Secret Santas of Reddit, whats the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever?

Well it wasn't 'santa' but rather Dutch Sinterklaas (and yes it's racist...I know)

Anyway, we did a sort of secret Santa thing when I was in primary school (I was 11 for reference) and wouldn't you know it: I drew my bully. This utter piece of trash. This complete and utter gutter kid. Anyway, my luck didn't end there: he drew me. And he made sure I knew.

I was angry. Furious. Wanted to switch. Couldn't. Wasn't allowed to. So. I decided to be the bigger man. I loved arts and crafts actually, and I knew he liked boxing, so I made him a boxing ring. With stands, a ring, rope, two guys boxing, the works. I was actually a little proud to, sad to give it awau to... him. But ok. I knew that. It was fine.

So... day comes. He gets his boxing ring and a nice little gift we were supposed to put inside of our arts and crafts thing. And I get a box. Just a taped shut box. With, I think it was half a pack of pencils. I don't really remember. It was infuriating. It felt unfair. I was trying my best to be a better person, to be nice to him, and all I got was... this. And it's not about the gift or whatever. It was just further proof of him not caring. Anyway. He bullied me straight after our little sitdown and threw my project in the bin.

He's in a reintegration program for young delinquents now. Metal worker. I'm now attending university and doing moderately well there. For me, things sort of worked out.
