A few months ago, my friends and I had a bridal shower for one of our friends. Anyways, I bought her a pair of novelty hand cuffs as part of her gifts and one of my ex-friends was making fun of me and asked, did you get it from the dollar store? And everyone laughed. The truth was that I did get it from the dollar store, but I didn't want to say it because I knew people would think I was cheap. That group of friends is pretty well off with money and I'm not. Was it rude of her to ask me that?

that girl has said other rude things to me in the past as well that had to do with money. I've had the same winter jacket for a few years now because 1. it functions perfectly well and 2. buying a new one is not a priority. But she made fun of the fact that I had the same one for so long, and she gets a new one every year. And another time when our other friend was getting married, she said something about how if someone spends 30 dollars on an engagement gift, that's really cheap. Her snobbiness is one of the reasons she's not my friend anymore.

Yes, she is rude and low class. Anyone who needs to hurt other people to make themselves feel important has isssues bigger than your finances or sensible approach to living. Try to surround yourself with positive people. Don't even trouble yourself with someone so narrow and ignorant. Just smile a little smile and say something vague. And then, get as far away from the negative person as you can. She's not worth it. But, personally, I think you probably are.
Hang in there. P.S. I have a coat that's probably older than you are. It keeps out the cold and now, it's so old it's BACK in style.
Sing like you know the words, dance like there is no one watching and love like it's never going to hurt.

Yes, she was (is) rude. Good for you for being confidant enough to now consider her a friend. You are being responsible with your money and that will serve you well in life.
If she's really so snide about the dollar store, how did she know they were from there? Next time tell her ' Oh, did you recognize the package?"
Good luck on avoiding this gal till she grows up a little.

Yes. Of course. Even if you did get them at the dollar store, it is rude - and none of her beezwax and you need to tell her that she needs to keep her big fat mouth shut. That was totaly rude. Just ignore them, point your nose in the air anmd show them that u r better thatn them by 80 million miles. And I bet u r not cheap. I have gotten two things from the dollar store for 2 different people, sure they were low priced, but as long as the person liked it, I am not & u r not cheap. My sis calls me cheap, and I know I am not. Don't worry, the only reason she made fun of you was to make u look bad because she is scared of u already looking better than she would. So apparently, one way or another, you are better than her in some way, and she is inmature and can't deal with that.

It wasn't rude it is part of the joke. It's like If someone gave youa nice ring and you saying" Did you get out of a crackerjack box". It's all in joking. SO don't worry who cares where you bought it at justby looking at them, if you have a eye for things you can tell if they are the good kind or cheap kind. And naw it doesn't mean your cheap it's part of the joke.

Look,I believe that was a bit rude,because it's a gift,and normally every body respects the fact that you bought a gift!
And it doesnt matter if it's cheap or expensive.
Anyway,even if she asked you that question with a bad intention just to make others laugh at you..Take it easy,in those occasions,you know your true friend from the "false" one..
Take it easy. "we learn from mistakes"

Well if she said it out loud to you and infront of everyone to embarass you it is rude because she is making fun of the fact that you can't afford things that she can. Haven't they ever heard the expression that it's the thought that counts. You tried and that should be good enough. They have to learn how to appreciate others.

yes, she is saying you are cheap and it was a look-down-on-you comment. She had no right to say so something rude whether or not you bought it at the dollar store. Especially be someone you do not consider your friend, she knew what she was doing.

I would say YES, it was... however, being a bridal shower, and there would be many family members from both sides, I'm sure, you should have created a more appropriate gift. At the dollar store, you could have picked out a basket, couple of nice mugs, bag of coffee, tea & cocoa, silk flowers, and made a nice gift basket. Probably a whole $6 or so. I guess it's the thought that counts....sometimes people don't remember that

Mike Hunt. I used to artwork for a employer the place between the revenues reps got here in in basic terms approximately wetting himself with laughter. He were to work out a customer, a Mr M Hunt yet he did no longer comprehend what his first call grow to be. The receptionist on the workplace greeted our rep and then began to attempt to song down Mr Hunt. It grow to be purely while she called to a colleague "has everybody seen Mike Hunt?" that our rep lost it thoroughly!
