I have been friends with this girl for 11 years and she is a know-it-all who looks down her nose at people not as "great" as her. I know alot of people like this. It gets annoying.
How can I deal with this problem with a sense of humour without being rude or losing my cool.
Any suggestions for what I could say/do to these types of people?

Egotistical people are sometimes said to be "staring at their own belly-button" because they're so self absorbed. You could try imagining how silly they look trying to stare into their own belly-buttons all the time - it might make you smile and that will diffuse your feeling of annoyance.

Leave her alone and don't do or say anything which can be talked about behind your back. I know how upset you are since I am in a similar situation with someone I've known for a long time, and all I want to do is stay away from her. Out of respect for your friendship (because she was once your friend), don't quarrel with her, but make new friends so that you have other people to go out with, and gradually that girl will leave you alone and won't matter any more. Good luck.

you're able to desire to tell her which you value lthis is very unproffesional. we've suggested many plans or maybe in spite of the indisputable fact that i did not supply you a deposit, I nevertheless sense which you committed your self to my wedding ceremony pictures. you have placed me in an exceptionally undesirable situation. i think of you're a great photographer and that i in my opinion needed you to artwork for me. i think of this grew to become into an extremely undesirable element to do on your organization. i could want to be responsive to why you probably did this. You did not supply any rationalization or maybe an apology. I understand issues arise yet you very own a company and it may of been extra helpful so you might handle this and a extra company-like way. end the way you think of you're able to desire to.

If she is putting others down in your hearing, chances are, she's putting you down to others.
I would try to find a new friend. If you don't, you may be perceived as being a know it all and snobby, simply because you hang out with her.

The best thing to do is tell the truth about your feelings on this. I admird that you feel this is wrong (it is).
the 2nd thing to do is develope new friends that are NOT rude, arrogant, snobs.
You will feel better about yourself too, for surrounding yourself with real honest, nice, caring people.
telling the truth about your feelings is NOT rude, and is utterly COOL.

make new friends if she annoys you. People grow and change and need new friends
