I went to H's friend's child's first birthday party. I actually got the birthday present right before the party, because I threw my back out and couldn't go shopping yesterday. They didn't open any of the presents in front of their guests. H's friend is really into batman, so we got the baby fisher price comic little people. It was so adorable. As well as a little tunnel to play in. Apparently, three people had this idea, and all got their kid the Fisher Price Comic Little People. When I got home, I came home to this message from H's friend's wife with my name and the names of others tagged in the post with the duplicate gift: "Way to go muffinman, gingerbreadman, and bundtcakeman on great communications! " And then she shared a pic on facebook of three duplicate gifts. Am I being unreasonable to be pissed? I though that was rude as hell. She also told everyone to bring a book instead of a card. I had feared that the books could have been duplicated. I didn't want to write a message in a book, because she would not have been able to return it, so I got her a little card as well. I put both the card and the gift receipt inside the book.
She has said some other nasty things to me, in the past, and I don't know if what she did was rude, or if I am thinking she was rude because of my previous problems with her. Was her comment rude? I thought the appropriate thing to do was thank everyone whether you liked the gift, had a duplicate, or didn't like the gift. If I were close to someone (like my mom or sister, I would as them for the receipt, if I didn't have one... but never anyone else).
