We’ve all met someone who thinks the world revolves around them. What’s your most unforgettable entitled person story?

#1

My older adoptive brother who has managed to get through his entire life by masterfully playing the victim and getting people to feel sorry for him. Despite having leeched off our parents his whole life, not having to pay rent or buy food, he "never had a chance", and that's why he never had a decent job, or any money, or a place of his own. If only he was given what he was owed...(whatever that was), he could have made it, dammit!

Eventually, the free ride on our mother's back was over after she had a catastrophic stroke, and his evil sister (me) sold EVERYTHING out from under him (Mom's house, not his, Mom's car, not his) cheating him out of what was righfully his (legally, nothing). Nevertheless, by doing what was neccessary to care for a profoundly disabled elderly woman, I RUINED his life, and RUINED any chance he had for happiness and success, forever! BAD BAD me.

    In high school we had a classmate, heir to a decently big family business. They were very well off, not part of the billionaire %1, but certainly wealthy. The boy refused to enter any classes, lived from party to party claiming "I can hire anybody to run my company for me" and several times tried to bribe the teachers. His parents gave him a top-of-line pickup truck for his birthday, and he complained about them not raising his already huge allowance for buying gasoline.

    Well, turns out the "I can hire anybody" bit backfired on him. When starting at the family business, he ended up hiring an accountant that nearly robbed them blind. Apparently he had authorized a transfer operation without reading the paperwork, and it was stopped just in time. The father cut him off and sent him to do deliveries for a year before allowing him back in management. He apparently learned his lesson, though.

    I suppose this is relatively tamer, but I can’t think of anything else.

    My dad bought me this book once, when I was a teenager, and I couldn’t wait to start reading it, so I did. I finished the entire book in a couple of days. While I was reading, one day, my grandmother was on a phone call with her sister, and jokingly told her about how I quickly find the book so fast. Apparently her sister laughed and asked me to give the book away to her granddaughter, my cousin, because she couldn’t imagine what I would do with the book now that I’ve finished it.

    Firstly, no, my dad paid for that, I’m keeping it. Secondly, I only give away books I don’t read anymore, and I fully intended to keep it and read it again someday.

    For context, what makes this even more irritating is that my cousin apparently “rents” out her books. She gives them to people in her apartment to read, for a price. My grandmother’s sister basically asked me to give my book to her, so she could rent it out and make money from it???

    Do people actually rent books from her? If so, why?! Are they aware that libraries will do that for free??

    High school, he was an heir to the Aussie shampoo company and a total brat. He treated me like cr@p because I wouldn't let him into my pants. His parents gave him a red BMW for not throwing a house party while he was away. It was subsequently vandalized.

    He ended up addicted to herine and shipped off to treatment on multiple occasions. I looked him up recently, and apparently, and I mean apparently, cleaned up so he wouldn't lose his inheritance. Opiate addicts can be very functional and fool everyone.
