Do you like people who constantly have to show-off and flaunt whatever they have?
 
Nope, they get on my nerves

Can't tolerate people like this!

Not really, it gets annoying after a while, but I can tolerate it from some people. Mainly people I've known for a very long time.
 
It's all about intent; if someone is of superior ability to me (which is basically everyone on Earth), and they're just good, well that's my problem if I don't like it. If they're applying it in a negative fashion - out to insult (the I'm better than you! HA-HA! sort of thing), well that's petty, and such 'flaunting' shows the hallmark of what is actually likely a weaker person. It's all about the intent, though, which I think can be misjudged.
 
In my experiences, a person who constantly has to brag about how big their house is or how many cars they have, typically is embellishing and is insecure.

Agreed. I had a friend who used to always showoff because his parents had major $$$ and he wouldn't stop. I don't hang around him anymore, because the only time he ever wanted to hang out was when he had something to showoff.
 
Depends on the person, but generally I don't mind people showing off as long as it isn't repeatitive.
