If you're buying multi-packs of bog-standard underwear as a kinky gift, then you're doing it wrong (unless there's something REALLY kinky going on).
I'll take the 5th, but I will say, never from Amazon.

It's an especially crappy spot to be in when you've done something wrong, admitted to it and apologized for it but to still have people mad at you over something else you didn't do.
We played Catan after work last week and I was such an asshat that as soon as I started walking home I felt terrible about it and later apologized. I'm not a patient person and especially so when it's a work night and I want to go home and I have learned this about myself and will no longer play Catan after work. I spent the night *****ing about how long the turns were taking and making everyone miserable. In my defense, 15 minute turn times are unacceptable but at the same time, that's Catan and if I can't deal with that, I shouldn't play it.
So that happened and I apologized for it.
But my friend is mad because he blames me that this girl he likes and her friends declined to play with us. This is despite the fact that as we were organizing the game in a chat hours beforehand, the girl and her friends had all stated they weren't going to play Catan. No pun intended, but it was never in the cards for her to play with us - she was quite direct in saying she wouldn't play it and would instead play other games, which she did. But because I was an ass all night, my friend blames me for her not playing Catan and seems to have forgotten the entire long chat where she said she wasn't going to play Catan hours before we showed up.
Also, I took the initiative to set up the game on a table but one of the other players (not my friend with the crush) threw a fit over my choice in the table and picked a fight over it. I had already set up the board when he complained and I did argue that I didn't want to move it but in the end, I did end up moving the board to appease that guy. But my friend blames me for that fight as well and said that I scared the girl off by being a curmudgeon.
I don't know what to say. Yes, I was an ass and he is right to be mad over it. At the same time, I'm not the reason he didn't get to chat up his crush. But arguing that point too forcefully is only going to make him dislike me more, so I am stuck with the blame for his failure to pick up social queues. But I do deserve ridicule for being a jerk, so I guess it's all just karma.
I apologized to him for being a douchenozzle and that's when he dropped the bomb that he blamed me for the girl not playing which really took me aback. I pointed out she had said she wasn't going to play but he ignored that and I can tell he's still mad at me so I have to let it go. And of course I get no credit for being self-aware of my own douchenozzleness and for owning up to it and apologizing but I was an ass so yeah it's karma.

I feel too thin-skinned for life these past couple of weeks. Several of my friends have hurt my feelings and I just need to deal with it like an adult and not be devastated about it.

You can only do so much. At least you realize you made some errors. That's more than most.
Friends will get over it in time or they're not really your friends.
You could volunteer to find out what games the girl would be willing to play and then arrange it.
And you should never have to over-apologize, (unless a spouse is involved.
)

If I had that to spend on a house, I wouldn't spend it in Vancouver.
Same mailing address?But we have separate accounts under totally different email addresses.
Or maybe it's some keyword in a post somewhere that got noticed by a bot they've got crawling around to see what people are interested in (interest being defined as something you mention, not necessarily because you're really into it).
