After Having the Audacity to Ask for an Expensive, Free Gift from a Stranger, This Bride Decides to Lash Out When He Refuses

Marriages are hectic, and there are a lot of things to manage. You must have heard crazy wedding stories about the dress, relatives, or eloping, but this one is entirely different.

Everyone expects some gifts from their friends and family. However, you cannot go and ask for things to be done for free just because it's your wedding.

You might be wondering who even does that, but to your surprise, there are people who think you owe them something. The audacity of such individuals is baffling and almost laughable.

The following post is about one such person that the Reddit user Leviathan41911 encountered. An unknown bride texted him to ask if he could print the wheelbarrows he made for his own wedding.

She found out about it from her friend and wanted the same for her wedding as a present for her guests. So she contacted the OP, and when he told her the price, she was shocked and began arguing that it was too costly.

The OP broke down the cost structure and procedure, but she insulted him and insisted that he do it for free instead as a gift.

The Redditors backed the OP and praised him for being so calm and handling the situation well, even when the customer was treating him poorly. Continue reading to know the whole story.

The Story of the Wedding Beggar Begins

The bride got the number from her friend and inquired about the wheelbarrows she had shown. The print guy understood what she was talking about and sent her an image of the same wheelbarrow.

It Was All Going Well

The wheelbarrows were confirmed, and the bride wanted a lot of them to give to her guests. So he asked her to confirm the order and gave her a heads-up that it would get expensive.

The Bride Was Shocked at the Prices

She wanted to order 250 of them with a preferred design. But when the 3D print guy quoted the cost, she was completely shocked.

He explained that it was made from an expensive material and that it takes time; that's why it was costly. He also mentioned a less expensive alternative.

He Gave Her a Good Deal... But

She didn't know any better about getting them modeled, so he suggested ordering them online. She didn't want to get them online because then they wouldn't be customized.

He offered her a straightforward deal to do it for $2000, even though it cost around $3000. However, she thought he was ripping her off because it was for a wedding.

She Wanted It to Be a Wedding Gift

The bride became a bit rude and assumed that he was overcharging. He had to break down the entire procedure and cost.

But she was still not convinced and claimed it was a scam. So he had to break it down even further.

She Was Not Ready to Listen to His Reasoning

He explained that with a $2 per hour charge, it would cost $2625 for her order. Moreover, there was also a charge for processing and cleaning, which added another $1875.

The total for printing non-stop for 54.68 days would be $4718. But she argued that it was just for the printing time and not his efforts.

He Added a Wedding Gift to the Offer

To address her rude objection, he explained why his printing time adds to the cost. He offered her another option to make a model for $25 that could be replicated with molds.

She didn't know anyone who could do it for her. He also offered to include free colored lithos as a wedding gift.

She Demanded It All to Be a Wedding Gift

He sent her the picture of the said colored litho. Then the bride said that the print guy gives her friend things for free, so he should do it for her as well.

Rudeness on Denial

When he disagreed because he couldn't do it for free, she insulted him. But he still left a deal for her if she changed her mind.

She Was the Wedding Beggar, Said the Redditors

People shared their opinions on the whole situation. They pointed out that the bride was unnecessarily rude even after the guy gave her a great deal.

Yeah, It Was a Cheap Deal

Someone pointed out that printing is not that cheap, and certainly not cheap enough to be done for free.

It's Not a Social Service

It's not like they are doing something out of this world, and it's not feasible to expect freebies.

Nothing Comes for Free Anyway

That's how it is supposed to be. You don't get free stuff just because you are getting married.

The Audacity

Firstly, it's odd enough to ask for a wedding gift from a stranger. But she was being very demanding and rude for no reason at all.

Yeah, It Got Rude Too Quickly

It was the guy who handled it calmly; otherwise, it would have resulted in a huge argument.

Maybe She Doesn't Know Math

If it were $40000, she would have lost it completely.

She Was Acting Like a Know-It-All... But

Yes, he was kind enough to tell her about cheaper alternatives and include a gift. But she didn't deserve it at all.

She Lost a Great Deal

He went to great lengths to break down the cost and offer a huge discount. But due to her rudeness, she lost a great deal.

Patience of a Saint

He deserves praise for handling it so well. God knows how someone else would have reacted in that situation.

The bride is not always right, and this one just proved it. Who made this rule that you can expect freebies just because you are getting married?

It's weird and unethical, plus she was so rude to him. If you also think this isn't right, share this post and warn your friends and family about such people.
