27 Times People’s Friends Were So Fake And Entitled That They Got Called Out For It Online
Just like the Beatles, most of us “get by with a little help from our friends”. It’s important to have a solid network of people you can trust and lean on, and friends to go to when you’re having a hard time. But unfortunately, no matter how great of a friend you are, there’s always a chance that someone else in your life will try to take advantage of your kindness and generosity...
Down below, we've gathered some of the most infuriating posts from the Choosing Beggars subreddit featuring entitled “friends” who showed their true colors and clearly forgot that "beggars can't be choosers". So we hope these pics don’t remind you of anyone you consider a friend, but if they do, perhaps this will be a wake-up call that you deserve better!
Be sure to upvote the conversations you can’t believe actually happened, and let us know in the comments if you’ve ever had to cut off an entitled friend who could have landed a spot on this list. Then if you’re interested in checking out one of Bored Panda’s previous articles featuring the Choosing Beggars subreddit, you can find another right here!

“Good Friend” Wants Free Custom Sneakers
So do some men when a woman says 'no'. They resort to 'you're ugly/fat/stupid/whorish anyway and no one would want you anyway!' Same maturity level.
Load More Replies...YES OP!!!! Good for you dude! The "I know what my art is worth" part made me smile! This is why artists of any kind need to stop giving away their talent for free. Doesn't matter if it's a business that wants you to design something for a job interview.. or a family member who wants you to draw up a tattoo design for them.. doesn't matter if it's your school who wants you to make banners for the school dance... doesn't matter if you're a photographer whose friend wants you to shoot their engagement photos for free... unless it's part of your job that you're getting paid for or it's for a grade or it's for a gift... don't fucken do it for free! Period!
Yes!!! We have one of those chalkboard menus at my work (15' x 6', so, huge) and my coworker has made it her canvas. It's impressive, and starting to gain attention- everyone loves it. I come in the other day to see her working on a holiday mural along our window front, manager is with her "envisioning" all the themes he wants included. This is well outside our duties of "bartenders" and as an artist myself, I had to look out for her, so I go over to them- as sugary sweet as a root canal- and exclaim, loudly, in front of customers: Girl, you are so talented! I'm so happy corporate is contracting you to do all our artwork and not just buying it premade like [bougie grocery store in same shopping center]. This is a lot of window space! How do you calculate your quote - is it by surface area or time spent?" Etc, etc and by Manager's purple face, it clearly never came up that she should be compensated more than just being clocked in

Load More Replies...Losing a close friend can be just as painful as losing a romantic partner. Someone you trusted, loved and shared wonderful memories with is no longer a part of your life, and they may leave you feeling like there is a void that needs to be filled. But sometimes removing a friend is necessary. If they act entitled, selfish, rude or disrespectful, they aren’t much of a friend anyway. This list features conversations between friends that are disappointing and painful to read, but they’re a great reminder that none of us should ever settle for poor treatment. If someone can’t reciprocate being a great friend, don’t be afraid to cut them out.
But when you’ve known someone for a long time or tend to give others the benefit of the doubt, it might be hard to spot when someone is a fake friend. So we’ve consulted an article Sarah Regan wrote for MBG Relationships outlining tips from experts about how to recognize when someone is a toxic friend and how to respond to them. First, let's outline what a good friend is. According to licensed marriage and family therapist Tiana Leeds, M.A., LMFT, "A quality friendship includes support, loyalty, and closeness—three things you cannot find in a fake friend.”

The Sheer Audacity Of Someone Who Stopped Associating With Our Friend Circle "To Pursue A Richer Life"
Roaches are very prolific. It's not my fault you have hundreds of larva to feed.
Load More Replies...This reminds me of when my sister messaged my best friend from school who she has no connection to apart from me (and I hadn’t seen her in years, though we were Facebook friends), and asked her for money. Even told her not to tell me, but she did of course. The absolute lack of shame.
yeah, all good till one has to pay back what's owed; once lent a round sum to a neighbour I seemed to get on well-ish with, after I asked for the money back once they were able to return it they looked at me like I beheaded some of their kin with a pancake or at least betrayed them
When it comes to the qualities of a fake friend, Sarah first notes that fake friends tend to only come around when they need something, and they mysteriously vanish when you need support. True friends aren’t trying to gain something from your relationship; they value you for you. Fake friends might expect help or support at the drop of a hat without ever considering what you are going through, and then they might become angry or impatient if you ever ask for something in return. Don’t let a fake friend make you feel like a burden, and don’t be willing to bend over backwards for people who wouldn’t do the same for you.
Another tell-tale sign of a toxic friend is someone who is unnecessarily competitive with you. They might try to one-up you in conversation or be less than supportive when you have success or achieve accomplishments. True friends are happy for one another, and never compare themselves to you. Friends should just be friends, not competitors.
Wife's Choosing Beggar Friend Begging For Clothes For Vegas Bachelorette Party Even Though They're Not The Same Size
Totally entitled. Can afford to lease a Lexus and go to Vegas for a couple of days as a "single mom" and still expects someone else to pay for her clothes.

