Arrogant ****ers who name drop people/places

Balanadan

I've worked with some incredibly modest UHNW individuals, fantastic people, very down to earth. Then you come across some eejit who's making €100k a year and thinks they're special. I couldn't give a flying **** if you were in New York last week for your middle management job. Typical ****ing Irish.

UHNW ?

Get lost on your way to Facebook, OP?

That's it Balandan - type it out - type out all your rage on the keyboard.
Don't ever tell the arrogant person to their face though.
That would be rude and could be perceived as confrontational. Don't want that.
Tell us - that is what we are there for.

ultra high net worth - maybe a different kind of offensive individual in the OP!

High net worth. Undeclared.

I couldn’t care less if you were drinking in Dublin airport that time at 6 am on the way to “important meetings” but yet, you told us.

You have two work colleague types - type A are modest and not Irish, type B are special and Irish?

Yeah €100k a year isn't special.
If you're not earning that by the time you hit 50 you should consider yourself a failure.

You haven't worked abroad much.

Try a stint in Canada, London, Paris to see what it is really like.

You'd last a day there if you had a problem here with one person blowing their hole.

Not for me. Peaked at communion. Equivalent of about €150 (based on average pint prices :P). Got a tenner for Confirmation! :pac:

I was just saying the same thing to Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh and Samantha Mumba the other evening.

The single worst trait of Irish people is the need tell people where they've been or where they're going. The tiger bred a world of blowhards who'll have to let you know how many airports they've been in within about 10 minutes of meeting them.

How much do you earn and what exotic places do you visit?

I only ask because I'm trying to figure out why you're so bitter

And then you have people that have a family income of 100k pa and are acting like they're living on the breadline because their nice Dublin home is so expensive, the nice crèche for the kids is so expensive and the car loan is so expensive.

Thankfully, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a rabid name-dropper in real life. I mean the odd time, someone might say that they briefly met somebody famous but I’ve never met the kind of person who tries to catch the reflection of other people’s glory.

My hubs works with a guy who’d love to be famous. He’s trying hard to become an IG influencer. Let’s say his name is Simon Kelly. His IG handle is officialsimonkelly. He loves Lillies Bordello. Well, did like it. It’s closed now. He’d make a big deal out if the bar staff there knowing his order. He repeatedly regales people with tales of his encounters with celebs. The one I remember was one called Hugo Weaving. I had to look him up.

There's an opinion you definitely keep online if you don't want to come across as one of those people.

I do have a neighbor who's badly guilty of what the OP detailed... every time you meet him it's where he was this week with work.

Don't care mate. Don't care.

What is sadder still is when people namedrop local people who are supposed to be of prominence.

For example, there used to be a woman at work, who would always namedrop with reverence if she met some local business person.

I shoot birds at the airport

Hedgelayer

The best way to get into name dropping if that's your only way to feel like you're important is to go out and spend all your money on coke,booze, hooker's, horse's, property and go absolutely nuts....

Go to rehab and then find out which recovery groups the star's and celebs hang out in....

The only thing is if you break their anonymity you'll be the greatest di CK on the planet....

Kill two bird's with the one binge lol

Name dropping what a bunch of vvankers
