35 Entitled People Who Thought They Deserved More Than Everybody Else But Got Shamed Instead (New Pics)
We’re all familiar with the saying that beggars can’t be choosers—if you desperately need or want something, then you should be willing to sit down and be humble. How often does that happen, though? Honestly? Not as often as it should. The world’s full of arrogant, privileged choosing beggars who think they’re royalty and throw a fit if someone can’t meet their unfair expectations.
The worst of the worst get shamed on r/ChoosingBeggars, a community of nearly 2.2 million people who call out people who are being way too picky when begging for things. If you’re ever in a situation where you’re unsure if what you’re doing is right or wrong, the ‘Choosing Beggars’ subreddit is your North Star on how not to behave.
Have a look through some of the most popular recent posts about choosing beggars, upvote the ones that infuriated you the most, and let us know if you’ve ever dealt with similar people in your lives, dear Pandas. Got the patience to stomach some more pretentious and privileged individuals? Check out Bored Panda’s most recent posts about r/ChoosingBeggars right here, here, and here.

Many choosing beggars either want huge discounts for products that their hearts are set on or… they want things completely for free or exposure. Calling these people ‘cheap’ would do a disservice to just how impolite and demanding some of them truly are.
Rudeness and a false sense of entitlement are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to choosing beggars. You see, they think they’re special and that the entire world has to dance to their tune because… well… just because!

A representative of the London-based Freelancer Club explained to me in a previous interview about saying ‘no’ to unpaid work. The organization aims to put a stop to exploitative unpaid work and late payments in the freelance sector.
“We are working hard to change the culture around working for exposure, experience, prestige, and the promise of paid work in the future by educating new and aspiring freelancers. We highlight the impact it has on their career, show them how valuable they are, and work on their self-worth,” the representative told Bored Panda earlier. “On the company side, we show them how paying freelancers fairly is better for their bottom line as well as their long-term reputation. In addition, we are pressuring the government to change legislation that will provide more legal protection for freelancers who are clearly being exploited for their talent.”

Funny how parents often cheap out on their babysitters. And by the way: "we want someone who isn't in just for the money!" What in the actual f**k? Those people need to be asked if they would to their job for half the money...
Those people and companies that suggest to others that they should work for exposure instead of for money end up showing everyone how they view others and what they think they’re worth.
“Many see freelancers, particularly in the creative sector, as hobbyists and believe they can get away with ‘paying’ in exposure. They leverage their audience size, their brand name, or the allure of gaining recognition. This is why services in exchange for exposure is commonplace in glamourous sectors such as fashion, music, and film,” the rep from the Freelancer Club said.

“From a freelancer point of view, they are often told that working for exposure is a rite of passage or an essential part of building a portfolio by their teachers, college professors, and peers. This has created a culture of exploitation that we must address at both ends. At Freelancer Club, we take a hardline and suggest freelancers say ‘no.’ The issue is that some ‘freelancers’ are individuals with a passion who will freely give their work away for exposure whilst professionals rely on payment to survive. This muddies the water.”

Owner Of Three Restaurants In The Suburbs Of Chicago Asks His Customers To Pay His Wait Staff A Better Wage

I love how the word "suffer" is used to explain the idea of paying enough so that workers can live. And that only those who "care" about other humans should tip well. What on earth does that say about the owner?
Okay I’ll be glad to only if you lower the cost of your food, oh right you won’t do that because profit margins and all that 😏
I haven't noticed paying more at restaurants in my state (which pays a full wage and tips) and other states (which pay a few bucks and tips). How do they manage?
If you expect people to tip more, the menu prices have already gone up, silly! If the tip is not for extraordinary service, but rather expected of every customer, it's part of the price.
In Arkansas, the minimum wage for tipped employees is $11.00, but the employer can use up to $7.37 per hour in tips as part of that. The minimum cash wage is therefore $2.63 per hour. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped Some employers are flat out thieves.
When I was younger and working as a server, places used to pay what was called "waitress wage" and "bartenders wage". It was a ridiculously low amount, way below the minimum wage and completely legal. When servers say they live off of their tips, it was absolutely the case for us back then.
While I do agree that people deserve a living wage, there are so many other factors at stake. My friend owns a couple of restaurants and the lease on each place is $14,000-$16,000/month. He also has vender fees ranging from alcoholic beverages to POS software systems. This isn't counting permit fees, healthcare, and wholesale food orders. My friend says if he payed his staff 15/hr he would go out of business. Prices would rise and as a result customers would go elsewhere. Rent is always increasing as well, which limits owners paying their staff more.
Your friend is full of s**t and he knows it. The only thing being cut into, if he pays a living wage, are his profits. Kindly tell your friend that if he doesn’t have the business acumen to pay the people that make his business possible, then he’s a s**t businessman and needs to sell the place to somebody who can.

