We’ve all been there: trying to find the perfect gift for a significant other. But what happens when the gift they want seems unreasonable? One man found himself in this predicament when his girlfriend of six years asked for a set of expensive Japanese knives for her birthday. He thought it was nonsense, as she’s not a professional cook, and refused to buy them. Money isn’t an issue for the couple, but was he being petty or practical? Let’s dive into the story.

Petty Boyfriend or Practical Decision? ‍♂️

In a world where the perfect gift can be elusive, one man’s refusal to buy his girlfriend’s desired $254 Japanese knives has sparked debate. Money isn’t an issue for the couple, but the boyfriend believes it’s an unreasonable request since she’s not a professional cook. After some back-and-forth, he finally decided to take her to a store with Japanese knives in their country. But was he being petty or practical? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
