Spoilt BratsMr Newton sighs, "ever known anyone so spoilt you would love to strangle? I lived with a Paris Hilton-a-like who complained about everything, stomped her feet and whinged till she got her way. There was a happy ending though: she had to drop out of uni due to becoming pregnant after a one night stand..."
Who's the spoiltest person you've met? Has karma come to bite them yet? Or did you in fact end up strangling them? Uncle B3ta (and the serious crimes squad) wants to know.

Can't believe some parents let their kids become like this...I was lucky enough a few years ago to go to one of the quite good drama schools in this country and be taught by some exceptional teachers. We were pushed hard and they gave their all to bring out the best in us.
There was one teacher / director who was loved by everybody. He was patient, gentle, intelligent and was as approachable and cuddly as your grandfather.
To earn a bit of cash on the side he'd teach at the local public school which was only 5 minutes away from the drama school. It was for them a bit of a coup - the teacher in question (let's call him Fred) had had 20 years teaching experience to some of the cream of English acting talent, and prior to becoming a teacher had been a respected and up-and-coming actor (before having to quit the profession for family reasons).
So, Fred had his drama class down at the local school, and sure, drama is a minor subject in any school, but he treated them like he treated us - as intelligent adults who he wanted to get the best from. Sadly, his pupils (or at least one of them) were incapable of reciprocating the favour.
One pupil, when asked why he didn't wish to do some exercise or other replied
"I don't have to."
"Why not?" asked Fred.
"Because my father pays your wages."
Fred didn't face another term after that - wouldn't teach the spoilt little shits any more. Still, their loss. I hope that kid has a bright career lined up washing dishes somewhere.

A school we used to play at rugby (I didn't play, myself)had a favorite chant of "your Dad works for my Dad!" repeated ad nauseum.

They had that at my brother's school.Whenever they played another school, the chant would be: "Your Dad works for my Dad, and your Mum cleans my house."
Charming.
