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.
Cursed Tinder
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.”

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.
She Thinks She Can’t Fired
Change Your Dog's Name, Or My Unborn Baby's Life Will Be Ruined
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.”
Because Rents Already Cheap Enough As It Is
Her Broke Baby Daddy/Ex Boyfriend Is Absolutely Floored That She Changed Her Netflix Password Lmao
When You’re Not The Baby’s Daddy
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.”
Do You Expect Him To Give You A Ring That Costs More Than Your Rent!
I'm all for happy relationships, but this boyfriend should ditch this woman. No good can come from this.
The reg flag from this gutter twat is too big for a US Aircraft Carrier to fly.
Load More Replies...My wedding ring was a simple silver band with the words, "May your wildest dreams come true," engraved on it and I LOVED it.
Honey, I don't blame you! Ditch this man right away and find someone more shallow and materialistic that you have more in common with.
If the right person would have asked me, I would even have said "yes" to an onion ring.
wooow, an old one (like at least one year old) - this one is (according to a reddit commenter) from a group that did "self-shame fridays" where people put their own rings for roasting with a rule that none of the rings could be commented; also, the bf was supposedly in on it... BP also should do something like self-shame day for a lot of stuff, not doing proper research being one example, another being not educating site visitors that if they want to respond directly to a post/photo BP copied from / dug up / aggregated from elsewhere, they should go to the source site (very often to find a post/thread is so old commenting is off and posts marked as deleted)
He sounds like a caring person, unlike you you ungrateful twaddle - twa*.... I mean, what do you expect; Three Fabergé eggs mounted on the back of a unicorn horn?? The only thing that needs to " tactfully " go is YOU....
If you don't love the ring, here's what you do. 1. Don't go on social media. That's embarrassing, stupid, and you should get dumped. If you really don't like it, maybe hint at what you want and if you have the nerve, ask for slight adjustments. Otherwise, be greatful you're getting a ring and a partner.
Maybe it's not for you. Maybe you should stop snooping. It could be his mother's.
Here's how to roast him: Say this exactly the way I do: "I'm a money-hungry selfish entitled gold-digger and you deserve better than my cheap a**" That'll show him.
My fiance made my ring out of wood and carved our names inside. Priceless. I don't care for the ring in pic either but most of us ADULTS have had conversations with our s.o. to show what our taste in jewelry is. Even if not, you still accept with your heart and trade it up at your ten year anniversary. Dude dodged a lifetime of snipey biznich
Sure, you ought to like what you're going to wear on your hand indefinitely, so why not purchase it together? But there is no inherent wrong with that ring, it looks like a standard wedding ring.
First, snooping in his private area? VERY POOR form, sounds like you're desperate for something. Second, looks like 1.5 to 2 carats? If that's natural diamond and not lab, that's several thousand dollars, not cheap! Third, did your parent(s) never teach you to be gracious?? Fourth and last, if you absolutely can't wear the *style* you accept the proposal, thank him for his thoughtfulness and generousity, and then gently say you re hope he doesn't mind you asking if you can maybe exchange for a different style, because you will be wearing it for hopefully many years and want to be comfortable with it. But you ENSURE he knows it isn't him you are not loving.
Rings mean nothing. If all you want to do is collect expensive rings without giving a thought for what the rind actually symbolises, you really don't deserve it.
My cousin refused the ring her then boyfriend proposed with. Disgustedly told me how it was ugly and it wasn't a proper engagement ring. Dear reader, the dude got a new ring, proposed again, and they did in fact get married. They are now divorced. Who, I mean WHO could see that coming lol
My to be husband died before he got to propose (I have it on good authority he was going to). I'd have given ANYTHING to have what you have. Ungrateful woman.
Ewww, please roast this woman and tell me how I can say, "get another woman"
I am married 33 years. Happily. The rings were the cheapest - and most irrelevant - part of our decision to marry. Just saying.
I have been married 30 ,due to a nerve issue, I can no longer wear my beautiful ring.
Load More Replies...You're all saying even if she really hates the ring, she should just shut up and wear it for the rest of her life. That seems rather unfair to me.
It's not that so much as her reaction and decision to post it on social media and be rude about it. It would be better for her to fess up to snooping (or whatever she was doing) and let him know she found it and talk to him about it. I agree you should have something you love as a wedding ring, but her response was over the top tacky.
Load More Replies...A beautiful ring! Much more tasteful than a ring with one oversized stone.
I think it's the boyfriend who needs to find SOMEONE different!
That is a beautiful ring, I would be overjoyed with something like that. He needs to return YOU before it’s too late.
That's such a pretty ring. What exactly did she want, a diamond that weighed her hand down?
That’s actually a beautiful ring does she want 17 pounds of rubies, gold, and diamonds on her fingers?!?!
OMFG - that's a gorgeous ring! He deserves better than you, you shallow ditch dweller.
You're right - he needs something different. Or rather, someone different...
How to say "you need to get something better"? Try something along the lines of: "Unfortunately I am an insensitive, ungrateful and entiteled b***h, who focuses more on my needs and want, than your feelings or intents. I choose to put materilistic things over personal relationsions, so if you have just a minimum of mental capacity, you should quickly realise that there is much better options out there, when it comes to finding a suitable partner, who values you as person, and who sees you for more than just what you are able to provide. " There is your roast, and advice on how to tell him to find something better.
How to say "No, you need to get something different"? Try something along the lines of: "I am an ungrateful, entitled b***h, who totally disregard your effort and feelings. My only concern is myself and what I want, and in that regard I focus a lot on materialistic things rather than the symbolic value or the intend of the person giving them to me. If you have any kind of self-esteem and just a few working brain cells, you should dump me as there are way better options when it comes to finding a partner out there". There is your roast and your plea for him to do better.
A different woman perhaps. This entitled harpy will be on the streets
Yeah he sure does need to get something different A different girlfriend
No. He doesn't need to get something different. He needs to get another girlfriend.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't engagement rings only worn for the engagement and swapped out for wedding bands at the wedding?
It depends on where you come from. In one country the engagement ring is worn on top of the wedding ring. In other countries, one is on the left and the other right. In some countries they exchange. And in other countries, it doesn't matter at all...

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.”

She Thinks Her Husband Is In The Wrong! Infuriating
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.”

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.
