I once encountered a woman in costa coffee who was gassing to her equaly bimble brained freind about her new coat made of pure snow leopard fur - sample conversation " oh its so lovely and soft and nice, tamara - they must be beautiful animals"

I'm afraid that at this point i kind of lost it - informing them - and the whole shop that "it wasnt a beautiful animal any more you silly oooo , its a torn and butchered hunk of meat all so you can wear your ooooooo coat "- I then threw my drink over her and said coat and was subsequently ejected from the premises
I echo your words here eeyore. Well done for your actions as well. I hope it made her realise what an idiot she is.
