I need to rant, some people are so arrogant

I had my monthly catch up phonecall with my dad the other night, how his holiday was, how the Stags are now out of the league, how the cat is etc etc. He told me what his mate Stuart is getting up to, and he just reminded me what an arrogant ****er he is. He has been told about his attitude time and time again, but he will never listen. I was getting quite mad on the phone.

Basically, Stuart has money. And he knows it. They will all go out to the pub, meet at the bar, and the first thing Stuart will say to everyone is "Like my new shirt? £125 quid" or, "Like my new shoes? £75 quid". Why? Why must some people do this? Why must you INSIST on telling everyone how much you spent on something? My dad said, "Stuart, what time is it?" "Half seven" said Stuart. "Funny that", said my dad, "Mine says that too, my watch was £5, I dont need a £2000 Rolex to tell me that"

A few years back, me and my dad were struggling to live. My mum had moved out, and I decided to stay with my dad. The mortgage and bills were higher than we thought, and we really battled through for a good couple of years, sometimes paying the mortgage off on my credit card. As such, my dad cut down on going out, but on the rare occasion he did, there was Stuart, bragging about his latest purchase. "Like my new shirt? Only £80, Ted Baker" Well my dad flipped. "Stuart, do you realise the crap I am going through? Do you realise how much I am struggling to live? To pay my bills? How dare you have the balls to brag about how much your new shirt cost when I can hardly afford a beer?"

His response? "You're just jealous" ****ing self centred prick

To me, its rubbing it in someones face. How DARE you flash your cash around when you know damn well some people are not as well off as you.

Dont anyone dare flame me for saying some people like the best and most expensive things. Thats fine with me, just stop ****ing bragging about it. At least have some tact, something that Stuart seriously lacks.

I need to calm down, Ive had a lovely relaxing day and my blood pressure is shooting up
