Irrational peopleFreddie Woo tells us "I'm having to drive 500 miles to pick up my son from the ex's house because she won't let him take the train in case he gets off at the wrong station. He's 19 years old and has A-Levels and everything." - Tell us about illogical and irrational people who get on your nerves.

From An Online Dictionarypre·ten·tious (pr-tnshs)
adj.
1. Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
2. Making or marked by an extravagant outward show; ostentatious.
On the evidence of his post I'd suggest that the OP's claim to be 'chilled out' to fit the definition.

oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/pretentious
adjective
attempting to impress by affecting greater importance or merit than is actually possessed:
pretentious art films
the pretentious jargon of wine experts
I'm not sure that this definition would apply to his post, and tbh what pisses me off is that the word becomes a catchall insult for those who it actually defines.
