What is the use of saying something when it's useless and ... possibly meaningless?

What can it mean if you bought something someone else was planning to surprise you with and that someone told you they were planning to buy it for you AFTER you've bought it?


I am not good at hiding my feelings, much less maintaining a poker-face when facing a burst bubble.


In layman's terms, WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO AND GET THAT SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO GET FOR HIM!!! . . . Stupid, stupid, stupid. Feels like I've been robbed of a chance to put a brilliant smile on his face.

SOBS!
