Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I don't buy anyone in my family (immediate and extended) or friends a present on their birthday. I always make sure I see them or call on their birthday and if we go out make sure to pay for meal/drinks/whatever.

 I just don't see the big deal in buying someone something they probably don't really need or want just for that temporary joy of opening a gift.

I 100% don't expect a gift on my birthday and tell everyone not to get me one.

Am I the asshole?
