For every decent, kind and self-aware human being, it seems there is another who is quite the opposite. You know the ones we're referring to.

Always ready to jump the queue, strongly believe the rules don't apply to them, expect preferential treatment and demand the best freebies. They carry the shameless belief that the world owes them something.

"Do you know who I am?!" Yes, you are E-N-T-I-T-L-E-D...

This type of behavior has become so common that some would even argue that we are in the thick of an epidemic of selfishness. Entitlement doesn't always come with a flashy sign and neon lights. Sometimes it's subtle. Either way, we are surrounded by Karens and Kevins who are so out of touch with reality that the rest of us can't help but stop and stare. But while the internet has made it even easier for these individuals to broadcast their importance, it's also given us a platform to shame them for their despicable behavior. And that's exactly what we are about to do.

Bored Panda has put together a list of blatant acts of entitlement that people have had the displeasure of witnessing. From the hilariously clueless to the downright infuriating, many might give you a good reason to double-check your faith in humanity. We also look at what causes this crazy sense of entitlement in some people. You'll find that info between the images.

We are living in an age of entitlement. People parading their importance left, right and center. For all the world to see.

Whether they're jumping queues, demanding a seat at a restaurant without a reservation or going as far as asking, "Do you know who I am?!" (as if they've somehow forgotten their name), these Karens and Kevins believe they're better than everyone else. And they're convinced the the rest of humanity owes them something.

So why are some people able to be decent human beings while others live in a self-absorbed golden bubble, high up on a diamond pedestal?

    According to the experts, entitlement is a narcissistic personality trait. But this doesn't mean all entitled people are narcissists. In psychology, entitlement is referred to a “a personality trait characterized by pervasive feelings of deservingness, specialness, and exaggerated expectations.” And those with a sense of entitlement believe they deserve special treatment, certain privileges, or additional resources.

    "They typically believe that rules don’t apply to them. They think they deserve success, happiness, and respect without having to work for it and are often unwilling to acknowledge or appreciate the contributions of others," notes the Berkeley Well-Being Institute.

    And while they can define it, the experts can't always say exactly how this sense of self-importance develops. But there are a few factors that could be at play.

    For example, the environment you grew up in, the way your parents treated you, whether you solved your own problems or depended on adults to do it for you and how you were or are treated by those in charge.

    When I had just started working at Tim Hortons some of the regulars would say "I'll have my usual. Do you have it ready, yet?" as they came up to the counter. These people came in everyday, probably for years. I guess they thought part of my training was to memorize, from the start, all the regulars and their orders? After a short while it did get easier. We'd see them in line and their orders would be ready by the time they got to the counter. But sometimes they threw us in a loop and ordered something else, entirely, then get haughty towards us for bothering to make their same cuppa joe they have every day. Some people love their regulars. I had a hard time tolerating them.

    Sometimes childhood trauma can pivot a perfectly decent human being into a terribly self-absorbed person. This is because they turn to entitlement as a way to cope with their emotional pain. They might even truly believe that they deserve special treatment because of all the suffering they've endured.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    And when trauma wasn't involved, an entitled person could have their parents to blame for how they now treat others. "Children who are raised by overprotective or permissive parents may be more likely to develop a sense of entitlement," explains the Berkeley site. "This is because these parenting styles may lead children to believe that they are special and deserving of special treatment, even when they have not earned it."

    Sometimes a sense of entitlement develops because of where someone grew up. Mary who lived in a mansion is more likely to believe the rules don't apply to her than Shannon who struggled in a shack. It's a theory that's backed up by research.

    "Studies show that people who experienced higher socioeconomic status from childhood on are more prone to feelings of entitlement," explains the Berkeley site, adding that people who came from a lower socioeconomic background in childhood but became “upwardly mobile” express gratitude for assistance they may have received.

    Vaping In Hospital Waiting Room

    Two people sitting closely in a waiting room, ignoring social distancing rules in this infuriating photo showing lack of etiquette.

    I swear, people can't go five minutes without sucking on their damn vape. Like. You're in a hospital? Already a no smoking zone, why would your raspberry surprise ultra be any different?

    I'd say it's mild because it's only the three of us in here. But it's a public space. My grandparents used to smoke, but quit after my grandpa got lung cancer, and he was in here waiting earlier. And I have my own breathing issues. You just never really know what people are walking into the waiting room with. The least you could do is go outside or just wait and smoke later.

