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.

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.

I always assume they have no self-awareness and don’t realize other people can see them driving, and other people are using them to judge distance/timing. I genuinely think it’s either an intelligence or self-awareness problem.

Or if you try to pass them they speed up. And if you succeed at passing them, they speed up to pass you and then slow down. Sometimes they’re real assholes and they block you from moving into another lane.

I guess people feel they don’t have to bother with the rules of the road anymore. Stop signs and red lights seem to be just a suggestion now too. I always think of people drive like selfish d***s, that’s how they are in the rest of their lives.

We're not in there (your head) with ya, dimwit. Turn signals are how you let other drivers know where you're about to put your large hunk of rolling metal (mostly plastic). Maybe if driving was the ONLY thing you were doing while driving you'd be able use your turn signals.

Yes also what I’ve grown up being told is called a “California lane change” where you change multiple lanes at once without a pause. I’m in Canada so especially in the winter it’s pretty dangerous and we don’t even have that many lanes to change through

Person Online Inquires “What Screams ‘I Am Entitled?'”, And 30 People Provide Their Answers 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.

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.
