Exaggerating Asshole: An irritating or contemptible person who overcompensates trivial aspects of their life in a way which may be demeaning or insulting to others.

Brooke Hogan was involved in a car accident this weekend in which approximately $3000 of damage was done to her Mercedes. Given the coincidental nature of the incident, the smart and respectable thing to do here would have been shrink away with her tail between her legs and draw as little attention to herself as possible. But since Brooke Hogan is neither smart nor respectable, she posted the following in a (since deleted) myspace blog:

"I don't know if you heard, but my friend and I got into a really bad car accident today ourselves... As I turned on my car I clicked my seatbelt. As we pulled out onto the road, I looked over and realized my friend didn't have her seatbelt on. I reminded her to put it on and the minute she clicked it, a car crashed into us. It was a horrible car accident, one that most would be severely hurt in, but we had our seatbelts on and they kept us in tight." (Source)

Take it from someone who has been in almost as many car accidents as years driving: you can literally bump into another car and have it cost $3 grand. And yet, although I have been in accidents which caused far more than $3000 damage in far less expensive vehicles -- I have never been in a remotely "bad" or "horrible" accident. A "horrible" accident is the kind where you sober up and get told that your passenger won't ever be able to eat mashed peas on his own accord again for the rest of his life. So what was I saying? Oh yeah: shut your stupid fucking face, Brooke.
