My friend @whatupobvi gave me this awesome jersey as a gift and when I went to pick it up from him I had McDonald's and didn't even offer him any of my fries. The worst part is I didn't even eat the fries cuz I'm trying to cut carbs. He gave me a priceless gift and I couldn't even give him one fry which probably costed 2-3 cents. Since I realized my awful mistake I sent him a $100 McDonald's gift card which will feed him for a month but I still feel terrible. I really hate this selfish, entitled person I'm becoming.
