Thanks, euromutt!
If only we could say what we REALLY feel. But I don't want to stoop to their level by voicing my own opinions so blatantly out loud to their faces.!!!
Thanks, euromutt!
I've inherited voicing my opinion from my mother. It's not a good thing. I always say what's on my mind! I've been keeping it under control though.
1.) When my bf's best friend said that my wristlet/wallet was cheap and tacky *rolls eyes* I forgot his exact words but that was the gist of it. Keep your comments to yourself damnit.
2.) When my friend asked me what my bf got me for xmas (should have really said none of their business when I think about it now). Then she went on to say how he should have at least gotten me (forgot what brand she recommended..but enter lower tiered handbag or cheap, small monogrammed wristlet here) after all of our years together. She made my bf and I feel "bad" as if we need $$$ to evaluate our love. Then my bf said that he WOULD have bought me the $2000+ Chloe paraty from nordstrom after his winnings (which he really did intend on doing since he knows that I love it, but I wanted him to pay off his college debts sooner and declined the gift) Then she said that "look we dont like Chloe here okay." I guess she meant khloe kardashian and thought that was the handbag? Oh wells, I like to think that I have the last laugh since it's not my fault that she doesnt know other beautiful, high end designers beside lv, chanel, etc.

# 2 is HILARIOUS, especially the final comment!!!
A guy at work asked me if I carry my chihuahua in my Speedy (I don't have a chihuahua). I guess it's a semi offensive comment but could be worse.
Hey Ladies,
I dont know why but in general I am often very speechless when I have an experience with a rude person.Always totally shocked because I never ever expect rudeness and lowbrow comment. This is not what my parents taught me and this is not the environment I have been used to.
Example: A male co-worker baught his girlfriend a new bag for Christmans(certain brand the GF was looking for). I know the brand and I dont like their bags. He was telling is to our group.
My comment was " Oh thats nice that you bought your girlfriend this bag, she surely will love it".
Off course I could say this brand is low quality from my experience but it is not my business, not my money and I have not been asked for any quality advise for his purchase before.
In the opposite: I was talking with another coworker about a purse from a luxury brand that I have recently purchased and that certain male coworker just chimed and his comment " Oh these handbags of that brand are sooooooooo ugly, the ugliest I have ever seen in my life. This is just only for old women without taste or any people who live from welfare and carry those fakes. Hahha we always are laughing about women with those bags hahhahaa. People who pay for those bags are soooooo stupid and idiots.Hahahahahhahha hahhahah"
I was so speechless. I really could'nt say any word.
What should I reply ? Is there anything to say ? Insulting my taste, m person, my intelligence (obviously I am stupid ?) and insulting other people ( old ladies, people from welfare line).
This is not the behaviour I am used to.

I wouldn't respond at all. If that's truly what he said, nothing you say will change his mind. His brain is far too small to comprehend a logical response. Let him ramble about nothing and enjoy your bags
my friends sometimes seem to get mad at me when they see I have a new bag saying things like "oh my god another one" and comment on how expensive they are and how they would never spend all that money and don't I have enough bags by now etc. Then now Christmas is coming one of those friends said that if her bf asks me what she wants for christmas to tell him she wants an lv speedy!
Thanks. Looking back, I should have came up with a snarky remark such as "If you would read more fashion magazines, maybe you'll know that it's a $2000+ high end handbag." Sometimes, I think that friends are great to have around, but they always try to sneak in an discreet insult when they can. I guess that applies to anyone really.
I get shocked sometimes when it comes to nasty comments as well. This guy is beyond rude..Maybe next time you should reply with something like, "For a guy, you surely do have a lot of time to talk about purses and girly things. Shouldn't you be watching sports instead of....Wait, are you gay?"
I've had numerous insults on the lines of "I'd never pay that much on a handbag" and "Is that real?". Being the motormouth that I am, I usually counter with something that shuts them up in a second...
One friend cracked me up, though; her first reaction to my new goatskin Mulberry was "A leather bag?! Leather is MURDER!", from there she went on to "OOOMG you paid too much! That's a crazy amount of money!" (too much=less than 300 on a pristine Mulberry that now sells for almost 800?) and the play ended up in her smooshing and stroking the smelling the leather, telling me how absolutely lovely and divine it was - she looked like she wanted to roll on it like a cat would frolic on catnip!
The insults I can deal with, but jealousy is another matter. When my fore-mentioned Mulberry was new to me and I took it with me to work, some nice colleague of mine actually (and intentionally, since it was impossible it happened by accident) tried to harm my bag! We had discussed my pretty new bag earlier in the office, and as I took my bag out of the drawer we kept our handbags in, there was a pen mark drawn across it. Luckily, it came off the light colored leather with the help of l'Occitane hand cream...heads would have rolled if it had not!

I don't think it is envy. More likely, it's people not being able to understand and therefore respect the choices others make in life. Of course there are envious people out there, but mostly it goes down to having different priorities and interests. Not all people can mind their own business well enough not to interfere with others'...
