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

Since we're talking about behaviors in a few other threads, I want to share mine. Very recently, a female friend of DH, who is known for being passive aggressive, was chatting with DH and, out of the blue she said, "Dude, your wife has so many bags!" DH's response, "No, only Hermes bags, she sold her other ones. So?" to which she said, "Those are the most expensive! Aren't you concerned about her spending?"

For context - DH is cool with all my purchases. We are married but decided to have separate finances. We both make enough (dare I say, I make more) for our family of three to be able to live comfortably while still saving and spending on things we like without thinking too much about it. Also, spoiler alert: *gasp* I actually paid for the H purchases myself.

I really would love to confront her because I'm not passive aggressive, I'm just aggressive :graucho:, but I probably should just let it go. However, if the opportunity ever presents itself I would tell her that it's the equivalent of me telling her DH that I thinks she eats WAY too much (truth), and isn't he concerned about how much she eats?

Okay, rant over. Thank you for listening.

Ouch! I think that woman might cry if you confront her husband about her eating too much. That woman sounded really petty to me and she might play the victim if you try to get back at her

I know. She’s the type that would not say anything to your face but then talk sh*t about you to a mutual friend. I know something was up when she posted all these pics of the meal she had with us at this super trendy restaurant, then pinged us after the meal saying how much she hated it. It’s almost like she wanted to post the pics to show she actually went there. I can absolutely see her playing the victim as you said.

I know - I don’t think I would tell the husband about her obsessive eating habit :biggrin: but if she makes another comment about my Hermes goodies I will talk to her straight up.

Just remember you are the classy lady.. she is petty and jealous...deep down I bet she is not happy with her life/family or career... she is very envious of you n your family that is why she stirs the pot to see who will poke back at her so she can be the center of attn by playing poor little “victim”

LOL.... that is too funny...:amuse::amuse::amuse: Agree with others, yes she might be jealous.

funny DH said the same thing... but if she was jealous then maybe she can start looking into buying these things too and then, maybe, I can give her some tips on how to score something she actually likes? IDK. the whole thing is just unbelievable. thank goodness for this forum so I can vent :love: and share stories like this. Now it's everyone else's turn!
 
Once, I decided to experiment a bit with my scarves using the Hermes knotting cards and decided to try out the cow boy knot. I really liked it under my Chanel jacket, so I decided to wear it for the day. In the afternoon, I went to one of my local consignment stores. The minute I entered the store, one of the sales lady started laughing. At first, I did not understand why, but then she went to her colleague and told her, "look, it looks like she is wearing a bib!" The other then also started to laugh. I was not only shocked by how rude they were, but also how they were not even trying to hide it! To make things worse, I was the only customer in the store. It truly felt as if we were back to being in high school. I then decided to leave and have never stepped foot into the store. I just do not understand the need for people to by rude and mean.

You know, I think it is so disrespectful of your relationship with your DH that his friend is trying to bait him into talking about you in an unfavorable way. I think I would ask DH to handle it, and be sure that he knows what that means. My DH and I defend each other in almost every circumstance, it would take a lot for me to turn on him in public because of someone else's words, even if in private we discussed it further. I'm not sure if that makes sense when written out, but it seems to me that she was planting seeds and seeing how far she could push it. If you think DH can take care of it, let him. You don't needs this BS stress.
& good for him for sticking up for you in round #1! ;)

Wow. I think a Yelp review is appropriate in this instance. I am so sorry you were treated this way.

she is totally jealous! it is annoying and hurtful until you remember it is only people who feel bad about themselves that feel a need to bring others down :hrmm:

my fiancé would have had some comments for that person....like you and your DH, we are a TEAM :biggrin:

I agree with everybody, the first thing that I thought of when I was reading your rant was that she is jealous. I would let this one slide but be prepared for a rather scathing burn the next time she says something like that. :angel:

I agree with @rainneday on the Yelp review. It's so unprofessional considering they are a customer oriented business.