If the restaurant has cheap prices and not huge profits, then the guy makes a point. Tip if you can afford it, or menu prices go up for everyone. If he's raking it in himself or the the place is wasting money for no reason, then he needs to sort his s**t
Menu prices SHOULD go up for everyone. Why should others have to subsidise assholes who can afford to tip but don’t? Living wage!

You know there are countries doing the living wage right? I live in one.

Sometimes I'll call someone to give me a bid on some work (remodeling, landscaping, etc) , and it turns out to be like 4x more expensive than I expected, and there's no way I can afford it. And I actually feel BAD, and sort of embarrassed, for wasting their time. I'm really confused by people who think they have the right to be rude and insulting when someone charges more than they want to pay.
I mean, there’s a middle ground to be had here. Obviously you should be polite when you find out something costs more than you can afford, but self-recrimination over something like that isn’t necessary in order to be a decent person.

my nephew invited me to his wedding (nice), but they scheduled it to be on the beach in Jamaica (too expensive for me).... They must have not been able to find a local hometown church or hall to hire, so now everyone is expected to fly to the Caribbean and spend two grand each (or more) to give them a fitting celebration & send-off. Hmm.... I replied back that my situation at that time couldn't afford this sort of a luxury, but I would like to come to the reception planned back home after their two week honeymoon in Jamaica was over. No invitation to the reception back home was forthcoming, since he was mad that his uncle would not give him this sort of ego fulfillment ... fine, no wedding present was forthcoming from me, I am usually quite generous. He has had nothing to do with me since then. He must not be able to forgive, forget, & move on, even though I did not do anything wrong. Grudges are poison.
I think, it should have been on their dime. Not yours.

the dept. chair at the local jr. college recruited me several times to come to work for him part-time. I said to let me know when a full-time staff position opens up. I told him I did not have the stamina to work a part-time job at night on top of the full-time job I already held. He said it was dept. policy that you have to work part-time (unbenefitted position) to invest enough "dues" to be allowed to bid on a full-time job. I know one guy they worked for seven years as a part-timer before they took him on staff. They gave him a very irregular day & night schedule, not just night classes, so he could not hold a benefitted full-time day job at the same time. So I walked out, nope, don't want to play that way. I understand it has become common in higher education to play this game. They could easily consolidate two part-time teaching positions into one full-time position, but they don't want to pay anything towards benefits and retirement for the teachers. Talk about exploitation! Sometimes educators with doctoral degrees are supposed to hang on like this for years as part-timers in hopes that someone will finally resign, retire, or die. Even then, there is no guarantee that they will get the full-time tenure-track job they have been waiting for.
This makes my blood boil. Aaaaaarggggghhhh *screamsinhelplessrage*

Work in the service industry. Somewhere where you interact with the customers. You will find the people you are looking for. Careful though, you are also likely to find some darn good people too.

I have a lawn service. The first opportunity my customers have to be unhappy is when we "agree" on a price. If they are unhappy with my fee, they will be unhappy customers for the entire time I am in their service. In short, don't ask if I can do it for $20 less per month.
These people are the technological equivalent of the panhandlers standing in front of stores and restaurants -- who I might add, often display HELP WANTED signs directly in front too -- begging for money. WTF is this world coming to?