Load More Replies...All kinds of people. I had a SIL who would rather buy couple cases of beer than buy something to wear. She had a banquet to go to, she asked me if she could borrow something nice to wear. Against my better judgement, I loaned her a beautiful sequined blouse, a beautiful skirt and even the f-ing slip to go underneath it all. Couple months later I called her and asked if I could have my clothes back. She says "I thought you gave them to me." "No I didn't, I clearly said borrow." So then she says "well...uh.. Jane (her daughter) already wore it to her H.S. concert. I guess I could probably find them in the clothes pile in her floor." (Underneath all the dirt and mouse droppings) ICK, never mind. Lesson learned.

A good friend will also never make you feel bad about yourself. If someone you consider a friend ever makes you feel insecure, fails to lift you up when you’re down or judges you, I've got some news for you: they’re a fake friend. As with being overly competitive, this can stem from insecurities within an individual, but it still is not a valid excuse. Friends should remind one another that they’re valued just the way they are, and they should never make each other question if something is wrong with them.
Real friends will also be thrilled about your accomplishments and happy to celebrate with you. If a friend downplays things you’ve worked hard to earn or achieve, it might be time to cut them out. We all need a strong support system in our lives, and if the people close to you are not encouraging your dreams and celebrating your successes, don’t consider them friends. Life’s too short to have people around who will hold you back.

Load More Replies...Bride Tries To Force Friend To Do Photography For Her Wedding, Insists That He Pays Her For The Privilege
how it ended (summarized from Reddit): Once OP agreed, everything went quiet. Then when they didn’t show up on the wedding day, hundreds of angry texts and dozens of calls started rolling in. Later, the bride’s dad shows up and bangs on OP’s door, but leaves when they don’t answer. The next day, more texts and calls. Apparently the bride needed the $50 to pay the officiant (she then had to crowdsource the $), there were no pictures besides crappy phone shots, OP was “called out” in the best man’s speech, and everyone, including OP's mother, was upset. In a later edit OP said they contacted law enforcement because the harassment was ongoing. Then a bit later Bridezilla and her dad were both arrested (there was a ton of evidence from public social media shaming and all the texts and calls). No more updates after that, but justice was served!
So she wants you to pay her to work for her.... It never ceases to amaze me what counts as "friendship" in some places.
I love the payback that b***h of a bride got. I’m curious if those ppl knew that the bride was demanding free service AND payment for the honor of getting to take the pic. If yes, that would be beyond pathetic, and why can’t these other assholes pay for a photographer and also each give the bride $50 for the privilege. ** I wish we knew what happened on the wedding day (?). I would have loved to see that train wreck.
Yeah. This is one of the rare times, that I really want to know what happened.
Load More Replies...The idea the wedding photographer would sell photos at the wedding! Lol. On the odd chance that the guests are willing to pay for the photographer's work - when you often see posts complaining about having to pay for drinks at the bar - does anyone think this entitled bride would stand by patiently waiting for her next picture to be taken whilst the photographer makes a sale?
That how sometimes is done in Serbia. Guests pay for music request and photos but there is really plenty of food(large amount of appatizers, plater of dried meat, sausages, cheese, boiled eggs several types of "hard salads", then goes rich soup, then goulash or traditional cabbage rolls, then roasted meat or grilled meat, in totall 1.2 kg of food per person and you cant take it home, its not polite bit if someone from family was invited but could not make it host will send some food to that guest) and unlimited amount of drinks. Organaziers will pay photographer some amount of money and guest pays for photos of themselves. Photos are not much exepencive and photographers are unusally capable to recognize family members. That way they got payed for one photo by several people(families). If you dont want photo, you dont have to pay. I dont know why I did so much details...

