50 People With Main Character Syndrome Who Got Called Out And Shamed Online (New Pics)
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.

Is This Person Ransom From Knives Out
Do not give him anything As you said where was he. He took trips, you didn't . Doctors visits do not count as trips. Tell your Relatives they can leave him something in their wills
Your Grandpa made a will for good reasons, Tell them you're respecting his wishes.
I'd reply with a 'You can have £1000 for every time your make Grampa dinner, took him to hospital, bathed him, sent a letter or a birthday card."
😂😂😂add it up n Oo look a grand total of MINUS half a mil now cough up n watch him run for the hills never to be seen again lol
Load More Replies...Tell the rest of the family to f*ck off. Where's he been since he was 18? Not helping to take care of Grandpa, that's for sure. Do not give him a single cent. Let him take you to court. Then you can have it on public record that he is a greedy, sniveling cowardly weasel who never thought of anyone but himself.
Fight back to those relatives with a detailed list of what you did for your grandfather. And be sure to mention that while this was happening your brother was living it up. Then block every naysayer. You said your piece, now let them deal with your brother. They'll get it soon or later, but you're done with them. Also gather as much of the paperwork concerning your grandfather as possible. If your brother tries to take you to court, you'll have all the evidence. He won't have squat. Make sure your home is secure.
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?
Scratching Your Name Into Edinburgh Castle
Yes, I told the kid off and he went back to scratching. We informed the staff who called security.
scratching your name into history doesn't make you apart of it

She Wanted To Get A Free Meal
In here you need a valid receipt to get any kind of money back or replacement product. It's nice and easy when everyone knows no sobstory works. And when returning non-working object you need the broken object along with the receipt.
Once time in the late 90s, I bought a scanner for my boyfriend (now husband) and when we hooked it up to his computer, we couldn't get it to work. So we called customer support and they told me that it wasn't compatible with the version of Windows he had (which was the most recent version). Since they refused to make it right, we took it to wherever I had bought it from. But we'd thrown away the packaging. I had the receipt but they wouldn't take it back without the packaging. So I bought a new scanner, same model and everything), switched out the not working scanner with the new one, and then returned the broken one in the new one's packaging for a refund. The new one worked immediately after installing the drivers. In this way, I forced capitalism to not screw me over. I really hope no one got the one that wasn't working though.
I worked for AutoZone. I can't tell you how many people came in with their Autocraft (Advance Auto) battery with the receipt in their hand clearly showing Advance Auto refusing to accept the fact tat AutoZone sells Duralast batteries. "Well I know I bought it here." was always ALWAYS their declaration. The building AZ was in was built just for AZ, no building had ever been there before and Advance had always been a block down the street. Sometimes even other customers would get in on the argument and tell them they were wrong.
Does this happen a lot in North America? It seems like every other day I read a post about a customer yelling at the staff in the incorrect shop.
She was trying to scam, she knew it was a Home Depot receipt, and she knew she was in a Dunkin Donuts. She just hoped to get food without ever showing them the receipt.
Load More Replies...I used to work retail, shoe department in a large department store. The number of times people would try to bring back clearly worn (sometimes worn out) shoes, claiming they “just bought them last week” and wanting a cash refund without a receipt — it was crazy. The policy was no refund without receipt, and the refund would only be to a credit card or store credit, no cash. So many of the questionable people took their skanky shoes and left, probably looking for a different store to scam.
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.
Entitled Mom Tried To “Reserve” The Baby Name I’ve Had Picked Since I Was 12
Think back to the days, when people had large families with abt 10 cousins sharing Mary/ John /etc. can’t really imagine my ancestors in rural Ireland circa 1905 having this level of drama or a gender reveal.. can you imagine!
In parts of Ireland and Scotland, it was traditional for the first boy to be named after the paternal grandfather, and the first girl after the maternal grandmother. The second girl was named after the paternal grandmother, and the second boy after the maternal grandfather. At family gatherings there would be so many Marys, Johns, Roberts, Jeans, etc. You would be pretty much sure you, or a sibling, would share a name with a cousin.
Load More Replies...what do you mean "let her have it"? no one owns a name and who cares if cousins have the same name?
The children will be 2nd cousins, so who the bleep cares!
Load More Replies...At one time in my mother's ancestry there were 43 living men and boys names James.
Never tell others about the name, some even went the way of spreading the wrong name, just to see the "friend" steal the name....
America doesn't have gunfights. Gunfights are fair fights fought between brave, if violent, people. America has gun violence, where one person pulls and fires a gun at other people (or themselves) before they have to time to leave the school, church, or supermarket.
Load More Replies...Two of my cousins have the same name, they each ended up with a nickname that they chose to use, no one cares that they have the same name, nt even them, it's not exactly uncommon (though not their real name, think along the lines of both being called Emily, and one goes by Ellie and the other Millie).
In Rome, they were litterally named, Junior, Secondundus, Tertia, Octavian means 8th. Read Stardust.
Yes, that's why people want to use it. Maybe pick something like Hildagard if you don't want to share a name.
Load More Replies...My son and his best friend had the same name, and there was often another kid with that name on the playground as well, even if it wasn't that much of a popular name. It was never a problem. Why would it be? There will be enough other people carrying the same, or at least a very similar sounding, name anyway. Both older and younger. There's, what? 8 million people by now? Very little chance of your baby's name being really unique.
That was a rather popular name where I'm from, 15-20 years ago. Eliana or Eliane (French, silent E)
Interesting - I never knew the language had a silent E ( never learnt French)

