We here at Bored Panda like to entertain our readers with various funny memes and hilarious photo compilations or broaden our visitors' perspective on arts and interesting facts, but sometimes we feel the need to share a not-so-pleasant educational story or two. And this time it's about rude people, who just cannot ever feel satisfied, mainly because of their huge sense of entitlement.
You know the saying 'beggars can't be choosers?' It turns out it's wrong! Some people, when receiving generous help with their everyday problems by strangers, choose to push for more instead of showing some of the deserved gratitude. And these people, my friend, are just the worst. While some of the helpers decided to kill them with kindness, others delivered the best comebacks for the ungrateful.
This list, collected by us here at Bored Panda is one of those that'll leave you furious. Furious with the sheer gall of people who can't see a good deed when it slaps them in the face and have only one first world problem on their minds; themselves! Scroll down to check the stories and savage roasts for yourself, and don't forget to upvote for your 'favorite' of these shameless cheaters!

Can't Go Any Lower Than That
Nothing surprises me anymore... One day I gave some furnitures for free, they were in mint condition. I was contacted by someone who asked if I could deliver them. He was living 70 km away from my place, I said I could but it would be 20 euros since it wasn't my van I would use ! Which is a VERY fair price to deliver FREE F-ING FURNITURES. He said I had no heart, I told him to go f**k himself. Seriously, I don't have patience anymore !
I’ve had that happen on craigslist. Someone from Upper Buttcrack wants me to drive 100 miles round trip to deliver free s**t.

We were emigrating to another country and we had to get rid of things quickly and the stuff we were selling (brand new lamps, heaters, new tea sets, curtain rails, brand new gifts.. etc) were all at a ridiculously low price, like 1 or 2 euros and this woman who came to see the stuff was trying to get the price even lower and on some things she ended up paying only 50 cents and later she called back saying that her husband thought it was too expensive and that she wanted her money back to get it for free. We didn't have a lot of time but we weren't that desperate. BUH-BYE!
Why would they care. Not gonna give out any more free s**t then they trying to give away. You take it, okay, if not, okay
the chair was being offered for free. Knocking half off free, is still free.

This Guy Wanted Me To Drive 3 Hours To Give Him A Free Game
I had a similar experience like this on eBay--I was selling 3 brand new, still-in-package sets of Hello Kitty lights (on strings, like for Christmas or around your room), and some lady begged me to knock down my price and hold them for her until she had the money so she could buy them for her daughter's birthday party. I agreed, but she kept stalling and stalling, and I told her if somone wanted them for the full price AND PAID FOR THEM, I was going to sell them to the other person. Well, that's what happened, and of course, *I* was the bad guy for ruining her daughter's birthday party, because she PROMISED her daughter she'd have them. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a hard time feeling bad about this.
You are definitely not wrong. Susans like that act like we should all bow down because they decided to have kids

I get so tired of seeing all the parents begging and using their kids to try and get free stuff. If you can't afford it, little johnny might as well learn early that they aren't going to get everything they want
I was living in the US and used to see a lot of veterans at intersections holding cardboard signs asking for money or means to go on with their lives. I always felt so deeply sorry that they had to endure a war, literally having their lives on the line. One day I found a guy who looked older. I pulled down my window and handed him a $20 and said "Thank you for your service, God bless you". He faltered. Looked me in the eyes, but accepted. No 'Thank you'. As soon as the light went green, he banged on the side of my car 3 times and yelled "Go away! You're stealing our jobs!". I was shocked. I had been relocated from my country to the US *by the North American company* where I used to work because my specific skills were a fit for the position. I was not 'stealing' anyone's job. I feel so sorry that Veterans have to go through this, after all they have endured. They should have proper social and health care. His rage was not against *me*. It was against the lack of dignity he deserved.
Unfortunately, some of these panhandlers are dealing with mental illness. I've seen them fighting over who gets what corner to beg from. They can be angry at life or just whatever.

