Lady Netizen Frustrated with Friend Who Buys Things She Wants First
A lady netizen expressed her frustration about a friend who seems to have a habit of buying items she mentions wanting for herself.
Recently, Dearfriedrice, a Reddit user, shared her experience with a friend who buys things she wants first. The post immediately spread like wildfire on social media and elicited reactions from netizens.
According to the user, her friend tends to purchase things she talks about buying, sometimes even before she gets the chance. For example, during mall trips, she would casually mention wanting a particular pair of shoes, clothes, or food but needed time to think before buying.
The next time they met, she’d find her friend already using or enjoying the items she had planned to get. The situation doesn’t stop there.
When she told her friend she was saving up for Studio Ghibli merchandise, which holds sentimental value to her, the friend who wasn’t even a fan bought it first.
She even joined a concert of a band she didn’t know, supposedly just to tag along. While the friend uses her own money, she often brags in their circle of friends that she got the items first, which the user finds annoying.

The lady netizen sometimes avoids sharing her plans to avoid such incidents. However, her friend still notices things she owns, asks where she got them, and orders them for herself.
The uploader clarified that her friend is generally kind, close to her family, and helpful at gatherings. She even feels a bit sorry for her, knowing her friend doesn’t get to experience the same joy with her own family.
However, the repeated behavior makes it difficult to overlook the annoyance.
