>>124520743>>124521144Let me break this down for you faggots with a painfully-real world example of what I'm talking about:
A friend recently had his father-in-law pass away, somewhat unexpectedly, while in hospice/rehab after a botched suicide attempt. This stuck him with a cremation/funeral fee and memorial considerations to the tune of something like ~$2000 out of nowhere, because apparently the hospice center informed him 24 hours after the death occurred that he was on the hook for said sum. So, upon hearing this, a few buddies and I cobbled together $2200 dollars to help offset our friend's financial burden, because he's not exactly balling and this is on top of other financial and mental shit he's had to deal with. Now, my contribution was $800 because I had just sold a bunch of headphones online and had a passable amount still tied up in my Paypal as a result of this. This is of little concern to me, because I keep my financials clean and I'm not hurting. After receiving a heartfelt text from both my friend and his wife, I was asked if I were free Tuesday. One of the friends I got the money together with informed me that I was invited to a spaghetti dinner Tuesday while we watch the Bucks in the finals [FEAR THE DEER MOTHERFUCKERS].
Now, I don't NEED a spaghetti dinner. I need to make time to go visit my friend that night, and have other things I could do on my week off.
HOWEVER.
This is how he can express his thanks, especially considering his finances, schedule, and mental load from the last several crazy months. Do I:
>A. Tell him lol don't worry about it, it doesn't matteror
>B. Graciously accept his offer, because he's my friend and this is more important to him than it is to meMake fucking sense now, you privileged, narcissistic cunts? It's not about your intent, it's about EVERYONE'S feelings.
Bucks in 6
