P people
If there is one thing that pisses me off more than anything else it would be people that don't have a dollar to their name but want to look and come off as if they're wealthy. Pretentious is the word that comes to mind. If you're unaware of what I am talking about then A. You might be one of these P people or B. You haven't looked hard enough. If you fall into the B category let me help you with some dead giveaways of a pretentious bastard.
1. The biggest and most obvious sign is the car.
There are several models of cars out there that are purely marketed and targeted for P people. The first one that comes to mind is the C230 Mercedes. Here is a link if you don't know what I am talking about:
C230
The C230 is priced from $27,156 - $29,200. There are other C-class models that will cost around $50K but I am only talking about the C230. The only reason to buy the C230 is....You're a pretentious ass! The C230 received a 73 from Consumer Reports which is worse than the 78 from the BMW 3-series, these are not nice cars, they are cheap, stripped down models of the REAL thing. Any logical person would look to the other 10 cars that fall into this price range that are larger, better built, and provide more features standard. The Nissan Maxima, Camry LE, Acura TSX, Honda Accord EX, Infiniti G35. Most of these people really can't afford the 30K price tag but find a way to buy the "cheapest Mercedes available" just so they can say, "I drive a Mercedes". Other Pretentious cars include the BMW 318i, Porsche Boxter, Audi A4, and any other car by a luxury company that starts at $27K.
2. The Handbag
I don't give a shit if it's a real or fake Louis Vuitton. They both piss me off, if you buy a real "Louey" (as P people say) and pay over $1000 for a little piece of leather that has an LV on it. Then you're a total and complete tool! And if you pay money for a fake "Louey" so you can look like a total and complete tool it makes no difference. You're still a fucking idiot! If it's sooooo worth it and you just love the quality and craftsmanship then why do you need a big LV on it? This same rule applies to men, but replace handbag with watch and Louis Vuitton with Rolex.
3. The Ring
I know a lot about diamonds because it took me over 6 months to pick one out. Everyone is very familiar with the 4 C's if not go to www.thediamondbuyingguide.com
The P person will only be concerned with one of the 4 C's and that is CARAT. They don't care about the quality they just want the biggest diamond so they can show it off to all their friends. The only thing worse than an ugly ass big diamond, is a big CZ (cubic zirconia). The thing about the CZ is you could afford a real, smaller diamond but you want to look like you have money and your husband bought you this big rock. How real is your marriage when your ring is fake? I think it would be better to not even have a stone in your ring, just a nice solid band is much better than a fake stone. As long as your not one of those people that has to justify all the time why you don't have a stone. That is so annoying! If you want a ring with no stone then just take your ring and shut the fuck up about it. Nobody is going to say, "where is the diamond?" because they really don't care so stop telling us why you don't have one.
Keep in mind I am not talking about the person that wants to have a nice car and nice stuff. I am just trying to point out there is a huge difference between classy people and P people. P people are trying to live a fantasy and want you to believe they are something they're not. I really don't like to associate with P people, they are not honest and most often very annoying. I work in the IT industry and one of the main reasons why I love working with all these geeks and nerds is because they are the most real, up front, and honest people you will ever meet.
