Is it just me, or are some people just handed everything on a silver platter since the moment they were born? This pisses me off so much. Ive got a friend that ive known since high school and lets just say his parents are well off. When we were kids every time i would go to his house, his parents took us out to benihanas (really fancy and expensive restaurant) like it was no big deal. They also gave me my own room and always bought me stuff even tho i wasnt their kid. He had so many videogames that many were in fact un opened. This completely astounded me. How could he have videogames he never played? When i was little i only had what my parents could afford to get me, which was usually just the basics and nothing fancy. I wouldnt say that im poor, but im very far from rich or even middle class. What sucks is everytime he would come over to my house he would complain about everyhing like the beds and my moms cooking and he was always a greedy asshole with all his stuff like gameboy color and stuff (this was in the late 90s or so). And now here we are in 2014. I was kinda forced to have him over at my house for a bit and what do you know this asshole hasnt changed one bit. Hes still a spoiled, greedy, socially awkward fuck. Ive been forced to hang out with him because his family and mine have known each other a long time. Hes always paranoid that im tryig to steal his things and he stereotypes everyone and thinks the world revolves around him. As if that wasnt enough, he literally only eats junk food like he seriously eats fast food everyday. When i make a home cooked meal he refuses to eat it even tho its all i can make. He treats his body like total shit while i have always been health cautious, and somehow i still end up with more medical problems ( cancer, vascular surgery, appendicitis, etc.)on top of that his parents give him over 30,000 dollars a month so he never has to work, while i slave at a minimum wage job and barely scrape by. I know this threas is pointless, full of typos, and not spaced properly but i just really had to get it all out. It pisses me off so much. How could such a horrible person be given such great conditions, while normal people like me try their best at life an still fail? Sent from Eric Forman's basement, Point Place Wisconsin
Such is life. There will always be people that are better off than you. I don't understand the cooking him dinner part...kinda lost me..why would you cook him dinner lol... I assume you live with your parents? But I understand your sentiment. Maybe he will be spoiled for his entire life, but what kind of character does that build? Life is more than material possessions and money...believe me, money and I don't have the best relationship. But in the end this is all so trivial. Let him be the douche and keep the interactions to the minimum and create happiness in your own life.
he was over at my house because he was in town and needed a place to stay for two days. Anyways yeah i dont have tht much food in my apartment so i just made some pasta but he refused to eat anything that wasnt junk or fast food. Sent from Eric Forman's basement, Point Place Wisconsin
Ah ok I understand. Some people are just douche bags. His parents are really doing a disservice to him by giving so much money. Sounds like he'll never have to work a day in his life.
So then tell him to leave you alone because you don't like associating with annoying, pompous, spoiled douches.
I agree with you OP. I watched the Osbournes on MTV and Ozzy's kids are spoiled as fuck. Jack should have had his ass kicked many times, and don't get me started on that fuckin lil bitch of a daughter of his. If Sharon reads this, she is gonna hunt me down and kick my ass.
it really sucks there has to be people around like that. I have been so frustrated at this for so long
i really want to, but cant because his parents love me and they have been great to me and so nice that i would feel bad telling him to fuck off as his parents have been better to me than my own. Ive also know his family since before highschool. But i figure the both of us are adults, i can tell he isnt enjoying his stay ( hes literally been on his phone the entire time), im just gonna wait it out until he leaves. Ive been pretending like he isnt there and hes been doing the same. The only time he says anything is when he whines about my gf spending the night ( he has been jealous of my relationships with women since high school). I just want this fucker to leave so i can enjoy myself in the comfort and privacy of my own home that i worked to pay for (something he knows nothing about). I may not have many material possessions but i was enjoying myself just fine until he came along and criticized just about everything in my house. Like come on bitch im letting you stay in m house and you treat me and my things like shit Sent from Eric Forman's basement, Point Place Wisconsin
Guys i just wanna say, it feels really good to vent. I may just make it thru the next days with my sanity intact... Sent from Eric Forman's basement, Point Place Wisconsin
my thoughts exactly. 30,000$ would last me years Sent from Eric Forman's basement, Point Place Wisconsin
I had a friend like that. Until one time he called my moms cooking garbage to her face and I threw him out and haven't seen him since.
I understand where your frustration is coming from OP. Although it might seem like this so called friend has an easy- route in life since his parents have supported him financially and fed him with a silver spoon is going to prove the difficulty awaiting him when mom and dad are not there for him anymore. You are comparing his upbringing to your own only because you have gotten to spend time with him and his family and saw their extravagant spending giving you the illusion that his life is perfect l suppose. I've grown up with people like the friend you described and the way they're brain is wired is very cold and narcissistic. They value their lives based on the amount of money their mommy and daddy makes and the pampered lifestyle that comes with it. They have not truly lived since they're parents have sheltered them their whole lives. Don't get me wrong though, not all people privileged to be born into a wealthy family adopt that lifestyle and attitude. You should never worry about another persons life and money but your own and your families. His fate was decided just as yours was and feeling envy, jealousy, and disdain is a normal human response but letting that judge your perception of him is what will make you feel angry and bitter towards him instead of shrugging it off and dealing with your shit. Acknowledge that your life and his are of equal value and that money doesn't' travel with us when we pass away and that our experiences, deeds, and trials & tribulations whether big or small are what really matters. Also next time he has a dumb comment about a home cooked meal many people never get to enjoy just tell him people are starving worldwide and if his response is arrogant and rude then cut him off as a friend.
