Have you ever met someone who believes they can always get their own way? That they’re better than anyone else in the room and deserve special recognition for merely existing? Well, if you haven’t, consider yourself lucky. But thanks to the subreddits we will call 'Entitled Batch' and 'Eff You Karen', there’s proof that many people have.
Entitled people are far from our preferred choice of company, yet we still have the “pleasure” of encountering them every now and then. But while some of us decide not to waste time and energy on arguments that lead to nowhere, others take out their phones and rightfully shame these jerks online.
And we get to see it all in broad daylight. Bored Panda has collected the most teeth-clenching and blood-boiling examples of how some people are way out-of-touch and light years away from reality. So continue scrolling and feel free to vent your feelings in the comments.
Psst! If you’re still in the mood for more jerkish behavior, take a look at our previous posts here, here, and here.

When entitled people aggressively ask for discounts, demand to speak to your manager, leave zero tips, and grab more freebies than they can carry — they’re almost asking to be exposed for their shameful behavior. With over 328K members and counting, the ‘Entitled Batch’ subreddit is doing exactly that. The moderators want to share what the very real experiences with people who "always get their own way and are better than everyone" look like.
However, the moderators also noted the forum "in no way intends to spread hate or abuse or to offend any party" but rather to share stories and entertainment. So just because a person’s entitled, it doesn’t mean they deserve to receive an enormous amount of hate.
For this reason, the number one rule states it’s forbidden to include any information that could identify the people connected with any posts. Whether it’s their names, phone numbers, addresses, or locations, they ask fellow group members to be respectful.

Their freedom to what - not get thrown through the windscreen when they hit a cow on the freeway?
The other subreddit that is featured in this post, ‘Eff You Karen’, is a 1.3M-strong online community that is purely dedicated to exposing the most annoying Karen behavior. Some of the forum’s rules include avoiding witch hunts, political topics, and also censoring social media identities, yet their posts still make for really amusing content.
Sure, everyone has those awful days when it feels like the whole world is against them. Also, every single one of us make mistakes we’re not proud of. But not all take the opportunity to learn from them and be on their way to becoming better human beings. Some people resort to such entitled manners, it’s hard for them to go unnoticed.
We can probably agree there’s no excuse for behaving like an awful and selfish person, but there’s still one question that keeps running through our minds: Why are they acting this way in the first place?

