My friend is a spoiled brat.

[gamarada717]

Ever had a friend that got everything that he wants without paying for it or doing any work himself? Yeah, well I'm about to die because he's so spoiled (Just normal male jealousy, I know) Also, all of his hobbies and sports are the same as mine.

So it all starts 2 years ago, he gets a new drumset. An 8 piece, which is pretty expensive. Then he gets 5 new cymbals. This adds up to around 2500 dollars. Then, he gets a new RT Pro and the whole paintball shibang (all the gear, he played with me once with a talon). Around comes soccer season, and he gets a pair of softground manias ($200), a pair of hardground manias ($200), and the whole adidas warm up kit. I think, surely, his parents are about done. But no. He gets an american made fender strat (I have a mexican made one) AND a big *** Marshall amp. He has never played guitar before, either. He doesn't touch his strat until 2 weeks ago. So, let's move on. Christmas rolls around (this is 2003), and he gets one of those Dell XPS computer things. Also, he gets a new bike, another Marshall, and a 40 inch widescreen FOR HIS ROOM. Along with the widescreen comes a 7.1 surround sound system, a new DVD player, and an Xbox. Lets jump forward 15 days, when he recieves an OCDP snare, 30 ply, vented. Another 15 days rolls around, and he gets a new Pearl double pedal eliminator. And today, his birthday, he gets 300 dollars. You would think that might be it, right? Nope. He gets a limited edition, quilt top, yellow Les Paul. Jesus Christ. The guitar that I wanted soo bad, and he goes out and buys it. I talked about it for like, 4 months. I can't stand it anymore.

If you have lots of money, I think you should spend it. But not like this. When his parents take the credit card away from him (yes, credit card at 14), he's going to die. Of course, I doubt that they will take it away. He never works for anything. He's a nice guy and all, but he bought my guitar...At least he's my drummer for our band, and I can use his Marshalls. He's ok at drums, but I'm better at both drumming and guitar...It's pathetic. When I do yardwork for my mom, I don't get a payment like she promised, but "The satisfaction of a good looking yard". Sorry, I just need to vent somewhere....

Stop whining.

see when you have friends like that you can just become closer to them so you get to associate with all of their cool stuff. plus be able to receive benfits yourself


if you cant beat them, join them

[Kevmaster]

you'll learn in life. There is always someone richer than you. Thats just tough <B>*POOF*</B>. You'll also realize, however, there is always someone who has it worse than you

<B>*Warning: No Cussing*</B> -Miscue

I thought we were done with the poofs, no?

Anyway, that does suck, I know how it is. I know alot of people like that. Eh, whatever, you'll eventually get the last laugh.

Ask to borrow it and just keep comming up with excuses not to give it back, if he is that rich he will forget about it eventually

Ooooh, I like that

[Fixion]

I know what you mean. I have some spoiled friends too, but not THAT spoiled. I envy their situation, but I'm happy with what I have.

Just don't let it hurt your friendship.

I had a friend like that. She gets whatever she wants. No questions asked. Hasn't worked a day in her life.

I think just about everyone has a friend like this.

I have one who, at 21, has the single expense of insurance (free car, rent paid for, food card, etc). It's always been this way for him (think divorced parents buying their kid's love). When we were younger he used to rag on me about me not saving money (I have the expense of...well everything in my life: rent/food/gas/car/insurance/phone/internet/etc). Finally we had a chat, and I explained when your expenses are $60/month, saving money is easy, and him talking down to me pissed me off. We got over it. He understands my position, I respect him for not blowing all the money he is given.

There's nothing you can do about it. There will always be someone else, sometimes very close to you, that doesn't have to work as hard for what they get. Get over it or find a new friend.

So? I still got a bigger penis then he does

[splatattack33]

just beat him up and take his stuff

[The Action Figure]

I used to be jealous of my friends stuff,


but now I just dont care any more,
now to me its like less is more,
the game of life is played,
and the things that we hold as gold is made,
but the will blow away,
thell disolve in the end like crumbs one day

[Buff]

I think people are damaged by that......
their parents feel guily from not being good parents for what ever reason, so they buy the brats whatever they want.....I am in highschool, and I have to pay all expenses.....including a car, insurance, gas, eating out, books at college, etc

[tranman]

Yeah but when rich people get bored of something, they usually sell it for dirt cheap! If he doesn't use the Les Paul, buy it for $100
