Who's the most obnoxious person you've ever come across?

Mine was probably a girl I house shared with whilst at Uni. She was totally full of herself and seemed to think that she was god's gift to the world.

She thought that she was extremely good looking, although was very average looking. All she talked about all the time was how gorgeous she was, and about how men would look at her and how many men fancied her. We'd suggest a place to go out to and she'd always say something like 'I can't possibly go there, I get so much attention from men in there'. And we'd be walking along the street and she'd be telling me (and probably telling herself!) that men would be looking at her, even though they didn't appear to be looking at her.

She would also make comments all the time that would big her up but put the person she was talking to down at the same time. A friend of another of our housemates had some boots similar to obnoxious girl's boots and obnoxious girl said 'your boots are similar to mine. Obviously not as expensive as mine though'. She would also tell me regularly that she thought I wasn't very pretty but I had a nice personality so not to worry about it.

Her other thing would be to sit there whilst we were all having a conversation and then suddenly say an unrelated statement about herself such as 'have you noticed how blue my eyes are?' or 'my legs are looking so good today aren't they?'

She actually was like the woman in Friends played by Jennifer Coolidge that Monica and Phoebe didn't like!

I was at a wedding where the groom was from my home country (Ireland), meaning a lot of the guests were too. I started talking to one group and one guy said he was a pharmacist. I said something like 'wow, you must have got a lot of points in your leaving cert' (ie to get into pharmacy at uni). He said 'oh my god, who would even say something like that'. Thought it was a bit strange as I had effectively complimented him! Later on someone asked where I was from and I told him the name of my little hometown, to which he snorted. I asked if he had ever been there and he replied 'yeah, it's a shithole'.

I'll never cross paths with this person again so it shouldn't matter but it still annoys me that he went out of his way to be so rude!!

A person I shared a house with for 2 years as a student. She was really pretty, smart, friendly, etc. She also had a good bit more money than us, and even a car! She was sociable and friendly.

However, over those 2 years I’d seen her play havoc with peoples relationships. Whenever anyone was interested in someone new, she’d shag them first! She seemed only interested in guys that were already dating or of interest to others.

So much drama

Fil (and Mil), never ever ask their son let alone me any personal questions, never take an interest, always telling us about themselves, but they talk in a way that's a constant lesson for us.

They are forever preening about how parsimonious they are, how they wouldn't stay over night at a b and b after a wedding.. Oh no they drive back, to save money...

(I was heavily pregnant it was our last little break before the birth, one night in Cambridge)..

Fil is very up himself over his career and money.. And will again endlessly talk about his career but not what he actually does.

They sort of talk at people as though we have asked them questions or praised them and their wealth when actually we have not m

My best friends stepmum (her Dad is a close second) SM is one of the rudest most self absorbed people you could ever meet. Never makes conversation, simply pauses for a break and then talks about herself. Whatever you have done, she's done it before, done it better, louder, more expensive, etc. Raging ego. Really unpleasant to be around.
Hard on their heels is probably my Dad! Another self absorbed narc.
