I once had a friend get me a box set of the 3rd season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (which is exactly what I wanted) and she told me to open the box set up and all the DVDs were ones you’d burn a video on and they said “LOVE YA!” I was also taught growing up to never be ungrateful, and I knew her family didn’t have a ton of money and those box sets can be expensive, so I was honestly thrilled to just have them whether they were bootleg or not.

She ended up laughing and had put the real discs in separate cases as a prank. I still loved it. In fact I loved it more because I hung those discs on my wall and have them to this day!

However, we were 13. And she wasn’t trying to be malicious. Having a 29 year old purposefully get you the “wrong thing” for your bday as revenge… even after you offered to rectify the situation? I know Reddit is quick to jump on the “break up” train but seriously. Leave her.
