Just don't know when to shut up, do you?

It's been a while since my last Whistler story, but boy do I have a doozie here that happened yesterday. Hubby's probably tired of hearing about it, since I told him already, and was still venting about it last night when we went to bed because I was so mad. But I wanted to share with you all too, so here we go.

One of the things that annoys me about this guy is his elitist attitude. I'll be talking with someone else in his hearing about oh, say, that I'm going to get McDonald's for dinner on my way home. He'll butt in about how he just can't eat fried food, that it makes him sick and stuff. Halloween just past, he always has to mention about how he doesn't like Hershey's chocolate, because it's "cheap", he only likes Dove chocolate. So it's sort of become a running semi-joke between us that I'm burgers and fries, and he's escargot and veal tenderloin. I try to laugh it off when I can, but it does bug me that the things that I find delicious are "beneath him". This applies to more than just food, but that's the one that comes up the most.

So yesterday he's talking at me about what his girlfriend wants for Christmas, and he says she wants a pair of Keans (I think that's the right spelling), and he asks me if I've heard of them. I say nope! He says, well, of course you wouldn't they're really expensive, like $150 a pair, and prattles on about how he told her that she could buy them for herself if she wanted them that badly because he wasn't going to spend that kind of money on a pair of shoes.

Excuse me?

Of course I wouldn't know the brand because they're pricey?

Up yours, buddy.

I called him on it too, I told him I was kind of offended that he'd just outright say that the reason I don't know about these shoes is because they're expensive. He just kind of went, yeah, well, ok.. and went back to talking again. No sorry, no nothing. I may not be Mrs. Haute Couture 2008, but I'm familiar at least in passing with most of the well-known designers.

He did apologize this morning for offending me. So maybe I'll give him another week or two before I haul off and punch him in the face, what do you think? :D
