It's good to be the birthday person.
Alright, let me explain the situation. The situation which could have ended potentially bad.
Let's say you spent ten hours putting together a present, you know, all the little intricacies like the present idea brainstorming, the order of presentation, the card prepping, the photoshopping, and all that fun stuff. It's one of those presents where the payoff is when you get to see the expression on the person's face. You know, that mix of oh my god, what is this mixed with wow you're so great for actually putting your heart into the present.
Let's say also that you drove all the way to Maryland the day before the party, and pretty much only came back to Philly to go to this person's party to see this person's face as this person opens their present.
Knowing that, it'd pretty safe to say that it would be a messed up thing to do to open the present when the gift giver (ME) wasn't there. Wouldn't it? You know, me, the person who spent all that time figuring out the present, setting it up, making sure to be there on the birthday day. The person who wanted to see your initial facial expression. The person who if he knew that would have happened, he would have just stayed in Maryland and given you the present later. Why put all that effort into making your birthday special?
So for me to walk out of said person's birthday wasn't exactly unjustified. The other option was to take out their birthday cake and just start eating it. What? Why not? They started on my present when I wasn't there, I think it's only fair to start on the cake when they're not their too.
Bottom line, I give good presents and I want to be there when they're opened. If you can't respect that, I'm going to eat your cake. And in the future, expect to only get my shit in a box with a little flag that says, "You fucked it up for yourself." That's if you're even worth the time anymore.
In the end, said person is lucky it was their birthday and that I decided to come back to be there for the rest of that birthday. Don't mean i'm not pissed, just means that there's a grace period.
Don't think you got away with it.
