I'm learning to turn the bullshit people put on me back to the source. Granted, it takes practice to recognize it and react. Here's the scenario du jour....
A friend of mine is turning 50. A party has been planned. The party is tomorrow evening. I get a text message late this afternoon from another friend who is attending the party chirping, "What are you getting X for her birthday?"
I replied with a text stating, "Oh, probably a bottle of wine."
A couple of hours later I got another text from the same person stating, "Do you want to go in a message $25 each?"
I replied, "sure."
She then texted me asking if I wanted to be the one to go and purchase the gift certificate for a message from the both of us. That's where I drew the line. Don't text me pawning off your gift giving obligations onto me. I was happy with the thought of giving the birthday girl a bottle of wine. Don't initiate this wonderful 'joint' brainstorm idea *you* had and then suggest *I* do the legwork. You just want me to do your shit work. Fuck you.
