[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so few “safe” topics to chitchat about. Most UMC people go on vacation somewhere during the summer, so it’s just a way to make conversation and have something to talk about. [/quote]

While I agree, there is clearly a difference between people who talk about it when it comes up naturally, and don't do so in a braggy way, and people who give a ton of details that convey expense (our suite comes with a private plunge pool and our own butler!) and then post a ton of pictures on social media clearly demonstrating how fancy and expensive the trip was.

Example:

Normal/Fine:
You: "So, have any fun trips planned this summer?"
Them: "Yes, we are headed to the Domincan Republic, what about you guys?"

Braggy:
Them: "Yes, we are going to the Rosewood Mayakoba. I'm SO glad we are bringing our nanny and got her and the kids their own room! Wouldn't be a vacation otherwise! If you go, you HAVE to pay for the expedited arrival service because othewise you'll stand in line forever at the airport!"[/quote]
