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!
This is exactly the reason why I sometimes still have to fake-limp to get out of harassment like that. SO many people don't believe you are handicapped unless they see "proof" of it
Same! Sometimes I hate myself for doing it, but my limp always gets worse near my car. Yes, I need the spot, and I've long gotten over any guilt or shame I had of thinking myself unworthy just because my issues are invisible, but I just don't want to deal with the drama.

I once heard the cop giving a ticket tell the entitled brat , "*It was only a few minutes* is NOT a handicap!"
The whole point of a placard is that you know if they are allowed in the disabled spot! What is the point of hassling people that do have them?
People "borrow" the placards sometimes. They use ones that weren't issued to them. I had a cousin claim he had "inherited" one from his Grandfather. But it was OK because he only used it if he was in a hurry and parking was tight. Yeah, not how it works.

Just try being a person who is disabled and also obese. Then the rude comments really start to fly.
Another one that's gotten me irate when I cared for someone in a wheelchair: people who aren't parking in the actual disabled space, but park in the adjacent area reserved for wheelchair access. That's one I've seen delivery drivers do a lot. Or people who decide to leave grocery carts in that spot.
I have heart issues, and while I am hoping things get better. for the moment, I have to use handicapped spots on bad days. I have had to endure a lot of dirty looks and comments, but I've gotten to the point that I just ignore them... the people giving the dirty looks are just not worth my consideration anymore.
Good on you! My mother is in Hart failure on her worst days she has to stay home, on her best days she can walk slowly on the flat if she takes brakes. I have been on and on at her to get a disabled sticker so she can have a little more independence, but she says she can't handle the looks people might give her because she gets out the car looking like she can walk. My dad has to drop her off and go find parking. Twice she has fallen because she was alone. So we'll done you for not letting the nasties stop you trying to get on.

Why is it people can discriminate against disability? It's hard enough that you have to live (period) and learn how to live in the world now you have people that think they can say anything because they think you are lower than them because of a disability 😡
What it is, is that they are vigilantes that think the handicap placard was obtained by "faking" it or that it was stolen. They all need to eff off.

