Something my parents instilled in me from a young age is the importance of good manners. Please, thank you, yes ma’am, no sir and a polite, pleasant attitude can get you a long way. At the same time, acting like a spoiled brat can set you back and, perhaps, even get you called out online.
We took a trip to this subreddit that’s dedicated to putting entitled individuals on blast and gathered some of their best posts below. From selfish people making demands on social media to drivers taking up as many parking spots as they like, enjoy scrolling through these examples of atrocious entitlement, and be sure to upvote the pics that make your blood boil!

Entitled Petty And Second Class Woman
You'd better address me with my neighbour's hamster's room-mates- librarians cousins rank, which is mayor pain in the a*s.
This Karen Got Owned By My Boss
This Unhinged Karen Who Hit And Bit Flight Attendants And Other Passengers On An American Airlines Flight Last July And Was Tied And Duct-Taped To Her Seat Was Fined $82,000
Nobody wants to be seen as a pushover, and if you genuinely are entitled to something, you shouldn’t be afraid to say so. Boss refuses to accept your time-off requests even though you’ve acquired dozens of days off? Speak up. Food courier forgot half of the meal you paid for at the restaurant? You deserve to get your money back. But it’s important that we all understand what we’re actually entitled to versus what our delusions tell us we deserve.
The Entitled “Batch” subreddit (who’s name we’ve had to censor) is all about calling out individuals who believe they are owed much more than they really are. It describes itself as a place “to post and read about experiences with people who think they can always get their own way and are better than everyone,” and it’s become quite popular. With over 343k members, this online community is the perfect place to remind yourself that not everyone has great manners.
EK Breaks Store Policy And Is Upset With Outcome
Bro..?
Someone Is Hella Over It!
We’ve all encountered entitled behavior before, whether it’s a Karen demanding that a restaurant seat her party before others even though she doesn’t have a reservation or a couple expecting to get free wedding photos from a professional photographer because they went to high school together. But most of us know that this behavior is totally inappropriate, so where does it come from?
To gain more insight on this topic for a previous Bored Panda piece, we got in touch with Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Music Therapist Al Hoberman. Al was kind enough to have a chat with us and explain how exactly people justify their entitled behavior.

Karens Will Be Karens
That's too funny. I would've probably replied with, "really? Then, why the h3ll are you talking to me?"🙄😂
Your Loss!
“Entitlement can come across as overconfidence, but turned on its head, we can see it as an expression of some kind of need,” Al explained. “Maybe it’s wanting to feel special, to be cared and provided for, or to know that you’ll be there for them. Wanting a lot is a sign that someone feels that they’re lacking a lot, whether they’re fully aware of it or not.”

