Resolved Question

What do you say to someone who always wants to know "What did it cost? "?

We have someone in the family who will ask us What did that cost you? It is so rude in my book. My husband will say what it cost, and then they have opinions galore. Argh!

Any time something numerical is being guessed on I always follow The Price is Right rules. I just have them take their best guess. If they go over, well... ****... they don't get the treadmill or the year's supply of Calgon.

The world is a rough place.

I don't think very many things are actually rude, takes a bit to shock me. But this is #@*&@! annoying.

It is rude. How about asking "Did I ask you to pay for it?"
Oh, I'm sorry, that's rude too. I would just ignore the question and go on. I don't know why people are like that!
