There are always people who think they deserve to get their own way. Like cutting in front of you at a coffee shop or demanding a table at a fully seated restaurant without a reservation. They imagine that the world owes them something without giving anything in return, or that the rules don't apply to them. Well, they do.

There's a special place for such individuals, a Reddit page called Entitled People. This online community is dedicated to shaming those who think they are better than everyone else. Members of this subreddit post stories you would not believe: demanding to enter a store even after closing time, complaining about the ambulance blocking their driveway, or asking to reschedule... the sun.

This time, Bored Panda has collected examples of people whose ego is just too big to be overlooked, so check them out below! And after you’re done, make sure to read our previous posts about entitled people here, here and right here.

Karen Doesn't Care About Your Cancer

Karen Doesn't Care About Your Cancer

MayuMayhem Report

As the moderators state, this subreddit is the place for "stories from your lives about people who think the rules don't apply to them and they should get what they want." It is a sister subreddit of a similar page called Entitled Parents, which is dedicated to sharing specific stories of moms and dads who think that having kids gives them the right to everything.

Since its creation in 2016, Entitled People has reached more than 200K members. Most of them had the "pleasure" of meeting such individuals in real life and decided to share their experiences with the rest of us. It might be difficult to know how to react to specific situations when people think they deserve special treatment and might not understand that their actions are hurting someone else.

One of the biggest characteristics that entitled people have is the "you owe me" mentality. It seems that they fundamentally believe in their superiority over others; they see themselves as more important, smarter, and overall better in life. So naturally, they expect bigger benefits from life which are often upsetting for those surrounding them.

While we're not yet sure why some people have this kind of attitude, there could be a few explanations. We are all affected by social factors such as the environment we grew up in or how our parents and other adults treat us. According to psychotherapist and psychoanalyst F. Diane Barth, L.C.S.W., it's "a normal part of a child’s psychological development to think that he or she is the center of the world." So it all comes down to the parent who should help their kid recognize that the wants and needs of others are just important as their own.

Another reason for entitlement might come from feeling mistreated. You might think you have the right to more gifts from the world because you were deprived of the things you needed earlier on. "Often, individuals who have been mistreated or disrespected exhibit a sense of entitlement when they start to feel that they deserve better than they have been getting. This is part of a healthy shift towards self-respect. Yet they, too, eventually need to find a way to balance self-respect with respect for others," Barth said.

I've done something similar yesterday in the supermarket. An old woman (no, not a lady) hit me with her shopping cart and freaked out on me that I got in her way and that she NEEDED to get to the piccolos (sparkling wine in small bottles), pushing her bloody cart against my leg again. Guess who walked out of the store with the last two bottles, a happy smile and bad karma points?

Entitled Boss Is Mad The Employees Won't Work Extra Hours

Entitled Boss Is Mad The Employees Won't Work Extra Hours

whitedranzer Report

What people expect of the world varies widely. And there's a special kind of people who think their time is worth more than others'. Cruising through life choosing ways that make life easier is definitely more comfortable for them. People who show up when they feel like it, not even apologizing for making others wait, state that other peoples' priorities are not worth taking into account. "By keeping others in suspense, individuals high in this quality demand that others follow their schedule rather than comply with social niceties," Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D., a professor emerita of psychological and brain sciences, explained.

"It’s just that, for whatever reason, they’ve come to adopt a style that has worked for them. If they can navigate the world according to their own time schedule, and no one has called them on that, then why should they change? Call them on it and let them know that this is not okay. Even more to the point, what would happen if you didn’t wait for them? Might they realize that you’re a person who can’t and won’t be treated this way?"

Not only do such people waste others' time and don't consider their needs, but they also can't seem to control their anger. In a series of studies, researchers found that those who have higher levels of psychological entitlement actually felt victimized when they experienced bad luck. They examined about 200 participants by asking them if they feel things should go their way.

Psa: There Is Extra Space For A Reason

Psa: There Is Extra Space For A Reason

Krystal-Bandit Report

After measuring levels of entitlement, psychologists gave them a task. "The participants then were told that they had been “randomly” assigned to complete a dull task (counting letters in a paragraph) rather than a fun one (rating a comic strip). Before beginning the boring task, participants indicated the degree to which it felt unfair that they had to complete this task, rather than rate the comic strip, and the amount of anger they felt in response," they explained.

