Sometimes getting agiftfor a person in one’s life can be a tricky thing, even if you know them very well. Luckily, in some of these cases, wishlists or gift registries come in handy. Still, sometimes even they can’t help if you have other limitations, for example, a tight budget.
Just like today’s post’s author, who decided to go rogue from their pregnant friend’s gift registry simply because they couldn’t afford the stuff there. And, well, the situation turned out to be quite an upsetting one.

This largely disappointed the pregnant friend, resulting in her sending a whole paragraph of scolding text and the author canceling the order
But the friend wasn’t thrilled about it. She responded with a whole paragraph of text scolding the OP for not using the registry as a guide after asking her to send it. The registry had listed things she wanted, but her friend had decided to buy something else.
So, the OP canceled the order without mentioning to their friend about the priceerrorin the registry and their feelings of disappointment that they couldn’t afford what their friend wanted.They also came onto Reddit to ask whether this whole situation made them a jerk.

Internet folks had mixed reactions, but the majority decided that the author shouldn’t have gone rogue from the registry and the friend shouldn’t have reacted this angrily
