To think friend googling the cost was uncool?

[Arseholery]

I'm going to view a new car soon and was mentioned it last week to a group of friends within a conversation about someone else new car.

Saw that same group of friends last night and one of the group, Alice, mentioned the appt and said she'd had a look up and did a kind of a plumber's teeth suck about the cost.

And I said something shruggy about it is what it is.

AIBU to think she was being unreasonable?

Your friend is rude!

Stop bragging and then you won't have to worry about this stuff 😂

She's hardly employed a private investigator! If it's available on Google it's fair game, IMO.

Afternoon @GreyhoundG1rl I see you're well.

It definitely wasn't bragging, it was just mentioned that I was looking at a car soon, in response to someone else's new car.

They'd see it anyway when I turn up with it to meet them soon.

Yeah, this is why I'm not entirely convinced she's done the wrong thing. It just feels a smidge impolite.

fgs, unclench. it is nothing that matters.

It’s hardly bragging to say that your getting a car. I think your friend is nosey, I would never think of doing that, I mean what does it matter. Maybe she’s a bit jealous. I had a cousin contact the hotel where I had my wedding to see how much it cost and downloaded the brochures 🦇💩🤪

The googling wasnt rude in itself. The judgement that came after was the rude bit.

Please name the hotel and car so I can Google both and see what costs more.

Agree.

And how the fuck is saying you're buying a new car in a conversation about buying new cars bragging

Now I want to know how much the car cost.

Now I want to know how much the car cost.

I'd suck my teeth at anything over £1000, but I've always bought my cars cheap and then used them until they die!

It's not bragging to mention to yoir friends you are going to view a new car. Your friend was really rude to tell you she'd googled the cost and for judging you. I wouldn't be annoyed that she had googled the cost but I would be annoyed she felt the need to comment.

YABU @Arseholery. If you told me what car it was, I would probably go off and google it, and possibly post a reaction.🤷‍♀️ Your friend didn't rant or rave. She just did an emoji about the price.

Meh, 90% of people will do the same about properties and so on, people are nosey. Big deal.

^I agree. Don’t see what the issue is here.

Honestly some people get het up about such trivia, why do you care what your friend thinks about how much your car costs?

So what if she thinks it's expensive?

I'm disappointed this wasn't about someone googling the cost of a cutlery canteen...

I would never comment on it to the friend because I think it's rude, but...

I am very nosey to a flaw and probably know the rough salaries and house prices of all of my friends. I wouldn't mind if they did the same in their own time.

I think you need to state how much the car is so I can whistle down your flashy ways 😁

I do this when friends move house!!

But I don’t tell them!

Oh, stop being precious. If you don't want people to wonder how much you're spending on a new status symbol, don't tell them you're buying one.

It's very rude to bring it up to you and use it to judge you. The googling itself though I can't condemn - I might have a slight Rightmove sold prices addiction...
