And THAT is the best post in this trainwreck of a thread

You don't have sinfully pink out, do you?! She means she would have spit it out from laughing

Apparently I touched on a nerve with my comments- which makes it even funnier.
On a serious note-
Let me say one other thing (so the vultures can dive right in).. low paying jobs and big diamonds just don't go. It's just as silly looking as wearing them while doing charitable work (guessing many of you do that too). It's pretentious. It reeks of ghetto rich or new money.
Is that what some of you are? New money, or no money hence the anger at my posts?
Either way, whether or not you want to admit it, I don't lie, that's how it's perceived. Maybe not by you, the "Champions of Cashiers Everywhere", but yeah- way more people than you're willing to admit think it's tacky.
So- let the judging (from all of you non judgmental ladies) ensue.
Will try to get back to this thread tonight.
Have a great day everyone
eta: Woofmama - That T-shirt is a wonderful idea. I have no doubt many here would wear it proudly.

My mother is independently wealthy and can easily afford a 5ct stone. (Jewelry isn't her hobby.) She works part time retail. It is a way for her to interact with others, stay active, and keep some kind of routine. Just a reminder, not everyone who "folds your pants" is starving.

I'll take one of those too
I was trying to be neutral in my response in this thread. Re: my post talking about cashiering at my business & wearing bling.
Also enjoyed a bit of humor with some of the comments. But honestly now I'm offended by the last post from Elle Chris.
Insinuating that unless you're born into money or marry into money you can't have nice things is ridiculous. I have earned all of my money to buy nice things myself & come from a middle class background. My DH has a blue collar job & I have always worked. I'm proud of my accomplishments and even prouder that I improved our financial status in life. I would love to see every bling loving woman wearing whatever makes her happy be it behind a cash register, a bar or at the reception desk. When I started posting on PS I was happy to see what I felt was diversity amongst the members & the many socio-economic backgrounds represented. I never felt anyone on here was less than welcoming or that other members didn't believe all could participate.
ElleChris I have up to this point always enjoyed your contributions & love your taste in jewelry, just want to note, pretty is as pretty does.
Rock on ladies

Ah, Hell ... there are tons of wonderful judge images ...
Clearly the topic of judging touches a universal nerve.

lol.. pretty funny. Love Judge Judy.
You know what's not funny?
The thread that you started about Russia pretty much violating human rights- it only got about four responses (one of which is mine.)
But a post where a cashier gets the side eye, well that, that got two pages of responses telling me how terrible I was.
I get it, it's much more fun to act all righteous.
elle_chris|1421182762|3815912 said:Like I said, they'd get the side eye from me "even though I know I shouldn't".
As I posted above, lifestyle plays a huge role to me in the jewelry I wear. A 3ct while packing groceries looks strange. A 3ct while folding a pair of pants I'm about to buy, looks strange.
Maybe they have a rich fiance/husband, or maybe it was an heirloom, I don't know, I don't look that deep into it.
But my first impression isn't a good one.
