I feel bad for all the nice people who live in your area being so cruelly stereotyped like this. I am just shocked. This is just a mean spirited thread and I'm just shocked that its in TPF. Maybe you don't mean to be so harsh and judgemental (just because someone lives in a "double-wide" doesn't make them subhuman) but your choice of words is a bit disturbing. A stranger gave you a compliment. The people in town are less sophisticated than you are. So what? They are definitely more friendly. You are in essence laughing behind their backs. Thats tolerance?
I think this happens a lot - I've been asked where I got my nice BULOVA watch (when I was either wearing a Rolex or an Omega). I could tell they liked my watches since they went on about it for a bit... although not anywhere in the same league, I gave them credit for trying to make a compliment and just nicely let them know where you could buy one!
he meant well...
He was trying to be so friendly- thank fully you did not crush his spirits- to some people Coach is so expensive and he was so proud that he could tell a designer bag.. lol
Did you tell them where to buy the Rolex or Omega? Have they ever came back and mentioned that the Bulovas have really increased in price over the years?
