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!

So basically you knew you couldn't get what the kid wanted and instead of letting him be a little sad at home. you got his hopes up by taking him to go get it. asked for something for free that you know costs money and then blamed them for the fallout with your kid. Class act parenting there

Entitled Parent
LeighAnne Brown-Pedersen 2 years ago
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.

Needless to say, I never went home again.

That parent would never let you get your own house until they are able to get their hands on your money. It would be better to either move out asap or keep your money in a safe place (away from your parent's reach) until you are able to move out. You did not ask to be born, your parent made that decision on their own and they cannot use "I fed you" against you all the time.
Nick Curtis 2 years ago
my parents used to do this kind of stuff and it infuriated me, just take stuff I bought with money I earned or take money out of a joint account and use the excuse of it's my house or I take care of you. the parents chose to have a kid and knew the legal and fiscal responsibility it would require. they have no right to ask for you to pay them back, but you have no responsibility to give them anything so if they take something you earned you have every right to ask to be repaid.

My wife used to do a lot of road trips, at her last job in the US (we're in the UK now). I had an insulated Thermos mug that held 18 oz (as did she). If we went to a truck stop with self-serve drinks, I'd put a little bit of ice in it, fill it the rest of the way, then explain to the cashier, and I'd take the lid off so they could see how much ice/liquid was in the cup. I left it up to them to charge me for either a medium or a large, depending on how many ounces the standard paper cup would hold for a given size. I never felt like I was deliberately overcharged anytime I used my own cup.

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.

Dreaming Spirit 2 years ago
While I agree that expecting to be seated 5 minutes before closing time is ridiculous, I'd love it if more restaurants added "food serving time" as well. I'm terrible with estimates, I can't tell if the restaurant needs 30 minutes, 1 hour? It would be so much easier if they added "last orders taken at" :) Also, in my city there's a lot of restaurant and drink bar combos. They add opening time like for example 2pm-5am, but the kitchen closes earlier and you can only get snacks and drinks after 9pm - but you don't know that until you go in there and the server tells you.
Lucille 2 2 years ago

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!”

I'm late-diagnosed autistic, self-diagnosed for a while until I could afford to pay for professional diagnosis. An option I'm aware is not available to many people, especially given our high rates of unemployment and underemployment and just finding educated diagnosticians is a massive barrier. Knowing that about myself, understanding my needs has been completely life-changing. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with attention-seeking, I avoid attention. Estimates are 80-90% of autistic adults remain unidentified, undiagnosed, do not know they're autistic themselves. But awareness is growing so I think there's a chance many will realise in the coming years. It's not everyone, we're maybe about 2% of the population. Lots more autistic people are coming so it's time for the ignorant out there to get a clue! We don't need gate-keeping and invalidation for any in our community. That helps none of us.

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.”

I was a grocery cashier in the US for a number of years. Please, if you decide you don't want something, don't just stick it on some random shelf. Give it to me when you're ready to check out, and I'll make sure it gets put back where it belongs. The audacity to brag about how you're too good to put stuff you don't want back, "whether it's perishable or not..." Wow.

This is more common than people think. I have a job in grocery and regularly have to run groceries back to their departments because people change their minds constantly.
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.

Sure Its Not As If The Men Have A Standard 9-5 Job
Kathryn Baylis 2 years ago
However, do give up your seat if you’re able-bodied, all the seats are filled, and someone who’s handicapped, pregnant, old, or otherwise infirm is forced to stand. It’s called kindness, politeness, and courtesy—-and one day you may be one of those people, and will appreciate it if some able-bodied person offers you their seat when you’re standing. Karma. Do it for someone else now, and someone else will do it for you in the future.

I had to catch buses for a while last year and I definitely got some filthy looks for staying seated... what people wouldn't have known was that I was recovering from brain surgery. My scar was even hidden by my hair so all they would have seen was a seemingly able-bodied 31 year old not standing to let people over twice my age sit down. Especially if they had seen me walk onto the bus quite capably. Walking the distance from the bus stop to a seat I could do, but standing for more than about 5 minutes would leave me with horrible waves of vertigo.

If you need a seat on the bus, I pray you will find one. If you have the strength that day, I hope you are able to offer your seat when you can for someone else who is struggling.

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.

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.

We are same age. I get sick of the "boomers had it easy" attitude. SOME might have just as some of each generation does. My boomer experience was used clothes that got me teased at school, cheap foods like hot dogs and chicken pot pies, picking berries at age 11 and starting first farm job at age 12. Dumpster diving for toys after Christmas when I was younger. Didn't have all the cool toys. Every vehicle I have owned except one was used and that one was a mistake. Worked long hours, some of the jobs very not appealing. First and only house at age 43 was a damaged bank repo I remodeled myself because that is all I could afford even with some help from family. I'm retired now, my income is waaay below the poverty line and I live quite frugally I WISH I was living the life younger generations seem to think I am.

I was an older student when I went back to college for my Masters. You would be amazed how many students, mostly the younger ones, try to wheedle and brown nose instructors and classmates into basically doing their work for them. Group projects are a nightmare if one of them is assigned to your group. I’ve seen the older version of them in business too. Some get taught a really hard lesson, but others go on getting what they want, which is basically a free ride with all the goodies the rest of us have to actually work and earn. Managers, put your ego aside and beware of the fawning employee who practically love bombs you. They’re just brown nosing you and stroking your ego to get a free ride, which then puts the burden of their share of the workload on the rest of the employees you manage. Asskissers are not your friends. Do not give them any advantages—-give those the the most deserving employees, not the ones who say they’re your friends, but have a knife ready to shove in your back when you’re no longer useful to them. Drop kick them out of your office and make them actually work! The rest of your employees will love you for it. Believe me.
