To think this is a backhanded insult and totally uncalled for?

I've been doing some work recently with an old friend of mine from school, we'll call her Gemma as this is her name and I don't care to give her a false one. Anyway so I invited Gemma out for a few drinks the other day as she's never met my boyfriend and we haven't really had a good chance to get together since school, we went to a local cocktail bar where I live and the night was lovely apart from one little moment which has been playing on my mind since.

I went to the loo, she came with and whilst in there she made a comment about my boyfriend to the effect of "oh he's gorgeous, you've done well for yourself." Now am I being unreasonable to think that this is very rude and suggests that I am inferior to him as she's oh so shocked that I've managed to find somebody so attractive? Maybe this seems petty and I am just blowing this out of proportion but she could have made a comment on his appearance without having to say "you've done well for herself". Now debating whether or not this is somebody I want to be friends with.

The Beauty Blogger and her chum I mean!

BunnyTyler · 10/03/2016 02:52

She's awful!!

Proper kicked off, then came back and said she'd try to bite her tongue.

Wtf is a haggard hag on acid anyway?!
Peasant.... Grin

I don't think I've ever seen the beauty blogger thread.

BeakyMinder · 10/03/2016 03:02

Link?

Atenco · 10/03/2016 03:34

Strange that the OP is hipersensitive in real life and yet has an incredibly thick skin on the web

Great thread. Has made me forget my hangover.

Bless you OP.

It's not going to be a great working relationship with her or anyone if you take anything people say as an insult.

I need to see the beauty blogger thread but can;t be arsed to search can someone link it please.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 10/03/2016 09:21

Beauty blogger?!?!

Vixxfacee · 10/03/2016 09:25

Is her name Gemma or Jemima

Katenka · 10/03/2016 10:19

Think the beauty blogger thread has been zapped.

It started off with 'hey peasants'

And went downhill from there Grin

Frika · 10/03/2016 10:27

I really hope the 'event company' the OP runs and for which she has hired Gemma as an 'entertainer' is a children's party organiser, so I can imagine all of this happening with Gemma wearing a clown's red nose and the OP and her handsome boyfriend dressed as Mummy and Daddy Pig.

BunnyTyler · 10/03/2016 10:31

It got deleted this morning.

She started with 'hey peasants' like Katenka said, then degenerated rapidly into CAPS LOCK SHOUTING!!!!!

Calling us 'haggard old gagging hags on acid' and suchlike.

Absolutely charming young lady!
Apparently she is trying to extend her subscribers on her vlog - she's 17 and wanted to teach us all about make-up and life.

Was quite ShockConfusedHmmGrinBlushin equal measures!

PaulAnkaTheDog · 10/03/2016 10:32

I really want to see the vlog.

MadHattersWineParty · 10/03/2016 10:33

'Hey peasants'

Grin hilarious.

I missed all the fun!

ilovesooty · 10/03/2016 10:33

17? Grin

Oh no a social media networking expert! And we scared her off Sad

MissBeaHaving · 10/03/2016 10:38

She said we are old fucking hags on acid...

GooseberryRoolz · 10/03/2016 10:41

It's probably a trendy new marketing technique that we're all too aged and haggard to grasp.

I'm going to try it for my next client group marketing email; "Listen up you twats..."

fatherpeeweestairmaster · 10/03/2016 10:43

I think I just about prefer 'Hey, peasants' to 'Hello, ladies' or 'Hello, mums'.

But only because I am hearing Rik Mayall screeching it.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 10/03/2016 10:44

Tbf, it worked. I really want to see her vlog!

GooseberryRoolz · 10/03/2016 10:47

Don't encourage me, please, Paul.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 10/03/2016 10:49

Do it, do it...
