35 Nerve-Wracking Times When People Complained About Free Gifts
There's an old saying that tells us, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." Its exact origin is unknown, but an early version of the phrase appeared in print in English in 1546.
The words refer to the art of determining the age of horses by inspecting their mouth, which, even though it's a tricky task, can be done to a considerable degree of accuracy.
So it's a poetic way of reminding us to be grateful for our presents. But the subreddit 'Choosing Beggars' can also illustrate this basic act of human decency. And it does that by showcasing everyone who can't — or, for some reason, won't — express gratitude.
So join us as we explore the depths of this online community in search of entitled people complaining about free stuff. Believe me, simply witnessing their ridiculous behavior should be enough to once and for all remember the importance of a plain "thank you." Even if we don't mean it, at least it helps us to avoid looking like entitled brats.

Restaurant Gives Out Free Candy Canes, People Are Mad They Aren’t Organic

I saw a similar thing when we had a promotion at our store and gave away free cups of vanilla bean ice cream from a local place. The number of parents who complained because we didn't have chocolate/strawberry/bubblegum/whatever flavor their wittle precious wanted was higher than the number of parents/customers who said "Ooh, high quality free ice cream? Thank you!" That's before we got to the ones complaining that they/their kids are lactose intolerant and we should have something for them, too, because it wasn't fair. That was the last community promotion we had, because people are selfish jerks.

Your Free Wood Is Too Big!
Momma Panda 4 years ago
Sometime ago we at home had wood leftover from building but good to go in the furnace. My husband offered it to a friend for free and he was happy about if. After he didn't pick it up for about a week, my busband asked why and he wanted us to deliver it to him. My busband's response was Do you want me to make a fire for you too? That wood went to someone else after that

Free Government Funded Food Package Isn’t Up To Their Standard
Best behave.... 4 years ago (edited)
These parcels were sent out to families of kids on free school meals (and others such as disabled folk) at the beginning of lock down. It was supposed to be 2 weeks worth of lunches, and cost the taxpayer £30 each. There was less than £5 of usually poor quality food, the surplus being pocketed by the private company our corrupt Tory govt appointed to do this. It would have been cheaper and way more effective to give struggling people the money direct. No, this wasn't a rejected act of kindness and charity, it was a scam.

Surprised that there wasn't a military spouse in there. I swear, my years in retail were riddled with navy wives demanding discounts on things because "We serve, too!" Good for you, lady, but our store doesn't offer military discounts to actual military members, much less the ones they bone.

Why can't Bored Panda ever provide these lists without a million duplicate posts. I don't have time to just scroll through these duplicates. If you are going to give free content out, you could at least have the decency to make sure you are not wasting out time on duplicates. Do better. Just joking, of course. Thanks to all the contributors here who give me a little much needed distraction on the daily.

I thought most of these were funny, but a few actually got me upset. People, please protect yourselves, and as soon as someone becomes unreasonable, block their number. Don't give your physical address until they are actually on the way. If at all possible, meet them at a nearby gas station or fast food place.

Or a police station! Many police departments in the U.S. have offered to be meeting places for this purpose, and some even have designated parking spots just for this purpose with camera coverage. And yes, I would definitely block the CB after the first nasty reply.
