My wife’s friend.Her husband bought her a puppy, spend probably $600 on the actual dog, training, food, toys, etc.He is the one that took it outside to pee, fed it, took it on walks, etc. Pretty much did everything to take care of it.She throws an absolute ballistic fit because the puppy likes him more. Stopped wearing her wedding ring, changed all her profile pictures to not include her husband, etc.Total spoiled b***h.
A girl I have known most of my life. Her parents treat her like she is the queen of England or something. Growing up, if there was a new toy out that she wanted, her parents bought her 5 (and if possible, in each color) because she would break her toys.She had 2-3 bedrooms. One was big enough to be a studio apartment alone. Where did she sleep? Her parent’s bedroom.If she wanted to go somewhere, like Disney World, her parents dropped everything to start planning that vacation.When she started driving, she had 3 new cars in 8 months. Not because she crashed them or they broke down, but because she just had to have the newest model. I think she is on her 15th car now.Never has had a job. Her parents pay for her and now her son.In school, she had a “tutor.” I say it in quotes because the tutor just did her homework for her. I’m surprised she can even read and write, honestly. Although, reading her Facebook statuses shows me she can’t write much better than my 9 year old.The worst part was… if she didn’t like someone, she had her parents do their best to try to ruin that person’s life. She got her 7th grade teacher fired, claiming he was being inappropriate with her. He wasn’t, he never was in a room with her alone. He was a kind, old man, but he didn’t put up with her not doing her homework. He failed her in a few subjects. He was never charged or arrested or anything, no legal trouble from it, but the school did force him into retirement because they were scared.
One time I asked a girl in my class if she wanted an orange. She said yes and I handed her one. She asked what it was. I was a little confused. “It’s an orange…” I said. She said, “No, oranges don’t have this rough skin, they’re just sections that you break apart” I was shocked and explained that it was the peel and all oranges had them. She said “Oh, I guess my butler has always peeled them for me” She was 16 at the time. The entire class was furious.
There was this girl in a class I had at the university that said she could not for the life of her understand how anyone could take a loan during their studies to pay for it all (at least here that is the most common way of doing it even though most people also work extra as well). She said people who did that are stupid and they make her sick.So someone asked her how she does it and she said that her mom payed for her apartment, food, car, have fun money etc. Everyone basically just sat there with their mouths open in disbelief.
One time in elementary school my friend had a party for all the kids in the class and his mom ordered like 10 pizzas and when they arrived they were square cut. He threw a fit because he wanted triangles, so his mom threw the pizzas away and reordered new pizza.
Myself, I was given a house and a car. Fancy stuff.I don’t deserve the help I get, and I tell you: I would rather have a tight-knit and loving family.
I saw a girl throw her brand new iphone on the ground to shatter the screen and get a new one because it wasn’t the rose gold model.
Girl I went to college whose parents paid her a ‘salary’ which was more than I earned in my job. She then used to tell her parents she needed extra money for course books and go spend it on booze. Her parents didn’t want her to work because it would interfere with her studies. She got f****d up so much on booze and drugs that she ended up dropping out of college and then they bought her a flat to live in.
This kid I went to highschool with got a porsche for his 16th birthday. Keep in mind 16 in my state is when you can get a permit, so he didn’t even have a license. He got a new one later in highschool after backing out into a tree. He basically was handed admission to an Ivy league school because his grandparents had donated a building.
This guy I knew stole $2000 out of his parents' bank account, spent all of it, and then proceed to scream at his parents for even acknowledging what happened. They didn’t even punish him. Then for the next two weeks complained nonstop about how he hates his parents.
My Aunt and Uncle are wealthy. I was at breakfast with my my uncle and two cousins years ago. The younger of the two cousins, female, took 50 dollars from her father’s wallet while he was in the rest room. She walked out and came back with a cd and some clothing item. The following exchange occurred. “Did you take money from daddy’s wallet?” To which she replied “yes”. He takes a roll of cash out gives the male cousin 50 and says “now that’s fair”.
There was a kid in my fraternity whose parents were literally billionaires. We actually had a couple of them but this kid was just dumb rich. For making the deans list one semester, his parents let him get any car he wanted under $100,000 (I am not making this up). Kid got pissed because the package he wanted on his Jaguar F Type made it over 100k and his parents said fine after enough protest. At least I got to drive it sometimes though. Sick car.
My sister.She is 17 and has a 1 year old daughter and is pregnant with her 2nd. She lives rent-free with my parents and has never had a job. My mother does all her high school work for her because she desperately wants her to graduate despite my sister not caring. She has never had a job and has no plans for a job in the near future even though she should be done with high school in December.My mom just bought a new car and gave my sister her “old” 2011 Kia Sorrento. Her 18th birthday is coming up and my mom is buying her a macbook. Now I am older but had a job at her age, I pay for my own car, and my mom refused to get me a mac when I went off to college (too expensive).My sister is headed nowhere fast because of how spoiled she is even after TWO teenage pregnancies.