In certain states of the US, it is legal to shoot someone who, whatever their intention, enters your property.
Legal or not (and I'm not saying it isn't), walking into someone's house unannounced is still a good way to get shot.
Load More Replies...I hope OP later said to the police: "It's fine. It's my neighbour that I am murdering. It's okay". Because apparently saying "It's okay" makes anything okay?
If you were asleep and woke up to a stranger wandering into your home, and your first thought was "oh, it's probably my neighbor being a weirdo", you've obviously never been the victim of a crime, traumatically assaulted, fought in the military...

The Main Character
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.
I'm not starting anybody's order before everyone in line in front of them is taken care of first. They can wait their turn like everyone else.
Load More Replies...my barista is already starting typing my order when she sees me and smiles when I start with my " extra large, lactose free, salted caramel, iced macchiato to go" spiel. But I recite it everytime, because a) she doesn't have to remember b)once in a while I take a different flavour or extra shot. now...if she asked if I wanted my usual, that would be different
I'm really absent-minded, so I'm grateful that the barista at the coffee shop is nice when I forget to specify "dark" or "medium" roast.
Load More Replies...An article I read once detailed what it took to be a regular (in that case a bar). It takes more than just showing up every day. You have to make the interaction memorable for the employee; chatting with them and tipping more than the obligatory amount, every time you visit. If they are not looking forward to seeing you then they are either dreading your visit or not thinking about you whatsoever beyond that interaction. Being a "regular" is earned.
We have regular customers that come in for shopping at set times and expect things like certain associates or motor carts and seem bothered when we try to explain that each day is not the same and that we cannot cater to their needs just because they have nothing better to do than be a regular.
I would just ring them up for a random drink. Their "usual" would be whatever I felt like giving them that day.
Maybe it's because I'm friendly and polite, but the places I frequent always seem to remember my order. When I walk in to Chipotle they know what I want - especially the lovely young manager. She's so sweet. It was the same when I used to go to Starbucks. Being nice can make life pleasant for you. Too bad more people don't realize that.
Totally different situation, but years ago my mother was a waitress at a restaurant in a hotel. There were a lot of regulars who were there every day. She actually did know their orders (including alcoholic drinks) and put the order in for them as they walked in, bringing their drink with her as she went to their table. Now and then they'd want something different, but not often enough it was a problem. Amazing woman, my mother.
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.
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."
On Speakerphone With Multiple People For About 30 Minutes In A Small Quiet Doctor's Office
There’s literally no other noise other than from the receptionist.
"There's this wonderful invention called headphones, ever heard of them?"
Yeah but they don’t mute the person speaking do they lol
Load More Replies...In this situation I think it's perfectly okay to eavesdrop and loudly comment on the conversation.
I F**ING hate these people! They're everywhere, on the bus, the train, stores, yeah in the doctor's office too, while the doctor or staff is trying to work with them
Right! Like, I get there are situations where you HAVE to make a phone call, maybe it's work related, maybe it's a family thing, that's all well and good but it is not required to put it on speaker phone and talk as loud as possible. Irritates me so much!
Load More Replies...It already is acceptable behavior. When you make your private conversations public, the public is now free to join in
Load More Replies...Just start joining in the conversation. I've done this a few times and they're always stunned. They tend to get annoyed when you continue to do it but if they say anything just say "we'll you clearly want everyone to hear your conversation so I figured you might want our input too!"
Woman Sitting Next To Me On The Plane Stole My Complimentary Chocolate While I Was Asleep…
It’s not a big deal, but sometimes I just hate people… BE FAIR.
And if that's a red Lindt mighty ball of gooeyness I'd k**l her. Those things are delicious!
