Sport fandom is serious business for many people. It sometimes involves also being against another team.
What would you do if someone gave you a gift but it was for a rival sports team? Would you be gracious and say thank you, or would you demand a gift receipt and share your hatred for the team and the gift?
See how strong feelings for a sports team led to drama among loved ones.
Who overreacted here? Read on to decide.
AITA for asking for a gift receipt for a baby shower gift.
My husband and I are having our first son later this year and he is due on labor day.
I had my baby shower last weekend and it was a great event, but there was one interaction that may make me a jerk.
My husband showed up for the gift portion. When opening gifts, one gift was a baby care package and a onesie to the rival college my husband and I went to. It was given to us by a friend who went to said rival college.
It became a dealbreaker.
My Husband has a pretty deep hatred of the rival school. I follow along with that since fall Saturdays at football games is our thing.
When we opened this gift, my husband audibly said “Oh”. I could see the annoyed look on his face.
I said, I hope a gift receipt came with this! I thought it was a gag gift.
My friend says, “Oh no gift receipt.”
I was like, oh well, [Son’s Name] is never going to wear this.” Then we moved on to the next gift. A little awkward, but whatever.
After the party, my husband threw the onesie in the trash.
That didn’t go over well.
A few days ago someone asked what happened with the onesie and I told them.
Well that made it around to a few people and I get a text from the friend saying that i’m a huge jerk. I should have just given it back to her.
I was like thats what the gift receipt comment was for and told her my husband would never allow our son to be dressed like that.
I never thought it was supposed to be a legitimate gift, but apparently it was. AITA?
A gift receipt is always a good idea.

It’s called being a grown up.

I don’t know why they haven’t grown out of this.

SO rude. If you want a gift receipt, you ask privately after.

She sounds like she loves being dramatic.

SO pathetic. I don’t get it.

Some people take things way too seriously.
