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.

I Was Giving Away A Free Dishwasher On Craigslist And Caught One In The Wild!
BadCat 3 years ago
Ew. I immediately decline on these deals. I was wanting to buy a game off a lady who was selling it on Facebook marketplace for $15. I don't have a car but I have no issues taking a bus to meet people at a Tims or somewhere else, usually meeting up at a place they're needing to go anyways. So, this lady said she could meet up in a popular area she was going to be in and set a day and time, about 2 bus rides for me. (She knew what area I live in and that I took the bus.) She drove a car. About an hour later she pms saying she wants an extra $5 for the trouble of using gas and her time. ...Oo. I made up an excuse to decline the sale. I know it's only $5 more, but it's the principle. Just her tone put me off.

The sense of entitlement is strong with these folks. They clearly believe that the world owes them without giving anything in return.
Entitled people have a tendency to adopt goals based around their own self-image, often leading them into conflict with others.
While they may be able to put up an exterior of being nice and well-mannered on the outside, research shows that it's all just for show; deep down inside this is usually not how they truly feel about themselves or other individuals around them.

It's Free Pool
TheEndIsNigh 3 years ago
Word. We moved to a neighborhood that although it's "small" as in number of houses, the lots are big (between 2-4 acres) so that everyone is spread out a good distance from the each other. We had a pool installed in the atrium so it's screened in (there are lots of trees around and we didn't want to constantly deal with leaves) but it's still "outside." It wasn't uncommon to hear splashing and walk out to find a neighbor kid or two. When I asked what they were doing they would say "oh it's fine, our parents said we could come over." WTF?!? Yes, we did invite them over ONE TIME and apparently this translated to "we are totally cool with your kids just walking in our house to use our pool." When we put a lock on the fence, the little b*stards complained to their parents, who then complained to us. It is unfathomable that we live in a world where I have to explain to a grown-@ss adult that their child is not entitled to swim in our pool and still have them get pissy.

One study even suggests that entitlement can be dangerous. In 2018, researchers from Case Western Reserve University found that entitled people are more likely to experience chronic disappointment, unmet expectations, and a self-reinforcing cycle of behavior which puts them at risk for harm psychologically or socially.
Think of it like this: when someone thinks of themselves as superior, anything that challenges their worldview is met with defensiveness and anger. This creates a vicious cycle: the more they are challenged by society's limitations, the angrier they become at these "injustices."

Restaurant Gives Out Free Candy Canes, People Are Mad They Aren’t Organic
Mrs. Jan Glass 3 years ago
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.

unreal people, they don't connect the reality, need and expectations.
However, social psychologist Jane Adams highlighted that every now and then we mistake entitlement for a sense of self-confidence projected by competent, assured, often charismatic others.
And sometimes, a bit of a fleeting, situational rush of entitlement might even be a good thing. "It can increase creativity and lead to novel, unusual solutions to problems, the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that organizations and employers encourage," Adams pointed out in Psychology Today.

"Pejoratively labeling an individual or a generation as entitled sometimes reveals more about us than it does about them," Adams continued. "Our unwillingness to recognize another's meritorious worth or hard-earned success, which indicates how often we think with our beliefs rather than about them."
The social psychologist said that a good example of this is how Hillary Clinton was viewed as entitled when she ran for political office, but not when she was actually in it.

Researchers at Harvard and Cornell who studied 99 undergraduates and 98 MBA candidates found that entitled people don't follow instructions, because they see them as unfair.
"They would rather take a loss themselves than agree to something unfair," said the authors, who correlated high scores on entitlement measurements with difficulty complying with the 'rules' of the experimental task. Attempting to understand why students ignored them (selfishness, control, or punishment), they found that fairness was the primary reason.

I have bad (or possibly good) news for you. If the requirement is that a person is going to purchase something using legal tender (money) then the buyer and seller have entered into a business contract. No matter how fleeting it is. As soon as money is involved, there’s a plethora of laws that apply. Stop assuming you are “nothing more than a regular person”, when offering whatever-the-heck for a “small” amount of money. As soon as legal tender is involved you have become a business and are subject to the laws of business.

