OP here. Idk how to get the op tag. I'm an American in Japan. I wasn't expecting a gift and really didn't care about today being White day until the coworker, an American who overseas everyone, came into our office and handed out gifts in front of everyone. Then because one of the Americans in our office didn't know what white day was, he explained that out of all the Americans sitting there, I would have been the only one to get a gift on White Day because I'm the only female, then walked out of the office. I think it's just the hormones that are causing this to be bigger then it should be. I've never cared about Valentine's Day before. I did buy my own chocolate when I got off work.

Who's to say they were pricks, exactly?
It sounds like he didn't give you a gift because you're American and this is a Japanese holiday.
Living in Japan is rough, especially for ladies. Heads up!

Wow, not even an obligation gift? Are you the only foreign worker or were you just mysteriously left out? That's just cold.
It would especially messed up if the dude got a White Day gift and you didn't. White Day is a thing in Korea, too, and it is equally as dumb. OP, don't beat yourself up over it.
