Husband insisted on buying hat he didn’t need and it ended up not fitting
We went to the World of Coke yesterday to with some out of town family. As we went through the gift shop on the way out, my husband started shopping and was looking at the hats. He already has so many hats that he doesn’t wear so I said do you really need another hat? He said yes and proceeded to pick one out that he liked and as a cherry on top, also bought a t-shirt. I’m just annoyed because we don’t even drink coke nor did we really enjoy the coke museum (it’s fine but not that exciting), so why would he bother buying overpriced souvenirs there? (The hat was $40 and the shirt was $30). We leave the shop and are walking back to the car and he decides to try the hat on and it’s way too big — the rim made his ears stick out and were all laughing and teasing and I’m like well let’s just pop back in and get you a different hat that fits and he refused. He said I would rather throw my $40 away than go back and ask for a new hat. He is so prideful when it comes to stuff like that. He knows he messed up but couldn’t admit that and therefore couldn’t fix the situation. So that’s it, I’m annoyed that he feels the need to buy a hat everywhere we go and doesn’t even bother to try them on and make sure they fit. Big waste of money, might as well look at it as a donation to Coca Cola.