SpicyHashbrowns Report

"As predicted, we found that more entitled people expected better luck, and felt cheated, and in some cases angry, that they had been given the dull task." After conducting several similar studies with even more people, the researchers found that "the greater the entitlement, the greater the self-reported anger, but only when the participant himself was impacted. When it was another person’s hardship, highly entitled people were no angrier than those who were less entitled."

We all have met a person like this at one point or another. Whether it was your co-worker, relative or a good friend, you need to know how to deal with such attitudes. When it comes to ill-temper, "it’s best to remember that the entitled person’s anger doesn’t necessarily mean that you or anyone else has wronged them. Although we can sympathize, their sense of victimization and outrage may simply be due to getting dealt a bad hand rather than the great one they feel they deserve."

Yeah, but it's nicknamed 'manspreading' for a reason. As a society, we socialize boys to take up more space than girls. There's a bunch of research, studies, and science behind why this is. Chiming in "Not all men" here isn't helpful.

He seems to be scootched forward, so he can lay back a little. Looks like he'd have room if he sat up straight. Airplanes suck for anyone who isn't a midget, but you should try your best to not encroach on someone else's very limited space

While that guy is clearly an asshole, it does not excuse airlines for lack of space between rows. Dunno who calculated what's "enough" but being 1.82m (which is not that much and barely above average for nordics) - I simply don't fit in there and every flight becomes a really painful experience just after few hours. Also, there are only as many "extra leg room" sits and getting them becomes a race you'll not necessarily win.

Adjust your position and "accidentally" kick him in the ankle. Also, since I can see you have the aisle seat, you can "accidentally" tap him in the balls as you make room for him to get past.

I have a solution to this that works every time. Instead of cringing away, I put my leg at the edge of my space, which means my leg is all kinds of touching Stranger Dude's leg. But I don't acknowledge it or look at him. Stranger Dude always ends up cringing away because it's f*****g creepy when strangers put their legs on you.

Had to do a nurse escort on a plane on an overnighter/early hours arrival flight. No biggie we had lots of room for that and crew were lovely. Unfortunately had to come back on a peak business flight because that was the first back for another last minute destination patient pickup. Got assigned the middle seat of 3 and had 2 suits (big guys as well in the roundness department) one on either side of me. They were furious they had to get their stuff off the middle seat when the hostie asked them so I could sit. They then both decided to take out that frustration on me and they just had to manspread to push up against my legs, and broadsheet newspaper spread across my face the entire flight. Any time I tried to move my legs or put an arm on a single arm rest I got shoved by one of them. Crew were very apologetic they could not move me as plane was packed. Luckily was only 3hr flight but the entitlement and passive seething rage directed against me would have been amusing if less blatant

They seemed to be colleagues and talked over my head the entire time, reaching back and forth behind my back, over my head, infront of my chest. I offered to change seats, they refused. The woman kept coming closer and closer, tickling me with her hair, the guy kept commenting on the book I was TRYING to read... Worst flight ever.

I was siting in the window seat when a guy sits in the middle seat and his girlfriend is in the isle seat. He immediately places his backpack between his legs and spreads out into my space. I looked at him and said "hell no, stay in your own space". He looked at me in disbelief, then his girlfriend looked at him and said don't be a jerk and put your backpack under your seat. I liked her already. He stayed out of my space for the remainder of the flight.

I’m 6’4” (193 cm) tall. Economy airline seats are too crowded for me to sit comfortably. Note that his knee is up against the armrest support and squished into the seat pocket in front? When I fly I either have to manspread a bit or jam my knees into the back of the person in front. Where would you rather sit — beside me for the former or in front of me for the latter?

Just as you value your comfort other person next to you or ahead of you also values their comfort. You paid for your seat, they paid for their seat. So if they are not ok with you invading their personal space THEY PAID FOR you will have to suck it up and deal with it or pay for first class or take it up with airlines. This isn't 'they' problem, this is a 'you' problem.

If there's not enough leg room then if nothing else talk to the passenger next to you and explain and apologize if you are invading their space. Usually they are more understanding if you address the problem instead of just doing whatever you want /need with no regard to what their opinion is.

