To think it's rude to asking how much it costs?

I've had cosmetic surgery and it's something very noticeable. I'm very open with it but I'm sick of the first question being - how much did it cost??

Aibu? It's none of anyone's business

People are either plain nosy and want something to gossip about, or they are considering having the same procedure themselves and wondering if they could afford it. But you certainly don't have to tell them and it is rude of them to ask! I suppose I might say "gosh that must have set you back a bit" about an amazing new purchase - are they explicitly saying "how much did it cost?"

Going to have a huuuuuuge list for PMs!! Please add me to it :) Or just share on the thread and get it deleted for being 'too identifying' Wink

I think if you want to discuss your plastic surgery, which is of course private to you, people will move on from the actual surgery to the next thing which is the cost. Yes, its rude because asking how much something cost is. Just tell them that's for you to know and them to wonder.

I female colleague told me she had had a nose job paid for by her dentist husband. It was an astonishingly good job. She had quite a long nose, but he had not altered the length so much but removed the bump and it really suited her face. After she told me, I could not stop staring at it. And yes that is very rude.

I knew twins who had boob jobs. They were very tall and slim and took out loans to get them done. I suppose it would be odd if one remained flat chested when the other was large breasted. Over thinking there.

Can I get a pm op? I'm really hoping its elf ears Grin

Xmasbaby11 · 01/05/2017 16:56

I think it's rude to ask the cost. I would not ask but I'd be curious. I think it's because it's quite hard to find out how much these things cost.

You're right not to tell them and I think it's unkind of people to use it to judge. They have no idea what value you place on feeling good.

PurpleDaisies · 01/05/2017 16:59

Another curious person asking for a pm here.

FWIW I wouldn't ask how much it cost.

So, it's very obvious... I give up. Have you time to pm me too? I wouldn't usual be nosy, but I really am intrigued now...

Diamond inset into your tooth? Feline eyes? Dracula teeth?

Is it something unusual but you still look like unaugmented people (just different from how you used to look)? Or is it something a little fantastical?

LatinForTelly · 01/05/2017 17:12

It is none of their business. Use one of the breezy replies above ^^.

This reminds me of when a fellow student asked how much getting highlights cost, and when I told her said to me, 'amazing, isn't it, the price of vanity?'' Grin

And please can I have a pm? Am fascinated.

technosausage · 01/05/2017 17:14

AfunaMbatata · 01/05/2017 17:24
