No, she never told me I was stupid, she was (seemed) nice, and told me nicely (the way a person who actually cares about your well being would do) that I should not leave my purse opened and unattended, that someone might steal.

When people give you an advice, it doesn't automatically mean they think you are stupid, most the time they are just trying to help.
People can tell other people things without saying the actual words. By telling you what she did she was trying to make you aware of your stupidity. That was her purpose for speaking to you. Do you see that? She probably spoke nicely because she thought you were a little slow. Smart people are generally aware of the existence of thieves and don't leave valuables lying around. Granted, she shouldn't have spoken behind your back but I wouldn't have thought of her as a hypocrite because she already let you know that she thought you were not too bright.
Maybe I've been around teenagers too much. I remember saying things like, "If you jump off the roof on your skateboard, you'll break your neck." When really I was saying, "Mate, you're twelve different multicoloured kinds of stupid if you're doing that kind of s**t."
Sorry I started this. I was kind of joking to begin with. Jeez, that backfired, didn't it?
This whole conversation is stupid.
Bring on the freakin dragons.
I don't see how absentmindedly leaving a purse un-attended or not thinking about it, as I am sure plenty of 'smart' people have done by mistake is an indication that someone is over-all slow or stupid. Perhaps people shouldn't act misleadingly...if someone thinks I am an entire idiot I'd prefer they just tell me that then act nice so I feel like they are trying to be helpful...only to hear them make mean comments about me later over the incident.
'smart people' are not infallible and can make stupid little mistakes to...I am quite certain.