I went to high school with a girl whose Dad was one of the top 10 highest paid trial lawyers in the country. Every year, she would invite a handful of friends to go with her on a Spring Break trip to The Atlantis in the Bahamas. This was an all expenses paid trip, including flying to and from the resort on her family’s private jet. Still, she was always lowkey and surprisingly grounded given her wealth and privilege. Her friends? Not so much. Our junior or senior year, two of the girls she invited on the trip came back afterwards and immediately started bitching about how the trip was lame because the resort’s nicest suite (literally one of the world’s priciest hotels at 25K+ per night) was booked up that year so they had to slum it in one of their lesser, though still ridiculously luxurious private suites. TL;dr - Yes, these basic b*tches had the obscene entitlement to complain about their accommodations after being taken on a free, week-long vacation where their friend’s family was shelling out upwards of a quarter of a million dollars per person on a Spring Break trip.
I go to school in a fairly well off school district. I once heard one of my classmates complaining that their Mercedes that she got for her 16th birthday wasn’t the proper shade of red. So of course her dad dropped like $5k on a new paintjob for her, but then she apparently decided that she actually liked the old color better. She basically had a screaming match about it with her dad, during my lunch period, in front of probably 500 kids.

This was about 35 years ago at a high school. An 18 year old girl was drunk, sitting on the hood of her BMW, yelling at a cop saying “You can’t arrest me! My Dad is a doctor, he’s rich! You can’t touch me!”
My nephew, and I feel sorry for him. His parents are going through a s**t show of a divorce and because of debts both his parents are going to be financially hit very hard, he’s 8 and only knows having a luxurious lifestyle. He has a room full of toys, most of them never opened, every piece of technology that comes out (iPad, laptops, consoles etc) and goes abroad a few times every year. His Parents aren’t wealthy in the slightest mind you but they love to spend and show off, especially his Mum. She dresses in all designer gear so so does her son, she will not buy him normal kids clothes, all of his stuff is super expensive. His Dad is also not good with money so as a couple they were a disaster. Because he’s so young I don’t know how he’ll cope with the change. He’s already a little nightmare at times, we took him to the zoo with his neices and he had a right strop in the gift shop because there was a limit to how much we’d spend on him, even his neices who are the same age had a go at him for his behaviour!
My sister threw a fit a few years ago because she got a black iPhone instead of a white one.Classmate complained and spoke poorly of her parents because they got her the $600 purse she wanted…. In the wrong shade of brown. Now, these shades were incredibly close to the point where you really couldn’t tell the difference. It was wild, very ungrateful girl.Then there was a guy in my grade who thought he could buy female classmates with Apple products and would threaten to rape the ones who refused. We all came up to the school office and police station to report him once, parents threatened to sue the school and all of us if he got in trouble and cops said it was ‘boys being boys’Tldr: Grew up in wealthy area, girls threw fits over stupid shit and a guy thought he could buy female classmates.
My mom’s old good friend was one of the most spoiled brats I know. She grew up poor, humble and lived on a farm. Worked hard to support herself and eventually was the first one in her family to go to college. Mom said that she was the smartest girl and had everything going for her. Then she met a man who was almost twice in her age and they got married when she was 25. He wasn’t rich but had enough money to support her so she quit school and became a SAHM. The husband died when she was 29 and she found herself a single mom with a very large insurance policy. Enough for her to travel around the world and buy a few mansions if she wanted.Mom said that money changed her but I think it drew out her real personality to the surface. She treated people like servants, only associated with the best brands and would throw tantrums if things didn’t go her way. I met her and her two daughters a few times. She would comment about my clothes, life style and that it was so sad my mom didn’t have enough money to use on me. That it was so unfortunate my mom had to work and couldn’t give me a free house like she did to her own kids. I’m like, b**h, you got money from your husband. The same husband who was driving in the rain, the night he died, to go visit his lover because he couldn’t stand your whiny limpy cold as anymore.I don’t see her as much anymore, thank god. Last I heard, she had lost most of her money due to carelessly spending it and had to move out of state to get away from the debt collectors. Good riddance.
My stepdaughter because when she was in college she had a checking account and the only rule was don’t overdraft. Dad never said a word about what she spent money on, just please please please pay attention to the balance and let him know when it got low. Sure Dad, okay Dad, of course Dad.. but she would time and again be in the red. Spoiled because he never cut her off. He would lecture and she would disrespect him.I’m not her biggest fan
I’ve worked at a private school in the UK this past year, and I have a few examples of kids just having no idea they were spoiled, which just made it worse.-16yr old comes into school on Monday complaining how unfair it was that his dad grounded him for crashing their plane. I asked him how bad it was, and he said ‘it was only £40,000 worth of damage, which his dad can afford so what’s the problem’. My jaw dropped.-Another 16yr old asks me what I’m doing for the summer break. I tell him working mainly, with perhaps a weekend to visits a few friends. He COULD NOT wrap his head around why I wasn’t travelling, going on holiday etc, then followed to go on about how he’d spend his summer at his private lake.Saving the best one for last folks.-On his birthday, one of the 18yr old students received a chain of hotels. A fully operating 5* chain that would all be officially owned under his name. The nerve of this kid to complain it wasn’t what he wanted made me really resent working there for a while.Edit: To those doubting the truthfulness of these statements, this was the only 3 outlandish moments I had over the year so out of 800 kids, it’s a small percentage.And to clarify, the 18yr old with the hotel was not expected to run it, he simply would get the owners share of the profits from then on.