Load More Replies...Our friends should also energize and rejuvenate us, rather than drain our energy. If you find yourself feeling exhausted trying to deal with a particular friend, that’s never a good sign. They might be constantly asking for favors, cancel plans at the last minute when you’ve already left the house, demand they borrow something that you actually need or dominate all of your time together focused on their problems and what’s going on in their life. If they’re complaining incessantly or causing you stress, they’re not a great friend. And if a so-called friend is saying disrespectful things about you behind your back or spreading rumors about you, cut them off right then. Nobody deserves that.

Girl’s Friend Won’t Pay For Art Because She Could ‘Get It For Free’
No, it sounds like a YOU problem baby boo! You're asking me for free art not the other way around. 😒
Girl - try that in the next store you go to. “That’ll be $265 ma’am.” “Yeah, no. I feel that’s a you problem, baby boo.” Then you can patronize the cops who arrive too, and tell them that yeah, no; you’re not coming with them down to the station because you having committed a crime sounds like a them problem to you. Let’s see how that works out for you, “baby boo”. I strongly dislike people who talk down to others in a cheap attempt of undermining them. No, dum-dum; it doesn’t make you the winner - it’s glaringly obvious, it’s tacky, and everybody fυcking hates it; it’ll just make you the αsshole. If you absolutely cannot refrain from insulting people, then curse them out - at least have enough decency not to be condescending.

I Have A Friend I’ve Known For 7 Months, He’s Known As The Greedy One In The Friend Group

Good on you to recognize what kind of "friend" this guy is and kick him to curb.
There is a toxic mentality going around that anyone who has money doesn't deserve it, and those who don't have it have rights to other people's. I've had several friends who had this mentality. They would encourage their friends to be successful purely because they expected them to financially support them once they "made it"....they lived on hand outs and after a while the entitlement sets in. Sad.
Here in the States, we call that "socialism." JS

I had a SIL with that mentality. You have money. You could give me those clothes. You have money. You could put my kids thru college.
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is 85 bucks alone (price in Switzerland, I don't know the American one). 150 bucks for two triple A titles AND a console is an offense.

Friendships can be complicated, and especially when you’ve had a relationship with someone for many years, it can be hard to determine whether they are fake or not. But at the end of the day, you have to discern whether they have your best interests at heart. If they cancel plans last minute several times in a row, but they’ve been dealing with mental health issues or a recent trauma, you might understand and give them a free pass. If they blow up at you one time and end up saying hurtful things, but they’ve always had your back in the past and promptly apologize, it might not be worth ending the friendship over. But if you’ve noticed a pattern of harmful behavior, especially after you’ve discussed how painful it is to you, then it might be time to reconsider the friendship. If they’re causing you more stress and grief than joy, that’s not a good sign.

An Old Friend From College Asked For “Help” With A Paper
Guess everybody's selfish because they don't write 5 double spaced pages for all 197 countries of the world and give em out for free.
Damn. If I was OP and had time to burn: one paper on Wakanda coming right up!
When I was in grad school, there was an undergrad girl I had a few cross-listed classes with. After I graduated and she started grad school, she kept asking me for help and to see my work. I explained instructions a few times but she needed help with EVERY assignment. Just straight up told her she had to grow up and do grad school herself like I did. And I told my boss to never hire her.
5 pages double spaced? Dude, that's like 2 and a quarter at single space. There's so many countries with rich histories that make that actually such a pain to try to stay within. What a lazy POS.
OK someone needs to explain this one to me I'm so confused. What is the 'friend' asking for!?
They're asking if they wrote an essay/paper like that, because they want to copy it and say its their work...so they can use it in their class.

Friendships ebb and flow over time, but if you’ve determined that a certain person is no longer beneficial to your journey, you might want to start taking steps to remove them from your life. Depending on the nature of the friendship and why you’re frustrated with the person, it might be best to attempt having an honest conversation with them first to see if the relationship is salvageable. But if that does not prove successful or you’ve given them too many chances in the past, you might want to try cutting them off. This can be done by creating distance or by having a “breakup”. If you think it’s best to put distance between yourself and your former friend, you can start by canceling plans and not rescheduling. Some fake friends will get the message or won’t put in the effort to reconnect anyway, which can allow the relationship to fizzle out.