"Psychological entitlement is the perception that one is more deserving of favorable outcomes than other people are," Emily Zitek, a professor at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, explained to Bored Panda in a previous interview. "Entitled individuals view themselves as unique, and they believe that they should receive rewards and benefits, such as more money, better grades, or preferential treatment, regardless of their performance or effort in comparison with others."
According to her, a sense of entitlement could come from many possible sources. Previous research has shown how messages in the media, an organization’s culture or reward system, or certain parenting practices may contribute to the development of a sense of entitlement.
Entitled B*tch Wants My Parking Spot
So, A few decades ago, I went from 70 to 0 too fast one night and ended up in the hospital with a pen in my teeth signing a form on a clipboard held over my head that they could cut off both of my hands and my right leg because they were all so mangled that there was a less than 50% chance of them being saved.
18 hours of surgery and I woke up with everything I went in there with (and a few extra metal parts to boot) but it took years and a couple of dedicated physical therapists (whom I lovingly refer to as "Helga and Ursula the Bitch-Goddesses") for me to be able to walk and use my reconstructed hands.
I've had 4 follow up surgeries since then and I can now walk without a limp but it's still difficult to walk very far without pain so I have a handicapped placard on my car. I found out real quick that there's an attitude among handicapped placard owners. They all seem to think that they're more deserving than you of the spot that you just parked in. That plus FedEx drivers use them indiscriminately.
My first experience with FedEx was when I went to get my name registered on the sewer and water utilities for the house we just moved to. There was only one handicapped spot and a FedEx delivery truck was parked in it. So I parked sideways and blocked him in then hobbled my way into the building with my cane. (I was still in physical therapy then)
About 5 minutes later, I see the FedEx guy come up:
FedEx Guy: Who owns the Silver Infinity outside?
Me: That would be me
FedEx guy: You're blocking me in
Me: You parked in the handicapped spot
FedEx guy: I was only going to be there a few minutes
Me: Well now you're going to be there until I finish my business here.
FedEx guy: You can't do that!
Me: We can call the sheriff and see which one of us gets a ticket.
But the Entitled Bitch portion of the story happened a few years later. By then, I was able to walk without my cane and I had encountered more than one of these so I knew what was about to happen and I had prepared my response ahead of time.
I had just parked and gotten out of my car and was walking into Wally World when I see the Cadillac moving slowly by with the window rolling down and the EB about to lay out her case on why she deserved my spot and I didn't.
EB: What's your problem?
Me: Excuse me?
EB: You don't look like you're handicapped.
Me: Thank you! I've worked really hard to be able to walk without a limp
EB: I don't think you're really handicapped.
Me: You could have stopped talking after the first three words of that last sentence and been entirely correct.
EB: So what's wrong with you?
Me: *sigh* If you must know, I lost my foot in an accident.
EB: Really? How did that happen?
Me: I broke it off in some nosey bitch's ass!
Weird Mother On My Flight
"Weird mother on my flight,
I was returning back to Istanbul, watching my predownloaded stuff on Netflix. There was a mother next to me with a probably 4-5 year old kid. At first everything was fine; she was distracting her kid with her phone, I was watching the season 4 of rick and morty, then her battery ran out.
She gave her kid some toy but after a while kid started crying. I had a powerbank with me and before my battery got to %20, I plugged mine in.
After a while she asked me for my powerbank, but I needed it for my phone. She said
"Im an adult and you MUST respect you adults, hand it to me"
She suddenly turned into a b****.
I kindly said I needed it for my phone and pointed a power outlet and said you can use this one.
I re opened Netflix and watched the season I downloaded before being onboard. She called a personnel and said that my flight mode wasnt on and I was using Cellular.
I showed the downloaded logo and my flight mode and this dumb mother gave up.
Then the personnel showed the same outlet I showed to the ****** sitting next to me and her face was priceless.
Good thing it wasnt a big problem, the flight went mostly peaceful and calm"
Not that it makes a difference, but wonder how old OP was to get the respect adults bit.
Customer Karen
"Furthermore, having a high status in society" and being told you "possessed a rare skill (creativity)" could also lead to higher entitlement. Also, one study found that "children whose parents overvalued them reported higher levels of narcissism, of which entitlement is one component."
"Thus, it seems that one reason that people may become more entitled is that they have received a message (from the media, society, an organization, or their parents) that there is something special, valuable, or worthy about them," the professor said.
Mind Your Goddamn Business Karen!
Karen Want To Get Rid Of Her Fiancé's 5 Years Old Kid
No you're right you're not a bad person at all... you're the f*****g worst piece of s**t there is on this planet. You're not even human you're below pond scum. I wish there was an update of someone that sent this to your fiance' I hope he drops you like a bad habit. I hope this makes it to your inner circle, your job and anything else you'll never live down. I also hope he takes HIS son and lives happily ever with a woman who will love BOTH of HIS children as he takes this to court to get sole custody of his son and you aren't allowed anything but child support payments to HIM. So gross.
Karen Has Been Around Since At Least The 1900’s
Zitek found in her research that entitled individuals "are more selfish, follow instructions less often, are more likely to think things that are unpleasant for them are unfair, get angry about bad luck, and are less likely to comply with the health guidelines of the pandemic. But on the flip side, people who feel entitled can also be more creative and better at getting what they want in negotiations."
Those who ever had to stumble across a person demanding special treatment will tell you that interacting with them can be challenging. "People who have to interact with entitled others report lower well-being and burnout," the professor mentioned. If you ever find yourself in such a situation, you "should remember that this person’s claims are not based on merit and that if [you] reject this person’s request, the person will likely get angry/upset."
"However, in one of my papers, we argue that just giving in also isn’t a good solution because it could lead to more entitlement later," Zitek said.
"Obey"
"She does not obey me" ??? This person doesn't even comprehend reality.
I'm hoping that maybe English is not their primary language and maybe they do not understand that the word "obey" makes them sound entitled and scary.

To be fair this looks like a non native English speaker trying to find the right words and missing the mark slightly more than someone intentionally being a d**k. They probably meant "they don't listen to me."
Trying to dictate what time his neighbor takes a shower still makes him a d**k though

The complaining person should move, go live under a rock so other humans have to put up with this nonsense.
This is just like my f*****g neighbour. I OWN the apartment I live in. He rents the one next to me. He has had the audacity to knock on my door and asking me if I was "r******d" to take a shower after 10 PM. I kindly explained to him that as I worked til 11 PM, I had to take a shower after I arrived home. He demanded I shower either before 10 PM or after 6 AM. I recorded the whole debate with my celllphone and went with the video straight to the police, plus I contacted his landlady. He was not happy for a long time after that.
Wow, to be inconvenienced for 10 whole minutes...It's not like she's playing loud music at 2 am.
Although if my neighbor tried to tell me when I could take a shower I might start...