One Of The Busiest Beach Days Of The Year And This A-Hole Parked Like This
I've seen something almost identical to this in a beach car park. You'd be surprised just how little room motorbikes need to park.
Load More Replies...Someone recently parked in my driveway (I live next to a field where they were holding a kids football tournament). I told him it was my private space and he couldn't park there, his reply was "f**k off, you're not using it" (my car was in the garage, which I couldn't open as this asshat had parked on my drive). I went to the shed, got my old wheel clamp, and then shouted to him "20 seconds to move it or you won't be able to". I got the same reply as first time. So, while grinning at him, I put the clamp on his car, making sure it was extra tight, pointed out the sign on my garage door saying anyone who parks there will be clamped, then put the key in my pocket, got into my wife's car (which was next to his on the driveway) and drove to work. Had a call from a neighbour a few hours later saying there was a guy kicking off and my new car was getting towed (wasn't mine obviously, was this random a******s car). He must have called a tow truck himself and got them to take his car.
It's always Audi drivers. For the last three decades, Audi drivers have been the biggest D-bags on the road but Tesla drivers are catching up fast.
Audi doesn't drive, but he's happy to pounce.
Load More Replies...Tip: Bring a piece of Chalk and outline the area they parked as "A**hole Parking" ...Yes, I'm petty and no I will not change.
and open you car's doors and ding the H out of that car.
Load More Replies...Well yeah, I can tell you exactly why they parked that way, because it's an expensive car, and they wanted to leave plenty of room so it didn't get dinged or scratched by other people getting in and out of their cars. That doesn't make it okay though. Your fancy penis extension doesn't trump common decency.
Load More Replies...In defense...it is a really nice car. Parking like this draws attention, ire and worst of all-keys!
Like that idea, especially when you do it the way it doesn't break the tire, but they have to call to be towed
Load More Replies...One, don't drive your R8 to the beach if you're worried about it getting dinged. But at least it's an R8. There's a person with a 2014 Camaro V6 at my workplace that does this, but parks diagonally across the center of 4 spots.
It's a "pay to park" parking lot. Where I live, that means the lot owner has the right to tow vehicles like this at the owner's expense (plus, owner has to to pay to get their vehicle out of the impound lot).
How do you know the guy didn't pay for two spaces?
Load More Replies...I would park so close that they would not get in their drivers door- or maybe just use pliers to pull all 4 valve stems from the tires
Ran into this once when out riding with another couple. We parked our bikes on either side, so close he couldn't get in his car, then waited and watched while he screamed and whined.
I need to see your entitlement card. Otherwise your car will be towed.
I actually know exactly where this is and are not even slightly surprised. Welcome to Sydney's northern beaches, land of the entitled.
It would be great to have the power to part this car in two and place one part in each "room"
Thats why car keys have sharp edges. Use it as a "correction tool". LMAO
I watched a programme about bad parking, some people park like this to make sure that their car doesn't get scratched. Selfish, entitled, a****oles.
Well, almost all shopping locations have signage that they are not responsible for damage from carts. Well, I'd be taking some carts around that car, scratching the H out of it.
Push it out of the space, call for a tow, park directly in front of them , that car looks small enough to pick up
Wait till the next door cars roll off and park in the same manner. Just tape the melt when they kick off.
I do this in my designated parking spots all the time, because I literally pay rent for them, and if I don't, someone else is sure to park there, and then my guests have nowhere to park. But, I would *NEVER* park like this in a public lot!
That's either Surfers Paradise on the Queensland/ New South Wales boarder, Australia. Rich people infest the place. I am not surprised in the slightest.
I would've parked a little smartcar in that gap (or preferably both). And the red car's the one over the line, so that's who gets the ticket....I think.
The others should have parked really, really close, with the door they don't use close to the sports car.
As much as I hate seeing that, the mini van is not that much of an improvement.
It's common to put "/s" at the end of your posts when you're being sarcastic. Otherwise, you might get downvoted.
Load More Replies...She Forgave Herself For Cheating
Al also noted that entitlement amongst family members can sometimes be a bid for connection. “Just like a young child who is all smiles at daycare, and then comes home and has a meltdown, we tend to show our most difficult feelings around people we trust,” he previously shared. “So if a family member is asking a lot of you, it may be an unconscious way of asking ‘how much can I lean on you and have you still love me?’”
What The What?!
I can't deal with that "proud to be in the military " stuff. Where I come from, nobody see it as something positive.

As a kid, I'd have been thrilled to death to have the same name as a dog.
“On the other hand, if someone has grown up in an environment where this kind of behavior was rewarded, or they observed it in others, it could be that this is just what feels normal to them,” the therapist pointed out. “They might not even see it as special treatment, it’s just what they’re used to doing.”

No, it means she cheated. I can't think of any other way to interpret this. Even in 16th century Europe that was grounds for divorce and do you know how hard it is to get the actual Pope to OK a divorce? Ask Henry the VIII.
We also asked the expert for some advice on dealing with relatives who make others feel guilty about not giving into their selfish demands. “This is what practicing boundaries is all about,” Al noted.
“It’s a common misconception that setting boundaries is about getting the other person to do something you want. Actually, it’s about figuring out what your limits are, and deciding how you’re going to respond when they’re crossed,” he explained. “Then, importantly, you communicate that decision ahead of time.”

Came Across This Post From A Fellow Classmate. She Wants Everyone To Ask Her For Permission Before Getting Married/Taking On A Job
“Say I have a parent who keeps giving me unsolicited parenting advice,” Al says. “My first step is to tell them it’s unwelcome, and ask them, firmly but kindly, to stop. Next, if they persist, I might say something like, ‘Listen, if you’re really not able to stop, I’m going to end our conversation. We can talk about something else another time.’”
“Of course, chances are, the person you set boundaries with is going to be upset at first. That’s where the guilt comes in,” the therapist continued. “No one wants to feel like they’re letting down someone they love, but tuning in to this caring can help you express yourself compassionately without compromising your own needs.”

While setting boundaries with entitled individuals is a good way to handle conflict, Al told Bored Panda that it doesn’t prevent it altogether. “It can be an emotionally taxing process, and especially if you’re naturally conflict-averse, it's important to have a support system in place as you go through it. This could mean speaking with friends, a partner, or a therapist, but should also include keeping in mind that you’re in a vulnerable place and treating yourself with care.”

With her young child and started petting my dog with her kid, as if it was some teachable moment. i said, "usually you ask first" and she took pictures of me while unaware and posted them online with a bad review.
So she gave the coffee bar a poor review because of a private interaction with another customer? Too bad businesses can't use a rating system to keep people like her from being allowed in the door.
