Ladies...Any RUDE/CATTY/SNIDE/NASTY Remarks about your Birkins or ANY Hermès Purchase

[OKComputer]

Thanks Leuleu, Yoshi, Fab41, meowmix, bagidiotic, loves and anyone else I may have missed for your thoughts and comments on my not-so-pleasant experience.

That would sting based on your work-friendship. Yikes, pure and untethered jealousy is running riot here.
Whatever happened to being happy for someone's new big purchase?

This. Exactly this.What's worse is that she isn't merely a work-friend, we actually do socialize (and with SOs included) outside of work.

This proves that she was never really your friend. You are better off rid of her.

Yup. I only care to surround myself with genuine friends. I don't care if they are just a handful, but quality >>> quantity.

It is shocking to learn which friends have an inner green monster. Not being the jealous type, I never see it coming.

Did you post pics of your new B somewhere? I want to see your new beauty.

I am rarely, if ever, jealous of anyone. I may be envious in that I wish the same for myself, but never ever ever jealous. I am always happy for my friends.

+1, would love to see it!

Indeed, I did! Here is my thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes/on-cloud-h-939947.html

Ugh. I abhor envy. I regret to hear this happened to you. Shake it off, and show off your fabulous bag. Don't let her eclipse your joy. There are dreadful people out there. :smh:

Thank you. For a very long time, I measured my own self-worth by what others thought of me. The reason why my 30's are (so far) my best decade is because I truly do not give a rat's *** about what anyone thinks of me any longer. I do what makes me happy. I strive to be a good person all around, and that is all I can do. If someone has an issue with me, then I will let them sort it out as it rarely has anything to do with me directly.

OMG! I feel really bad for her...wrong attitude and turning away a good friend ..her loss. I wonder if she was able to sleep that night

I truly do feel bad for her. She must be in a very unhappy and bitter place. But I've always been there for her, regardless of what is going on in my life. I am supportive, but I am not a doormat.

 

[OKComputer]

Shocking! So there was no context/back story to her rudeness and/or chance she was being even "joking rude"?!

I hope she didn't damper your happiness - yay for your B!

I had the same thought, that something more than meets the eye must be going on here. Perhaps her Ex's new love carries a B? The fact that someone else's joy would ruin her day is just sad.

It truly is sad, it is apparent she is an unhappy state of mind. No back-story to this, except for the fact that she is a constant complainer/negative nancy. I love to kvetch as much as the next person, but I take just the same amount of time to count my blessings. I have never once say anything positive or happy. It's always something to ***** about. Yesterday it just so happened to be me.

I totally know what you mean. I have dealt with someone like that in the past. They suck all the energy out of you. Send her get well soon card lol.

I can really relate to this thread! As many compliments as I've received on my bag, I've probably gotten twice the amount of criticism and shade. Definitely goes back to the saying, "If you don't have something nice to say..."
I think we've got one life to live and we should do what makes us happy and carry whatever bag we please.
With that said, I am thankful for this forum where I can talk about my bag without judgement or eyes rolling (at least not that I can see &#128521

I haven't used my picotin that I bought 2 days ago but I did take lots of pictures of it. I was sharing it with a friend who is also into bags (she has a gold evelyne III gm) and then she just looked at the picture, turned her back then said "it's so ugly." I'm so crushed... i haven't even used it yet 😢

Noooo! I'm sorry to hear this. I must have a different definition of friendship. Even if I thought something a friend purchased was ugly, I would never say it and dampen her joy.

This is a beautiful, vibrant bag that makes YOU happy. That is all that matters.

Get out there with your bag and use it when you see her as often as possible.

People can be rude and when it comes from a " friend" it hurts more. Even if I wouldn't like a certain H bag (honestly Evie is not for me, the holes are not to my liking) I would n e v e r say anything negative, with the Evie I can give a compliment about the colour or how it looks on someone or the leather....Some people don't have a filter, always project things from their perspective or simply lack manners, something that really bothers me and makes me raise my eyebrows.

My most recent bag is a pico in pm, just carried her today and I love this bag! Carrying it more than my Bs and planning to buy another when I find the perfect one. Enjoy your pico[emoji173]️ and please carry her the next time you meet your " friend".

Thank you for your kind words, Oryx and Serva. Maybe next time I should be more careful about sharing my bag. I will just post it here on the forum and enjoy it with all of you who share the same passion for H!!!

So 24 hours after receiving my first B, I have already encountered cattiness. I brought it to work, primarily because I just can't stop staring at it. I showed it to a couple of bag-loving colleagues - we share the love of beautiful leather goods. All except one have been extremely happy for me.

The one who wasn't was pretty shocking. We share a love for fashion, and frequently show-and-tell our new purchases. We travel for work together often, and try and squeeze in an hour of shopping together in between meetings whilst away. So it came as a huge surprise when she flat out turned away and walked out of my office and said she didn't care to see my B. Her response was - and I quote - "Please don't ruin my Monday morning'"

Ouch. Bitter much?

How can she face you and work with you every day after that? She couldn't just pretend to be happy for you for a minute....lol she probably is embarrassed at how jealous and bitter she acted now.

Oh my goodness! What a nasty, awful person to say that to you! Your lovely bag ISN'T ugly, but your friend's attitude is!! There are plenty of people here on TPF who ADORE picotins. Go and enjoy your great new bag and try not to let that ridiculous comment affect you!

She's actually a nice person... I was thinking maybe she was having a bad day... but thanks so much for your encouraging words, it made me feel a whole lot better!

Apologies, I'm sure she is usually a nice person, but reading what she said to you got me mad on your behalf! Hopefully it was just her having a bad day, but even then, to me there really is no excuse for saying something hurtful like that to a friend. Just don't let her comments dampen your excitement over your lovely new purchase

That's just rude... I would definitely rethink about a friendship with her. Even if it could have been a joke, I think walking out of the room made it even more disgusting... I feel like this is why I don't have many girlfriends. So many ladies are so catty sometimes...

I'm sorry this happened to you. If my friend showed me her new B, the first thing I'd do is ooh and aww at it and then probably ask if I could touch it XD

Be proud you got your B. It's quite a task to get one. Enjoy your new baby to the fullest =] I hope she says sorry one day. That's the least she can do...