This person probably just learned English, I may be wrong, but people who doesn't know how English speakers talk, she just may not mean "obey" I can relate, I too am not the best English speaker out there, I find it difficult, my English vocabulary is not great.
We who have English as our first language should think of that first before immediately making fun of someone. I apologize for our country. I thought maybe she was dictating and using a voice app and this was computer generated so I didn't really give it too much thought.

In Germany, where you're not allowed to do this in apartment complexes due to noise laws, this tweet would be taken entirely differently. I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it is.
Wow! I never knew this. I am astonished tbh. It seems quite restrictive.

"What do I do with it?" I know. Take your complaint, for it 4 times, and place it as far up your own ass as you can get it.
Mind your business and put in ear plugs. Also stop bugging the hell out of your neighbor. She does NOT have to obey you your hiney!!!
Was this posted by an incel? Or just a misogynistic piece of s**t, incel or not?
You should look for another place to live where adults obey your every wish.
Your neighbor doesn't have to obey you because you are not her parents.
I always hear a lot about most American (I'll assume US here) apartment buildings... you'd hear the phrase "the walls here are thin, you can hear everything"... Why are you building houses like that? I have lived in a lot of apartment complexes and unless someone is playing loud music, you'd never tell there was someone on the other side of the wall
Does not "obey" me? On another note, I actually find the sound of water running to be soothing as I'm trying to sleep. Not sure why the shower disturbs this person's peace, unless the woman is a bad shower singer :P
I'll tell you what to do: stop thinking you're above people and deal with it
Where in the hell do these morons come from??? Who raises a person who thinks like this?
Thank goodness she doesn't live in the same house. Being a neighbour would be bad enough.
Sounds like one of my old neighbors. She complained when I took a shower at midnight because my bathroom was right next to her bedroom and the sound of the running water woke her up. When I told her that I rarely shower so late unless my asthma acts up, she still told me to not do that again or she'd file a complaint. It wasn't like I was singing or making any noises!
If you want silence and the absence of water, move to the moon. Everyone involved would be happier.
I prefer to shower before bed. It's a habit from living in the tropics. You want to wash off the sweat of the day before laying down, and it relaxes you for sleep. I actually shower twice daily though, but that's because my commute is 13 miles on my bicycle each way. Don't want to stink at the office all day
I think the op might have ASD. This is not dissimilar to phrases I hear from children with autism. Like 'why is that child allowed to laugh loudly, it is against my rules' . My uncle, who grew up long before ASD was recognised, made himself sick over a neighbor hanging out washing at a time he considered wrong (not shared garden). I'm not suggesting op's neighbor should have to change, but we here might be a little more charitable
I live next to an apartment building and whenever is someone's birthday I have to listen to their music when I'm trying to sleep. How noisy can a shower be? Even if it is somewhat noisy, how long does she shower? Nothing compared to what I have to deal with.
Shortly before 9 pm fill a bucket with water. Promptly at 9 insert your head in the bucket. The water will block the sound waves of the shower. Remove head at 11 pm. Repeat as necessary.
So many things she could do. She could listen to music/TV she could read a book/magazine. She could get noise canceling headphones. She could go to sleep, or move. But it would probably be best if she just stopped breathing.
Maybe stop sitting in your neighbours bathroom whilst she's showering.
You could jump off a cliff and make a loud splash. That will teach them.
How about you pay your neighbor not to use it. Then you have some say. Psycho.
What you should do is move into a cave or under a bridge, you troll.
I would make them a gift of ear plugs, with a note explaining that I will shower whenever I choose to do so, and will expect them to do the same.
Sometimes these are from non native English speakers and their word choice is jaring to native speakers. " what do I do with it?" Doesn't seem like a phrase a native English speaker would use in this context.
I had a downstairs neighbor ask me to please not put my boots on in the morning until I was going out the door. He had a late shift and me walking around in my boots was waking him up in the middle of his night. Easy enough once I knew he was losing sleep. I just put the boots on 3 steps from the door rather than before I made breakfast.
honestly just makes me think of this audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYVu_1VPzBc (not sure where to find the full original audio/song, if anyone knows please tell me.)
Move somewhere else. A deserted island in the south Pacific seems good...

