Money: Broke boy

Broke boy

By Noname - 02/03/2009 07:24 - United States

Today, I went to Tiffany's to exchange a bracelet my boyfriend had given me for our year anniversary. It was the first gift that he actually spent money on me for. The sales lady then told me that the bracelet was not a real Tiffany's item. FML

Today, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML

Today, my boyfriend came over with a broken engraved bracelet that I paid 50 dollars for. I was so angry but when I stated "I am going to call them and get a new one!" my boyfriend said back to me "No it's okay, I didn't really like it anyways." It was for our 2 year anniversary. FML

Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML

Today, my boyfriend went into great detail over the Tiffany's jewelry he painstakingly selected for his previous girlfriends on their birthday. I got hand towels. In powder blue. From Target. FML

Today, as a 1 year anniversary present, my boyfriend let me see and wear my engagement ring. He then made me give it back at the end of the day. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML

Today, was my mom's birthday. I recently got my first job, thanks to her, and could finally afford to buy her something nice. I spent my first paycheck ever on buying her a very nice bracelet. She said it was nice, then asked if I would mind if she exchanged it for one she actually liked. FML

I guess karma is a bitch. Exchanging your boyfriends gift for cash and all

Why would you exchange a bracelet (or necklace?) from Tiffany's in the first place? Kind of serves you right it wasn't actually from there.

So, you thought you could return a 300+ necklace/bracelet to Tiffany's with no receipt to prove it was theirs? **** your life for making up this story.

Yeah, don't take jewellery back to a store without a receipt. Smooth move.

I agree with #11 why would you go and exchange your boyfriend's present in the first place, sounds like a bitch move to me. Karma

If it really was an expensive gift I would want to make sure it was right. Yes, her boyfriend picked it out, but if it was $300 I personally wouldnt want her to keepbit if she didnt like it when she could exchange it for one she liked better. If she really didnt like it, I doubt she would have worn it too often, so that money is just hanging out in a drawer. I'd be pissed if it was returned for cash, but exchanging it for a similar item that would get more use I'd be more than okay with.

i agree with everyone who has called you an idiot for returning a gift your boyfriend got you for your one-year anniversary, whether it was a bracelet or a necklace. i don't care if he got you the worst present ever, you cherish that shit! what kind of terrible girlfriend returns something like that? like he's not going to notice when you don't wear it...

Oh, come on, you guys. I mean, I too think this may well be bullshit because of the necklace/bracelet situation, but you're being ridiculous. A) She never once said she'd *return* it for cash. She said she was trying to *exchange* it. Exchange it means to swap it for another item from Tiffany's. Don't make asinine assumptions based on vocabulary words you don't understand. B) He's a BOY. Of course he's not going to notice when she doesn't wear it. That's like pretending for a moment that a guy has ever actually picked out perfume for a girl he liked: he asked the sale's lady what girls were buying, and bought that. The one guy who would notice, among other things, would have probably picked a decent gift, and not lied about where he got it from. Returning or exchanging something your boyfriend got you? Yeah, that's pretty shallow. But if he spent that much money and you're going to own ONE big ticket jewelry item, it might as well be one you really, really like.
