Woman Vows To Replace Her Friend’s Ruined $70 Pillow, But Offers A Thrifted Version, Owner Fumes
When I was a kid, if I did something naughty at home (and I was a pretty mischievous kid, to be honest), I would always be the first to admit it. Even if I was in for a punishment—regardless of the fact that I had admitted it. Even if I knew that by keeping quiet, I would have avoided the problems altogether.
Well, that’s just how I was raised… It’s likely that the user u/ThePillowCrisis, the author of the story we’re about to tell you today, was raised by her parents in the same style. At least, it was her heartfelt admission to her friend that she had ‘switched’ her pillow that caused a real scandal. Intrigued? Then let’s read on!

The author of the post, a young woman, recently attended her friend’s housewarming party, where she spilled wine on a new throw pillow

In a thrift store, however, the author found the same pillow for $12, and bought it for her friend

The friend refused to accept the pillow, saying that thrifted furnishings are actually gross, and drama ensued

This is why you never tell people ESPECIALLY sh*t people. When you get a good deal. Just play it off like nothing happened or was different. Also "Wendy" sounds like a genuinely awful person.

It's reasonable to have a rule not to buy soft furnishings from thrift stores. Completely. However, if that were actually the case, she wouldn't have kept it. But in the end, all this is over a small pillow. As someone who wants her home to be the main place to hang out, she should expect things to get broken or drinks to get spilled. In that respect, a pillow/cushion is nothing. She should be glad it wasn't the sofa or the carpet.

It's not about "small pillow" - it's about damaging 70$ worth of someone's stuff. It doesn't matter how big is the pillow or do we, outsiders, can justify spending this much. If someone broke a chair or a vase or some appliance, it's valid to want them to replace that. And it's OK to not want to hug or lay down on a pillow with unknown history! It may be good enough to put on the floor and use there after washing, but people may feel uncomfortable using it in other ways. And again: it's not about the pillow, it's about 70$ out of someone's pocket.

It seems to me that people here are hating the "pillow owner" just because she had the "nerve" to spend $ 70 on a pillow and, since it's a new item, want it replaced with a new one by the friend who ruined it. How dare she! Also the fact that it was an accident is irrelevant. If you (or the people/animals you are guardian of) make a damage, you have to pay it. Being drunk is not an excuse, I would say that it make it even less of an accident since you purposely make yourself drunk and so more "distracted". Here we are talking about friends, so the owner could have settle for a cheaper/used product. But she is not required to. Feel free to argument why I'm wrong
