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.

shit"The best compliment I would get from my Dad is 'Smart Arse' and my Mam would chastise me if I didn't get perfect grades and feign interest if I did."
Are you me?
Seriously.
I remember my dad taking me on a
walk when I was about 9 or 10.
I can't remember why, exactly, but I think he was trying to put me in my place. He started thus:
Dad: "I was your age once..."
Me: "Well of course you were!"
Dad: "You see son, there's a difference between being smart and being a smartarse."
I was 10 for fuck's sake. Added to that the probably quarterly visits to my dad's house... You'd have thought he'd give me a little leeway.
My mum constantly fretted about me doing badly at school. "Have you done your homework?" "That isn't good enough." "I don't care what everyone else got for that assingment..." type thing.
I recall her and my stepfather not letting me buy a pc (out of my own earned money, mark you) until after my GCSE results came out, in case they weren't up to standard. GCSEs are GCSEs of course, but I didn't get less than an A. And they were surprised by this. Still pisses me off.
