rudeness!

OMG...my boss asked how much the per plate was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone else at my work asked how much my band was! RUDE!

I dont mind if my friends ask....none of them have been too nosey tho.

But one of my friends has asked what everything costed....and she asked how much my raise was...how much my house was....everything....RUDE!

yup and its so friggin annoyingggggggg

omg my mom does this - and sometimes she guesses - and i get really nervous, i dont want to lie to her but at the same time i dont want her to know how much we are spending because she will either think that we are nuts or she will worry - but she really has no clue how much things cost either - so her guesses are always really really low

I get this a lot about my purses. FH just bought me a new Gucci bag for my birthday that I have been lusting after for a long time. As soon as I bring it into the office everyone is making comments, 'oooh that looks expensive...' or some of the men will flat out ask me how much it was.

I hate that. I think it is so rude to ask people questions about money or how much they pay for things MYOB, geez.

haha- tell her it costs a million dollars
Maybe she wants to make and sell them or something, but i would just look it up online before i hounded someone i knew for a price they didnt want to divulge

my grandmother asked a few times in a round about way what our wedding costs (like 'oh, it must cost a lot of money' and 'why dont u just put it towards a house, you will never make the $ back') and i told her we will be just fine and dont worry about us.

someone I know wanted to know what the total cost of the wedding will be ---but only because she wants to make sure hers will be more expensive. She kept saying 'mine was more!'

so dumb

I've had people ask how much per plate!!!! WT@ I just say 'enough' or ' a lot'

That's one question I wont' answer!!!

I think people ask that so they have a ballpark figure of how much to give as a gift (?).

yes, omg people ask this all the time!!! my answer is always, 'too much' and if they keep insisting i tell them it's way over $150 pp. then they are in and wonder why we are spending so much money but it keeps their mouths shut!

I can't believe that 50 yr old has nothing better to do than to research what YOUR cardbox costs....that is just plain WEIRD. sorry!

sometimes i ask people how much they paid for something to see if i got a good deal or if i got ripped off...i know they take offense sometimes, i get embarassed and dont' ask again. i can't stand when people are persistent!!!! people continuously ask 'how much did you get your house for, why would you live there, you're paying so much $$$ in taxes' ugh!!!!! mind your own business and if that's where i choose to put my money, then so be it!

oh i am SO SO with you on this. I mean my mom has a general idea - but we maid the BIG mistake in the beginning (FH and I) of deciding we wouldn't discuss cost with the parents as we were paying for it ourselves. it really was with the best of intentions that we initially tried to do this - when we figured out it was hurting them it went right down the tubes :) :)

Ew how obnoxious!!
I'm guessing she's not invited and just being nosey. I think a lot of people who arent in the planning process and arent invited/involved get overly nosey and try to judge you because they are jealous in some way.
It's one thing if she was super excited for you and asking in a good way, but I think it sounds like shes just being nosey and jealous.

this morning at work a guy asked me how much my wedding is costing me...he goes 'like 30 grand right?' and rolled his eyes. then he got mad when i wouldn't answer.

i think it's really rude.

I hate this too! I also hate when people ask us how much we bought our house for...do they think before they speak