Entitled people want to be different from others. But just as frequently they come across as indifferent to others. That's why they often provoke such negative responses in those they encounter, especially those they don't personally know.
If you suspect that you might also be acting like a spoiled brat sometimes, there are things you can do to overcome it:
- Recognize the feeling of entitlement. Refuse to let it impact your life. If you have a hard time recognizing the feeling, think about other times when you felt entitled and then notice how much that feeling resembles what you're feeling now.
- Understand that you are not entitled to anything. Unfortunately, the world does not owe you anything. Life is unfair and it's your job to make the best of what you get in life, not to complain about what you deserve but don't have.

I know there is decided lack in fresh food for people in need, but FFS, that is partly because there are no safe ways to store/deliver it, hence the cans and boxes.
Remi 3 years ago
And canned veggies can actually be better/healthier than the "fresh" ones if the vegetable in question isn't in season. Compare the watery tomatoes you get in the winter to good canned ones.

During covid lockdown, the schools gave the kids in online school free food every single day...several volunteers ran a drive through operation to give out the 3 meals a day. One of my neighbors gathered all the food her kids didn't want and put a post on nextdoor offering it to anyone who wanted it. Enter Karen bitching about how her tax dollars were paying for this food and she found it "hard to believe" that there were that many kids who needed the free meals "she was paying for with her taxes" UGH!!!! My husband and I both work in the film industry and we were out of work for 7 months and a lot of our neighbors lost their jobs during the pandemic as well. These meals were a godsend to our families. Then there were the people bitching about what were in the free meals. It's FOOD!!!

- Find ways to help others without expecting anything in return. How can you serve others without expecting anything in return? Simple: volunteer your time. If you want something in return for your services, consider that what you're getting is "happiness" from knowing that you have helped those less fortunate than yourself.
- Learn the difference between needs and wants. People with a sense of entitlement have a problem distinguishing between needs and wants. This makes it very difficult to make healthy, sound decisions since you constantly want more than you need. Instead, focus on what you truly need in life and cut out what you simply want.

- Focus on what's in your control rather than what isn't. You can only control your own thoughts, feelings, actions, and responses. Stop focusing on what other people are doing or how they are responding to situations. Instead, focus on changing the things that you have some influence over in your life.
- Practice gratitude for everything good in your life, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem at the time. Consider everything you have in your life right now: a home, family or friends, good health, etc. Take a moment to be grateful for everything that you have and realize that there are a lot of people out there who would love to trade places with you.

If you’re hungry and privileged enough to pick and choose your food based on nutritional content - then you don’t need the pizza and don’t need to shame others for eating the pizza or giving away the pizza. If people have nothing to give but pizza (or are only willing to give away pizza) then let them give away pizza. If someone wants to give away pizza just for the heck of it then let them give away pizza just for the heck of it. Nothing to complain about here! Don’t want free pizza?

Home made Pizza can be healthier than what you often buy a take aways etc. Also it can feed a number of people. Some kids in the UK only have one substantial meal during the day, and that is from the school, as they live on or below the poverty line. Good on this store for offering this.

What’s wrong with pizza? With a salad it can be a balanced meal. Besides it’s an easy thing to teach a kid how to make and get them started in the kitchen.
- Think about how your sense of entitlement is affecting other people in your life. How have other people been affected by your sense of entitlement? Have you unintentionally made them feel guilty or resentful because they didn't live up to your expectations? If so, remember that other people have their own lives to live and their own feelings. A person's actions toward you aren't necessarily directly tied to how much you mean to them.
- Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself because nobody else will do it for you. It might seem counterintuitive, but one way out of self-entitlement is to be kinder to yourself. When you are feeling entitled, it can be difficult or impossible for you to take care of your own needs. Instead, you might fall into a place of self-neglect because you are expecting others to take care of you.
Following these steps might not entirely cure your sense of entitlement, but they should reduce it to a point where you won't be complaining to people who want to give you free gifts.

Free Government Funded Food Package Isn’t Up To Their Standard
Best behave.... 3 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.
Dilly Millandry 3 years ago (edited)
Actually looking at the thread on Reddit (and the items shown) this is not the Free School Food Box - this is the Lock-Down Free Food Parcel that went to people shielding. This was a different scheme altogether and much more useful. It was also weekly. The school meal one was a disgrace I totally agree. This photo is only showing part of what was provided in the boxes I received (they did vary week to week but the quantities of food were similar). It also included oats, rice, box of cereals, tea, coffee, biscuits, tinned fruit and a few other tinned foods, potatoes as well as the carrots, shampoo, body wash... and probably other things I can't remember. I know because as a disabled person I was eligible and received the boxes myself. I didn't need them so gave them to some local families.

