How tactless can someone be!?

There is a maximum of £50,000 in premium bonds per person, so she’s fibbing Etoile

Last week we met up with some old friends. He was DH's best man. DH was saying how expensive everything is and said that he can't afford a funeral. To be honest neither can I. Best man's wife said that she has over £70000 in premium bonds and wins every month and that she gives all her pension to her grandchildren. She also said that one of her sons has four houses. We struggle to cope on our pensions. Tactless in the extreme.

Turn the page she isnt worth thinking about
...sounds like all the exercise she got paid off

I wonder if she's related to my mother? Honestly, some people have no tact or diplomacy or empathy. There is no medal for doing something that is easy to do so she really shouldn't be boasting. Hats off to you when you are still trying to get around even though it is a struggle. 🥇

Some people only want to talk about themselves.

I agree- not tactless but mean.
Please ignore her remark- she may well fall down some tricky steps soon or even tumble down a mountain.
There's an old saying: pride comes before a fall and this person is heading for a big one I'd say!
You are better than that. Give her no more headspace.

That remark was not tactless. It was downright nasty said with malice aforethought

Pity you didn't stay up there! - love that!

"Oh dear you are struggling - I walked up Hay Bluff the other day!"

"Really? Pity you didn't stay up there then."

Some people are just tone deaf, and to be pitied for it really.
Well done for going with the family. Unfortunately these ancient houses are very rarely accessible 😕

My mother-in-law's mobility declined but she still enjoyed coming on holiday with us.
One year we went to Mount Teide on Tenerife, my husband and I wanted to go up in the cable car but she said she'd stay in the café. We settled her with a coffee and when we returned, another customer had seen her on her own and bought her a second coffee!
I'd suggest you keep accepting invitations, but adapt to your own limitations.

Some people are so tactless.
I'd also feel upset by a comment like that .
But they probably don't think before they open their mouths .
Try not to take it to heart .

I won't. But it really beggars belief!
And is all I need just now when my fitness is plummeting!

Says a lot about her need to feel she is “one up” My guess is she always envied your happy and stable family life and saw a chance to try and score a point. It’s sad that she felt the need to do that, with no insight into how it might make you feel. Now’t so queer as folk!

Boasting about her own fitness when seeing you struggling says a lot about this woman. Don't give her another thought. She really isn't worth it.

Don't worry about these kind of people...just give it time, it may be her turn next.

Sounds like she's just wished a bit of bad karma on herself for that comment.

She should have understood that - even if she doesnt have that problem - its perfectly possible that someone else (in this case yourself) does.