My neighbors. They moved in 8 years ago as a newly wed couple and when my family tried to introduce ourselves to them, they ignored us. Their parents bought them a $1.5 million home (all paid for, no mortgage), a new Maserati Granturismo, and new Mercedes G wagon all as wedding gifts.All of us other neighbors have tried to be nice, but we hate them.
Has a $2,000 purse, grew up in a million dollar house, has been on multiple expensive vacations to Europe and Asia with her family, then claims that she grew up middle class and that the reason why she’s not a doctor or engineer is because of the patriarchy keeping women from doing it.
My brother’s girlfriend’s daughter screams whenever she can’t have what she wants. They give her what she wants so she’ll stop screaming.
I worked at a summer camp in Maine this summer, where the kids parents paid well over $10k for them to go to this camp. One day a kid was telling me about how his mom gets mad when he rides the first floor hover board onto the elevator and on the second floor. Instead she wants him to use the stairs to the second floor and then use the second floor’s hover board.Tl;Dr kid I know doesn’t like using stairs or multiple hover boards, would rather use one hover board and an elevator in his house.
My cousins. My aunt and uncle can never say no to them and they have now drained my grandmothers small fortune. My other uncle contributed to that as well but now my grandmother is selling her place and moving to a smaller one because of how much money she has had to give to that side of the family. I love them but they are just spoiled as can be
My girlfriend…apparently her ex did everything for her and her parents were loaded so she never worried about money. As we were walking one time, she casually mentioned she didn’t know how to fill up gas in her car. My forehead is still a little sore from that face palm.
A previous housemate refused to take his clothes off the washing machine and got extremely pissed if I took them out to use it (he had no bucket for the clothes and refused to buy one).He told me that I was expected to take his clothes out and put them on the dryer. When I had finished using the washing machine and needed to use the dryer, I was expected to put his clothes on my bucket until I was finished, then return them to the drier and leave them there for him.He refused to understand how spoiled that c**p was and he left his clothes on the machine for 3~5 days straight. There’s a list of s****y things this spoiled brat did and it escalated to the point where the police was involved multiple times. Sigh.
My cousins. Both of them are drug addicts and have six figure trust funds. They went to college but when they graduated they did nothing. They literally just sit on their as*es and bring nothing to the world.
My ex gave me this speech when we broke up. “I worked hard for everything I have. I hustled and put the work in and put a roof over our heads and food on our table. I go to work for 12 hours a day to better my career…“It went on for a while.He was put through a $100,000 trade school for film, had every apartment paid for until he was about a year and a half out of school. When he graduated, his mom spent about 30? 40? Thousand dollars on equipment for him to go to work. He also got a new car around this time because his old car was about 8 years old. His mother funded both of us to move to Los Angeles and eventually bought us a house.She did help with my portion of the rent. Because of her, I was able to invest the money I made working as a barista to start my own business. The first 6 months, business was slow, as it goes… I was soon making 2-4 thousand a month (this month, for example, I’m about 3,500 in) and I became good at my job. I also cleaned, cooked/organized meals and took care of our dogs.Because of his mother, When we broke up, I was 100% independent financially. He called me lazy every day but his house fell apart without me. His dogs were dirty. The yard was destroyed. I dog sat and the only food in his fridge was Little caesars. He finally admitted that I wasn’t lazy, I just couldn’t do it all on my own. He still thinks he put that roof over his head all on his own.
Kid I know gets I wanna say 150-200 (has no job) a week from his mom (she has a very high paying job). He blows through it and asks her for more. He buys all this expensive jewelry (watches and s**t) and clothing (like $100 pairs of paints) gets anything he wants and never had to actually earn it.Edit: kid is also in his 20s.
Decided to get some waffles as a way to take a break from helping out at my grandfather’s funeral. Saw my friend there. It turns out that she has been messaging me and thought i refused to reply when i was busy entertaining guests and my friends. She wailed loudly, saying that she has been doing too much and she feels that I don’t need her in my life. All these happened in the full view of the crowded cafe and my other friends. So much for taking a break from all the ongoing drama at the funeral…
Our school organised a skiing trip in the alps for my class. One of the girls went two weeks early to practice. Majority of the year could only just afford the trip.