Just because someone doesn't look handicapped doesn't mean that they are not. Most of my family doesn't look handicapped, but we can't walk long distances because we have bad knees and ankles.
This is why I constantly encouraged my ex to keep her cane with her even on her good days. People would get incredulous when she used the scooters at the grocery store because "she doesn't look disabled" or "she's just fat, she should be walking more". Anyone with EDS knows how much b******t that is. Hidden pain is bad enough without the world's judgement on top of it.
I ask for their cell number so my doctor can call them for their second opinion. Usually does the trick.
I can't count the number of times I've been accused of not being handicapped when parked in a handicapped spot.
I have a back injury that has ruined my life. I have a handicap placard because I'm lucky to get as far as the building from the parking spot. I drove my friend to the mall. She has a handicap son who is in a special wheelchair. We walked out of the mall and to the car one day. As she was wrestling her son into his car seat, I was wrestling with my oxygen tank while trying to fit his huge chair in the small trunk. With my back injury that makes it so I can stand for maybe two minutes. An older couple walked past us and very loudly started complaining about people misusing handicap placardsv when they don't even need them. I was pissed but I didn't say anything. I wish I had. Just because someone *looks* fine didn't mean they are.
I had a severe foot injury some years ago and was issued a handicapped placard. I had good days and bad days while I was in treatment and recovery. I only used it when absolutely necessary, like when I wasn't able to walk or I was in extreme pain. I was in a wheelchair for about 2 months. It really gave me some insight into what disabled people have to deal with in parking situations. Imagine driving around a parking lot and not being able to find a handicapped spot. Imagine being harassed because someone thinks you don't "look disabled." I've also known people who have a placard and use it as a convenience on days when they really don't need to. I once saw an entire family get out and go into the store to shop, and they left the 85 year old grandmother alone in the car, while parking with her placard.
I have pain, weakness and respiratory problems with my autoimmune disease..all my life. When I was 29 I got worse and my doctor gave me a placard. I needed a cane and many times, a walker. I used the wheelchair cart in the store. I got dirty looks and comments about playing on the wheelchair carts. People are so busy trying to be"heroes" for the disabled, that they insult the very people they claim to support. Not every disability is visiting.
i get this. i walk but it is slow and painful. but, to others it must look like a casual stroll because i have been called out when parking in a handicap spot with the placard in full view
The problem is: I think there are a lot of handicapped placards being handed out to rich, old people for no reason at all. As far as I know, there is no oversight or penalities for abusing this. In rich neighborhoods, you'll see a lot higher percentage of people with placards than in poorer neighborhoods. This doesn't in itself mean anything but there sure are a lot of people in these neighborhoods who seem perfectly able-bodied but just old.
I don't even go out much anymore because I can barely walk, but I don't want to be treated like c**p in a parking lot by entitled assholes who think they have the right to gripe at total strangers because they are in a handicapped parking spot. Ergo - I won't have a sticker. I just have to drive around until I can find a relatively close spot so that I'm not in too much pain by the time I get in the store.
I have one of those permanent injuries you can't see. When I was in my late 30s I had about 500 lbs of of steel fall on my head. I had 3 discs removed from my neck with the addition of a plate 5 screws and a a cage (looks like a bolt with holes that the bone grows thru) . Over the course of 20 years I now have 8 more herniated discs. Some inoperable other I just refuse to have removed because I don't want any more sp8na fusion. On good days I don't limp but that changes the further I walk. I have been told by countless people that that handicapped space is for people with a handicap. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to hit someone over the head with my cane because at the time I walk into the store I'm not limping but I will be when I walk out. Do people think the dmv gives those placards away for the asking? I had to have a surgeon fill out forms to get mine. Just because an injury isn't obvious doesn't mean it's not there. I'd trade that placard now for a life without pain
Yikes, this hits close to home. With multiple injuries, chronic illness, weak immune system, and arthritis since I was fifteen, I can’t stand very long before crippling pain begins to take over. I carry a break-down cane in my handbag for this very reason. However, anytime someone middle-aged or older sees me using it, I always get the same lecture: “You’re too young to need a cane!” F*ck you, try living with my pain 24/7 for fifteen years in what should be the prime of your life and then come talk to me
" You could have stopped talking after the first three words of that last sentence and been entirely correct." DANG
Great story. I use a plackard and I am handicapped.....so I just have to find another spot if the handi spot is taken and limp into the store.
I was 20 and temporarily handicapped (MVA). I got out of the car and someone immediately started yelling at me about abusing the handicapped spot. He quickly stopped when I gissed my crutches out.
Why does these people deserve an anser at all? Just keep on walking away from them?
I remember a lady I worked with whose doctor told her to lose weight to help her back problems. So he gave her a temporary handicapped placard so she wouldn't have to walk as far to her car. I can't even.
One that really bugs me is at school pickup. There are 2 disabled bays and one special needs bay. Two kids have wheelchairs all the time, another sometimes has a wheelchair sometimes a walking frame. While those using the bays are technically entitled, they never consider that the mother who most needs the space can't get one. Don't get me started on the ones who double park cos they can't be bothered walking over from the carpark!
Love the story however I'm more interested in the fact that wally world is a really place?! I thought it was just made up for the national lampoon's movie!
'Helga and Ursula the B***h-Godess' lol. Also: "What's wrong with you?"! Nothing. Nothing is WRONG with OP. They have no hands and only one leg. That is not WRONG. That is extremely unfortunate but it is not and never will be WRONG. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

To be hurtfully honest people in my country sometimes get their handicapped cards for nothing - I have a neighbor who has a special parking spot outside our apartments and yet he works night shifts as a ... security guard. He even told me that himself while scolding me for parking a bit too close to his car for his comfort (so he needs a 3-point maneuver to drive off this disabled space to be a night security guard), meh
That doesn't give anyone the right to make ableist assumptions.

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.

"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.
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.
