Is Michael Phelps arrogant

Yes, he is. I know someone who was swimming at the same meet as him back in July and he was warming up in the same lane as him. He stopped at the wall during the warm up and the guy I know asked, "are you.." about to ask if he was going to continue or if he could go, but Michael interrupted him and said, "Yes, I'm Michael Phelps, no you can't have an autograph."

It's a typical American celebrity thing. They complain about how hard their multi-million dollar lives are because they have fame while some families go to bed on an empty stomach.

But then again, he's American, so what can you expect?
