As human beings, we should feel entitled to a few things: fresh air, sustenance, a roof over our heads, freedom, the right to work and earn an education. Some people, however, have gotten a little too comfortable demanding things that they believe the world owes them. And lucky for us, other, more sane individuals, are happy to catalog their behavior and share it online.
Below, you’ll find photos and screenshots of some of the worst examples of entitlement from various subreddits dedicated to calling out old people, "beggars," moms and dads, and even some “entitled idiots.” Clearly, entitlement comes in all shapes and sizes, so enjoy reading through these frustrating posts, and be sure to upvote the ones you can’t believe are real!

Karen’s Sense Of Entitlement Knows No Bounds
So feeding the child and keeping him happy is other people's responsibility??
Entitled Parent
This smart kiddo will never see that money again. And this is a painful lesson to learn. When others find out you have and they want, especially if they’re family, they’ll take. And her mom did this to give to a friend? Kiddo needs to pocket as much cash as she can and once she’s 18, get her own account. And consider moving asap. Or get a rental agreement. Money between families is almost always ugly.
Keep Your Kids Inside Or Ill Call The Cops (Found On Facebook)
You should never be scared to go after what you want in life. Hard work and dedication can certainly go a long way. But when it comes to steamrolling others, demanding things you don’t deserve and simply being a jerk, well, there are plenty of subreddits that will be happy to put you in your place. One of which is Entitled Idiots, which describes itself simply as “a place to share when someone is being an entitled idiot.”
And if you’re looking for even more content putting entitled people on blast, feel free to check out Entitled Beggars. “Ever known that really overly-entitled person you met who constantly begs for free things and does nothing in return?” the group’s moderators ask. “This is the place to share those stories!” These groups feature screenshots, anecdotes and photos that might make your blood boil. But they serve a common goal: teaching the world to stop being so entitled!

If you’re a parent, perhaps you’ve come across your fair share of entitled moms and dads along the way who make you want to rip your hair out. Well, if you need a place to vent, why not check out Daddy Cringe on Reddit? This group, which has amassed nearly 15k members (or “cringers” as they call them) invites users to share a variety of stories featuring entitled individuals to be read aloud on their YouTube channel. And if you’re looking for even more stories of entitled moms and dads, have no fear. The Insane Parent Stories subreddit is here!
And last, but not least, we’ve also featured some images on this list from the lovely Entitled Old People subreddit. This group has nothing against your lovely elderly parents or your 80-year-old neighbor who occasionally brings you freshly baked cookies. But it doesn’t hesitate to call out entitled individuals who seem downright delusional. Whether you’re in kindergarten or a senior citizens home, there’s no excuse for acting like everyone owes you something.

For most of us, demanding free photos for your wedding or a complimentary meal just because you’re an influencer sounds absurd. But somehow, every now and then, someone makes it to adulthood without being put in their place enough and voila! They become an entitled adult. According to BetterHelp, a sense of entitlement “is a personality trait that is based on a person’s belief that they deserve privileges or recognition for things that they did not earn.” And there are several potential causes for this mindset. Sometimes, these individuals were given anything and everything they wanted as children without ever facing obstacles or being told no. Other times, personality disorders, such as narcissism or antisocial personality disorder may be contributing factors.

Entitlement can also crop up as an attempt to overcompensate for past wrongs, BetterHelp explains. For example, if someone has been mistreated, abused, or grew up deprived of love and affection, they might begin to demand what they grew up lacking from others. This entitlement is rooted in victimhood and can cause major issues in both personal and professional relationships. When entitlement stems from a personality disorder, the individual might simply perceive themself as superior to others or view themself as above the rules in some ways. “I don’t have to wait in line because I have places to be!”

Do they REALLY play the national anthem in bars in America?? That'll get the party started!
American here. Yeah, it's cultlike. Pledging allegiance to the flag in school... what kind of brainwashing is that? It's terrifying. The indoctrination of children is ridiculous. It used to be subtle but has devolves into outright and public nationalism.