    Missed Connecting Flight Because Entitled People Thought “All Bags Must Be Checked” Didn’t Apply To Them

    Luggage blocking airplane aisle with a crew member standing nearby, showing disregard for rules and etiquette.

    I was on a flight and we were already delayed because the inbound flight had mechanical issues. The gate attendants announced multiple times that “all carry on’s like duffle bags and rolling luggage must be gate checked” everyone was allowed one carry on.
    I watched as multiple people pushed by the flight attendant and say “no, it’s not a checked bag” while getting on our (tiny) airplane (note multiple had the little red tag clearly dangling off their bag.
    Well, lo and behold, after the jetway was pulled back, the flight attendants carry 5 bags up to the front during a final safety check.
    So, then we have to wait for them to bring the jetway back to the plane so they can take the five large bags and stow them under the plane. Our already 30 minute delayed flight was delayed another 30 minutes. There were multiple people that missed connecting flights, including myself. Some people literally don’t believe any rules apply to them.
    Also, just as a side note, everyone should be nicer and more respectful to flight crews and gate agents.

    White box truck blocking driveway and sidewalk, illustrating lack of care about rules and etiquette in residential neighborhood.

    We got new neighbors who moved in about a month ago, apparently, they run some sort of moving business. This truck has been floating around my side of the street for a few weeks, and today it was parked blocking my entire driveway. No one was home at the neighbor's house to move it either. Luckily, I was working from home today and my wife has Mondays off, so we didn't need to go anywhere.

    It's currently 1030 p.m., and I need to leave the house at 430 a.m. for a site visit. I have no idea what to do if it's still there when I'm leaving.

    My bank has a coin counter. You don't wrap your coins anymore, you just pour them into the machine and it counts them. Hey, if the money they gave you isn't for the amount they borrowed you can let them know about it. It gives you a receipt.

    Neighbour Thinks I Should Be Ashamed And Embarassed Of Myself For Parking On The Street In Front Of Their Home

    Torn note left on car windshield criticizing disregard for rules and etiquette, highlighting frustration with selfish behavior.

    Ever since my mum left a note on my neighbour's car (around 4 weeks ago) asking if they could move it back as it was blocking our driveway, I've since started to get notes on my windscreen about parking on the street in front of their home.

    This is their 4th note, after I told them that I would continue to park based on availability, as it is a public space.

    There's limited parking in my street, so I sometimes need to park in front of their home. It all depends on availability, and I've been doing it for well over 6 months... So I don't know...

    The aggressive double-sided tape is what infuriates me the most. They've added more tape each time, and the messages have gotten more passive-aggressive (well, now it's more of a personal attack).

    I'm already having a rough month from burnout at work, and this was just the icing on the cake ahhhhhhhh.

If you have a hard time putting your cart in there, I also have a hard time getting one cart out of there. Suck it up. Nobody says you have to fix every thing, just don't be a d1ck and make it worse

    Found in the wedding shaming sub. Some of these are fine, like the extra plates and cutlery, but some of these items are so expensive that she's asking complete strangers to give her or let her "borrow". A Cricut is a crafting machine that costs a couple of hundred dollars, and chairs or a couch, sound equipment, a tent or a large umbrella, smoke and light machines, etc., aren't cheap either. Still, it's the "extra" unopened wine for me.

    Let My Uncle Borrow My Guitar, Had It Returned In This Condition

    Acoustic guitar with deep scratches and damage showing carelessness and disregard for rules and etiquette around instruments.

    So my uncle, who lives in another state, came to visit my town a couple of weeks ago, and was staying with my grandma. He loves to play guitar and didn’t bring his, so he asked if he could play mine while he was in town. I agreed and dropped it off there, and left it until today, after he went back home about a week and a half ago. My grandma returned it to me, and it looked like this. I immediately asked what happened to it, but she was just as shocked as I was and didn’t know, so I called my uncle. He also didn’t know, told me it didn’t look like that when he left it. I believe them, and I’m not too bothered about it, but I just wanna know what happened to it. I don’t even know what this stuff is.

    Well, to be honest, we reasonably often have guests coming over and ever so often they leave stuff behind. (We now have extra 4 umbrella's, some teddy bears, some swimming trousers, t-shirts, slippers, pens, socks, yes, and some towels.) It is hard to keep track of who left what behind and how long to safe it until they might return, or we might visit them. I have just started to use it, or throw it away, unless it's a really important item. (Like some of the teddy bears, a non-expensive watch with sentimental value, etc.)
