Is this rude? insulting?

A: What kind of chips are you eating?
B: Doritos, the spicy sweet chilli ones, the ones in the purple bag.
A: I only know about the ones in the red bag, never seen any in purple or blue bags.
B: What?! Do you live under a rock!?

Is the last statement that “B” said rude? This conversation took place between two friends who are informal with each other, they joke around etc.

No, it's not rude. Especially if you usually converse in this manner with each other.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

very rude. very insulting. divorce him.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Both of them must me men/boys for SURE!

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Among friends no.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Pfft guys say worse to each other all the time. If it was my friend I would have implied he was retarded, stupid and much more and he would have punched me. Chalta hai.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

^ Haha. What the man said.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

well it wont be rude since u said they are informal with each other and do jokes etc.....unless the tone is clearly rude or insulting.....but it all depends on how the other person takes it.

personally if i was their i wouldnot have liked someone asking me 'do u live under a rock?' that too for such a small thing......i dont know why some people expect you to know everything.....agar kisi ko nahi pata tou usay bata do..simple.

there is one point though....may be B was rude coz s/he found A rude when s/he said 'I only know about the ones in the red bag, never seen any in purple or blue bags.'

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Reminds me of this :smiley:

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Nope, not rude. Unless A and B aren't really friends but pretend to be.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

It's not such a big deal. It's just an exaggerated comment. It's not like saying "What, are you like retarded or something?"....which would be considered more rude....and depending on how close the friendship is, it might not. Let it go. :)

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Also, you will NOT know everything about everything. If it wasn't a bag of chips, then the same comment could be made for something else (bigger or smaller) that you didn't know about. Applies to everyone.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Amongst friends it's not a big deal.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

was it said in front of others or privately?

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

This is kind of insulting, other then that, quit whining!!

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

Don't see anything rude with that.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

More important is: Did B share chips with A?

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

nooo.

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

In fact I disagree. Guys dont talk about such details. They dont care about red and blue bags.

Got to be two girls, pseudo-friends, ages 17-23, no boy friends, probably brits BBCD. (should I stop or keep moving on with the description)

Re: Is this rude? insulting?

This is what i was gona say, a guy wont even care about such thing, Only a girl wud even consider is insulting so it cant be 2 guys.
