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!

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

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.

“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.”

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.”

Eb Prioritizes Legroom Over Industry Safety Standards
The whole point of being allowed to sit in the emergency exit row is that you're able bodied enough to open the door/window escape and assist others with exiting the plane.
Maybe someone could lend her a hand? Sorry, i'll see myself out. 🥴

If I were an amputee and the plane was in trouble, I certainly would want a person with two strong hands getting that door open - and then quickly standing clear out of my way.
I doubt it. Jetliners generally have three types of emergency doors, a set in the front, a set in the back, and a set in the middle, the front and sometimes also the back doors are usually used for boarding people, so there is a small aisle there. Only the overwing doors (the ones in the middle) have passengers seated in front of them, who is expected to handle them in an emergency. If you look at the illustration for how to handle the door, after you have opened it, it says to grab it with both hands and throw it out of the hole left in the fuselage, so it won't block the access for the passengers. This is hard to do with one hand. The reason why the door must open inwards, is a safty measure, to prevent the door from being able to be blown out from the higher cabin pressure while the plane is flying.
Load More Replies... It is made very clear that you have to be able to help open the door in case of emergency. It is not discrimination it is saying you are not physically able to perform the requirements to sit in that row
As someone with a physical disability that would prevent me from being able to operate the emergency doors, I accept that I can no longer enjoy the benefits of the emergency row. Even if it would make life easier in terms of manoeuvring space, I would much rather the safety of 25% of the passengers was entrusted to someone who can actually help.

...well yes, she most definitely was discriminated against. And rightly so.
My revered agéd one and I had no impression of being discriminated against, only being allowed as far as the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, as we understood as disabled, even simple walking problems, we could cause a severe risk for others, if evacuation was needed. Our accompanists, even got free entry, as aides.
And how exactly would she be able to open the emergency door, in an actual emergency?
They were correct in not allowing you to be seated in that row. It is not discriminatory, it is to do with the safety of the people on board.
