I would usually agree with this saying, but it was from the dumpster. Also OP said it was a belated birthday gift, so he forgot. It does not seem to me like he thought much about her or her special day.

It was sarcasm.

Seeing he got dumped over it - I suppose the thought DID count, just not in the good way.

When you ended it with " ...?" you came across as more of an idiot than someone using sarcasm.

It's the thought that counts...and he didn't put much in it.

You do realize just because it was a belated gift does not mean he forgot he could of been out of town so he couldn't give her a gift the day of

24, I don't think he got dumped over that. She dumped him previously.

Yeah I can see why you'd dump him..

Appreciate recycling. he was gifting the earth as well as you.

they both were dumped.

Wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't tried

Well... one good reason is that he got it from a dumpster.

hes asking why was the tiger in the dumpster in the first place

it probably wasn't. I bet the friend was jealous and said that just to get them to break up.
