"How much you pay for it"

[Anonymous 0]

I hate when people ask me how much I paid for something then insult me for paying that for much for said item. Just ranting anyone else hate when this happens?

“I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less” is what I usually say when people pull that s~~~ on me. I’ve paid top dollar to go to the super bowl, world cup games, euro games, escorts, you name it.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

In answer to how much I paid for something. ..
Start making references and rambling about the cost of seemingly unrelated things. .
Baffle them with bulls~~~ and don’t answer the question!
F~~~ with them.
Start with oil prices affecting shipping costs and climate variations interfering with job growth. .you get the picture. .
It’s fun to see their faces scrunch up trying to process the load of s~~~ your giving them. .

It’s one of those “quality problems” you might have. They’re just a side effect of you doing well in life. If that worries you – great – it must mean you don’t have more pressing problems to focus your worries about.
It kinda sounds like you finding things to bitch and complain about when you should just relax and enjoy life.
As much as I can understand how frugal people can p~~~ you off trying to suggest you’re overpaying on something, you kind of sound like a kind of person who would complain how much the clutch job was on their Ferrari or how hard it is to find good help to maintain your vacation home – I am not even sure which one sounds worse to me. It’s “concealed bragging” – and it sounds childish

I just ignore those sorts of people. I know I’ll definitely have to ignore them once I get out on my own.

Whenever people do that, it’s usually because they’re jealous they couldn’t afford to pay for something.

Ugh… I know a few people like that…
I respond with “X dollars, but they had a used one marked $20 off for cheap f~~~ers like yourself.”
That usually shuts them up…

It depends on who is asking. A lot of times I’ll say “I don’t remenber”. Of course I remember. If you have to know, Google it.

Ask them if they think their company pays them enough money. If not, tell them they’re working too hard for their pay. They should ask for a raise.

In the “old world” it was considered rude to ask how much something cost, for exactly the reasons explained in this thread. Someone will always get butt-hurt that you can afford something they can’t or got something cheaper.

Religion, politics, sex and money, all no no’s conversation wise.

Those same cheap assholes will spend a whole day, and $40 in petrol, to save $20 on something, I wouldn’t worry about other peoples opinions.

I bought my cousin a small teddy bear when I was a kid that cost $13, even though it was tiny. I remember telling her how much it was and saying something like, “You better treasure that because of its price”. Needless to say, I got a smack from a friend, who said that you’re not supposed to tell somebody how much a present costs. Once I got older I saw where he was coming from.

Seems that those days are long gone, along with every other bleeding day that we once knew of.

Yep!

EDIT:
Sometimes it makes sense to buy quality and make it last. Other times, it makes sense to buy the cheapest crap you can find. It’s a judgement call ideally based on a cost/benefit analysis.

It never makes sense to let some t~~~ shame you into buying something you do not need.

lol My dad used to leave the price tag on gifts so I could see how much he spent on me. He would also have to spend the same amount on a gift for my sister when it her birthday, it was just so contrived it put me off gift giving and receiving for life.

I never get asked what I spend on anything, because I buy most of my stuff online. If someone where to ask me, I’d tell them not to worry about it, because it doesn’t concern them.

What I don’t like is at Christmas time, my dad tells me what each of my gifts cost, and I try to tell him I don’t want to hear it, but he insists on telling me anyway. He bases things on cost instead of thought and love for his son.

This is something that has always bugged me and I have the perfect response to it when people ask.

Tell them the price and when they insult you or say you are stupid or crazy to spend so much money on it.

Come back and say do you have problem with your own self esteem. They’ll be like what. Then explain what ever you bought you’re happy with it and they should shut the f~~~ up.

You want to see someone mouth drop that’s a way to do it. I’ve done this and you may lose a friend but ask yourself is someone who insults you about what you bought for whatever price are they a friend anyways?

The problem is some people think they are an expert on everything and they need to boost their own self esteem for their own insecurities.

I just tell them the truth that I get paid 26k.