How loud is this shower that it takes away your peace through your neighbors wall? 🧐
If I was the neighbor I would just leave the shower on all day just to be spiteful
You-You guys don't live together, right? How in the world could you make them "obey" you if they arent under your roof??
Have you considered wearing a taser belt and when you have these thoughts, shocking your genitals to an angry pudding?
This is like how so many older men, especially in my city, speak of women. "Obey me"? Like, wtf dude!?
My Sister In Law...
You're Closed? But I Forced Open The Door...
This happens way too often. We usually turn off the automatic doors around a minute or two before we close, but it doesn't get locked until exactly 8(or whenever we are closing), we have had numerous people push the doors open at 8 and look like a deer in the headlights when we say we are closed.
Imagine being so entitled that you force one of the doors open and are surprised when you are kicked out.
I experienced the same idiots more than a few times, but my absolute favorite went above and beyond. It was exactly 9 pm and my boss locked the automatic doors but didn't pull down the security gate. Next thing we knew, some wench starting pounding on the doors and when that didn't get the result she wanted, she started to try and pry them open (by now we had told her we were closed). When THAT didn't work, she used her body as a battering ram and actually pushed one of the doors off it's track, followed by her SQUEEZING herself through the gap. She still didn't get her way when my boss told her we wouldn't sell her the cigarettes she so desperately needed and forced her to cram herself back through the gap because we couldn't get the damned door back on track and we certainly weren't going to let her use the door at the back of the store. She was entitled as hell, and making her emberass herself to exit the store made my month. We never saw her again, but I'll cherish that memory.
Elizabeth Overstreet, a relationship expert, added that often when someone is entitled, "they are typically unhappy or feeling some inadequacy with themselves. It’s important that you provide boundaries with them. Treat them the same as others. You may even feel some compassion for them too."
"Often, people who are entitled are not the happiest and even at times are insecure. While you shouldn’t allow their entitlement to rub off on you, you can show them by setting boundaries with them and treating everyone equally. In doing so, you could be shining a light on how their behavior is actually not the right way to do things," she said and added you could also be showing them healthier ways to treat others. "However, realize it’s not on you to fix or alter who they are as a person."
A Kid On A Plane
The story happened this week on an international flight. The layout of the plane was 3+3 seat rows, and sitting in front of me was a family of mom, dad and a 4-5 year old son on the middle. Our flight got delayed a good deal so the kid was probably already bored out of his mind. Right after boarding the boy takes out the seat table and starts bashing it repeatedly like he's tryna to smack the devil out of it. After 10+ hits the dad asks him to stop as the person in front of them was getting visibly frustrated.
Dad: Stop now, you'll break it and the angry man will come take you
Mom: I don't care what they say, it's a child and if they have a problem with this they should get up and relocate!
As soon as I've heard it I was furious and low key spent the rest of the flight hating on her. There were no vacant seats on the plane, the consistent seating is important due to covid rules, and, most importantly, what traits is she trying to bring up in her son?
Something That Happened To My Mother Yesterday At A Qt
Entitled, Spoiled Sister-In-Law Takes Her Cats To The Pound And Allows Them To Be Euthanized
I posted a story about my ex sister-in-law and felt like this spoke more to the type of person she is on the inside.
She and her cousin got two cats and brought them home, made sure they were fed, and that was the end of it. They never played with the cats and even changed their names after a couple months because they were just so fickle and indifferent about the pets they chose to adopt.
One day, they got sick of the cats that were super antisocial because they never received any type of attention but negative because SIL and her cuz were so fed up with the situation. So they took the cats to the pound. They were warned that the animals would be euthanized if they weren’t adopted after 30 days and to come back and get them if they didn’t want that to happen.
The date came and went, and these two grown adults (one in her 30’s) “forgot” and let their cats be put down. I learned of this after the fact because they were so ashamed they swore their family to secrecy, but the tea was spilled anyway. Pretty horrifying.

I also work near a funeral home. You STOP for a funeral out of respect for the family of the deceased. You do not jockey for position because everyone is stopped. You sit and respectfully wait for the last car to pass and then you go. If it causes you to have to wait an extra minute to make that left turn after, then wait and just be glad that you're not in the funeral line or worse yet the hearse.