I always catered to my friends on my bday. I enjoyed planning and setting up the party so everyone had fun. I never asked for gifts but occasionally someone would get me something, usually booze for the party or snacks for the party. In the last 5 years no one has wanted to come to my bday cuz they all had kids, totally fine I get that cuz mine are 10+ years older than theirs. The things is no one has even messaged me a happy bday in those years and so last year I asked for them to at least do that...and I got no replies. Then I learned I was autistic and now I believe I never had friends, I was just a good time friend and not even respected as a person this whole time. I told them I was diagnosed asd and now their all weird and get pissed when I point out their lies instead of my old way of saying nothing. I'm going out for my bday this year so maybe I'll make some new friends.

As he was quite nice, I asked him several times if he would like to go out for a beer or coffee, but he never found the time to meet. A year or two later he suddenly wanted me to build a website for him, for a "friends fee". I told him No, because someone who obviously didn't find me interesting enough to go out or even sometimes call me is no friend of mine.

Having a proper breakup is not always required when ending a fake friendship, because the other person may have never been as invested as you in the first place. But if you do want to have a conversation with them to provide clarity and let them know how they’ve hurt you, feel free to be honest about how you feel and why the relationship is no longer serving you. They may get defensive, disagree or respond with hurtful words out of spite, but at least you’ll know that you’re free from the burden of being their friend. (Unless they hit you up a month later asking for $300… Then you call them out on the Choosing Beggars subreddit.)

"Ik you don't have right". Then msg someone else on fb saying how cheap you were or whatever. I swear I've had a conversation just like that where they were trying to get money from me. Was a scam.
If that's what you would call an apology, sure. Problem is she has no idea what was actually offensive.

Needlepoint original art, 50 bucks doesnt seem too expensive. Sure you can get some mass produced stuff cheaper but if you want something unique then you gotta pay something.
I love how all these exchanges usually go. "Omg ur so good!! Ur stuff is amazing! Can u do xyz for me as a friend?" "No. This is my business and I need monetary compensation." "I thought we were friends whatever ur stuff sucks anyway"
These people are quite amusing...Not! Attempting to coerce, finagle, butter-up, manipulate a 'friend' to give away their artistic talent free of charge is unacceptable.

Yeah let me just whip one out. Entitled Brat. That is a lot of work. Very time consuming.
Ask them how much they get paid per hour, then double or triple that as your best rebated price for what they want.
Load More Replies...$50 is too low, even something like that can still take 25 hours or more. After the cost of supplies, that's less than $2 an hour for the labor. Damn. This is why I don't sell, people will never pay what handmade items are worth. But now I know another pattern to add to my collection.
Love the image,too but would prefer the battle axe the dwarf in LOTR was using, you know, the big double bladed axe with huge blades!