As veteran my opinion of those guys who refused to stand is that they were using the freedom I helped protect.
Thanks for not making us vets look bad. (Good grief; you’re shockingly rate!) You’re exactly right, and this anencephalic dolt is crazy-wrong. I hope this review blew up in his face.
Load More Replies... You didn't get kicked out for standing, you got kicked out for trying to force others to stand. Perhaps they were not African Americans, but English or French people, who didn't have an inclination to stand for another country.
I have never been in a bar in America - and I have been to plenty - where they play the National Anthem.
Probably a bar that plays sports on TV. I would guess that a lot of people watching sports at home don't stand when the anthem is played. We don't.

No. You caused a ruckus and bothered other patrons and tried to pick a fight.

In the late 90's I dated a guy who loved MLB so we went t a lot of games in several cities, and a few NFL. Barely anyone stood during the anthem. More people participated in the wave and Take Me Out To The Ball Game. Then 9/11 happened and then Kaep knelt and people lost their dang minds. Hubby and I went to an NFL game in 2016. Barely anyone stood during the anthem because it was January on one of the Great Lakes and everyone was freezing! I won't stand anyhow. My mom was a Jehovah Witness and I got ridiculed in grade school for not saying the pledge of Allegiance. So now I sit because that's what I'm free to do.
Yes, all the ballgames I've been to the anthem is when people are getting their beer, which they don't stop serving because the anthem was going

This reminds me of getting the evil eye in the UK from certain individuals because I would NOT clap for the NHS on (tuesday?) nights every week during the pandemic. Firstly because it was pointless, as we had no NHS people on our street and second, because I thought it was frigging creepy as hell and bordering on cultish behaviour. Got really weirded out by this most un-British of behaviour suddenly being EXPECTED of everyone. If you really want to show your appreciation, by your local hospital an order of KrispyKremes or something without the creepy-culty overtones....
Yeah I never did any of that clapping nonsense - it was weird as hell. And what did it achieve? If I was working for the nhs I would've been more insulted by the half arsed at best attempt at showing appreciation- a pay rise would've been a much better reward, or at least an extra bonus as a thank you not some eejits clapping into the void
Load More Replies... No one has a right to demand anyone else needs to stand up! I know I'm not going to.
I've never heard of anyone playing the national anthem in a bar...ever.
It's a person's Constitutional right in the US to not stand for the national anthem. It's been that way for ages. You don't have to like it, but a person's choice to stand or not is protected.
Maybe it's because your buddy harassed 4 other customers at the restaurant for minding their own d@mn business. I've never really cared about the national anthem. It's just sort of there and it should not take so long to sing it, but it does. I stopped standing during it because I felt like it was too cult-like a long time ago, but hey if it helps protest racism now too, I'll do even more not standing. I thought the point of freedom fighting veterans was that people could choose to stand during the national anthem or choose not to stand during it, because freedom.
I'm curious about the location cause we have a Fast Eddie's where I'm at. I would love to find out they kicked these people out because I already like the place
That has to be made up. No bar that I have ever been to plays the national anthem, nor stands for it if it happens to be shown at the beginning of a televised sports event (which not even sure why we do that to begin with). Even if these people were doing it because the guy was in the military no one else in that bar would be.
The pledge was originally a marketing PR trick to sell more flags.. also the words "under god'' we're not added until 1954.
Once I took my 4 year old to a monster truck show and they played the anthem, I went to stand like everyone else and my son wanted me to sit back down with him. I don't really care either way but I could feel people looking at me for sitting and that was annoying. I also wasn't about to make my kid stand if he doesn't want to. I completely understand why we stand for the anthem but I don't think harassing people who don't solves anything. Just everyone mind ya business 🤣
Yeah they don't actually play that awful song in bars this guy is lying.
They play it before baseball and football and hockey games. Those are probably on the dozen TVs in the bar.