Fun fact, the trick for the Lindt Lindor gooey insides is just a f*ckton of palm oil. They were among the first western companies (after Ferrero, from whom they copied the process) to start using it in confectionery to replace butter, that is not shelf stable, taking advantage of the widespread availability and general cheapness of the material after Indonesian dictator Suharto ramped up production in the island at the cost of immense human suffering and environmental damage. Lindt moved to sustainable and certified sources only in 2011 (Ferrero did in the early 2000s).
Load More Replies...I would've taken it back. I do not give a single f. "That chocolate is mine, you know that, right?" If she refuses to hand it over, I would've taken it from her and ate it
It's not complimentary your ticket included ONE. This was theft. Stop sugar-coating these *ssholes' behavior.
This one's funny coz if it happened to me I would be seriously doubting whether i ate it and forgot about it (my memory sucks bälls) or whether the other person took it. And of course, it would feel awkward to ask coz even if i thought i was 100% sure i didn't eat it, if she had to say that she didn't, i'd have no argument :)
Ask the flight attendant for another one, tell he yours was stolen by thiefs.
Discretely ask for another chocolate, unwrap it, and slip it on her seat just as she sits down.
These People Are Sitting Next To Me, Across From Their Bags
There are other people standing up with no seats. They’re not saving them, someone already asked.
I'm not terribly assertive but even I would lift them off the seat and put them in front of the owners.
Yeah, I'd do the same. If I'm tired or stressed and people act like this, IDGAF. I'll move your s**t if you won't..
Load More Replies...Call security - unattended bags could be a suspect package. I am sure the bags would be moved rather sharpish once security turned up to check them!
The way I would be throwing that s**t on the ground and sitting down out of spite.
Call security and tell them there "unattended bags". In an airport, that will get a very fast response.
is it just me or are there a lot of free seats? just because someone is standing doesn't mean they want to be sitting
There are but this pic could be from before or after the area filled up.
Load More Replies...On the train I've given people the chance to pick up their d**n bags before I sit on them. I don't ask, I just don't hesitate long to sit on any empty seat if someone thinks their bag should occupy it instead of a person. It's not too much to ask to keep your bag or packpack on your bloody lap.
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
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.
1/10 people would not recommend.
It's illegal in Australia anywhere indoors. And some places outdoors like railway stations.
It's illegal indoors pretty much everywhere but idiots don't care
Load More Replies..."But its just vapor! Its not smoking!" Wa-wa. Little babies gotta suck on their pacifiers
Vaping is apparently more addictive than smoking cigarettes. When my daughter was going to High School, she said the teachers had to monitor washroom passes because students were making excuses to leave just to vape. They couldn't wait until a free period or lunch. I know smokers who can wait hours. Some smokers only smoke once a day or once a week, or less. But vapers can't wait until they're off the bus, or to step outside.
Main problem is that you get used to being able to use it indoors, so it becomes almost muscle memory to do it constantly. As opposed to the people who build their vapes to put off as much visible vapor as possible, you can basically kit these things to put off no (visible) vapor and to have no scent, so it becomes even easier to sneak a puff in public, let alone in your home where you don't have to hide it. Because of this you're generally taking in more nicotine than you would from smoking because you have it ALL the time. Compounding on this is that people tend to buy eliquids with ridiculously high concentrations of nicotine, so even if they did vape at the same pace they smoked, they'd be taking in more nicotine. One of the few benefits smoking has over vaping is, ironically, that the tar hurts your lungs and causes breathing difficulties even when used in moderation. Vapes don't have that pain/difficulty, even from more frequent use, so there's really nothing stopping you.
Load More Replies...What the actual heck? THATS WHAT YOURE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MOST LIKELY
I'm a serial vapist and even I don't do this. I enter a building of any description it goes in my pocket or bag until I leave.
I would start coughing and not stop until after they stopped or left. The hospital employees should have told them to stop.
He Called Me Heartless For Not Giving Up My Vacation Days So He Could Go On A Cruise

