You being nice is bad because now someone else has to be nice? How does that make sense? Being nice is a choice, not an obligation. This guy should be lucky he even got a gift, because you know that you didn't have to.
The only thing this guy would deserve from me (
strictly hypothetically, I wish -no- harm on anyone) is a firm kick in the unmentionables.
If you read/remember my earlier rant about someone saying they'd visit but then they never did (without telling me they're not coming), this is the same lovely guy.
We go a long way back and there's been a lot of things I've ended up having to regret/suffer through because of this guy, but none of that is really relevant right now. The short short version is that he's -not- a good person -at all-
And yeah, I tried explaining that to him as well, that I just felt like trying to do something nice for him without expecting anything in return for it, but he started to give me some long rant about how he's "Trying to act like a normal person and therefore -HAS- to get me something"
He sure is doing a fine job with that "Normal person"-stuff, I gotta say... >->'