This attitude is becoming more pervasive every day! As if everyone OWES them something in some way!
A "friend" came over and told me a sob story about how he was going to lose his car because he gave all his money to charity that month (yea, right). The man is able bodied, so I offered to help if he would agree to help me paint my house. He signed a contract that detailed hourly rate & all. He worked off about half the money I gave him in advance. Then he skipped town without a phone call, an offer to pay at a later date when he was back on his feet, or an apology. The jerk had the nerve to call me up ten years later saying he was moving back in town. He said he needed a place to stay. He said he needed money to rent a storefront and open a business he wanted to start. Hmmm...He didn't ask for help, he just told me his needs. I was supposed to leap to the rescue of the poor dear. This guy only expects the best out of his friends. Funny how he won't give so much as a phone call in return. I told him to give me a call when he was settled in, and we could go for coffee ...
Once I stepped in at the last minute to teach a cooking class when the regular instructor was stuck in traffic. When he thanked me I made the mistake of saying "no problem!" which he interpreted as "no need to pay me!" 4 hours I will never get back
I truly appreciate the polite and civil answers given by the advertisers/posters to these "choosy beggars". Especially after reading the beggars' responses when their wishes were denied! I would have to put such a rein on my "sarcasm stallion" he'd flip over! Personally, I don't give change nor supplies to pan handlers. I have seen them get picked up and dropped off at prime off-ramp locations by white vans to believe that they have no support systems. However, I do give money to the local advocacy and support groups for the homeless and donate food to the pantries and food drives on a regular basis. The person complaining about the food handed out by the local pantry not meeting their particular tastes was especially galling. I cannot bring myself to feel sorry for these people, I just pity them.
Yeah, I advertised 5 free boxes of fabric scraps for quilting. Had a second person show up after I gave away the first five, and I put together 3 more boxes for her and she complained because I "wasted" her time!
Some people just don't understand gratitude. The world does not owe you a living - the world was here first. You want a living, work for one. However, if you are down and out because you had a run of sh***y luck, I don't mind lending a helping hand.
These people are terrible. It’s people like this that give actual people who have fallen on hard times a bad rep.
On a reverse of this, I made a relative a necklace as a gift and someone asked her where she got it. She told them it was handmade and they asked her if I would make one for them, they would pay $50 for it. Without even asking me she told them no because I am too busy to sell my crafts, it's just a hobby. It is just a hobby, and her piece was the first one I made, but shouldn't it be my choice who I make items for?
Omg! How rude! My stepmom was like that. I made her a matching necklace and bracelet set one Christmas and she complained that I gave her cheap, homemade stuff. I told her to give it back. I had been selling those sets at festivals for $60 all summer.

Oh wow…expirenced part of this recently…no idea there was such a thing. Knew someone that i helped but nothing was ever enough and there was always an excuse. Negotiating Prices. Not wanting to pay normal prices. I wish i had heard about it before. .
BoredPanda was surprisingly conservative, in that post... I like that.
" This other person can do it for a lower price/free " / " Even I can make it myself " — so just do it. Make it yourself. Go to the person foolish or generous enough to do it for f r e e . Yeah, bargaining is a thing that I won't disapprove 100% — but you need to know when you should bargain, and how to accept ' no ' .
Recently, when moving, I listed a bunch of stuff to give out for FREE (receiving end to pay shipping, but I still have to pack them and ship them out), including $200+ handbags and $500+ home appliances, all in good condition. I could just donate them to charity, but I would like friends and acquaintances to enjoy them, because I sure did when I had them! I also listed them on some message boards, offering them to strangers. In the end, not one of those "friends" who took my stuff even sent a "thank you" message after receiving the items, while the complete strangers took their time to thank me and tell me the stuff are useful to them...
We are just about to move and have put some stuff we don't want for very low prices online. I was selling a school bag at half the price it was bought for, almost perfect condition. A woman asked for it for $4 and said that was ok, because frankly, I prefer not to waste things. Then the lady said I had to bring it to her....to catch public transport to her location would have cost $2 and taken an hour return. Thank you but no thank you.
And here I thought my eyebrows could not go any higher. I think they hit the ceilieng. 5 stories above me.

It's actually not something I'm used to seeing, especially the online convos(I might be wrong but I think this kind of sh*t is less widespread here because people on the whole have lower life standards and are usually more grateful for what they do have/get) so that was a very entertaining read. It makes me wonder...are those like op unique cases or is this actually a common kind of attitude? This whole attitude...it's like very very infantile and it seems that's becoming a common thing in modern adults, especially in developed countries. With the coddling to kids' whims, with whole 'you can be whatever you want and do whatever you like'(yes, but there are certain limits to this...), with generous social support...to an extent all these things are great and much needed, but is this actually what we are getting on the big scale? A generation littered with people who want the world to comply to their every whim, adults with mentality of 5 year olds? That's alarming...
It's a common attitude, just not quite on this scale all the time. People complaining about getting the wrong gift, wanting a specific free coupon, complaining about free content not being as they expect, things like that.
