To ask or not to ask?

To ask someone to return the gift you’ve given them is such a shameful and disgraceful act. Especially if that someone is your ex-gf or ex-bf. I still find it hard to believe that there are still some people who do that…. I mean, in my point of view, no one should do that. But of course there are certain exceptions. What is your view? Think it through before I influence your opinion. Of course, this doesn’t only apply to guys, ladies included as well.

So, this is what I think.
After some thoughts, I’ve catagorised these jackasses/bastards people into a few categories.

Type 1
They felt that since already break up, they might as well ask for the gift back so they can give to their next gf. Waste not, recycle. These are what I call Super-low-cheap-skate people. Normally, these people would ask for only a few useable ones back, not all. After all, who could reuse a worn out shoe?

Type 2
They felt that they spent too much time, energy and money on us and still didn’t get what they wanted. So now, they want everything back. It’s like for them, they somehow felt ‘betrayed’ and want revenge. Their rational is “I’ve spent/given so much on/to her and yet, she still wants to break up. She’s so mean, she’s not worth it. I want everything back!” These are even worst than type 1. Extremely-low-cheap-skate are what I call them. Even if the girl is really bitchy, he’s the one to blame. No one ask them to buy anything in the first place. It’s all ‘xing kan ching yuan’.

These would usually ask for every single thing back. They are useless shits. Why would a guy need a pair of 2 inch high heels??

Type 3

shouldn't ask it back la

Samus Aran says:

but sometimes you know

Samus Aran says:

when ppl argue

Samus Aran says:

they'll purposely say the worst possible things to make the other party feel like shit

Samus Aran says:

so sometimes

Samus Aran says:

it's not about the gift

Samus Aran says:

but more, that one person wants to spite another

This was what my friend reason out. I agree with him. Some people find it joyful in making other feel like shit. These are the worst. They do not only ask for things, but they will also say really hurtful things. If the girl has cheated on him, then I do understand, but if she has done nothing to deserve it, then the guy is an asshole.

Then, there are also exceptions like for instance,

Samus Aran says:

if i have a good reason

Samus Aran says:

like i hutang loan shark

Samus Aran says:

and i gave my friend some kind of 12 karat gold ring

Samus Aran says:

i will ask la

and other circumstances of course. What do you think?
