One thing you should do OP is ALWAYS make the gift-giver feel like you're happy about their gift, especially if it's your girlfriend.

This is true, but you know damn well that if HE got HER some kind of weight-loss product or something similar, she would lose her shit. Especially the "as seen on TV" kind.

She probably thought she was being really thoughtful and it backfired on her. Just calmly explain to her that she wouldn't be too excited either if you got her a Thigh-Master. :D
 
I know a dude who's wife got him a "Sex for Dummies" book then left it out where any of us could see it when we came over. That shit has your neck thing beat, OP!

This is a serious gift. My girl isn't jesting, this is 100% serious. I crack up when I open the gift, my girl gets angry that I don't like her present, and storms off to school.
:lol So you laugh and she gets pissed? That would have been the best possible response. She should have been like "Oh haha...yeah...I uh.. I was.. it was a joke... I'll go get your present. I left it in the car..." *sound of screeching tires*

I guess she expected "Oh my gawd! Just what I was looking for. Thanks, hon! I can't wait to lose this excess skin!"

That's also true. Maybe she really thought that she was being thoughtful. At the end, it's the thought that counts.
 
You should've thrown it at her and started crying, "You just think I'm fat don't you?! Why don't you say it! I'm too fat for you! You women are all alike!"
 
It's a safety device. You're riding in the car, and you stick your head out the window. Loose skin could knock your eyeball out.
 
she must have seen it in one of costanza's deal threads. Your girl is cheap yo.

Yeah, or It's costanza trying to secretly rid the world of all fat rolls.

This is the best answer. She would have flipped if you did something like this for her.
 
the key here is :

"and thus I've had some extra skin on my bones for about 5 years, which I like to bitch about now and then"

it implies that you would like to get rid of it and that you actively think about it. I wouldn't be so offended
 
I heard that shit actually works, though I make it a policy to never buy products with before and after images.

And you said so yourself, you occasionally bitch about your neckline, why are you so surprised that she got you that as a gift?

Haha I was going to post something witty, but I gotta agree... that's the worst birthday present ever. Maybe topped by a paper bag with two holes in it.
 
So you're fat, lose weight, bitch about loose skin, she buys something to help with loose skin, you get angry. It might not be the best gift but at least it means she cares enough to listen to your whining and bitching.
 
What's awesome is that I bet the picture on the front isn't Photoshopped, but there's some dude just off-frame to the right, grasping the back of neck and pulling all the extra fat and skin into a disgusting ponytail of flesh.

So Gaf,

I'm gonna cut straight to the chase here. I was ~ 330lbs back when I was a teenager, lost some serious weight (I'm about 200lbs now), and thus I've had some extra skin on my bones for about 5 years, which I like to bitch about now and then. Flash to my 23rd birthday. I've been with my GF for almost a year and a half now. This is my present:

What. The. F***. Look at that. LOOK AT IT. ITS A NECK SHAPER. Its not just an insult, it insinuates my girl believes this as seen on TV crap is for real. Wow.

Please, post your gift failures, make me feel better.

No way, one person I know was telling me how one year for Christmas his dad sent him a box of chocolate and a sweater that was slightly too small as a present. Now that was one hell of a mindfuck for a gift. Bare in mind his dad is a psychology professor. ;P
