They say that beggars can't be choosers. And they're wrong. There are plenty of people who try to exploit the generosity of others even though they are in no position to do so.
And you can find them on the aptly-titled subreddit 'Begging Choosers.' Created in 2017, its 27K members are constantly sharing with one another the worst examples of entitlement.
From demanding sellers give them products for free to attending only those BBQs that give away fancy sodas, continue scrolling to meet the bunch who think that the whole world revolves around them.

I Love It When People Get What They Deserve
Artists and just freelancers appear to be especially susceptible to choosing beggars. Author Len Cristobal thinks their ridiculous offers sometimes come from what she calls distance.
“People rarely see artists, their sleeves rolled up and hunched over a desk, studying various elements of design, principles, software, methods, materials, trends, histories, and relevant industries in order to hone their craft, find opportunities where their skill set is needed, and produce sensible artwork,” Cristobal wrote.
“There are people who believe that artists deserve low pay because their work does not require technical skills — as if art is produced solely by impulse, vanity, or some internal dissonance.”

Shamelessness Is Far Away From The Confidence
But some of these scrooges seem to be aware of what they doing.
These acts might also have something to do with human nature. Psychologist and decision researcher Eva Krockow, Ph.D., for example, said people experience a pleasant high after receiving a freebie in an expensive world where we frequently have to pay even for visiting a public toilet.
I guess nobody will be able to avoid such clients while working in a people-oriented industry. So I guess the only thing we can do is make funny posts and laugh about them.

$20 Shouldn’t Make A Difference
That being said, helping others for nothing in return, ironically, is pretty beneficial to you.
Turns out, generosity, just like a healthy diet, exercise, and good genes, increases your life span.
A study at the University of Michigan revealed that the positive effects of generosity include improving one's mental and physical health and promoting longevity.

It’s not like the employer did not recognize all her work ethnics and loyalty, he/she did but still did this, then it will never kick in what they have done
Poor People Androids
True, the rest of it was completely reasonable /s
Load More Replies...She's slamming android owners for being poor, yet.. can't buy her own phone? hmm...
There's a help group for people like us, been to the gatherings for 3 months now and feel kindda normal now. I don't cry to sleep anymore. Good luck.
Load More Replies...MLM brainwashed nutter. If that loan they took out was to fund their MLM stuff then…hoo boy you’re in for a lot more whining.
Wow this persons attitude is disgusting. I hope no one supported that kind if behaviour.
I have an Android, I'm not poor I just have an Android, you shouldn't shame people because they're poor.
True story: iPhones (Apple) were made as simple as possible so those who are not tech savvy, could use them easier than Androids.
The first Android phone was released about a year after the first iPhone.
Load More Replies...Oh, I do feel so, so sorry for this person! Just maybe not for the reasons they want me to... *sent from my Android
Dude, who takes out a loan to get into an MLM? Pretty nervy for someone who's flat broke to be begging for handouts and then using terms like "poor people androids".
Someome should reply with a list of jobs in her area bc clearly she's a terrible saleswoman
"Choosing begggar, meet MLM, I think you can do great things together"
So lmao, this f**k, doesn't have money for a phone, hás depts to pay, but doesn't want poor people phones... This hás to be take, come on the level of hipocrisy here defies all Logic lol.
I have to believe some of these are not real because I don't understand this level of entitlement. It's really insane.
I'm using my Poor People Android to say "BAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHH!"
Lol. I feel sorry for brainwashed iPhone snobs. Never had one, never will, have never been disappointed by my trusty Android phones. And I'm by no stretch of the imagination poor.
My best friend has a not-an-android phone. She would gladly trade it for my poor-person android phone. I had to tell her no because I can't stand not-an-android-phones.
Adulthood is tough isn’t it? Nobody takes care of you or owe you anything. Also if she really needed A phone it shouldn’t matter what brand it is or if it’s new as long as it works. If you don’t have money to buy a expensive phone (that’s not a human right) then ‘accept a cheaper one if offered and be grateful for help! SMH
It’s has to be some mental issues and anger problems in this case?
Are people judging me for using an Android phone? If so, good, I know I don't want those shallow people in my life, so I guess it works out for everyone involved.

In another Michigan study, which traced 2,700 people over 10 years, researchers discovered that men who did regular volunteer work had death rates 2.5 times lower than men who didn't. Generosity can help reduce stress, support one's physical health, and enhance one's sense of purpose.

However, it's important to note that the form of generosity that most benefits us isn't measured in a dollar amount or a physical gain, rather, it's the sensitivity we offer another person that matters. The more directly we see our efforts impact someone else, the more we gain from the experience of giving.

Generosity is a natural confidence builder and repellent of self-hatred. It actively combats feelings of isolation and depression. People who battle depression have been shown to benefit from volunteering, as it gives them a sense of value and purpose while placing them in a social environment.
But of course, if someone is rude to us and manages to push every one of our buttons, I think it's safe to say it's not an environment we want to be a part of.

This is something that as a foreigner that wasn't raised in the USA but living in it could never understand. Why do people glorify the army do much? It's like they are celebrities willing to kill brown people overseas. No wonder why some of them have such a big ego. I also have a job and I contribute to society with it. I don't get free college and nobody thank me for my service.

I overheard someone willing to offer professional services for a very low hourly rate. I was seething. I get they were trying to be nice, but it is also undermining everyone in your profession. They'll always be thinking "I can find someone of good quality cheaper" simply because you wanted to be nice. I felt bad about being upset, but it irritates me. It is actually a disservice to be "nice" in that way without at least educating the person asking that this is lower than acceptable in normal circumstances
As a child I once made a cup of tea for a beggar, man was conplaining about the cup.
The thing about wanting childcare for $2 an hour is that you should NEVER trust someone who is willing to do childcare for $2 an hour.
But $20/hr....seriously...where I live childcare workers do not make that. I MAKE that. If I had to pay that I couldn't work
