Of course they did.

You got him a FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR piece of technology for your ONE-YEAR DATING anniversary???? Well la dee da, Miss Moneybags. That's disgustingly extreme. You usually don't start shelling out entire paychecks for a person until at least the second or third year of dating (and that's only if your relationship is EXTREMELY mature, such as you're at the point where you're living together or considering getting engaged), or even better, your WEDDING. Maybe he doesn't want to spend so much money on such a minor anniversary. Maybe he's saving up to get you something really nice for Christmas or your birthday, so he CAN'T dump out a few HUNDRED dollars whenever you celebrate every single anniversary. Or maybe, he actually thought you'd appreciate something that shows he remembers little details about you, rather an a big expensive pile of meaningless shit. Be thankful he remembered your favorite candy, you ungrateful brat. Sure, it's not an expensive DVD player, but (I assume) he was TRYING to show you how much he cares and pays attention to your likes and dislikes. But no. Instead of being gracious and thanking him for remembering your favorite sweeties, you threw a fit. Grow up or dump him to start dating someone as shallow as you are.

Also, $400 is an insane amount to pay for a dvd player. Where'd you go, 'Rent-A-Center'?

That too. We just bought a new DVD player, and it cost $50. FIFTY DOLLARS. Not only did you spend a disgusting amount of money on the thing, you were also ripped off. Most DVD players cost anywhere from $20 to $200, and the two hundred dollar ones include a cassette player and all the cool gadgets. $400...Jesus Christ...what did you do, buy a DVD player that included a cassette player, blu-ray player, and 6 CD changing system???

Who the **** cares if you got him a $400 DVD player? Are you one of those people who buys ridiculously expensive things and expects the other person to equally reciprocate? F your life for completely missing the point of a gift. You don't give things to someone and just expect something of equal monetary value in return. How tacky can you get? Maybe your bf isn't made of money like you are so he can just throw random expensive things at you.

When the OP actually responds, they put a little badge Icon on the side of his comment. Therefore, you are not the OP. (Check the one about the Iraq veteran who's mom called him a "whiny bitch" when he told her about PTSD induced nightmares or the one where the mom applied for a reduction in her already low child support payments)

the original FML was submitted by an anonymous poster, so NakedAggression MIGHT be the OP who signed up after submitting, but it's impossible to tell. Anyways, I'd say YDI for getting upset over him giving you a thoughtful gift just because it doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money. Some of the best gifts I've ever received cost next to nothing, but took some thought to put together and that's the way it should be.
