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 was gonna post this as a reply...The vast majority of people at my school were rich flasy gits, they always had the latest clothes/shoes/gadets whatver.
But there was this one guy who started the same time I did (about 10yrs at school together)
They live on an large old estate in Kent (his house has an elevator!?), theres a cricket pitch and everything!
Anywhooooo
The point is, he NEVER let on that he was minted, unlike the vast majority of idiots there, and his car of choice after he left uni, got a job and saved up? A beaten up Nova.
Think he has a new car now, but nothing fancy.
He is probably the only most down to earth, easy going, top-notch, genourous, humble, hard-working, complete legend of a bloke that comes from a wealthy background that I know of!
Ahem, so it might be the opposite of the QOTW...oh well, hes a great bloke!

Someone mentioned something along these lines in a reply --new money people tend to be flash gits, whereas old money types don't flaunt it.

Is it possibleto act like old-money when one is impoverished. When I say impoverished, I don't mean owning most of Lincolnshire but have no cashflow to speak of. I mean just above skint, not haven't to shop at Nettos, but it's a possibility.
