One of my colleagues is very shallow and materialistic, today he was telling everyone (whether you were interested or not) about the Christmas shopping trip he had with his wife and how much he spent on Pandora charms for her bracelet. We all get to hear what he buys for the kids and how much the things are, he is only a design engineer so when he says he bought it it is more likely that the credit card company actually own most of it but he talks like he has loads of cash, his wife works part time shelf stacker so she doesn't earn much. He is such an arrogant, patronising bore.