Load More Replies...If he's out of PTO, that's on him for using it all. Also, I didn't know PTO was transferable. Never where I've worked.
My company in USA allows it. Even well ask for it to help someone in an emergency.
Load More Replies...I have never worked in a place that allowed employees to give away/share earned PTO. What businesses do this?
Offer him a deal. Give him this week of PTO, he works TWO weeks of PTO for you. Get it in writing, bring it to HR, have them sign off on it. Either way, you win! (In these situations, It's hard just to say no. Better to offer a compromise that benefits you so much that the OTHER person has to say no.)
Missed Connecting Flight Because Entitled People Thought “All Bags Must Be Checked” Didn’t Apply To Them
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.
And those flight attendants are not getting paid for all the trouble and time wasted.
Delta Pays them from 20 minuted before boarding, until 10 min after everyoneis off the plane. The only major airline (also the only one not unionized. For some reason the workers there through their own arbitration system, got a better deal with better overtime, better hourly pay, and pay for the whole time, than all the Unionized airlines with their huge negotiation and legal teams.) to pay for that time
Load More Replies...If a passenger knowingly breaks a rule that causes other people major inconvenience and the flight company expenses for delayed flights, they should have to pay a hefty fine. Why should others be out of pocket due to their entitlement.
Why did the attendants allow the offenders to board? They should have been told to check their bag or forfeit their seat.
They should let legitimate non trouble people board first, then the plane leaves at the leaving time and if the troublemakers are left behind, tough s**t. Everybody else shouldn't suffer because of somebody's inability to understand the rules.
If some of the posts on this listicle make you feel seen and called out, you might struggle with a sense of entitlement. Maybe you don't care (and we understand why) but if it bothers you, here's some advice...
Firstly, check yourself; know that it is possible to change. But only if you want to. The golden rule, according to the WebMD site, is to treat others the way you want to be treated. "Practicing gratitude and humility can help you become more responsible and considerate," notes the site.
Graffiti Along Popular Hike
Just went on a quick hike that I found somewhat close to me. Still had a great time and the water in the river is nice and clear but the graffiti on all the natural areas is a bummer to see.
Here's a modest proposal. That one rock should be used to make people aware of how bludgeoning works.
I've always wondered who would hike with spray paint ... and why do this!
Let me guess. You don't have any clue at all about all of the reasons that''s a stupid post?

My daughter and her friend were playing pickleball when these Karens showed up and kicked them off because they had an “appointment”. This is a public city park court, by the way, and you can’t make reservations. My daughter begged me not to say anything.

