Oh man, let me tell you about a thing that happened.
I got a bunch of tickets so my extended family could come to a show I had built costumes for. A few were comps but most were 80 plus dollars a pop. Some family members asked whether they could pay me back for the tickets, but I thought of them as a gift, so I told them no. On the day of the show, my aunt told me she was "too tired" and wouldn't be coming to the show. (I tried to sell or even give away her ticket, but her seat stayed vacant.)
And three years later I am still pissed, apparently. I mean, it's like I gave her a gift that I made with $80 worth of materials and she burned it in front of me.
