I probably shouldn't type when frustrated but do you guys have arrogant friends? I got this one friend who is a nice guy for the most part but he just frustrates me. He likes to show off or rub things in or thinks he's better than everyone else because he gets to meet actors.
This time he was talking to me about a True Blood convention and says he's going to volunteer. OK not a problem that's fine to share that with a friend but then he goes on saying how he's going to have VIP access to everything and gong to meet all the stars. Normally it doesn't bother me but he knows that I love this show quite a lot. But there were only 2 actors that it would have been worth paying the money for but then he goes on to tell me that there are others coming that they simply haven't announced acting as if he is part of the team organising which he isn't. So to stop myself from really having a go at him since it's pointless and he doesn't listen I just said I was going and not going to listen rub it in anymore or indulge him. He kept going after all that saying he deserved it because he'd be working so hard. I highly doubt that! :D
I know it probably sounds like jealousy but really I can't stand people rubbing things in whether it be to me or anyone else.

He thinks he's better than anyone else just because he get to meet actors? Doesn't sound arrogant. He seems like a vain person. Hey you should just ignore him. Easy peasy.

Hmm vain, yeah that sounds like a better word for it. Ihad other words but I feared MyLot might delete my post if I used them haha! Usually I do ignore it but tonight it got to me a little. I held back though I didn't want to say what I really thought.

It's not his job, he just volunteers at conventions and so gets to meet them and spend time with them which is all well and good. I just hate that he purpousfully rubs it in and plays it up and then acts like he is so important when he does it. He mentioned it to me out of the blue, the site said the VIP tickets are already sold out but he knows I'm not working to be able to afford it.

Hi BabyCheetah!
Ok! I have a male friend like this too! He doesn't meet actors lol, but he is one of my best friends yet he does annoy me to a great degree as well. He has a girlfriend of 3 years and every girl he tries to get with, he tries to change something about them (mostly physically). He buys her a new wardrobe to match his tastes, buys all kinds of namebrand clothes just to show off to people. He's not a rich guy by any means, but he is able to live comfortably. He likes people to stare and take notice of him everytime he walks into a room and it's pathetic. He is trying to be someone he's not just to get attention from people he sees as less fortunate than himself. I'm not sure if this is relevant enough, but when I seen this discussion, I couldn't help but to comment and vent myself! lol :)

Haha no that's relevant but I think that's worse. My friend doesn't do things like that just sometimes he goes too far and it rubs me the wrong way. But we are still friends I just wish he wouldn't take it too far. I'm happy to hear he is volunteering but if he can't tell me the inside goss I just don't want to know about it and I don't want it rubbed in that I can't afford to go but he can.
But geez your friend sounds like a handful LOL :D

I think your sentence got cut short :D
It can be so hard to ignore sometimes when it's constant. He is also a real attention seeker as well which I hate in people. I'll see how I go for a bit longer but if it's really getting to me and there is too much drama I'm cutting him loose!

I got friends like that too, and I just hate to listen to their tall tale. I knew from the beginning, none of it would be a truth, and they just make it look like they are the smartest one, and they are the one who always made the right decision. A friend of mine just did the same. He is jobless, and he invested in stock with his mom's money. He kept telling me how much he would earn, and how sucks other stock gonna be. Until now, I don't see he earn a dime, or make some million dollar big bucks. Why not admit that he is a failure?

Some people just can't admit if they have made a bad decision but wow not even using his own money? That's pretty bad he should get a job and work for his money too not using money of others like that

Hello, I could say that I have arrogant friends. But even though they misbehave to me, I never try to avoid them. Also I always keep in touch with them

Oh me too, I'm talking to himright now and I did last night too. He pushed me just that bit further so I bluntly told him what I thought about what he was saying and how I felt about it. He said he didn't realise but he never does :(

I personally don't have any friends like that, but there is a family friend, my dad's friend who's such a snob. He has two different circles of friends, one of his old high school/university mates (my dad is a member) and a posh one (as he works in a really high position in my country's Procter&Gamble, and he meets all these rich peopler, and he isn't poor either). He always talks about what they do together, how posh parties he's at... oh, and they always buy furniture/listen to music/watch theatre plays/watch films/buy food etc. that is like "snob-approved" as we would say. He once went on telling us how exquisite the brand or the designer of a drawer and a closet they bought was and how expensive it was, when it didn't even match their room's other decoration, and it wasn't even a full set, they just baught it, because they friends hyped it. And they constantly put these under our noses and they don't do it openly, but it's obvious and we can feel it in some smirks and remarks that they love letting not-so-wealthy or trendy people know how up-do-date and chic they are.

Argh that must be so frustrating! I don't like snobby people like that either but at least he still remained friends with your dad although I wonder if it's for this very reason of rubbing things in!
My friend is quite a nice person but he does take it too far when he brags about things like that example. I'm happy for his that he is volunteering and gets to meet the actors but then telling me after I said I wasn't too interested in those actors and couldn't afford it anyway that he knows that more actors are going to be announced and all this other stuff that he says he's allowed to do just really annoyed me. And the VIP ticket I would have been able to afford were already sold out so obviously he knew about this maybe for months and didn't tell me.
He pushed me even more the other day after I told him to stop rubbing it in so I bluntly just came out and said what I thought which still wasn't rude but I told him that he sounded like he was better than everyone else. I wasn't going to because I know what comes next and it did. Anything bad I say about him his feelings get hurt and he lets you know it! This really annoys me even more as he is 43 years of age!