When you say nothing, you are ensuring this behavior continues. Shame them publicly. They'll learn eventually.
Reminds me of when I was in banking. Me and my crew were working on some time sensitive work and one of the execs threw us out of the room we had to work in because of the machinery involved with the work. Next day the security supervisor wants to know why the work isn't done. We told him. That exec gat a real a** chewing. Especially because what he wanted the room for could've been done another day and/or in another room.
The Absolute Audacity
I helped 2 different friends with loans to pay rent. Apparently I developed a case of leprosy immediately afterwards because they totally avoided me from that time on.
This happens frequently. Don't "lend", give if you want but don't lend!t
Load More Replies...Nails and trips are not financial emergencies. Healthcare, food, basic utilities, shelter, transportation to get to work or hospital, those are different.
Yeah at least leave the "pay me back" string attached :) Edit: I was taught to not loan more than you can afford to lose, just in case. If they pay me back, great. I'f they can't afford to but still wanna hang out, awesome! If you avoid me from then on, it was a cheap lesson learned.
So true and yes that is exactly how I loan money too
Load More Replies...The nail and weekend trip and probably other non-essentials is the why they can't cover rent.
Wow. I'd be thanking my lucky stars I had a friend like you to help me out. I would not expect you to help me out with anything and would probably ask you if it's okay if it takes me awhile to pay you back. Folks, if someone steps up and helps you pay rent or something, that is them doing you a favor because THEY WANT TO DO IT. It does not give you the right to tell them or to hint to them that they should help you with other things. Pay that friend back, unless they specifically tell you not to do so.
You should definitely be rethinking the friendship! Those people are not your friends, they are users and nobody needs them in their life!
OMG. This sounds like my sister. Yeah, I had a great job and made a good living. Not my fault you spent your rent money on expensive Vodka and coca*ne.
It's also important to understand and recognize that life is not always fair. "If you’re in a situation you think is unfair, pause for a minute and think about the greater good," advises WebMD. "Is it right that because you’re paying tuition you must get a good grade? Consider how the world would look if no one else had to work for their grades."

The next nugget of advice ties in with the golden rule, and it goes a little something like this: R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
"Use respect and kindness when interacting with others," advises WebMD. "Everyone is a human being with feelings and struggles of their own. Go easy on others. Be sympathetic to their needs."
And finally, just as others aren't perfect, neither are you. Learn from your f-ups. "Treat failure as a learning tool," the site suggests. "Failing isn’t the end of the world. Mistakes that were made can be corrected next time. Never stop learning, and look for value in failure."
Someone Threw A Brick Off An Overpass. I Was The Lucky Winner

People have been prosecuted for doing this. Not often enough unfortunately.
Think it's difficult to get hold of the perpetrators when you're the one who got hit. The other drivers on the road won't realize what happened until it got too late to catch/film anyone. Usually, the perpetrators only get caught because the bystanders felt guilty and eventually confessed, but then it's often the question who actually threw that brick, because they may be pointing fingers at eachother.
Load More Replies...Yup. It happened to us. No injuries thank goodness but it was quite scary. My comment is here somewhere

"I always wonder how people manage to logic themselves into a position like this.
They offered free berries, I want berries, i want all the berries, I’ll just take the whole bush…now they’re saying I can’t have the whole bush? That means they’re stealing from me? If they’re stealing, then I should call the cops because they won’t let me have MY bush!"
My grandkids and I grow a lot of veggies and I have fruit trees. We always have more than we can use so grandkids take them home, I share with my neighbours either side. I DO NOT offer any "pick your own". Everything all of us, 10 adults and 9 kids including neighbours, can't use, we donate to the local primary school and kindly.
That’s awesome! I’m cat sitting for a neighbor right now and they have huge raspberry bushes out front. The people I am cat sitting for told me to go ahead and pick some of the berries to take home with me, since they’ll go bad anyways. They are delicious, but I can’t imagine digging up the bush and taking it home, and taking advantage of a kind neighbor. Like, how does something as ridiculous as that go through peoples’ heads?!?!
Load More Replies...Never allow somebody to pick anything from your garden. They'll happily escalate it to full scale theft. My mother, a long time ago, said a neighbour could take some apples for her son. Fast forward a few weeks and she's stripping the tree to sell the apples at a boot sale. Needed to get the police and a solicitor involved to revoke any access to our property, and then she badmouthed us to everybody else and went full Karen on anything that was overhanging her fence, getting it hacked down by her son and then sending an inflated "bill" for the work done. Save yourself the headaches, just don't allow others to take stuff.
I recall an incident of a person whose neighbour had had set up a community pantry of some kind, and people were taking it as an invitation to steal from the person's vegetable garden. When said person asked that the community box be moved to the other side of the house to try and deter the thieving of their veggies, the neighbour reacted as if the neighbour wanted to destroy the community concept.
We live in a rural area. There was a box at the fire station where people donated food, TP, etc. Someone kept taking EVERYTHING as soon as the box was replenished. A camera was installed. It was the same people emptying it every time. Sadly, no more box.

