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 mean I get it but it is kind of mean to make them actually go somewhere under the pretense they got it at that price. Why not just say no?

You know it’s just haggling. That’s still very common in most of the world. Some cultures love it. We in the West are so used to inflexible pricing it seems arrogant to try this. But really who does benefit more, the seller of the buyer?

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.”

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.

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

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.

Maybe unpopular opinion, parents shouldn't be burdened by kid's wedding. I have seen too many parent suffer for this. If you can't afford to get married extravagantly, do it simply.

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.
