Person Online Inquires “What Screams ‘I Am Entitled?’”, And 30 People Provide Their Answers
Many people like perks. No, not like that. Many people enjoy being entitled, or at least just feeling entitled. Even if they do not have any slightest reason to feel a bit better than others at something, they will just come up with a reason.
This happens especially often, for example, in the service sector, where people who for some reason feel "entitled" help themselves to much more than the boundaries of decency allow. Sometimes one look at a person is enough to understand that they are entitled as hell.
And sometimes it's not. So Reddit users shared their stories about how they had to interact with these categories of entitled people, and how to recognize them easily. The thread came out very popular with almost 2K upvotes and more than 2.3K various comments. Bored Panda has created an incredibly entitled curated list for you with a selection of the most interesting stories from this thread.
So feel free to scroll down, leave your comments - and just try to never be like the heroes of these "entitled-persons-and-where-to-find-them" stories.

People who are against abortion but then don’t give a s**t if the kid is taken care of.
This. so many unwanted children living a sad life just because the mother had to give birth to them. If only the pro-lifers were as good at adopting them as they are at calling women who had abortions murderers.. being unwanted may not impact your body but it kills your soul.
Treating service workers like c**p.
Acting as if your religious rules and customs should apply to anybody else.
People use the phrase "It's just a child!" to excuse their child's s***ty behavior. When the zoo says "Don't tap the glass, it stresses the animal" that means your f**kball child needs to knock it off.
Parents need to pay more attention to stop that behavior so they don't have to make excuses for it
Kids make honest mistakes. I calmly explain why they need to change their behaviour and it generally works well. So they're obviously not idiots, just inexperienced.

Thankfully I'm not one of those parents, if there has been trouble in my kids friendship group the first question I ask is what did my kid do? Never think that your kid is an angel.
lol I love when parents say "my kid is an angel" I think "well, Lucifer is an angel, look how that turned out"

Worse is when they say ‘he/she is my baby, they wouldn’t hurt a fly( referencing their 25 year old robbing / beating up someone on camera)
It's just an entitled brat who will grow up to be an entitled adult. Parents, for goodness sake...discipline your child.
King Herod had it nailed. Children are, in all respects, unpleasant, unnecessary and badly designed. A bit like a Tesla.
Parents who excuse their childrens’ violent behaviour as “just being boys.” I have a boy and he wouldn’t dream of hurting someone on purpose or breaking another child’s toys.
When I see a badly behaved child my first thought is, "that poor kid doesn't stand a chance with parents like that."
I think it's a little more complicated than that. If I'm seeing a parent that does an honest (or even better several) attempt to discipline/restrain their kid and fails, what I'm thinking it's exactly that, it's just a child and maybe in this moment, boredom, stress, tiredness or whatever is taking its toll, and a child has not the same impulse/emotional control as an adult. But if a parent lets their kid do whatever they want without caring about rules and other people, using the "it's just a child" excuse, this is entitlement.
That's when I say something to the parents. If they don't stop their kid, I will be Karen and ask them if they'd like to discuss it with one of the zoo staff. Teach your kid to respect animals.
How about 'boys will be boys' to excuse abusive behavior to girls. Drive over the speed limit; cheat at - - - - - -.
Is that yours? I really think you shouldn't bring your macaque the the zoo.
or screaming children running around in a restaurant (or a train for that matter). yes they are kids, yes they want to play. but also 1) they should be able to sit still for a few minutes, have a calm conversation with their parents/siblings, eat their food in a reasonable volume 2) you should bring them some toy to play with so that they do not need to bother other ppl. with their noice. Only exceptions are babies and toddlers, but then it is up to you to calm them down if it is too much, maybe to consider leaving earlier, taking them out for a while... if the child does not like it there and is constantly screaming maybe even consider not going there... I mean not always it all works perfectly and ppl need to have some tolerance but to just let your children run around and scream and not to tell them anything, just shrugging your shoulders saying "they are kids" is just bad parenting
If parents aren't going to hold their children accountable, how can they expect their children act properly? If it's the parent's lack of teaching that leads to the child's misdeed, punish the parent on an ADULT level.
If an adult did that, they'd get arrested, flat out. Your behavior will determine your child's.
No one said it's easy. But "it's not easy" isn't a reason to let your kids run wild.

