i always tell people theirs is fake.. but not straight out. like this one time i met one of my friend's girlfriends for the first time, and saw her fake speedy, and asked her... "wow your speedy is big! what size is that?" and she said, "oh uhh... ", so I said, "it's a fake size right?" and she got red and said, "yeah.. it's fake.". hah. totally random person that I don't know and flat out told her!

which goes to show you how i tell my own friends.. my friends know better than to buy/wear fake around me.

Last night I carried my new speedy out for the first time and I ran into a friend/ex co worker who noticed it. She always is carrying a damier papillon - which is a fake - and she was like "ooh, nice - i love mine". She then asked me how much I paid, and I really didn't want to say but just ended up saying 400 (she is always asking how much I pay for things - digi cams, jeans, coats, and I hate it!!!) and she replied "oh yeah? i got mine for 150, through a deal". I didn't and wouldn't tell her that hers is fake, it's not my business and she can stay happy thinking it's the real thing - but she was saying it like I got ripped off and she knew better to get a good deal on hers, and giving me this know-it-all condescending look! I just smiled through it but was feeling more like this --->:oh:

I would do this:
Invite her on a girls day out. Go to lunch....then Suggest you go to the LV boutique and look around. Let one of the SA's do your dirty work. BAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That would be worth a lunch!

lol you girls are too funny! I wish I was as brave that I could just tell them theirs was fake! But since I can't, at least I learned some ways to deal with ppl who always ask how much I pay for stuff. My bf's family owns a restaurant that I sometimes help out at, and everytime I go in there everyone from the busboy to the waitress to the counter guys ask me how much I pay for things from the big things (like rent) to the medium (like electronics) to small things (like sneakers).
Sometimes I say 'i'd rather not say' for the bigger things like rent, and to a few i've told it's not their business (they got in a huge huff about it). But there is this one guy there who anytime, no matter what I'm wearing if it's old or new, will say something like "how much was that?? $25? $10?" . or like yesterday when he saw my shoes "puma??? how much, like 19.99??"

and selena -- love yr idea! lol
 
My dad doesn't understand my love of LV and thinks it's a "waste" of money :weird: . He's always bugging me to find out how much I paid (mainly so he can lecture me about sensible spending afterward) :wacko: so tell your "friend" to bug off, if she gets to be really annoying. I just tell my dad it's none of his business and he doesn't like it, but it works.


No one has the right to judge you for your purchases, or to use any information you provide to make themselves feel better. Some of the responses in this thread are simply hysterical, but your approach is sensible and kind. But don't be afraid to step it up- it seems like she's in strict competition with you!!

That's funny. Buah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!:laugh:
 
I hate it when people ask me how much my purses are, especially my boyfriend's friends. It's so uncomfortable. Their initial reaction is " What you paid $1,000 for a bag?, that's ridiculous!" I just don't know how to react so I just smile. I freakin' hate that.
 
With friends like this who needs enemies?
Also, how nosy and inappropriate, you don't go asking people the price of things like that period, it's just rude.
I'd just pretend like I didn't hear the question and change the subject.
 
I would have just told her the exact price I paid for (after all, I have nothing to hide), although I wouldn't appreciate such nosy questions first of all...then when she made the comment about how she only paid a small amount for hers as if I did something wrong paying retail price (which would have irked me a bit there), I would have said 'Well, it's because it's real'. (which would imply that hers is a fake w/out sounding mean or snobby).
 
You should just tell hers is fake. Don't tell me she didn't know genuine LV stuff doesn't cost so cheap!! And surprise, surprise!! She seems to be so proud carrying a fake and not ashamed to tell she bought it so cheap!!! Let's see if she can said that to a LV staff. Next time, tell her yours is real and expensive. Then, shrug off.
