The type that always asks you how much you paid for something, or the type that always tells you how much they paid for something?
I only ask because I have a neighbor that does both.

I dislike both but the person that asks me what I paid for something is more annoying.
I don't see why either would be a problem

Me neither. Only reason I ever ask what people paid for something is if they are a good friend and I am considering buying something similar. If they respond with a phrase that they "paid enough", that's fine. I'll drop it.Quote:

Yeah, I guess it would depend on context. It's not like I'm going to walk up to a complete stranger and ask what they paid for something.Quote:

I wouldn't think twice about doing this if i were at a public event and said person was eating a tray of bomb *** looking nachosQuote:

I guess it really depends on which one is the Hawk fan.
Never mind must be the first one unless they are telling you how much they paid for Busch Light.
What like 7 layer nachos or an ultimate sampler?Quote:

I would think the guy that is always saying how much he paid for something would be worse because I am not a fan of showboats. Although I don't mind hearing a story about how someone got an incredible deal. If the guys thinks he has a lot of incredible deals than it might get a little annoying.
