Brag about how much money you have in the bank because you quit wasting money on crap - see if he can top that!

Tell him your denon system costs twice as much as his bose system so it must be better.

last time i did that he was all freaking depressed and bent out of shape.

other people judge him bigtime for being a stuck up brat.. even though he usually isn't. iunno


also.. I CANNOT have anything better than him
I buy a laptop; he buys a better one
i buy a wireless g router, HE buys one to replace his almost new wireless b

i buy a new dvd player that happens to be better than his, he buys one better than mine

Tell him I need some money and he should buy me stuff. :D

Yeah I would do this too. I would say:

"Look mate, just because you spend more money on your peice of sh1t bose system doesnt make it better than mine, you want benchmarked sound comparison's to prove it? No? Then accept I researched mine, and it is better than yours."

Then explain:

"Thats not the point anyway, the point is, I happen to have decent stuff, some of it being better than yours, so would you shut the fvck up telling me how your always better than me, it pisses me right off and im sick of hearing it".

Then continue:

"I dont want to sound harsh but how do you think you would HONESTLY feel if I constantly told you everything I had was better than yours?"

See what he replys and sort your differences out. Make him feel like sh1t for causing you so much hassle, get an apology from him.
If he insist's hes in the right, explain what other people think of him. You dont need people putting you down in life, believe me, explain that to him, then explain you had the decency to stay friends with him.

Thats what I would do.
Dan.


P.s.
This whole sqeezing butt thing freaks the hell out of me :confused: :Q

I wouldn't say you're over-reacting... comparing Denon to Bose... hahaha

(Hands down to Denon by a MILE)

and comparing Nissan to Infiniti is mental cause they are made by the same company.... just laugh @ this person next time.

What's a better lotion to use in this situation? Regular old Jergins @ $2.50 a bottle -- or, the stuff that is sold at the cosmetics counter at a high-end department store for $50 a bottle??

Inquiring minds want to know ...

:D

same thing with my roommate, he is always trying to get better things than me, until i finally decided to take different interests from him. He tries to get me into new hobbies with him, but i just refuse because i know he'll just get something better than me, just cause he so damn used to having the best of the best. Note: he claims he doesn't have money, nor does his family, but manages to get money magically.

It got to a point where i simply avoided him all summer and such. I don't think i'd want to stop being friends with him, considering how we've known each other since sophomore year in high school, we're 3rd year college now. Anyways, simple answer, just ignore it, and if it doesn't work ignore him. He will soon or LATER realize that he's being stupid and change. If not, you'll get to a certain point in that ignoring period where you just don't give a damn anymore. goog luck.

Get a SUPA HAWT looking GF, and see if he can top it, if he can, then you bow down to him, cuz joo got pwn3d. IF he can not, that oughta shut him up. Prove to him how your system sounds so much better than his, prove to him how you can kick his butt in your "highly modified" car. If you can do that, should shut him up also. May be all he wants is for you to agree with him, if it doesn't bother you, next time he say something, just agree, like "My Bose sounds better than your stereo", just look at him with a straight face and say "You're right". He wouldn't know what to do after that, trust me.

Then maybe he'll use some NICER lotion on your butt, and have a nicer squeeze too? Win win situation.

LOL

I used to be a bit like him but realised it was annoying.....I still have nicer stuff though ;) but no need to go on about it.


????....You used to get lotion and squeeze your friends butt :Q

your friend sounds boring. My sister-in-law does that to me sometimes. Last time she said I should get a BMW or a Range Rover instead of a nissan. Of course she also bought a $4000.00 washer and dryer combo that incessantly beeps and never fully dries anything, so I take her recommendations with a grain of salt ;).
