Congratulations on getting the nice stuff.

Piss on you for bragging about it and then wondering why you got flamed... :roll:

My mom would do that if I asked her. Well, she has offered anyway.

My parents make me pay for the gas, but they gave me the car so I can't complain.

Ok when was the last time you got everything I said for free? oh wait you havent.
So now having your parents buy you stuff means it's free?

You are pathetic.

Might as well right, they're footing the bill :roll:

Oh I should make this clear:


My parents believed I deserved a new car because of my grades in college were so good (and I wont argue with that). It just so happens I dropped my old POS cell phone in a pool at a party during July 4, ok I jumped in the pool and forgot about the cell phone. And I dont plan on this laptop lasting me more than 2 years anyways, it will barly be able to run some games in 2 years at med quality

1. Your own damn fault, why should your parents foot the bill?
2. I'm sure you'll just get your parents to buy a newer, better one :disgust:
3. Learn some damn humility.

The worst part is that this guy doesn't even feel grateful, he feels he deserves what his parents buy him.

If his parents have the extra money and feel like spending some of it on their child, what's the big deal?

EDIT: Read some more. He does seem to be semi-spoiled.

Sounds good now, but there are much better things.

1. Getting Married (ok, debateable)

2. Having kids (best ever)

I agree, I was expecting to say that he got engaged/married. His wife had a new baby or maybe just graduated and got his first "real" job. But to be your best day of your life and you were given gifts of approx. $23k (and brag about it), I find that rather sad.

I'm sure you'll make another thread in a few years about the best day of your life when your parents buy you a new $500k house.

Uh..even if I got straight fvcking As in college, I wouldn't receive gifts anywhere CLOSE to those. I don't expect anything from my parents except food, a roof over my head, and clothes. The rest they provide I am extremely grateful of, as you should be.

And seriously, next time you have the chance to get a new car, don't get a fvcking Liberty. God damn.

Best day in your life = Worst day in mine.

Nice to see you have generous parents, mine unfortunately didn't have much to pass on to me. I work hard now to make sure my kids will have what they need. But no way would I ever buy them a phone, car and laptop without them putting something into it also (other than good grades).

"Get off your ass and do something about it"? Wouldn't that be the exact opposite of what you yourself did?

Don't explain yourself, just enjoy your new toys and ignore the trolls :)

Nice presentation, jack*ss. You might as well be holding up a $10000 stack of bills on a string and dangling in front of everyone's face. Oh, and all while you're wearing a shirt that says, "I'm a spoiled fvcktard that eats off my mommy's tummy."