Woman Kept Covering My Screen With Her Hair During A Flight
I saw a post on here about this. The woman ignored the requests to move her hair. The complainee decided to do something about it and wrapped her gum in the woman's hair. I thought it was appropriate. Also, this woman's hair is scraggly, it's not pretty or well cared for, yeah, do the gum thing.
These people are so obnoxious and they know what they're doing. Some lady with really long hair did this to me on the bus, but she purposely flipped her hair in my face and made it go over my legs. I was carrying coffee and she was getting it in her hair. I flipped her hair back in front of her and told her she was getting her hair in my coffee. She flipped her hair back in my face and said she didn't care. Umm..... okay.... I mean, I wasn't going to continue drinking that coffee after that, anyways.

The American insistence on getting a discount for serving (or being married to someone who serves) is completely weird to me. You mean, being able to fly round the world to kick the s**t out of countries poorer than you entitles you to 5% off a coffee? F**k that s**t.

It stems from the Vietnam War, a lot of their armed forces returned from there and received abuse from protestors despite the fact it was politicians who sent them there. In the years after the war the country kinda realised that they’d given them a bad rap. That has now meant the pendulum has swung a long way in the opposite direction. Whilst I believe that t anyone who serves or puts their lives at risk for their country deserves respect there’s a long line of medical staff, firefighters, police officers and a whole host of public servants who should have our respect and thanks.

Poor Employees Had 30 Minutes To Clean An Entire Room That Looked Like This
This was basically how the entire theater was looking, the poor employees had 30 minutes to clean the entire thing before another Minecraft movie started in that same room. The popcorn was stomped into the carpet in some spots, I can’t imagine they get paid enough for this.

Even if you accidentally overturn bucket of popcorn, you don't leave such a mess behind. This is intentional.
Yeah... I remember when the Pokémon Movie came out. Three instead of two shows in the afternoon. In the biggest cinema. Me and one other employee alone against hordes and hordes of the tagret group which all needed to have popcorn, but not for eating. And one single scrubber for cleaning up. In a carpeted cinema.

Lol 😆 nice rebuttal parking diagnol. I had an previous neighbor who would refuse to park on her half of driveway. 4 spots total. 2 to the right and 2 to the left. Downstairs to the right and upstairs to the left. Super simple so that nobody blocks the other in. Well this nightmare of an entitled female, had every person imaginable park directly in the middle. Or directly behind us. Could not, just could not, direct people where to park. She couldn't even direct them to her door! They were always knocking on mine. So after multiple attempts to keep peace and be nice the final straw was her saying -there is no assigned parking- so - fine. My husband and I parked side by side in the 2 spots closest to the street leaving the top 2 open and unreachable then waited. It was a stompfest of a lifetime over our heads when her family/friends/clients/whoever couldn't get in the driveway 😆. It didn't fix the problem but it was so sweet bc she couldn't say anything to me. I moved very shortly afte

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

I Work As A Cart Pusher And People That Do This Are Annoying. Put The Damn Cart In The Slot Its Suppost To Go In, How Lazy Can You Be
For the folks who say What's the big deal? I say I get my cart from the cart corral as a safety measure while walking through the parking lot into the store. 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
This is why most supermarkets in the UK require you to put a coin in to get the trolley. If you want the coin back, you have to return the trolley properly

Cb Bride Just Needs A Few Small Things For Her Wedding Next Month. Oh And Btw, Her Budget Ran Out

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

I Left A Towel At My Brother’s House. I Guess He Can Keep It Now
Well, to be honest, we reasonably often have guests coming over and ever so often they leave stuff behind.

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.)
Goodness me, that might just have been a mistake. Brother saw a towel, used it and didn't realise that it wasn't one of their own.
He must have realised at some point, otherwise he wouldn't know it was OP's when they asked for it back.
Load More Replies...That's reasonable, you don't want to use somebody else's towel and it's unlikely they will retrieve it. Just dispose of it or put it to some use. Hotels just throw away that stuff the moment you leave.
They throw away the little soaps & shampoos, but towels? Nope, those get washed & re-used. Aaaaaand now that I typed that I realize you probably meant if a guest leaves a personal towel behind, not that they throw away their own supply. In my defense I stayed up way too late, the dogs woke me up way too early, and I haven't finished my coffee yet. I'll leave this here anyway in case anyone else is as brain dead as I appear to be this morning...