Why are you angry at him? The airline is the one making the leg room impossible for any normal sized person to sit comfortably. His legs are clearly too long and his knees would be jammed into the back of someone else the whole time. You have plenty of room but are clearly someone who is sexist & always looking for something to be offended about.

Ah, the poor bloke. There isn't enough room for his legs to be straight, they'd have to be 5cm shorter just to fit. I'm not sure you can call it manspreading if it isn't physically possible to do anything else. This sucks for both of you but the fault lies with the seating arrangements...

This is a height thing, not gender thing. They need to redesign aircraft to reduce the leg room of short people so that people over 6' have enough room without paying extra. Its absurd to complain that a 6' person takes up more leg room than a 5' person. Next time one of these people asks me reach for something from a high place or hunker down so they can try to see past me at the cinema or event I'll just laugh at them.

His legs are not that long, in fact he looks like a short guy, maybe that's why he feels the need to manspread. Also, he has his carry on luggage between his legs. I am sure there is a flight attendant who can be involved in this matter. If you're feeling too self conscious to do it in front of him, you can always stand up to the nearest one and ask them to check on the improperly put luggage. They request you to put it either below the seat, or take it from you and put it in the container above. And of course if nothing helped so far you can start brushing off your feet on his trousers, stomping, throw some coffee over, etc.

Actually it seems that man is tall and that space is not enough for his legs. My husband amd. My son are tall (196 and 193 cm) and the airplane space is too little for them. So I don't blame that mab. Of course I hope he is apologized for that. Apologize for being tall and the airline companies make as kuch money as they can put as many sits as they can in the planes.

It depends. I am of such small stature, that no matter how cheap the airlines get, I will always fit in, but many men I see can in no way sit in these seats even in the aisles. If his legs can't fit then I don't see an issue with him.

I fully understand what you're saying about your personal space. But this is an easily fixed issue. (assuming the picture's real and you took it and the guy didn't move) Ask once, than seek the flight attendant.

Look at how long that guy's legs are. Where is he supposed to put them? He is not touching her in any way. And you know if that was a fat lady pushing into a seatmate everyone would be fine with it.

It looks like his butt is nowhere near the back of the seat, so he shouldn't have a problem staying in his lane if he sits up. If he truly had legs so long that this was the only way he could sit, I'm sure a polite "I'm so sorry, would you mind if I put my leg here?" would have not resulted in this post.

I'm short enough that I can cross my leg over the other one and still remain in my space. That can help keep the other person's leg in their own space, esp if I were to start swinging my top leg, if need be.

I also have long legs and have the same problem as this guy. It can actually be quite difficult to fit your legs straight ahead when your knees are together. I envy the little person on the right! That being said, I don't do this kind of nonsense.

I totally get it, but it does look like he's too tall for the seat to begin with and would be unable to keep his legs straight in front of him. He probably should have got an aisle seat though as he knows how tall he is before boarding a plane!

I'm probably going to piss some people off with this, but I really don't think this is his fault. I'm gonna go ahead and blame airlines for this. Where is he supposed to put his legs? Even at an angle his knee is still jammed into the armrest in front of him. If he jams his knees into the back of the seat in front of him he'll be in pain and causing discomfort for the person in front. Airlines need to go back to designing their layouts for actual humans.

All of this may seem like a never-ending cycle. First, thinking that the world owes you certain things, then getting angry when certain expectations are not met. Finally, fixing the situation you're in which will only give you more self-confidence that you really deserve everything you've ever wanted. The good news is that this is easily changeable and we can think of a few ways on how to break this pattern.

You can start by practicing treating others the way you would like to be treated. Take a step back, evaluate the situation from a different point of view, and think: is it really fair for other people to drop everything that they're doing because you need it? It's not, right? Well, most importantly, remember to have respect for others and treat them kindly because you might be unaware of the struggles they have to deal with on a daily basis.

The U.S obsession with the military, and this "thank you for your service" mentality is pathetic. Let me get this straight - better than minimum wage, free clothing, accommodation and meals, free dental and health care, free travel and paid vacation time, and lower risk of being shot dead than a grocery store cashier, and yet somehow the military must be revered for service to their country while people busting their balls in all weathers to repair infrastructure, or teach children, or doing any other job and paying taxes don't deserve the same respect? What a sick, twisted society.