Where is the BP censorship ?? It's a sunday, I shouldn't be able to read that last word !!
Why would you point out more words to censor? Its already ridiculous
Load More Replies...All they care about is brand name and how socially acceptable that brand is in their group, it doesnt matter that beats are overpriced and way worse build and sound quality than those Sennheisers. As long as its some celebrity endorsed brand and expensive.
Load More Replies...Yepp, for some people "upgrade" means upgrade in quality, for some it just means more hot air to flaunt to their friends. I still get frustrated when I think about that time me needing a new pair of headphones (and being fed up with low quality ones) and "what do you want for Christmas/ your birthday?" happened at the same time. I wanted Sennheiser headphones. Would have bought them myself regardless, but my parents can be generous if they know something is good quality and will last a while. Nope. Got beats or something similar looking (apparently what the salesperson at the electronics store my dad went to thought was the next best thing as they didn't have Sennheiser headphones)I don't really remember, I just know that the sound was c**p. Ultimately bought the Sennheiser headphones and the fashion ones got exchanged, but I still get frustrated at the memory.
If you’ve ended a fake friendship and you’re in search of new friends who are more genuine and will treat you with the respect and care that you deserve, I want to encourage you to get outside of your comfort zone and reach out to others. Perhaps there’s someone at work who you enjoy talking to that you can invite out for an evening to build a friendship outside of the office. Maybe you volunteer on the weekends and can make like-minded friends through the organizations you serve there. And never underestimate the power of Facebook groups. There are groups and pages for every interest you could ever imagine, and for every fake friend, there are plenty of other people out there who will appreciate you and make you feel loved and supported.
A Friend From High School
Try taking free food at the grocery store, and complain that it is the only time you did it when you're arrested.
And I'm certain if you were the ONLY one asking for "FREE" stuff they'd been nicer about how not nice you are. But you're number three thousand seven hundred eighty eleven.
I don’t understand people. I feel like artistic professions are like watching the Olympics. They make it look so easy and natural that anyone can do it but a regular people who try ice skating aren’t likely to pick it up or have the same effect. It’s years and years of practice and classes and trial and error. When you're paying for an artist you’re paying for the skill they have acquired to “just point and shoot”. You have to pay for the services you want 🤷🏼♀️
No one owed you squat. To broke to get married,then call it off. To demand the skills and equipment of a pro and then insult them is no sign of adulthood
Try ordering free food in an expensive restaurant and say it's my dad's wedding, see how that works out for you.
“Friend” Begs Artist For Free Art
And here i am asked a friend to make some stuff for my streams. She charged me 40 and i gave her 80 cuz 1 s**t was really cool and 2 she undersold herself imo she def deserved the 80
Because you're an adult who doesn't need censorship.
Load More Replies...Even if showing this to their stream viewers might be bit questionable I would do it out of spite :D let them see how chatters react to b******t like this, bunch of stream viewers happen to be artists (based on how much fan art every streamer gets) and probably wouldnt swallow this kind of entitlement peacefully.
The viewers are going to flame this person because they refused to do free work for a cheapskate beggar? That may work until the screenshot of the convo gets uploaded....oh, wait. 😂
Just wait until the viewers flame the OP instead!
Load More Replies...Lol I would make sure these screens were shared online in a way that her viewers can see what a btchy cheapass their streamer is... Seriously you have to be STUPID to be so cnty is such an easy to prove way when you're trying to be a media personality
"If I had a nickel for every pixel in this image, I'd have about 3 cents"
Some people are really entitled. The first thing I ask a friend or family before asking if they can do something for me is their price. If they are offended by my thinking they'll charge me, I'd rather that than assume they should do it for free
A FB Friend Said They Couldn't Afford To Eat After Their Boyfriend Moved Out, I Offered To Send Them Food
You know she wants only expensive choices since someone else would be buying it - for her to need food for all of the following month , I’m guessing she hasn’t bothered to get an actual job.

Load More Replies...I think the OP asked if canned food and rice would be helpful, because she knows that is what she could get at a food bank and I think she was going to offer to take the friend to the food bank, or go there herself and get it for her. Then the hungry friend could get a BAG of groceries like canned food, rice, pasta, spaghetti sauce, tuna, peanut butter, bread, a real amount of food without OP having to spend $100 on groceries. But it seems the hungry friend isn't THAT hungry.
You can do so much with canned food. Just because it has canned or frozen in the title suddenly makes it so gross to so many people and I've never understood why
Clearly “friends” is not the appropriate word to refer to the people on this list, but thankfully, the individuals who shared these photos have figured that out. We hope you pandas cannot relate to the people dealing with all of these frustratingly fake friends, but if you can, know that you’re not alone. And remember that you deserve better! No friendship is worth being treated poorly, disrespected or taken advantage of. Keep upvoting the conversations that you find particularly appalling, and feel free to vent about any of your entitled “friends” down below. And if you want to check out another Bored Panda article featuring choosy beggars, you can find one right here!
My Friend Wanted Me To Give Him Some Drone Video For Some Cereal
But, at a resell value of $20+... that's a lot of money. /s

