why are people so rude?

Elle · Hermes

OMG! I can't believe some people! Why people make those assumptions, much less feel entitled to SAY THEM OUTLOUD, is just totally beyond me. And of course, you can never think of a snappy comeback because your so in shock. Gaaaah!

So shall we brainstorm an all-purpose, put-them-in-their-place comeback?

that was appallingly rude and tasteless of her! I wonder what she would have done if you had said to her, "that comment is appallingly rude and tasteless. Were you raised by wolves?" The sad thing is, like LMonet said, I never think fast enough to give people like that their due--I am too busy being in shock over their rudeness to put them in their place.

Oh, don't worry about her. Yes it's rude, but she's obviously prostituted herself out for stuff & is stuck in a loveless marriage. I hate people like that.

OMG! I can't believe someone would SAY something like that! That is HORRIBLE! I hope she went home and felt ashamed of what she said.

I find these kinds of comments so aggravating. Why do people feel like it's their place to say anything at all about your financial situation, or your relationship with your parents? Both of those things are pretty personal and no one's business, especially a stranger. I used to have this happen a lot too, and I was always blown away by people's disrespect. It's so frustrating to work your ass off to buy something nice as a treat for yourself and then to have someone assume that mommy and daddy bought it for you because you're a princess.

Okay, and slightly off topic, but also, who the HELL admits to someone that they married someone for money?!?!?! I mean, that's basically what she was telling you. I can't believe someone would say that either.

People are awful. What I find amusing is that she is perfectly ok to be condesending about how your parents spoil you. Um hello you bought it yourself, and when you point this out her defense has to do with it being ok for a man to buy you things. How is it more socially acceptable to get expensive things from a man than from your parents. She even made it sound like you buying it for yourself was somehow even less acceptable than the gift alternatives. Pshcho!
