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.

It was a totally innocent comment.

MerylMonkey · 10/03/2016 10:59

I think Pippa's totally brilliant and Gemma is a cuntycowface.

BunnyTyler · 10/03/2016 11:04

Gooseberry, she wasn't a social media networking expert, she told us she was a SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you absolutely should begin all communication with "listen up twats" from now on.
It's engaging, it's punchy, it's in your face, it appeals to youth and hags alike.

You're missing a trick if you don't...!!

MissBeaHaving · 10/03/2016 11:10

Have you bought your perfume yet Bunny?Wink

That clinches it then Smile

Punchy? So true Grin

BunnyTyler · 10/03/2016 11:12

Haha!!
I daren't!

I'd be kicked out of savers(?) trying to buy it as I'm not welcome there.

(Was it Beyoncé's perfume? I can't remember).

I suppose that it may be in part due to my own insecurities due to past experiences with relationships and dating. Hmmm.

It took a handful of messages on MN to make you go hmmmm, Pips?

That was quick. MNers, you should go into psychiatry. You've saved OP thousands in counselling fees.

ilovesooty · 10/03/2016 11:29

I'm a counsellor and I think we've had a lucky escape then.

MissBeaHaving · 10/03/2016 11:29

I've no idea Bunny,I was just a bit flabbergasted at the comment.
obviously the acid taking has affected my memory

Oh i want to see that beauty blog thread

I bet MNHQ keep all the good ones somewhere and keep them for entertainment purposes

Do you think they are open for bribes? I could get gin, or biscuits ?...or both

MissBeaHaving · 10/03/2016 12:25

I've just realised ....
Biscuit

stumblymonkey · 10/03/2016 12:28

Gooseberry....I just cackled out loud and somewhat startled my cats to starting client emails with "Listen up you twats'.

I've never AS anyone before to see their other threads but I'm going to keep an eye on the lovely Pippa as it seems she'll be able to keep me amused!

Sad I missed the other threads...especially the Samantha B-esque 'all other women are jealous of me'.

VioletVaccine · 10/03/2016 13:30

She said we are old fucking hags on acid

I know, it really fucking offended me. I'm not old Grin

leelu66 · 10/03/2016 13:57

Biscuit = biscuit
Biscuit Biscuit = boobies

MissBeaHaving · 10/03/2016 14:06

Me neither violet... The cheek of her!

Leelu ... we've been mislead & have actually been handing out acid not biscuits

leelu66 · 10/03/2016 14:14

Oh sorry, missed that Blush

^^^^^^ This a million times over.

OP, thank you from the bottom of my haggard old heart, I have just cried real tears of laughter. Grin

That's enough for now. Best go and get on with your homework.

MissBeaHaving · 10/03/2016 14:30

That'll be all the acid Leelu Wink

Nobody's having tea tonight - someone's turned my living room carpet into lava and I can't find the kitchen

LazySusan11 · 10/03/2016 23:31

Oh yes apparently some of us can't just walk into Savers on a sad day and buy the new Kelly Brook perfume! It's clearly far too expensive and made from unicorn spunk far too good for the gagging old hags on MN Hmm

LifeofI · 11/03/2016 01:30

Over thinking. Yabu
