I really have no interest in brand name clothing, yet my friends will ask me when I'm getting a cool car or will suggest I buy a nice article of clothing or accessory.
Most of the time this is harmless, but occasionally you get someone calling me 'cheap' because I prefer my 10 dollar watch over a 250 dollar watch.
I've gotten a bit sassy recently and have said things like 'I don't fall for 250 dollar marketing gimmicks', but I think that went over their head.
Any suggestions for dealing with people that expect you to show off? (I should mention, life isnt as simple as 'deleting people from life', I doubt this problem is going to go away in the next 50 years)