It’s My Bday - I Will Accept Anything But Books

Trade Offer: I Get 3 Disney Tickets, You Get Dinner
Do cast members get sweet discounts at Disneyland? I'm gonna look that up. Yes, they do and more. Nothing a typical Disneyland goer could ever match, especially if they're begging for free tickets.
The perks are pretty good - free park hopper passes, 50% off hotel stays, 33% off food & merchandise (all subject to blackout periods, though). Source: my ex was an IT Director at a Disney company for 12 years.
Load More Replies...This one isn't too horrid, really. They're asking, not demanding, and while the "payment" is kind of sucky at least they offered *something* in exchange for the tickets. And they've got a point; Disney ticket prices are astronomical.
Jerk Parked So Close I Had To Crawl Over From The Passenger Side. Am I Crazy Or Was This Done On Purpose?
Had someone do this recently and when I asked security to get the driver he came out, called me fat and said that's why I couldn't get in and then laughed a bit, exclaimed that I'm angry then reluctantly moved his pickup. All the while I haven't said a word.
Someone did this to me once so I wrote a rude message on their windshield in lipstick. 😁
Check the parking on his own driver's side. Quite often you find this happens because someone else parked wonky and they're trying to avoid getting hit on that side too.

Man Lacks Self Awareness On An Astronomical Scale
Male, at least 39 years old, getting annoyed that a woman, aged 28, rejected him because of the age difference. At least that's how I read it...
Load More Replies..."I would never date someone older! How dare she to refuse me because I'm oder?"
Exactly what I thought! So he can have an age restriction but she can't?
Load More Replies...So how old exactly is this man? Also, isn't this exactly what the most recent Golden Bachelor had to say about the women his age as far as dating?
Half your age plus seven? What does that even mean? So a 90 year old can only date someone that's 52?
It's apparently a rule for a minimum age you should be dating, so for example a 40 y/o's lower limit is 27, meaning they can date older people but NOT 26 and lower. I personally pay it no mind, I think age shouldn't matter as long as it's legal and genuine love is involved, but a lot of people use it as a rule of thumb.

Infuriating and on top of that, cars behind them started honking.
To order that much food without prior, ample notice is diabolically evil. This looks like Tim Hortons food. It's not even that good, tbh. The "soft bread" is about as soft as it looks, and bland.
That's on the restaurant for not having proper limits on drive-through order volumes, or clear enforceable waiting procedures.
Not really.... most of the time there are procedures for this kinda stuff (my store has clearly marked areas to wait for drive-thru orders and stuff like that), and I think this restaurant told him to park in a spot, however this person won't go the place to wait where they are asking. definitely on the customer IMO.

This is why I have biohazard and chemical stickers on my lunch kit. I know whats in it, but will you chance it? If you saw No Time to Die. "Just where did that pathogen sample go?" It was clearly labelled..."
Didn't have this problem as I liked food way spicier than co-workers could handle. One asked to try some one day so I gave them a bit. They went home for the afternoon after they recovered :P
So how much food is one allowed to bring before it becomes "up for grabs"? Keeping the original container at work means they always have a snack available, without having to waste plastic bags or wash a reusable container every day.
Load More Replies...Nimby Person In My Neighborhood Is Upset That Their Neighbor Is Renovating
Someone in my neighborhood purchased a home that has been the rundown college house for years. Apparently, their neighbors are unhappy that the new owners are deciding to fix the place up and want to make sure we all know about it.
fun fact, in my country (CZ) there is a law that prohibits to two windows to face each other (within distance, and within reason, like laundry room window can be facing to dinner hall, but bedroom windows cant face another bedroom window within 7m)
Every window installed that looks into my home? They think highly of themselves, as if others would spend their time spying on the neighbors. Are they just upset that the house will be larger with less easement between homes? That is a pain but unless the building is over the property line, its not their concern.
Believe it or not, in some areas it can be illegal if you install windows which have a direct view into another person's home. Violation of privacy codes and can result in serious fines, and mandate from the city code enforcement to remove the window. They always err on the side of the home that wasn't having the modifications/renovations done to it.

