AIBU to think it was a bit rude to say "how much did your handbag cost?"

[Denj33]

Woman on bus just leans over and said it randomly, not even "I like your bag, where did you buy it?", just how much did it cost

I didn't answer her so she tapped my bag and said it again so I asked her why she wanted to know and she said "just wondering"

What the actual fuck was that about?

Well... how much DID it cost?

We all need to know if it was a real Birkin now

I would take it as a compliment.She was probably trying to make conversation.
There will be another thread soon about the miserable woman on a bus.

Rude. Tapping it was rude too.
That's why I keep a brick in mine, for swiping rude people.

Asking where you bought it is OK though.

Real Birkin(??
On the bus on my way to work 8 hours at a awful not that we'll paid job
DKNY is as good as it gets (and that was a pressie)

She was complimenting you on your bag, wondered where it was from and whether it was too expensive for her.
YABU and a bit precious.

She wasn't complimenting it tho, that was my whole point

Well, saying "DKNY" and "I don't know how much it cost, it was a pressie" would have been nice.

Loving the brick lol

No, complimenting your style, choice, taste when I said I would take it as a compliment.

Some people lack social skills.
The "I like her bag" thought probably got lost in her head and she only spoke the words " how much was it"

Bonkers biddy on a bus!

She shouted it at me, there was no compliment at all

"six thousand pounds"

The only possible reply to that is little finger to mouth, sly smile, one MEEELLION dollars, cackle wildly.

6k Hecate ?

You should have been in a chauffeur driven limo, not on the bus

yes, but when a stranger gets in your face and shouts "how much did that cost", you are allowed to respond with a ridiculous figure.

Oh, she was shouting it now?

That's what I was trying to say, obviously did not explain very well :(

She randomly leaned over and SHOUTED how much did your bag cost?
It wasn't a conversation or a compliment, it was shouting at me!?

If if was a normal conversation I would not be thinking about it

Rude and random.......

but you do get that on buses (I know I do)

That's what the OP said. "She shouted it at me, there was no compliment at all"

IDon'tLikeBaking - are you the OP?

Sorry, name change
Just had a convo with someone at work about how she bakes her own bread, cakes, pies, children etc

ah. thought so. don't do that again. I am easily confused

Whereas I am a terrible person as I never bake anything...
She did say that "don't your kids miss having home baking in the house"
Well, no they can't miss what they never had :)

"don't your kids miss having home baking in the house"
