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.

I agree to some extentalthough I do understand the need to reward the little shits' occasional good behaviour.
My son was simply brilliant at school - polite, popular, good at everything (except PE and CDT, but he tried, bless him) and always on time with homework.
He didn't need incentives, being an ambitious chap with an eye on the future.
However, when he was still there the school was given some awards by a local university to hand on to worthy kids, and as the head was determined to give Sonny one in recognition of his wonderfulness, he received a 'Most Improved Pupil' one.
I was furious when I found out, too late. A kid who deserved and indeed NEEDED that award should have got it, not Sonny.
There was an awesome buffet though so not all was lost.
Sonny went on to Oxford and is now doing a PhD in California. He still treasures the joke 'Smartarse' trophy he was given in a cod awards ceremony that the school used to put on for leavers - a proper recognition of his achievements.
