If you've met one of these people you'll know exactly how fscking irritating they are -

people that act like a complete spoiled brat even though they aren't (they just wish they were...)

case in point - a 'friend' (used to be much better friends) family isn't hurting for money - but they are nowhere near 'rich' - his mom works (not because she enjoys it but because she needs to..)

he is always "conning" his parents into buying him crap.. I bought a house (we're both 21) - he got upset and convinced one of his grandparents to cash in part of their retirement to help him buy his own house - this is something he's "promising" to pay back - but historically it won't happen.

His car, computer, most of his utilities, furniture, etc etc etc are paid for by his parents - he got his job (which is not that great - doesn't make enough live somewhere other than an apartment..) through a friend who shoehorned him into his position.

he's always complaining about how none of us was to go out every day for lunch - that we should stop "being so cheap" - he's always making fun of someone's car/house/stuff that isn't as nice as what his parents bought for him - basically judging and looking down on everyone.



These people need to grow the fsck up and stop breast feeding off of mommy and daddy. I wish his parents would one day just stop carrying him along.... let him see what life is really like

He's not pseudo-spoiled. He's spoiled.

And EVERY TIME he makes fun of someone's stuff because what someone else bought him is better, throw that fact in his face. Remind him that he would have sh!t if he wasn't being supported by others.

I can see why you don't want to associate with someone that shallow and irritating. Who wants to be around people like that?

Yeah, I hate spoiled kids too, but some of your replies are coming off as jealous b*tching.

Spoiled people are one thing, but smug people who go on about how independent, great, self-motivated, etc. they are can be alot worse. They'll never mention that they just had lots of opportunity

Not intended towards OP.

I am just saying that accepting help is not the worst thing a person can do. But acting spoiled about it is what I think the OP is getting at.

I hate people that bitch about friends but don't have the balls to actually say something to their face. Maybe you are just jealous of him and have to express it here in a rant.

Good call. And it's his parents that need a slap in the face for enabling the a-hole. At fvcking 21, he should be taking care of himself. See this crap all the time and he's headed for a real reality check at some point.

everyone has friends like this, an unfortunate biproduct of the society we live in.
judge your friend on his better merits and try to see past his shortcomings.

I know someone similar to this. He doesn't do the chores or cook in the apartment and is so arrogant about everything like he's so much better than us. Spoiled bastards.

I just stayed at a friends house in Kelowna, BC. His parents bought the house for him. $389,000.

He has no education, but this kid will never have to worry about money. His dad is worth millions, and he and his sister will get it all when he dies.

It's unfortunate because his dad came here with nothing, got an engineering degree and started his business. He worked for everything he had.

Now a comment from someone who in all of your point of view is spoiled...


Ok, I am a senior in college, I work after school, and am working at school during the summer. I dont pay for my education my parents do, I dont pay for my housing, most of my food, my car, and such. At no point did I tell my parents to do this, or nor did I ever really ask them to. Simply put, my parents care for me a lot and dont want me to be in debt when I graduate from college. I am extreamly grateful for what I have and what I have been given, and I NEVER insult what other poeople have if its less then me. The majority of my friends are a lot less well off then me, and I in no way insult them about it. My parents are even nice enough to offer atleast 2 of my friends a room if they ever end up without a place to stay, or cant afford one.

The plan is when I graduate college I am off the of the money, and must fend for myself. Again I do work, I am pretty good in handling my money, and am acconting major so that doesnt hurt either.

If tomorrow my parnets told me I was cut off....well I would be screwe din the short term cause I would not be able to pay everything I woul dhave to pay. But in the long run I would be able to cut back, and get by. Ive even told my parents that if they wanted to they didnt have to pay for my college and would be fine taking loans out. ONE problem...I cant for atleast a year becuase apparently to get financial aid I would need to be independant for a year..that would be a year without college.

/end spoiled guys point of view


The guy you describe is spoiled..but he is also an ass. Why would you get your grandparents RETIRMENT money to buy a house. They are old, let them have the money they earned. And the fact that he insults and makes fun of people less fortunate then him really shows what kind of a man he is. Sadly...there is a reason why so many succesfull people are assholes.
