[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you give some examples of what they actually say? [/quote]

"What are you planning for the kitchen?" [Kitchen is fine; granite, nice cupboards, new appliances in stainless steel. Not all of it was all our pic, but no real estate agent would put it on the "must-do" list.]

"When are you going to get new carpet upstairs?"

"What color will you be painting the deck?" [Deck is in great shape and we power-wash it twice a year.]

"When you do this room, are you going to do built-in bookcases?" [In regards to the parlor, which is perfectly fine, freshly painted and nothing wrong with it at all. Apparently it's not "done" because it has a stand-alone bookcase instead of built-ins.][/quote]
I don't hear any criticism in any of these questions.  They are just... questions.  They maybe an awkward attempt at getting conversation started, but on their face, there doesn't seem to be ill intent in them.  Sounds like you just don't like these people and are looking for reasons to be annoyed at them.[/quote]

That's like asking who lays out a Thanksgiving spread for you, "How are you going to change the recipe next year?" "Next year, do you plan on serving more side dishes?"

It's effing rude, end of story. [/quote]
Folks on DCUM spend lots of time being offended.  Life is better if you don't waste your energy it.[/quote]

np: If you don’t get why this is rude, you need to re-examine your social skills.[/quote]
