45 Times Entitled People Got Shamed For Ruining Christmas With Their Attitude (New Pics)
While the winter holidays are said to be one of the happiest times of the year, gathering all family members and lifting the spirits up, not everyone is eager to share the joy with others.
In fact, some people make it hard for everyone around them by killing all the Christmas spirit. Blame it on their attitude problems or call them real-life Grinches, but the level of entitlement you see in this post is almost illegal.
Scroll down through the list of cases when people tried ruining the holidays like they did not exist and keep in mind that it’s not that easy. More petty ways entitled people tried stealing Christmas can be found in our previous post right here.

Selling A Used Imac For 1200$, Woman Asks “How Low” I Would Sell It For, Or If I’d Take 800 And Some Jewelry She Makes. Oh And I Also Ruined Christmas
Charlotte 3 years ago
Has that line ever worked in the history of choosing beggars? Boo hoo, you ruined my kids birthday/Christmas/Hannukah. Has anyone ever gone "oh okay, in that case I'll come bring you this item personally, wrapped in gold paper, at half the price"?
Sonja 3 years ago
People like that are often surrounded by lots of enablers and boat stablers within their family who bend backwards to 'keep the peace'. They're very surprised when they encounter strangers who disrupt their own headcannon of being the worlds main character because they're used of their families just giving in to their demands

I told her she should've just kept her friggen legs closed.

A three year old is not guaranteed kid safe. It's still learning about the world and liable to find new ways to play up. It may not mean harm, but even a small pony is a strong animal.

It's only just old enough for light work and training.

Then there's the use of the word "need" for seasonal decorative frivolity. I like holiday decorations, don't misunderstand (I don't have any up right now due to cats), but there is no threat to life or health if you don't have them, thus not what I'd call a "need".

OMG, this is a trip down memory lane. I got one of these packages!! I was 7, and didn’t know what Operation Santa even was, and now that I think about it, this was probably when my parents were struggling most financially. I got a watch, a necklace, a lollipop the size of my head, and a couple other things. The address on the package was 123 Elf Road, North Pole. Gosh, I felt like the most special kid in the world!

I kinda do think it's awful. Maybe I'm just ornery but my hackles go right up when someone thinks they get to decide how much of my money I'm going to spend and dictate exactly what I buy as a gift. A gift is at the discretion of the purchaser. While it is ideally something that the gift receiver wants, it is incredibly rude to be so demanding not to mention the entitlement it is teaching to the child. I wouldn't be mad if I got a text saying , "Hey, this is what she wants", but I'll be damned if I'm gonna let somebody dictate what I'm gonna do. I work for the money, I get to decide what I spend it on.

I don't find this entitled... It's a 'mare having a kid whose birthday is just after Christmas and the obvious "regifts" you get are dreadful. I suspect it's because people don't have any money. For birthday parties we used to say gifts were welcome but not necessary. Having a list of who is buying what for which occasion is really useful - it wasn't about money, more about getting gifts they actually wanted.

Every year my husband and I would drop off a new, unwrapped toy to a local church that gave them out to those in need. We always tried to get something really nice. One year it was a large, remote control monster truck with working headlights and realistic sound. It took a lot of batteries so we included those also. Months later my husband was talking to a friend who was with an acquaintance of theirs. He was talking about the church and donations and the acquaintance said "oh, we go there every year and pick up some extra gifts for the kids." My husband said "extra"? She replied, "Sure. We get them the big stuff and then we get some other toys there for them to unwrap. I mean...they're free so why not?" WTF?????

He asked what the Giving Tree was for, I explained and he asked to donate and how much could spend. He chose toys he and his little sister would enjoy to donate. He had zero expectation of "getting something as a reward for being kind". Instead, he asked me to help him choose or make gifts for all his cousins, aunties and uncles.

Complaining that a corporate reward scheme doesn't send everyone the same items/value of items for reaching a designated number of points is perfectly valid. If Pelaton's corporate policy is "all customers get a free gift when they hit 15000 minutes" then they obviously should ensure that free gift is the same for everyone.

I Honestly Don’t Even Know What To Say For This One
ginny weasley 3 years ago
Honestly I get this kid. Dad brings in a new wife and step kid and then money likely saved by the deceased mom and dad specifically for this kid to get an education is taken and used on the new step kid, leaving the son with nothing does suck a lot. The real problem is of course the broken American healthcare system, but Dad should have exhausted every other option before essentially stealing from his son. Not being able to go to college or being stuck with crippling debt is a handicap for life. Also a result of the broken American system. But I don't think he is wrong to be mad at his parent. HE didn't marry the woman or her kid and yet HE ends up bearing a large consequence because of his father's actions and the father refuses to acknowledge that.
Rebelliousslug 3 years ago
I’m amazed at how much info you got from this entry that I missed. Like how the dad didn’t exhausted every option before choosing to spend his money and how the father never acknowledged that the kids had a right to be upset. If the money has been saved by the mother alone, the kid would’ve definitely mentioned that in their rant as it would bolster their argument. You’re not very good at reading between the lines.

have to agree w ginny. if this money was set aside for a particular person; then it was used on the new spouses kid. i would be resentful too, esp if the marriage failed. seems tome that the parent at least owed it to his own child to ask if it was acceptable to give up his future.

There's a supermarket in the UK called Marks and Spencer. It's higher end, quite a bit more expensive, slightly better quality. On Christmas Eve, they reduce a lot of the prepacked food, to less than half price. Then the predatory behaviour begins. The middle class, middle aged women with their white BMWs and Audis (very able to afford anything they want at full price) begin to gether around the "reduced price" section. They lurk, circling the aisles, waiting to pounce. Then the underpaid supermarket worker appears, the least experienced, the newest member of staff. (the older, more experienced colleagues, bearing the scars of previous years, unwilling to suffer once again) unaware of the carnage about to be visited upon them. They take the slightly better quality products, close to the "use by" date. And start to label them with bright yellow stickers "HALF PRICE". This is the signal, this is the golden beacon of calling, for the middle class, middle aged ladies to attack.

There is a local Disney group I'm part of and a lady was asking for help to pick up from the parks. I told her I'm at a park and see if they have the item in the gift shop. They did! It was a fairly large plush and I only have a carry on + personal item I'm flying with, so we worked out she would pay price of item & taxes +$10 for me picking it up and it using so much of my luggage space. I was super happy to help someone since my trip was bittersweet. I got home and became sick the next day. A few days later she offered to pick up since I couldn't go out. I disinfected my hands prior to handling the plush and put it in front of my door, she slipped the money under my door. She texted thank you but noticed a spot. I'm like, I did not notice that when picking it out. Hope your kid loves it regardless! She texted ...
