I am getting really angry at the moment because I'm spending copious amounts of money on my friends presents and then not being given a gift back.
Please know, that I don't just buy them gift's so they will buy me one in return, I buy them gifts because it's the way I have been raised and I consider it to be a factor of general polietness.
This has happend five times in the last 3 months.
I went to my friends 18th birthdy party and spent 30.00 dollars and got her jewelerey. She said she loves it etc. She then said 'Oh you will love the present I'm going to get you'.
When it came to my birthday dinner, she didn't even buy me a card, she just said, 'oh I found the perfect present and will give it to you soon! I'm sorry I don't have it now, I've just been caught up on what to buy you'. It's not the fact she didn't buy me anything, it's the fact she didn't even get a little card saying happy birthday. I'm also angry because she lied, she hasn't gotten me anything.
The second time was when it was my friends 17th Winter Wonderland picnic and as her birthday gift was being posted from Ebay I got her a 'pre present' to show my apologies. I got her a lovely framed photo of us both. And a really nice card telling her the rest of her present was coming.
When I saw her next I gave her the rest of her present and she was so happy.
When it was my birthday dinner she got me a card saying she's sorry for not buying me anything but she's broke and the present is on the way. Fair enough, a card will suffice fine and I was quite happy because its the thought that counts. But she like my other friend, LIED and didn't get me anything.
Now I don't care that they didn't get me anything, but I'm getting really annoyed at the friends of mine who have to lie and say they will get me something and never do. I just think it's extremely rude.
One of my really close friends didn't even get me a card when I spent 120.00 dollars on her present and posted it to her.
One of my closest friends didn't get me anything because she had no money, not even a card.I'm annoyed because she previously bitched about one of her friends not even getting her a card, yet she did the same thing to me. It also pissed me off because she is quite wealthy and could of borrowed money for a freaking card, considering I spent alot of money on her.
I'm also extremely angry because I'm spending over $400.00 on a weekend getaway with two of them and they couldn't be bothered to get me a little card.
I'm not rich and my family hardly has any money, so alot of saving went into that weekend getaway.
I know I must sound like an idiot who has too much time on her hands, and I know I'm venting alot, but It's just really annoying me and making me feel quite angry that I go to all this trouble and don't even get a card in return.
I'm also wasting alot of money on them when I could be saving for a car.
Please post your advice and if this happens to you. . .
