Before you call me ungrateful (which is what I told my gf that I feel), let me explain. I’ve reached a milestone birthday. A bunch of friends wanted to surprise me and buy me a barbecue. My girlfriend accidentally sent me a text discussing it, and I was able to read it before she deleted it. I casually wrote back, “ I can’t wait for the nice weather so I can pull out the barbecue that’s in the garage.” And then sent a wink. Again, not that I want to seem ungrateful, but why should they all spend so much money on something that I already have, and most people don’t need two barbecues. Especially me. Years ago I bought a top quality barbecue because I knew that I would take care of it and have it for years. So I still have it. And it’s in perfect shape because I take care of it One of the guys was running to Home Depot to buy one of the rack. But again, who needs two barbecues? My girlfriend tried to convince them that I don’t need a second barbecue, but they’re all insisting,“ because he hasn’t barbecued in a while.” Stupid excuse, because they don’t know how often I do or don’t barbecue. So when they give it to me, am I the asshole if I return it? It’s not like they weren’t told that I don’t need it. My girlfriend even said that he’s probably going to end up returning it because he has one. But they still feel that I’m going to want this one instead.