Play the national anthem in a Swedish bar, half wont recognize it and if anyone stands up you will get weird looks.
Just because they didn’t stand doesn’t mean you have to bug them about it
If I have been at a sports bar for pre game anthem time whether you stand or not seems to be an individual choice. But nobody ever even got off the bus.
Americans and their weird obsession with their national anthem/flag/pledge of allegiance. And this is coming from a Scot - when our national anthem is played everyone sings enthusiastically but no one is going to bully someone who doesn't join in, it's not insulting if someone doesn't go along with the crowd, it isn't disrespectful in the slightest.
You did notice that the bullies were the ones who got kicked out, right? The ultra right-wing people have an obsession with all things American. The rest of us aren’t like that.
Load More Replies... Dont know which brainwashes their citizens more, North Korea or good old Murica
Are you sure they were Americans? I wouldn't stand for your anthem, either.
In NZ our national anthem gets played at special school occasions and public sports events. The end. Thank goodness.
If you want everyone to stand for the national anthem, go get engaged in a North Korean bar.
Saw a neighbor post on nextdoor asking why there weren’t more flags being flown in the hood on the 4th. Politicizing patriotism is why my friend, politicizing patriotism.
ok.... glad to know that you've been subliminally brainwashed to "rise to the occasion" when you hear your national anthem.

There’s no question that navigating relationships with entitled individuals can be frustrating. In fact, it can actually lower our wellbeing. But according to research, it’s also difficult to be an entitled individual. “Entitled people have high expectations that often go unmet, which can lead to disappointment and psychological distress,” Emily Zitek at SPSP writes. “Entitled individuals are also more likely to have difficulty maintaining positive relationships with other people, and they often believe they are being treated unfairly.”

There's a lot of people on BP who complain about posts and other peoples' comments. I advise taking Red's advice: don't complain, YOU chose to look at it/read it XD Edit for clarification: I don't mean debating or disagreeing with the post or comment in an intellectual manner of debate, I mean when people read something they don't like or don't agree with and immediately attack the poster with racist, bigoted, or just downright mean stuff/threats/etc XD By all means debate! But don't comment something like "we don't care" like Blue did above XD

The good news, when it comes to entitled individuals, is that they’re not all doomed to hold that mindset forever. It probably won’t be easy to adopt a healthier outlook on life, but according to BetterHelp, it’s possible to overcome a sense of entitlement. One strategy that may help is to stop comparing themselves to others. “Someone with a sense of entitlement may benefit from remembering that they don’t need to compete with others and that they can accomplish their own goals and dreams,” the experts explain.

It can also be useful for entitled individuals to make a list of goals they want to accomplish, as well as what they’re willing to do to reach those goals. This might remind them to be realistic about what they can achieve and understand that effort has to be put in to make progress. It’s also crucial to learn how to handle setbacks, when trying to overcome a sense of entitlement. “The feeling they may get from accomplishing a goal on their own is likely going to be much greater than receiving something without investing any significant effort,” the BetterHelp team notes. And as hard as it may be for them, it’s helpful for entitled individuals to see situations from another person’s point of view, as they likely haven’t considered it on their own.

Living in the present can also be a helpful tactic when combating entitlement. They have to let go of negative situations from the past and keep an open mind. And of course, they must be reminded to treat others with respect, compassion and gratitude, the BetterHelp team notes. “If they are genuinely kind to others and commit to acts of selflessness without expecting a favor in return, others may feel a desire to return the same goodness to them.”

Well, even though boomers did have it a lot easier—-and I am not at all defending the s****y boomer attitude, no way. I’m a late boomer, 1960, and totally missed the boomer gravy train, so I’m more like GenX, tbh—--most of them still had to work for what they have. They had to put up with a lot of s**t too; long work days, a*****e bosses, unchecked and actually condoned (by management and the establishment, ffs) harassment if they’re women and POC, companies that stole their lives and made them strangers in their own families, burned them out and threw them away right before their 401Ks vested or sold thei company and the new one drained the pension fund they contributed to their whole working life then took the money and closed the company down, all while management’s often repeated retaliatory threats of withholding of well-deserved raises, bonuses, and promotions, as well as being laid off, fired, and blacklisted hung over them if they didn’t toe the line and just put up with being underpaid and treated like s**t, plus all the other typical Draconian, cruel, abusive, predatory, dog eat dog tactics used in unbridled and unregulated capitalist business practices—-that we’re only now finally fighting against. Yeah, they may have had advantages that don’t exist anymore, but that doesn’t mean they had it all that easy.
