Excuse me a moment while I take a swig out of my sarcastic sippy cup and ask you all…
Is there anything more deserving of a double-eye-fork-stabbing than walking into a business meeting, with a room full of people and a co-worker screaming at you from across the room…
‘Hey! New shirt? TJ Max $12.99 right?’
Is there a court in the land who would convict me?
Seriously?

Oh, and I think I just did my first and last interview over at Say Anything AND got the date mixed up on top of it!!!!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure nobody will ever ask me again after this.

OMG, really??? Who says things like that????
Did you fire one back at her? You have a new goal to embarrass that fool.
That is just tacky...but i cant wait to read your interview..Im going ova...Um if its there...wait what is the date...Im not sure if you did it yet...Im going to check..Wooo Hooo..!!...LMAO
I read your interview and it was hilarious! You're awesome.
What an assbag! Seriously. I'm never on the spot with the quips, I always dwell on it for days and then, suddenly, a snappy comeback hits me. I would have said something to the effect of, "No. Mine came from_____, (insert name of fancy store). But, it was a few months ago, so it's probably made its way to the discount stores. So, I guess you shop discount, then?"
Assbag.
Read your interview this morning. Loved it. Except the part about the left hand lane. I'm the one behind you.
LOL!!! Oh my goodess! I can't beleive that coworker! That's justifiable homicide.
I'm curious. Was she right??
Sounds like she should be working the red carpet at the grammy's. For the National Enquirer.
Would it have been as bad if she had guessed Neiman Marcus $150??
I LOVE T.J. Maxx. That $12.99 shirt probably sold for $75 at Nordy's. Screw her.
And I had to visit your interview and tease you a bit because what are friends for... ;)
That woman must go. Must go now.
Soo are you going to seek revenge??
Yeah. I had some rich snooty lady call me out at a teacher's luncheon, she didnt' even precede her remark with a hello.
At the first sight of me, she says, "I saw your shirt at Target. My teenage daughter bought one in every color."
And I am sooo not a teenager, so, yeah. thanks for that.
Good reply: "Ew. Like I shop there" Would've loved to see that face. ;]
Sent over here by the Wifey. Following and took button. I'm new to this blogging thing. Come by my place!
You should have told her you stole it off a dead hooker.......or, uh, something..... :)
Niiiiice.
We're getting a TJ Maxx at the Hillbilly Mall and I'm pretty excited.
I like the, "HEY! I just dropped off the same shirt at GoodWill!"
Awesome.
Yup. That qualifies for a double eye fork stabbing for sure. She's lucky she made it out alive.
Double eye and a pitchfork up the ass!
Although, it would have made a great set-up. "New face? I saw that one in my toilet this morning?"
Oy! I do have a friend that has no filter and frequently does stuff like this. I like to think of it as a medical condition - poor tactless thing just can't help herself...
peryl @parenting ad absurdum
On the other hand there was my mother, who would buy her clothes at K-Mart and Walmart and then when someone complimented her on her outfit at one of Dad's company cocktail parties she'd proudly crow, "Why thank you, I bought it at ***mart and only paid $9.99 for it!" This was when she and Dad were really starting to hate each other and she LIVED for these moments pre-ugly-divorce.
I would've retorted "You bet! At least it's paid for already."
My response to this would have been, in my best of Absolutely Fabulous accents "Dahhhhling....this is haute couture, Marc Jacobs no less, I bought it in the fall, cost me an arm and a leg but I am so worth it. It's amaaaazing how quickly the runway fashions end up being copied so quickly these days. Of course the quality and style are nowhere near as good but I'm sure YOUR TJ Max shirt looks so right on you."
I'm with blue violet!
Destroy that idiot!
What a fool! TJ Max? $12? I think NOT! That person just was trying to be funny! We know your people dress you in Queenly garb every damned day. You should have just commanded the "off with their head" and let it go at that!
What a piece of work. Pun intended. Her brain must have been a discontinued item, 70% off (I don't know who would pay for it), left on the shelf in the back collecting dust with the other irregulars. It will probably end up in an EBay auction netting a dollar, if that.
Um, first off, I do shop at TJMaxx and love it when I get a bargain. It shows how savvy I can be, especially to the hubs. Then I can stuff the loot I paid way too much for in the bottom of the bag. By then he's bored and never looks.
Totally justifiable to whip out the fork under the circumstances.
I am following back! I would totally distract the others while you go to work with the fork!
Awesome! Really love your writing style!!
Hope you're having a fantastic weekend!
