It has absolutely nothing to do with class snobbery.
I have several friends who are all what you would deem upper class, one of whom is actually a "lady", in the none gendered way. It isn't an issue between us in any way, but still I like how you automaticaly assumed that this was the case without actually knowing the guy and knowing how much of a prick he is.

One of my best friends at the time was a multi millionaire. His dad works for BP. His whole family is richer than I could ever wish to be in my wildest dreams.

The difference is, he was an awesome bloke, and at no point in time allowed his parents to pay his way through university. He worked for his money because he appreciated the value of being your own man, and not living out of mummy and daddy's back pocket. Moreover, at absolutely no point in time would he mention the fact that his parents were fucking loaded, unless you ended up talking specifically about that subject. I have the utmost respect for him, despite the fact that we both knew if times were hard his parents would bail him out no questions asked. But that isn't the point. It's a question of attitude.

I come back to my original post to point out that the person in question here was being paid entirely for by mummy and daddy, didn't have to work because he got an allowance, at 21 I might add, and STILL managed to be a massive prick on top of that.

The reason I know that he lives next door to Michael Schumacher is because he used to fucking brag about it all the time, amongst other things, like how he could afford to pay for his band to fly from switzerland with all their gear out of some money he had lying around.

He was a spoilt brat who, when it suited him, was desperately trying to prove otherwise.

As for being bitter, I couldn't be fucked with the guy until he started going out with one of my friends, started badmouthing me, and then cheated on her. At which point I came to the conclusion "wow, you are an utter cock".

Incidentally, I am very middle class, and quite comfortable with the fact. Thanks for reading between the lines.

Um
You never say in your original post that he got an allowance, or that his parents paid for his uni.
