Vent - beware!

So ok Im going to try going about this in the nicest way possible and without mentioning any names. Its not going to be easy but here we go kiddies and enjoy the ride! WTF is up with people who feel that just because someone they know has something they have to have the same thing? I mean really. Ive known people who really didnt want a new car until their friend got one and then they had to rush out and get one bigger and better than the one their friend just got. They dont think about the fact that they really cant afford the new car or need the new car. All they think about is how they can 1-up their friend. Or a new bird. Friend gets a new bird and BAM u have to go get a new bird. U have no room for a new bird and u really dont have the money for vet care for a new bird and have no idea how to care properly for this bird but because someone u know got one then u have to get one too. I just dont get it! I mean Im all for trying new things and sure sometimes u have to get the idea/inspiration somewhere but people please think long and hard before just jumping into shit! It isnt fair to the finance company who gave u that new car only to find out u cant afford it or to that bird u promised to give a good home to for u to decide ur “allergic” or “its mean” or u “dont have time for it” or “vet care costs a fortune” blah blah blah. There r enough cars in repo and enough birds in shelters already. Enough said!
