Real disrespectful to Phensiʀ if you ask me.

I don't plan on respecting Fnresnirs anyway.

In-universe, Bilbo lied about how he got the ring, probably already under the effect of the ring and wanting to appear more as its legitimate owner

I love how everyone who wants the Ring make excuses for wanting it:

Isildur: It's a trophy.
Déagol: I found it.
Sméagol: It's a birthday gift.
Bilbo: I won it in a game, fair and square.
Frodo: It's my burden, given by the Council.
Boromir: My people need its power.
Saruman: I could make the world just right with it. It's for the Greater Good, I promise. Also I'm Gandalf's boss, I should have a better Ring than him.
Samwise: I can share Master Frodo's burden.
Grishnàk: I want it, **** you!
