This is a question Spoilt Brats

Mr Newton sighs, "ever known anyone so spoilt you would love to strangle? I lived with a Paris Hilton-a-like who complained about everything, stomped her feet and whinged till she got her way. There was a happy ending though: she had to drop out of uni due to becoming pregnant after a one night stand..."

Who's the spoiltest person you've met? Has karma come to bite them yet? Or did you in fact end up strangling them? Uncle B3ta (and the serious crimes squad) wants to know.

I have been waiting for whole week for an excuse to tell somebody this.
I'm currently working in the fruit and veg department of a large supermarket in Edinburgh. Last week I was passed by a woman with two children, the older of whom couldn't have been more than 9 or 10.

As she skipped passed me, she excitedly exclaimed in a plummy accent: "Ooooh, mummy, shallots! Can we have shallots? I LOVE shallots!"

I don't think I knew what a shallot was until I was in my teens.

Huh
I just had to google to find out what a shallot is!

It's essentially an onion, poshified.

Sorta.
It's related to the onion and quite similar, but isn't actually one. It's got a different flavour. I suppose bananas vs plantains would be a suitable comparison.

It's nice to hear a story about a happy child saying 'can we have those, I love them'
instead of a screechy child saying 'mummy, I want those NOW! Get me those!' like so many of these answers are.

Sounds more like a family that does proper cooking rather than a spoiled brat. Still quite funny, though. I thought shallots were mushrooms until I was in my mid-teens.

I wasn't spoiled at all as a kid
but I can't remember not knowing what a shallot was, as my grandad used to grow them in his garden, with all his other fruit and veg.
