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.

Bloke I work withhas no need to work at all, having sold a business for a fair amount and retired early, but still does all the hours God sends. 50, 60 hours a week, for no good reason that I could see.

Fuck me, I said, even if I could afford that I wouldn't buy it. What was it, gold plated with knobs on? My bags come from Oxfam, or the car boot sale if I fancy a haggle. 50p-£2, tops.
Seems though that the wife's spending isn't the reason for his continuing interest in work, as she can well afford it.
It's the sheer exhaustion of being around someone so obsessed with spending money. Apparently gets tedious after a while.
*Over seven times as much as my current car!