Takes 2 minutes to bring it back down the elevator and out to the garage.
That's a fire code hazard and you need to notify your landlord. They are responsible to for keeping hallways clear in case of fire. Imagine trying to escape a smoke filled hallway and fall over one of these
A nice gesture ruined by people just generally being inconsiderate. They're not actually required to offer said carts, but it's genuinely appreciated when they do.

We are moving and have been downsizing for our new place. My wife has been putting items we don’t want on a table in front of our house for free. It’s been going great for a couple of weeks now. Yesterday we stepped out for an hour and came back to this…
I'm sorry I chuckled that's.. not funny at all. :) Edit: If you have a garage sale make sure to be specific LOL
Actually, it's hilarious, and yes, the fact that they weren't specific that the table was not included, is exactly why this happened.
Load More Replies...Gotta be careful with that sort of thing. It is not uncommon for people to leave furniture out on the curb (Well, it does seem this isn't straight at the curb, but they might not have understood why you'd bother putting something you're throwing out on a table) when they're getting rid of it. I probably wouldn't have taken the table out of uncertainty, but I actually get the confusion. Type of people who go around looking for furniture people are throwing out are too relieved that they finally found a table they can use to consider the note didn't mean the table was included.
if it looks like a duck... We were out one weekend yardsailing and stopped by this place where a woman was sitting out with stuff all over her front yard. We started looking through things and she just quietly watched us. We picked out a few items and asked her how much. "Oh, its not a yard sale, I'm moving"

This Passenger's Laptop Brightness On A Red Eye Flight Is Blinding Me
Clearly they can't sleep so perhaps you should bring an eye mask in future? It's a red-eye, but not everyone sleeps on a plane.
However, it's basic manners to be considerate of others. Even if you have a sleep mask, you can't really go to the bathroom with it on and I know from experience that it's hard to fall asleep with it on when there are people around. Plus, in a dimly lit place, that kind of light is annoying. When traveling at night, you have to be quiet for the sake of others and that also applies to the lights.

My neighbor, in her early 80s, who likes to throw water on kids’ chalk art, put this book in my mailbox. We keep to ourselves, and my kids are very respectful.

I am shocked by the number of people who are irritated by kids making any kind of noise. I don't have kids, don't want them, but there are plenty in my neighborhood and guess what, they make noise and play outside and ride dirt bikes and are loud. During the day. My neighbor across the street called the cops on the kids for being "too loud"! It's ridiculous. The kids aren't destroying anything and they're quiet after 8pm at the latest.

If he's a regular at Starbucks, have they really never spelled his name wrong? I have one of the most generic, common names ever, with the most common spelling. I've never had my name spelled right.

If I'm not going to run into the person in everyday situations, I just agree with whatever name they repeat and listen for them to call it.

FYI, quotation marks are used to note when something is being directly repeated accurately (we call it quoting), or being sarcastic. So, putting quotation marks around 'loyal' implies you are anything but. I doubt Starbucks will cry itself to sleep over your lost custom.

My Next-Door Neighbor Installed Fence Lights And “Hid” The Wires On Our Side
Never asked permission or even told us he was doing it. Generally has been a nice and considerate neighbor, so I wasn't expecting this at all.
He obviously doesn't want to see the wires, why would he think we would? Especially when we don't get the benefit of the lights? Ugh.
Whose fence is it? I'm assuming from context and its position that it's the neighbour's fence, so they can do what they want with it without needing 'permission'. Who's the entitled one here?
Yeah pretty much, the one paying for it gets the nice side of the fence, this one really isn't that deep
Load More Replies...Check the plat and property line before you do anything. Fences are, quite often, installed a foot or so to one side of the property line. Meaning, that might actually be their fence (if it's on their side of the property line. If it's on your side, call code enforcement about it. IF the fence is on the exact property line, then it's a shared fence, and you can't say or do anything about where they want to place the wires.
Here's the important question: Is the fence his, and on his land? If so, then you could always put up your own fence on your own land, and not look at his.
Hey, they're on your side. He doesn't want to move them? Take them down.
jjust cause its "their side", doesn't mean it's their fence.
