I HATE THEM!

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT LITTLE KIDS OR THE ONES THAT HAVE ACTUALLY MADE SOMETHING OF THEMSELVE AT AN EARLY AGE.

I AM TAKING ABOT THE ONES THAT DO NOTHING BUT SPONGE OFF THEIR PARENTS AND THEN BLOAT ABOUT IT, EXPECTING TO BE POPULAR!!

WHILE I WAS AT COLLEGE WE TWO OF THEM IN OUR CLASS, THICK AS $H!T AND ALL MOUTH.

I HAD PAST MY TEST A FEW WEEKS INTO COLLEGE AND HAD BEEN SAVING FOR 2 YEARS TO BUY A GOOD LOOKING, RELYABLE SECOND HAND CAR, HAD £1500 TO SPEND SO BOUGHT MY FIRST MK2 GOLF GTi, IT WAS RED AND LOOKED MINT. TOOK IT TO COLLEGE AND ALL MY FRIENDS CONGRATULATED ME, THEN CAME ALONG MR 'MY DADDY WILL BUY ME ANYTHING I WANT, SO THERE' (WE WERE ALL AROUND 18, BUT THIS GUY SOUNDED LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD IN A SWEET SHOP)

THE FIRST THING HE SAID WAS 'NICE D REG CAR!!, IT HAS NOT FALLED APART YET? HAS IT?'

NOW NORMALLY I AM NOT A VIOLENT PERSON (I'M A VERY QUIET PERSON, THE ONES TO LOOK OUT FOR APPARENTLY)BUT I COULD NOT HELP BUT LAY INTO HIM. AFTER I HAD FINISHED WITH HIM I FELT MUCH BETTER AND THE FACT THAT HE NEVER OPENED HIS SILVER SPOONED FILLED MOUTH IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN MADE IT ALL WORTHWILE.

BTW I DON'T CONDONE ANY VIOLECE AND WAS HEAVILY BOLLOC'D BY THE TEACHER THAT DAY

Umar,

I kind of get the gist of where you're comming from. I too had some spoilt rich bastard classmates. It does piss you off a bit at the time (when driving around in you mums mellow yello Metro), but don't rise to it.

Besides, they all left school at 16 hopelessly unqualified, whilst I did the usual A-levels, Degree, then ended up with my own IT company, sold that and went on to be a senior IT player Mr Bransons organisation.

Bottom line is, they are still driving around in the same type of cars they had at school, whilst I have cars sitting on my driveway in excess of 50K (which aren't exactly breaking the bank in costs), own my own house, and have a decent standard of life.

BTW I'm 25 and come from a bog basic background, I just worked hard.

So, Umar, if you have a problem with these rich twats then do something with you life rather getting angry.

Cheers

Steve

One word of advice, don't work in a high street bank!!

The pay is s**t.

I've worked in one for the last 5 years could earn more as a road sweeper.

I kid you not!!

Christ James, I bet you wish you still had that LandRover, all pre production examples are fetching good money, but one built in the 1800s - well you could name your price.......

it happen to me before...When I was in uni, other lad is sooo spoiled brat.. guess what he did...

At 17 after he passed his driving test..his father bought him a Subaru Imprezza Turbo..

At 18, again his father bought him Nissan Skyline R33 GTR V-SPEC with personalised number plate.

The reason he got the car is..he told his father if he doesn't buy him that car and he will drop out of uni..spoiled or what?!?

So fact he is loner in the rest of the uni year as everyone hated his guts.

Sorry chaps. Many of us are self-made (e.g. me) but jealousy of those who are fortunate enough not to have had to work for it doesn't help you do any better in life so what is the point?

Hear hear! As someone also born without a silver spoon, I agree this discussion is getting a bit sad...

There are people who are exceedingly wealthy and you wouldn`t know it as well though.. As had been said before, stop worrying about them and get on with your money making..( PS, girl in my college had an M3 Cab on her 17th B`day, which she totalled and daddy bought her another one ! )

The rich kiddies who show off are usually nursing a major inferiority complex, particularly if their parents are self-made. It can be tough growing up in the shadow of a father who has been really successful and knowing you're not made of the same stuff. They go through life feeling inadequate, which is really pretty sad. No point getting wound up by these people.
