My wife and I are huge Vegas Golden Knights fans. My parents and her parents are huge fans as well. We always watch the games and try to go to as many as we can. This past season was great for us. To win the Stanley Cup was amazing and we were all celebrating and so excited. I was outside the arena during the final game and at the celebration parade later that week. At the parade they handed out rally towels that had the logo and said things like 2023 Stanley cup champions. I grabbed some extras for friends and family that couldn’t make it. I planned 1 for my family, 1 for my parents, 1 for my in laws, and a couple others for friends.

The day after the parade, the captain of the team was on my side of town signing autographs. I showed up 3 hours early for this and stood in the Vegas summer sun for the experience of meeting him and getting things signed. I was sweating like a pig. I got a hat, a shirt, and a towel signed. I planned on making a shadow box for the shirt and towel and putting the hat in a case in my office at home. I thought it would be super cool. I gave every one their towels except for my in laws because they were sick, so I waited.

Well today my wife calls and asks if I would be okay giving my in laws the signed towel because we already have the hat and shirt and they’ve been so sick that they could use a pick me up. They love the team and getting something signed would be really special to them. I said no, I’m the one who waited in that super long line for this. They weren’t sick the day he was signing things, they could have gone, but they didn’t. I don’t want to give it up. I had plans for it. My wife says I’m being rude and should give it to them and we can keep the unsigned one.

AITA for not wanting to give it up?
