Here is the story
I bought my best friend of 15 years a decently expensive birthday gift and his girlfriend opened it
I spent $300 on my best friend’s favorite scotch and his gf opened it and the card I wrote him. It seems silly but I’m annoyed.
Would this annoy you?
I took time out of my only day off to buy a present, wrap a present and write a card all for the purpose of it being a nice surprise for my buddy once he got off work.
And his gf straight up opened everything. Am I being selfish?

Scotch isn’t a long term gift so it was important to me that the “surprise factor” was there.
Netizens’ comments
- I think you’re justified in feeling a little annoyed and disappointed, but keep things in perspective… this is small peanuts. And ultimately, this is an issue between your friend and his GF. If he’s annoyed, he should raise it with her. I wouldn’t do anything in your position. It’s just not your place.
- I would be slightly annoyed. Sometimes couples seem to morph into one and it takes away from special moments you want to have with the person you’re actually bonded to. Not to say you can’t be friends with their S/O as well, but it’s not the same.
