"So?"

That's the response you want. Complete andutter boredom. You don't care. Their entire personality is built around a weird little status structure and if you don't buy into their hallucination they lose their everloving minds

[–] paperazzi@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago

"Ok" is my go-to. It feels dismissive because it is.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

That's cool, but MY watch has a Tomagachi living in it.

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 20 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

A classic that always makes people like this angry is the good ole, "Anyways, [Something you are casually going to do today or did yesterday]- " and a hand wave to dismiss the statement.

It infuriates them lol

“What kinda mileage does it get?”

“Cool, I went to the bar with my friends last night. What did you do?”

“Can you get me some more water?”

Look of confusion "Does...does that make you happy?"

-or-

"Was it worth it?"

[–] whereisk@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Has this one done it? or how many such watches in do you get to be happy?

[–] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 42 points 22 hours ago

"that's a lot of money for such an ugly watch."

It never gets to 60. For some odd reason it only gets to 59 and then drops back to zero.

The classic "OK boomer" still gets them angry, if that's what you're after

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 77 points 1 day ago (9 children)

This is right, where every other comment in this thread is wrong.

Don't take the bait.

Even just a flat OK is better than taking the bait. Honestly, silence is better.

Do you care? Then you are poor and mad.

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

"that's so sad"

But realistically probably nothing, someone like that isn't going to care enough about what you think to be affected by what you say.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If they've gone out of their way to draw attention to it, they clearly do care to some degree, whether they directly express it or not.

Serious answer:

That's cool. What makes it special?

Sometimes people talk about how expensive something they own is simply because they're proud that they could afford it and even when they're being tone-deaf, there's no benefit to getting offended when you could just move the conversation along instead. (Although you might have to listen to them talk about watches.) If they were trying to brag, now they're stuck trying to explain why the watch is actually worth what they paid and you're the one judging them.

Cars (and watches) aren't so expensive that a middle-class person can't plausibly already own the one he would buy even if money was unlimited. You can act like that's true about you. My status-conscious former mother in law was bothered by the fact that I owned an old car, but when she would bring it up I would just say "I really like the 2008 model." She couldn't argue with that.

I think the really wealthy old-money people would never say such a thing. Because such a thing just wouldn't occur to them. And if someone said that to them, they'd just kind of smile and nod the same way they would to a toddler. Maybe say "Ah, yes, very good." So that's probably the best response.

But if I were writing a screenplay and had to come up with a one-liner I'd probably go with, "Just goes to show you can't buy class."

"Interesting, may I see?" And when they hold their wrist up to you, inspect it closely, then lick it, make some faces like a wine connoisseur, shake your head and say :"It's fake" turn around and disengage.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

"Was it meant to make you happier? I'm not sure it worked."

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 17 points 22 hours ago

"what?"

"I'm sorry I didn't catch that"

"one more time?"

"ok. thanks for letting me know."

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I have friends.

And I have the same watch, but paid $25 for it on a market in Cambodia.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but can your watch drive you to the store ?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 65 points 1 day ago

If you need to point out the watch and explain its value, you've already lost.
