That's what I was going to say... And for example, let's say your fiancee's is .60, and your (former) friend's fiancee's is 1.0, and she knows this already by saying 'mine is .4 bigger', then what you do is buy or 'borrow' on that has like FIVE .40's in it - that ought to shut them up. She asked how big it was - not how many there were....
which reminds me of a saying: 'If it has tits or wheels, you'll have problems with it'. You buddy has problems.
Unfortunately some people judge their happiness by material things, especially to make sure they have the bigger and better thing. Funniest story I've ever heard, was at a friends engagement party. I didn't get invited because apparently it was "couples only". Pathetic. In front of the entire party, friends and family, ".....and to the last bl0wjob I'll ever give." How awkward is that?
Yeah, I forgot to mention that when they got married, she opened up the cards they got in front of everyone and just pulled out the gift cards and cash (they didn't register anywhere, they just asked for cash and gift cards) and tossed the cards aside without reading them... I seriously could not believe my eyes! What a tacky *****!
"WHO DOES THAT?" seriously, these people seem ****ed big time. The guy has no b@lls because if he did, he would have knocked some sense into the wife when she dialed your number and told him to ask you about the diamond size. It's pretty pathetic that they opened the envelopes and threw the cards aside. Losers. I bet they dont have many friends around.
Pap, you've got to keep in mind who you're marrying and why. Buy the ring that your future wife wants, not the one your brother thinks she should get. If it still bugs you that much, put a 1.5c rock in your ring and wave that in his face.
and add, you really need to get her a bigger one so the reflection from the rock blinds any onlooker to hide her face!
Yeah, im with you Snake. I was looking at rings today, nothing near 1 carrat either. I will get her what she wants, and if he ever decides to mouth off, I will just go and buy her a 1.5 carrat for the hell of it to shut him up.
These people are like my dumb relatives. Everything I get my cousin gets. The clothes I wear the people I am friends with, etc... EVERYTHING. He tries to do everything I do and always does his best to get into my personal business but is very secret about his. His parents are just as retarded. When my parents bought a house they bought one down the street. When my dad put in a pool they designed their pool exactly the same. When my dad builds something they do too, infact their landscaping is a mirror image of ours. When my mom bought a chandelier my aunt got the same one. They have this sick complex of always competing with my family.... probably cause they wanna be us. They say imitation is the best form of flattery but it is also mother****ing annoying. Anyway, people are retarded. I guess its just something we all have to accept. My dad wants to move again when he is done working on his house, to a more expensive city so they cant follow.
I'm a woman, and I can tell you that asking something like that is unequivocally in poor taste, right up there with asking how much money you make, what you paid for your car, etc. But the world is full of classless people. And BTW, I'm a pretty materialistic girl, but no way in hell would I do that in a million years. However, unfortunately, there are a ton of women out there that are just totally obsessed with their engagement ring. I think half the time they don't even really care about who they marry, as long as they get a nice ring.
Remember, girls: Diamonds are just carbon. Like coal. And Santa only brings coal to the *bad* girls. (Hey Algore, what's the "carbon credits" balance on a diamond? )
Pap, you need a better plan. If your brother starts running his mouth, just go buy another Ferrari. Win-win!
I say you go out and buy a 5 carat Cubic Z for a couple hundred bucks. That broad ( "friend" ) sounds so dumb she wouldn't realize the difference anyway. Have your fiance put it on to shock her.
Lol! That is true!! But........what a GREAT way to shut him up good!! Add another Ferrari to the stable and get a 'bigger' rock on the ring for the g/f. He doesnt own a Ferrari, so that would jam him up good!! But nah, I wouldnt do that. That is his childish games, not mine. I will get a ring that she will love. Thats all I need to do.
I honestly wouldn't care one bit, I would feel sorry for the guy because anyone like that probably doesn't have many (or any) friends.
After giving it some thought, then waiting to see if anybody else came up with an improved automatic response, I've decided what I'd automatically say to "YES! YES! Mine's .4 bigger!!! HA! HA! HA!!!" is now; "Mine's bigger. Much bigger. So, ha ha ha."
