Today, someone (I use the term loosely, his mother could well be his father, hell, i dont know if that works but it seems that way) called me a poser...

fair enough i suppose but why?

because i have a nice car and a nice watch...

their not actually:

the car is different for a 18 year old (its a Triumph spitfire, so hardly *that nice) and the watch is actually bloody cheap (Tissot PRC200)

well ummmm...

does that make someone a poser? why am i a poser for having nice things that i enjoy, i only bought them for myself.

i keep hearing about Lambos, and Ferraris being damaged (and even a Elise) and why? i mean why are people jealous? is it because people have more money? or that they spend it?

i mean yeah, i see a nice car, and i think 'nice car, lucky barsteward' but i dont think 'what a fking prick bell-end cock juggler, how dare he have a nice car, though his own choice and possibly hard work, fking I'll wreak it to show no one can have it' for example in America (shudder) this doesn't seem to happen nearly as much, if at all?

so why here? is it just because if they cant have it no one can? pisses me off.

yeah, yeah 4/10 (although when i wrote this originally, i described the perpetrator as 'having a stretched ear piercing, with what looked like a sheep's cockring in it'...)

Because the country is full of lazy s who think they deserve something without putting the work in to get it.

My Brother is 20 and has allegedly been looking for a job since he left school, he goes to the job centre once a week (it may be even once a fortnight actually) just so he can keep getting his dole money. He's turned down jobs that were less than 10 miles away because "I would have to get two buses! I don't have a car like you!". I had to work for three years before I could afford a car!

But not from the OP on this thread.

I tried , I really did, but I lost the interest to continue after the third sentence when I noticed the new meme as I scrolled down.

It seemed far more interesting, and apt. smile

Else he'd understand the difference between jealous and envious.

Why are the quote memes different from the original meme?

There appears to be witchcraft and wizardry afoot. scratchchin

hmm, surely what you mean is 'why are my step parents so jealous?'. try not to generalise one person's reaction to meaning 'society'. we arent all like that.

as to why people are jealous- well jealousy is a natural human emotion. much like anger, happiness, sadness and attachment are. everyone feels jealousy to some degree, in some form, and at some point in their life. It is just that some people are more expressive of it. For example, we have all encountered an idiot on the road who is driving like a fkwit. however, most of us wont turn around and call them a stupid fker, we will hold onto our anger. I think it is similar with jealousy really, we wont all turn around and call someone a flash prick.

Whether someone is jealous can be subject to different interpretations as well. For example some might say that the dreadlocked numbnutfkers occupying everywhere but wall st are jealous of the wealthier citizens.
