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.

There is no way 12 dozen chocolate chip cookies cost $300 to make. That is an out right LIE
Load More Replies...
No it's not! When I bake cookies, one batch makes about 3 dozen. You just have to bake 2 double batches. Not a big deal. One batch takes 13 minutes to bake. So if you have two cooking sheets, it will take an hour and a half to complete. Good god! And the total cost is approximately $50 bucks! TOTAL!!!
Load More Replies... Send her a card with a bill and a copy of the receipt for the ingredients
I call BS. She didn't spend $300 on ingredients for 144 chocolate chip cookies.
I call BS on your BS. Cookies use lots of flour, so she could go through sacks of that. Sugar, eggs, shortening, frosting ingredients. Everything is way more expensive now. Plus, I hope she charges for hours of labor.

That's $25 in groceries per dozen cookies. I don't know how you spend that much on ingredients unless you're using super expensive chocolate. Just... I don't know use regular chips, or just-okay ones.

144 cookies do not cost $300 to make! Where did you shop for ingredients.
i wanna say first thing i dont claim to know how to do math, i actually claim that i dOnt know how, so im not saying the nearly $300 spent is bs or not bs but i just wanna point out the OP also mentions she had them out arranged on trays & that just makes me think that the $300 might have been spent on more than jUst ingredients for the cookies, which makes sense since i cant imagine that rude mother to provide any trays or decorations for them? so im just saying if that were actually the case $300 on a bunch of baking ingredients plus whatever containers/trays/wrappings etc? that price makes a lot more sense
Exactly and the actual point isn't how much things cost to be honest - but whatever the expense- it was an expense, and a huge effort and not only has that not been recognised, it's been completely downtrodden in terms of then asking for more money as a gift. Just blows my mind at the sense of entitlement

The worst part is that the OP feels the need to ask "AITA". Seems like there are a lot of entitled people out there if friendly and helpful people start asking themselves if they have done wrong.
Is the person asking AITA a pro baker or have a shop or something? I mean,just asking someone who isnt a pro to whip up that many cookies that quickly is crazy...Now, I do believe the person asking is kinda an ass though...a DUMBASS for agreeing to do it. I understand being nice and wanting to give, bit damn, I think even the most kindhearted folks would tell them to GTFO...
Can't buy books for college with the cake which "went missing" either ...
Not to mention the gross cost of the party, which would have included a lot of different items.

Some AITA posts make me laugh. Come on, you know you are NOT the asshole (if you're really presenting all the facts). You just need to vent and get validation...I do that sometimes too. AITA is the new outlet for the passive and passive aggressive. I just hope they gain the strength and courage to be assertive next time.
Well, read the comments here, some folk seem to think the OP *was*. Which makes zero sense.

I would absolutely apologise to the kid, for having such douche as a mother

Give her the grocery receipt and let her know that she needs to reimburse you for all the money you spent on your "gift". What a f*****g cow. No one is OWED a gift regardless of the circumstances.
wtfff nooo nta she is!!!! its not even ur son tell her to give him grad money
$300.00 to make 144 chocolate chip cookies? I think NOT. Even if each was the size of dinner plates there's no way it'd have cost more than $30.00-40.00. Even if you used real butter. Your neighbor however is not your friend and she should have planned better for her son's college expenses. My daughters paid their own way and graduated without a penny from me.
She's not talking solely about basic cookie ingredients. Did you miss the bit where she got the trays to arrange all of those? Plus, with it being a substitute for cake, they were probably decorated too. And why should someone who busts their butt to bake that many cookies at home in under 24 hours be expected to work for free because they're a friend of the family? That's not acceptable.

12 dozen cookies for free, and she wants money too??? Although, I'm aghast that the ingredients came to $2 per cookie!!
I would expect $2 includes her time and work as well as decorating them and buying all those extra trays, etc.
Load More Replies... The mom ought to give the son some money, as she doesn't have to pay for the cookies. Or, the mom could pay OP $300+working time for the cookies, and THEN OP can give the son some money.
Send her an invoice for the $300 and AFTER she pays you can give her son $50 or so for his books :)
The cookies and the work were a very generous gift. The mother is a waste of air.
I'm sorry for the kid - not a lesson anybody should learn, let alone from a parent!
i would have left - after i packed up my cookies and taken them with me.
I read 12 cookies the first time and was like whattt!!! how did that cost 300 dollars??!!! Then I realized it was 12 dozen. Now that makes sense. I would never be able to bake that many in a day. Kudos to her!
end the bill for 300€ in materials + 100€ in labour and add a 100€ discount for graduation.
OMG ,im speechless !!! It seems that most of these entitled @#$%^& come from the USA ? Im actually so shocked when i read these posts
I don't mean to be obtuse, but is it common practice in the USA to give money at a graduation party?
Yes, but gifts are optional ...otherwise they aren't gifts. And from my experience, graduation parties are for family members. If a group of graduates throw a party in common, guests are not expected to give money to all the grads.

No. You are a wonderful human being, and that kid has a Karen of a mother.
Wanted to trust her on the 300$, but just can’t. Living in Switzerland, which is really quite expensive, went for good quality and a recipe with big cookies: 88 bucks for that amount of cookies. Even if you deco them nice you would never reach anything near 150...much less 300.
Ever thought that might include labour and tools? *smh*

This hideous entitlement, and RUDE behaviour of asking, and trying to shame people..... what happened to these people!?!?
I would've asked to be reimbursed the $300 and if she gave it to me, then I would've given the son half.
Omgosh! This is not the post I should be reading. The nerve of some people. What is wrong with her. Tell her if she’ll pay you the $300 for the ingredients that you’ll give it to her son. I just want to smack her upside the head and ask her who awarded her the royal entitlement.
$300 worth of ingredients plus time and effort isn't enough of a gift?
But... 300 $ for 12 dozen cookies? Wtf are the prices for sugar, flour, choclate Chips etc. in US? I'm shocked! I 'm sure I'd get those cookies baked for about 50 € and this without being stingy with the size or choclate Chips etc.
Send her a bill for the baking ingredients and then give her son a fifty out of that.
Not the neighbours kid, not the neighbours responsibility to pay for his books. Anyway who expects everyone to give their kid money for a high school graduation? No one gave me any when I graduated.
So did they pay for the original cake? This lady baked cookies in place of them and should have been paid /compensated for them- and this mother is a total asshole not only for not offering to do so, but asking for cash on top of it. Her child- her responsibility to pay for expenses.
Maybe NTA but very naive though. Did she even know the neighbours and how they behave? I very much doubt it. And paying 300$ for ingredients??? Ummmm. Just no. Aaand no.
Are you missing all those trays she brought them on? If she's not used to baking that much at once she probably had to buy some extra kit besides those.

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.”

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.