Military wives that expect to be saluted or have the same treatment as their husbands. Or brag about their rank.
People who purposely cause messes at restaurants, movie theatres, etc. because "someone else will clean it up" or its "their jobs to clean it up". Spills happen, but people who start food fights or just throw their beverages/food are terrible
People who cut in line
Ugh yesssss especially when they ignore you when you stand up for them
when they do something to you and think it’s fine but when you do it in return and they freak out
Those shiny, niche cars taking up two parking spaces.
Those shoppers who trash boutique dressing rooms.
Those shoppers who take items (especially frozen ones) and ditch them in canned goods.
Screaming at children working at retail/fast food/starter positions at jobs.
People who don't pick up after their dogs and throw cigarette butts on the ground
I give mine to the crows to smoke, while they play cards on the rooftops.
Generally just leaving something for someone else to deal with
Incessant whining over shared inconveniences. For example, person goes to the DMV to find a 90 minute wait. Everyone else that arrived around the same time as them is also having to wait 90 minutes. But this person just. Won’t. Shut. Up about it. Like dude, we get it. It sucks. Literally no one is enjoying this experience. You’re not entitled to any faster service than anyone else, and bitching about it isn’t going to change that.
People who don't return their shopping cart.
This is how I judge people. Are you willing to take 30 seconds to do a small act that will make other people’s lives easier? No? Not your problem? Ok cool, noted. Definitely noted.
People that talk over you after you waited your turn/the mood called for someone to add to the convo.
Always these days. I haven’t said anything with them because of how much I get interrupted every 3 seconds.
When you say no to someone and then they act like a child
“Ummm yo I have the right to rip your hijab but you don’t have the right to scream back”.
real story
The world will be a better place when different people of different religions don’t harass each other because of their beliefs
I'm a gas station worker and when people don't say please or thank you, when they're on the phone(mostly when they're VERY loud). When they walk in, dont even look at you, practically throw the money at you and say "20 on pump 5" and walk out.
OH! And when there's only one person there, we have to close our store for lunch. We have a very polite worded sign on the door. I'll be walking with my food to the back and they try and bang on the door, put their arms up like "what the f**k?? You're not going to serve me??"
And there's literally another gas station kitty corner to us.
Edit to clarify: where I'm from(Sacramento, California) you pay at the pump with card and pump gas yourself. I'm not stopping most people from getting gas by taking my lunch(ONLY thing that stops people from getting gas is if they're paying with cash, but most people don't. There's no discount at my store by paying with cash rather than card)
The only thing they can't get is cigarettes, beer and snacks. But as I stated, there is another gas station right across the street.
I am also entitled to a lunch, just as every other worker in America.
All their problems are always someone else’s fault, never their own.
Sign of an abuser. “She did it! She drove me to hit her!” No a*****e, she didn’t. You chose to hit her, instead of walking away and cooling down.
I work as a ticket seller for a ski resort.
My favorite entitled person is the guy who, upon finding out that the kids lesson was sold out, offered to pay extra if I would kick someone elses kid out so his kid could have a spot.
Using or taking other people's stuff without asking for their permission.
When I was a cop in the 90s I heard, "my taxes pay your salary" to which I would reply, "my taxes do as well"
Impatience in situations where it should be just universally understood that you need patience.
People who don’t clean up after themselves
I had old school parents. While some of their methods aren’t accepted anymore (spanking), a lot of the lessons they taught me should continue to be taught. Things like “leave it the way you found it”, “put it back where you found it”, “if you borrow something, give it back promptly and in the same condition it was given to you”, “always clean up after yourself”, “if it’s not yours, always ask permission before touching it”, “always say please and thank you, as well as ma’am and sir”, “don’t run and yell in public”, “stay in your seat when we’re out in a theatre or restaurant”, etc. Now, when I was little—-I’m 61 now, so I’m talking about the 1960s—-there were kids who would run and scream in a restaurant, and kids who would totally destroy the toy section in a store, so those aren’t new problems. But teaching your children about common courtesy, manners, and how to act around other people is as old as time—-and valuable. Antisocial kids become antisocial adults.

Doctors who act like the pain is all in your head. Or you have a reaction to their treatment that they've "never heard of before". Or behave as if getting sick is somehow your fault.
Ok I would just like to add to this list: phone etiquette. If someone’s showing you something, don’t take their phone unless they say you can hold it. Also, my mom taught me it’s rude to look at someone’s phone if they don’t invite me to, so obvs it would be that way for my little bro right? Nope! If I’m doing something like texting or anything if he wants to look and I say no he gets mad at me and my parents tell him he’s fine to watch, but I can’t look at their phone, no sir! Uhgggg
for me it's people that donate to something, then expect special treatment for it. You DONATED. If you want special services, you PAY for them.
You don't have kids, you don't understand how hard it is! Oh but I do, hence I don't have kids. Seems to me, you're the one going in blind.
