Whether we like it or not, there’s a pretty high volume of influencer content on our social media feeds. Think of morning selfies, evening dinners, live videos, countless stories — we’re bombarded with their experiences and ideas they often disguise as ads. So let’s just put it out there, this whole influencer culture has gotten a bit out of control.

You see, some internet celebrities go out of their way to get more likes, followers, and attention, only to unintentionally reveal their entitled personalities. Luckily, there are plenty of people online ready to expose their ridiculous behaviors. Enter the Choosing Beggars subreddit, a community dedicated to "posting screenshots, pictures, or stories of people who are being way too picky when begging for things."

Bored Panda has selected some of the best posts of influencers asking to get stuff for free and rightfully getting shamed for it online. Continue scrolling and upvote your favorites as you go! And if you’re in the mood for some more Choosing Beggars goodness, check out our previous posts right here, here, and here.
