Lunchtime with friends. We're chatting away. We're very much excited that Christmas is on its way. (Our mall is already in the Christmas spirit.)
All of a sudden, my friend tells me, "You never got ME a Christmas present last year." So, I said, "I didn't get anyone anything." (Except one person... but that's it!) And she was like, "Oh yeah?" And I was like, "So... it was ONE person." And she was like, "So?" And... urgh. It pisses me off that she had the nerve to say that. Why does she think she deserves that present anyway? (And for the record, she didn't get me anything either... but you don't see me complaining.) Sorry, I just wanted to vent. Anyone have any suggestions or should I just let that go? |

Just let it go. You don't want it to blow up into something big. I think she's just jealous of the friend that received a gift from you.
[ATTENTION: below is just nonsense] IMO, She probably believes that she at least has equal er.."friend status" than your other friend and by seeing that other friend getting a gift, took an emotional toll on her. She just wants to be loved by you. (: Haha, I don't know. I get these ideas from my crazy ass friends. |

QUOTE(icecreamisyummy @ Nov 13 2007, 06:27 PM)  who's the "ONE" person? and what was it This one person happened to be a friend that agreed to exchange gifts with me. And we both agreed that since we both liked chocolate, we'd give each other chocolate... I mean, it wasn't that big of a deal. QUOTE(Moderator @ Nov 13 2007, 09:25 PM) What was the reaction from the other folks? Nothing. They didn't really anything. The attention was all on me and her arguing about it. (Maybe arguing isn't the right word...) Now that I think about it, it's kind of a petty thing to get worked up over. But still. I got annoyed. |

I had a friend who marked down her birthday in another girl's calendar book agenda thing and said something along the lines of 'I expect balloons/gift on that day' and I'm shocked because that's such a selfish thing to say. And the girl didn't get her balloons! Haha! Seriously, why should she?
I was really annoyed too. |

Yeah, it was a pretty selfish thing. Sometimes there's things you just have to let go, esspecially if they aren't always like that. (If they are then why be friends with them?) I probably would've thought my friend was joking and started to laugh at them...

 Overreaction. Ignore her. WTF? She didn't get you anything but she thinks you should get her something? ... right. |

I had a friend that never bought me anything, christmas or birthday and yet had the nerve to mention that I didn't get her an xmas gift last year.
I'm not friends with her anymore. She was a bit of a psycho.  I think your friend here just wants some reassurances. |
