So todays my birthday. A couple days back I was asking my parents for a new 30 gig zune for my birthday, if i threw down maybe a quarter of the cost or so. That night i mentioned to my girlfriend that my parents may get me the zune i want for my birthday. Today comes around and i asked if i could take a ride down to bestbuy to pick up my gift, and they are telling me to wait till after the weekend. I have no problem doing this with somewhat of a reason. I finally talked my way around all the fluff and found out that my girlfriend had called my parents the night i told her about the zune, and told them not to get me it because she has already gotten me an ipod. 1. I HATE iPods, iTunes, and Apple PERIOD! 2. I love my girlfriend of two years 3. I need something bigger than what im guessing she got me. (I ran out of room on my last 8 gig iPod, which was stolen while i was being arrested.) 4. She ordered it online, which i would not have done. But Im hoping she ordered it from a legit site like apple or bestbuy so there is somewhat of a chance to return it. I should be seeing her on saturday, im glad my parents told me because i would have not known how to react WHAT DO I DO? PLEASE HELP!!!
Appreciate she got you something rather than freaking oushe got you something you don't like at all. She could have just totally forgot about your birthday and didn't get you nothing. How 'bout them apples. Give her a break.
Dumbest post posted by probably the dumbest kid here... somebody is giving you an ipod and thats how you act ?
Sign of the times I think... too many people just feel entitled. I feel sorry for the O.P. No perspective, no wisdom, no appreciation. It doesn't matter what the gift is- or that there even is one. Makes me wonder how heavily the relationship is conditional on the stuff that's exchanged instead of being based on the greatest gift one can give- that being him or herself.
Yeah, entitlement...sheesh. For Valentine's Day my bf wrote me a poem and gave me a framed photo of himself (I was leaving for three months the next day)...was it EXACTLY what I envisioned him giving me? No. But it meant sooooooooooo much to me, and I wouldn't have wanted anything else. Do you know how much his gift cost? 4.99 for a frame. It's not about the gift itself, it's the thought behind it. Stop being so goddamned selfish and be thankful that she got you anything...because with that attitude, I wouldn't have gotten a damn thing for you.
ill trade ya, new zune for your ipod did she know you dislike ipods? you're young, and when i was 16 gifts meant a lot to me too, but you have to realize that your girl dished out a lot of money, you should just be thankful. anyway, good luck man, dont lose her for items, love is more meaningful in the long run.