This is wrong. This was in the UK. The food parcels were sent to families with children entitled to free school meals to help them feed the children while they were unable to attend school during lockdown. The company that was responsible for putting them together were paid a lot of money by the government to do so, but basically short changed needy families instead. The parcels were meant to have enough food in them to provide lunch to a child for 2 weeks and most contained not even a few days worth. They also provided very little nutrition with little to no fruit or vegetables in some boxes. The box above is merely an example. There were many other low income families who had been relying on these boxes to feed their children during lockdown that were taken advantage of.
Dilly Millandry 3 years ago (edited)
This isn't the same food parcel - the one shown was from the scheme where free food parcels were provided weekly to people shielding. It was better in several ways - more food, better range of food and provided weekly. The foods had to be stable so mainly tinned, boxed and dried goods but did include fresh potatoes and carrots and really not that awful. The free school meal one was appalling, no doubt about it. Check it on Reddit - provides more info but also I recognise some of the products I received in my weekly parcel!

There's a lot of complaints about Epic Games, but a free game is a free game, I check every time they offer another one, they sometimes give 2 games every week, sometimes they even do 2 games a day every week, if they don't interest me at all, I don't claim them, it's really not that hard

Starbucks Is Offering Free Coffee To Veterans And Active Duty Military Members And Their Spouses. I Can’t Tell If The Girlfriend Comment Or The Person Asking For More Variety Is Worse
Mrs. Jan Glass 3 years ago
Oh, god, there they are. I grew up in a military town. Military spouses are the worst.
Bonesko 3 years ago
A customer threw a huge hissy fit when she didn't receive the discount she felt entitled to being a military spouse. It was embarrassing to watch.

I never understand when Americans say their vets bought their freedom? They’ve never been an occupied country, all they do is occupy other countries and loot them in the name of “freedom”

Assuming by your tone/phrasing that you’re not American - I hope your country never needs NATO assistance in the future. But thanks for the blind generalization of an entire country and its citizens.

What freedom to make and buy Starbucks? When was the last war on US soil?

I do just want to say, not all military spouses act like this :) some of them are pretty cool

Thank you!! My daughter is a military spouse and NOT like this!

Military spouses can be cool people, saying as I was raised by one, but asking for free products and services is ridiculous! If they’ve joined their spouse in dangerous places and lived on post for 20+ years, then I feel they can ask for free items.

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.

It was really hard to get through some of these. Just wanted to reach through the phone and flick these people in the forehead and hope it triggers some lightbulbs to turn on.

I actually want to post something for free now JUST so I can laugh at the entitled requests I get!

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.

If you're just nice you might things for free: I messaged a lady that lived in the same village about a wardrobe she was giving away but when she gave the measurements I realised it wouldn't fit in the car. I explain it nicely and apologised profusely for wasting her time. 10 min later she messaged me back saying that if I could wait a few days her husband would have their pickup truck back from the garage and would deliver and they'd help me put it together!

Here is my complaint. You spend $1,000's on training and college to be in the IT field, just to have your parents always asking for tech support, without so much as a thank you! But, borrow $5 from them and they will NEVER forget it!
- 3 years ago
Not even a thank you? C**p, miserly and no manners. I think you've earned the right or privilege to tell them, "Sorry, not a good time, but you can call [name of company] for tech support."

It's almost a guarantee that offering anything for free is going to attract #karens and #kens the way sh*t attracts flies. At least flies are happy with just what's available though...

Reminds me of a time my wife and I were out and about. Guy comes up to us saying he is starving and has no money. One of us offers to give him £5 for a sandwich and a drink from a cafe over the road. He tells us he is banned from there so we offer to go in and get it for him. He declines saying he wants money for a KFC instead. We decline, tell him that if he was so desperate for food he would not be so picky and walk off. Heard him badger someone else for money as we walked away.

There was an animal/environmental charity sending out free activity packs to try and engage more children a while ago. It was just a little pack with a guide to spotting wildlife, a picture to colour in, tips to be more environmentally conscious etc. Several parents were complaining they hadn’t received their packs within x days, their children were upset and they needed the pack to entertain them during school holidays blah blah blah. It’s FREE, you’ve not even paid a penny towards it. It annoyed me so much that I had to comment even though I’m nothing to do with the charity. I hate that kind of attitude with a passion.
