In this day and age nothing comes for free, that's a principle my mother has ingrained into my head. I think she taught me that with such force that she knew I was a sucker for nice gestures from when I was a young age, I used to give my toys away that I got for Christmas or my birthday and would get the shit smacked out of me when she found out.
now days if someone gave me something I'll be thinking "ok what the fuck does this nigga want from me" it's just a principle that has gotten me this far in life without DRAMA because it's where acts like this lead to, I have watched too many judge Judy and dr phil episodes to know that you just don't do that sort of shit unless you're a rich bitch and money is no object to you, but as an Aquarian if I thought someone needed a laptop and I had the money, I'd buy it for them and made sure it got to them without them knowing it was from me so I wouldn't have to deal with the awkwardness of gratitude.
Some people do nice things for me for a reaction and I can't even give them that, I do give them a reaction but it's always the obligatory normal reaction you get, nothing genuine or real.
