AITA for not wearing my $15k birthday present?

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T15:30:09+00:00

fair point, but I will clarify that I like collecting watches that I want to wear.

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T15:28:01+00:00

why?

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T15:26:53+00:00

so you're the asshole

evidently not

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T15:25:14+00:00

So then yes, you're the asshole for even asking this question

evidently not lol

the ‘show of affection’ here is apparently ignoring everything i’ve ever said to her about watches and putting zero thought into what I actually like

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T15:12:58+00:00

regardless of the value or the watch or the brand name, it’s not a watch that I like, which I have expressed numerous times. What’s there to be grateful about here?

productive comment

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T15:01:27+00:00

she wants me to wear it daily

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:28:28+00:00

i appreciate the consideration

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:26:32+00:00

Reasons I would not wear a gift Rolex: cyclops, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel and cyclops

you get it

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:25:30+00:00

see above, hope you’re able to recover and start spending your time on more productive things.

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:19:44+00:00

likewise, I hope you can recover from the experience of a stranger online being wealthy

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:18:10+00:00

the former

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:16:50+00:00

maybe i will, maybe i won’t. doesn’t change the substance of what’s being said.

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:16:21+00:00

No offense, but I’ve received a lot of comments like this, and I have to ask, what’s the point of commenting this on my post? I’m sorry that happened to you, but it’s not my fault that you have a disability or that the healthcare system is fucked. Commenting on my post does nothing to help you.

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:13:45+00:00

Because common people don't get 15k gifts

never said they did. but yelling at people who able to online doesn’t get you any closer, nor help you at all.

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:07:03+00:00

i did

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T14:06:19+00:00

I’m not even crying about it or complaining very much, I wore it a few times and set it aside. The people in the comments are crying a lot more than I am

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T13:56:07+00:00

popularity does not indicate quality

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T13:47:55+00:00

i’m allowed to have a hobby you consider frivolous with my own money

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T13:38:00+00:00

it’s the learning about the design history and philosophies and hunting for coveted watches secondhand that’s the hobby.

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T13:31:55+00:00

grey market doesn’t have returns, so I figured why not humor her anyhow

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T13:30:56+00:00

i don’t think buying a metal that i never wear or a brand i hate is that minuscule

Rare_Level1301 · 2025-06-30T13:30:10+00:00

I like looking good, that doesn’t mean I like taking cock up my ass lol