Sounds Like Their Friend Didn’t Want To Give Them Their Netflix Password
If the poster has a car I would expect him to pick up every hitchhiker he sees. Empty seats .. .
Sounds like this person got turned down after asking for someone's Netflix and is feeling a lil salty lol. People do share their passwords with close friends but not with shitty friends, so if you aren't getting passwords you know which one you are !!
If you really believe that script, then *you* pay for the Netflix every month and give *me* the free slot. Hello? Is anyone still there?
The poster should take his own advice and fill up all those empty slots in his brain.
And this is why Netflix ended the sharing accounts( one of the reasons)
I’d have setup parental controls on the empty slot and made it so they can only see children's shows. Happy to help a friend ;)
Since Netflix is going to start cracking down on this, I can't imagine it going over well for anyone who is actually threatened by them
If the friend wants to contribute a proportionate percentage of the subscription cost in exchange for their slot, then yes, that makes sense. Otherwise, quite entitled.
My Boyfriend's Conversation With One Of His Old Buddies
Wait.... why are they paying off a 55k car if they don't have a license, can't drive, and are bumming rides? Things don't add up there.
Maybe the "drives ed" is court mandated before he can get his license back, and the $55k car is the one he hit while driving his uninsured hoopty.
Load More Replies..."I'm starting my drives ed online next week though" - I'm pretty sure they don't have "online driver's ed" classes....also, how did this person get a car if they don't have their license? If they have so much money, why not just take an Uber (or a taxi, if no Uber is available in their area)? Yikes.
I took my state’s required drivers Ed class over zoom, but only because it was during the height of the pandemic. My family was luckily able to spend some money on an affordable drivers Ed instructor to give me some lessons in an actual car, though.
Load More Replies...Then he shouldn't have gotten that car BEFORE HE EVEN LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE!!!!
Why does he have a 55k car if he doesn't have a drivers license?????
The boredest panda ---- He didn't say the 55K car was HIS. . . . he said, he was PAYING OFF a car that was WORTH 55K. ---- Now I think, if he had bought a car for 55K, he would have SAID that. You know, "I am still paying off the car I bought, it cost me 55k." OR here is another idea. Maybe his grandpa has an old car that he is selling him, and IF the kid can RESTORE IT, it will be a classic car, and worth (he used the word WORTH) the restored classic car WOULD BE WORTH 55k. But he is still working to pay his grandpa the 2K grandpa agreed to sell the old car for. ---- A third option is exactly what someone said above. --"Maybe the "drives ed" is court mandated before he can get his license back, and the $55k car is the one he hit while driving his uninsured hooptie." --- I bet that is a definite possible, he very clearly did not call the car HIS CAR, he said I am paying off A CAR that's worth 55K.
Load More Replies...Why would they buy a very expensive car they’re clearly struggling to afford, when there’s no guarantee they’ll pass their test and be able to drive it??? And even if they do pass their test and get their license, they’ll be very new to diving and will likely damage their super expensive car!
Like backing out of the driveway onto the street and getting the car cut in two by the snowplow clearing his street passing by at 55 in a 30mph residential zone.
Load More Replies...Anybody else confused by the "True, it's for work" bit? Why not just say "it's for work"? I'm also confused by the "before my gpa shows up" bit. Do they mean RA? What does "shows up" mean in this context?
Epona ---- I think gpa is short for grandpa. Maybe he is hoping his friend will give him a ride, and he needs to know right now (rn) because if the friend CAN'T give him a ride, his grandpa is on the way to his house, on an unrelated errand, and, because he has no other option, he is going to have to ask his grandpa to take him to work and grandpa (gpa) may not be happy about that, though I don't know why grandpa would be upset. -- He is trying to get yes or no from his friend. If his friend can tell him right now (rn) that he can take him, he doesn't have to ask gpa for a ride and p**s him off, and gpa's arrival is imminent. Edit: "True, it's for work" means it's for work so It's important, and true means, I am not lying, it really is for work. --- He is asking for a ride to a legitimate and important event, his work, and reassuring his friend that is it the truth and not a lie/like a trip to the store for beer.
Load More Replies...If their car only does 10 miles/gallon they’ve got a bigger problem…
My ex had a fast, restored, 66 Pontiac Lemans, with extra carburetors and rear-ends and things, and it only got 4 miles per gallon, which also was a problem, but a problem he created. Maybe the truck is souped-up in some way and gets bad mileage for that reason also. My ex only drove his Lemans gently and not far because of the mileage. We only lived a couple of miles from his job. If we went other places like out to dinner or over to friends house, we just took my car.

Then I have a homeless man that says that even if I can't help him, he'd like me to come by so we can talk because he enjoys the company. The so-called friends on this post need to get their priorities straight.
That’s because a homeless man understands good values and worth of the simple things.

Crazy because I was thinking, whoa ive never met anyone like this and the idea that people actually behave this way is incredibly embarassing. Like I can't imagine actually saying some of this stuff without dropping dead from sheer shame.
