Buying souvenirs for people...

So is buying souvenirs for people an act of kindness or has it become a requirement when going on holidays these days?
It's one of those things that begins to bug me. So I'm on holidays and I would love to buy presents for others because I genuinely WANT to, but since you asked, I feel like what the hell dude? all you care is about what you can get? selfish much??

You see a friend go on a vacation, and you see some people telling them to enjoy their holiday and make the most of it, and some other people that don't even bother to ask and just say, can you get me this? have you bought me that? did you remember my shopping list? blah blah blah.

I just think it is rude. To those that demand things, please shut up for a minute and be considerate of your friend! If you are a real friend, you'd be happy for them to have a wonderful time and come back with exciting stories to tell you.
And for the poor vacationers out there racking your brains spending half your holiday and money on buying things for others, be good to yourself for once and enjoy your holiday, after all, it is a time for yourself, not for others. You are definitely not a butler with a shopping list going out to buy stuff for everyone.

So, all I can say is enjoy your holiday and be happy =] Real friends care about you, not your gifts.

over and out,
