AIBU - insufferably snobby? Or me being oversensitive??

[dontdipyourhairinthebeanjuice]

So we don't see the in laws often (hubby reasons not mine) we saw them at Christmas to do a gift exchange, lots of prezzies, needed a big bag so used a great big lidl bag - just for transporting, all presents were wrapped nicely and thoughtfully inside. So at the weekend, met up again, SIL says she has a gift for me, makes quite a thing of it. Its the LIDL bag, returned to me "as she couldn't think who it belonged to but then thought of me" The bag was returned to me in a John Lewis bag.

I should add there is history. For example If ever tea is being made at a family occasion, she will say "you like it butch don't you" meaning I like "normal tea" whereas she likes earl grey. She travels with her slippers and brings her own earl grey tea bags if she ever visits our home (I do have earl grey in - I do have some posh friends too!) I find it all very rude AIBU?

She had no class. Just rude.

YABO(versensitive).

She does sound like she was having a dig.

I'd ignore her tho. Don't rise to it, wtf giving you a bag in another bag? She sounds like an idiot.

She's just got a stick up her arse. Ignore her.

So she isnt posh at all really is she -more rude, ignorant and pseudo posh with some issues...

Ignore, ignore, ignore.
What a spiteful person, best to stay far away.

I wouldn't sweat the tea and slippers thing (some people get cold feet and like a particular tea) but the carrier bag in a carrier bag action is weird!

How tiresome!

Just try and see it for what it is. Wankery

I've never ever heard of ordinary tea being called butch, she is very strange. YANBU. I love a good reusable LIDLS bag me.

YANBU your SIL is Hyacinth Bucket.
Tea bags! What is wrong with russian caravan loose leaf tea and an infuser.

To coin a very old MN phrase - your SIL for example, is a twat.

Yeah, she's a bit of a bitch actually.

Yes she is having a dig, returning a LIDL bag in a John Lewis bag - she sounds a right fucking mug

Hyacinth Bouquet springs to mind

Don't let her pettiness get to you. It speaks volumes about the quality of her character.

She sounds awful

She sounds very try-hard.
Most properly posh people I know woukd hap

Happily shop at lidl and drink builders tea!

Urgh what a twatty mctwat face i probably would have laughed in her face tbh.

Play her at her own game - next time you see her, return the JL bag to her in a Harrods one.

tends to be Hyacinth Bouquet types that make a big deal about John Lewis/ Earl grey etc etc

She sounds utterly tedious but you would be silly to let it get to you

She's just nasty. Anyone with any class wouldn't do that.

A bag in a bag?

I'd stick her John Lewis bag in a Harrods bag and give it back next time you see her.

I'd have said oh I thought it was the one you gave us your presents in last year? I was just giving it back to you.....
