Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : The neighbor, Daniel shoveled the driveway twice now in the past week, last year my friend, Jessica didn't have a car and asked that Daniel not shovel because it makes her feel bad. This year Jessica has a car but both of us don't have time in the morning to shovel. When Jessica found out that the neighbor beat her to shoveling the driveway (it was now 11pm) she got angry and stormed off.

So I went and purchased a $25 gift card to the liquor store for Daniel on behalf of the both of us to say thank you because I was convinced Jessica wasn't going to thank him out of annoyance/frustration. 

When Jessica found out I bought the gift card with the intention of giving it to Daniel she got angry that I did it without asking. One of the reasons she used was that it's "her neighbor" but I told Jessica that for the time I'm staying here Daniel is equally my neighbor. Jessica further expressed that when I do things like that without asking it makes her feel insignificant. 

I don't want to use it as a justification for everything but she's been in Canada for 2 years now and I think isn't entirely use to people being "neighborly".

Am I an asshole for buying the gift card without consulting Jessica?
