't cost peanuts and that actually does clean you and doesn't smell worse than you do.
As someone named Trisha who also grew up poor 2:33 made me unreasonably scared that I had done this to someone 💀😂 I know I haven't, but damn no one brings up my name
3:00
Even though my family was wealthy I wasn't the richest but not the poorest
So sometimes we would run low on money because we had a small plumbing business my dad was a plumber so never had to get a plumber or pay for it
The one thing I’d love to see but won’t be alive for…
IDK, probably the 100th anniversary of the Power Rangers lol
13:49 - It followed me home; can I keep it?
It was a Christmas gift but still, same energy. My Aunt asked me 'what do you want' I said 'something to do with art, like canvases', she shared that info with everyone. apparently they took it too seriously and got me *only* canvases,which yeah sure it's not the best but still, but to add insult to injury, they individually wrapped every. Single. One. Like I would open one gift and be like 'oh nice, I needed more of these' open the next 'oh haha nice' the next gift 'how many are there, yknow what, I go through tons then get to the last, it's big and I get excited, lo and behold a canvas. I sat in the corner with my canvases watching my cousins play with their cool new toys. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I got anything really and still had fun but still, stung a little.
I've never had a birthday party and barely get any gifts lol
On my 8th birthday, a friend gave me a pair of underwear?? It wasn’t even a joke she was dead serious
11:25 I hold up my dog
My mom wins for worst birthday present, one year my dad gave her a garbage bag of used clothes 5 sizes too big.
Pizza ones are always making me jealous when others eat them.
