I think it's a question of priorities, and making certain things matter more than they really should.
I don't know man. Back in my day people didn't get so bent about things of such little consequence. Somebody "spoils" something, you'd call 'em a homo and give 'em a shoulder punch, and that's where it ended. "I'll never speak to you again!" just comes off like a kids' tantrum.
Simply more evidence that many people nowadays have an imbalanced response to any and all "disappointment". Yes, taking the air out of someone's balloon just to get attention is immature. But so is getting legitimately upset over things that, let's face it, don't matter.
I can see never talking to someone again if they stole from you or f*cked your wife. Most other things shouldn't be taken so seriously.
