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
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.
I know it's terrible! like I've literally seen a shopping cart in a parking space at Walmart, and that parking space was DIRECTLY next to the place you're supposed to put them!

What about people standing in the middle of the aisle having conversations, or leaving their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle while they walk to another aisle to grab something? Both are super annoying.
What about the people that act like their shopping carts are like a human bulldozer? Had it happen today at Wal-Mart. This lady was prepared to hit anyone in her way. If I didn't step back I would have been floor pizza.

i confess: i sometimes don't take the cart to the corral or store after using because being disabled makes it hard. i try to park by a corral so i can use a cart to lean on to get in and out of the store. especially when there is ice and snow
Not being able to return the cart (especially on ice) is very different from not returning the cart to the proper spot due to laziness or an attitude of "it's not my job". Don't blame yourself for this one.

in my country shopping carts can only be used by inserting a coin (which you get back after returning the cart), so literally EVERYONE returns them. I've never seen a cart out of place.
Interesting and people who dont care about the coin basically give their coin to someone else who will.

These people spend 30 minutes walking around the store with the cart, stand in the check out for 15 minutes with the cart, wheel the cart 100 feet to their car, and then leave the cart in the parking lot 15 feet from the cart corral.
yep, that's me. those last 15 feet are just too much. well to be honest the previous 100 ft were too much too, as were the 30 min walking around, but welcome to being disabled in America with lack of support services, and during a pandemic

Man, this grips my s***! If I see stray carts I collect them up and return them. What is wrong with people?
I was at Walmart yesterday with my little sister and we were returning our cart. There were so many carts unreturned, just spread all over the parking lot. We returned the ones closest to the cart return, since we were in a hurry, but my goodness.
Or leave them smack bang in the middle of the isle while they wander over somewhere else to browse.
I have severe mobility impairment. If I use a shopping cart, I'm having to support myself with the cart just to move about. If I return the cart, I'm not able to walk back to my car without the cart.
I'm disabled and I try usually... but if they make the return far away, I'll push it to a point that it's not in the way... I'll never leave them in the way of cars. If the store doesn't conveniently place them, they don't want for people to take time to put them up. I'm already in pain when I enter the store. By the time I get out and get my car loaded, I can barely walk usually. What I really can't stand is when people throw them in the corral and get them all jumbled up... like, they fit together if you aim them correctly. 5 carts shouldn't fill up the corral. There's room for 20+ if you put them in correctly.
Especially ones who leave their cart in a handicapped parking space. Ugh. Lowest tier of hell.
Eh, I kind of enjoyed this. I had the choice at the end of the night either collecting carts or moping one half of a large store with my partner. I'd be at the door with my outdoor gear waiting and nobody ever volunteered to be my partner.
To be fair, if you are disabled or injured, or otherwise have mobility issues, stores need to make it easy to park your shopping cart near your car. It may have been all you could do to manage getting through the aisles. Granted, this is probably not most people, but you can't see if someone has a heart condition, or intense chronic pain.
I'd say this one depends slightly on whether or not you're taking public transportation to get to/from places
That's why I like channels as Cart Narcs, who expose these culprits politely but also persistently with a humorous approach.
Well aren't you all a bunch of judgy f***s? You don't know why someone isn't returning their cart. 1st off, most places have employees to gather them. I never return mine. I'm disabled and it's all i can do to get through a shopping trip most days. By the time i get my groceries and my self in the car, i'm exhausted and running on fumes. I usually have to sit there for a few minutes, in pain and exhaustion before i have enough energy to get myself home. Then i often don't have enough energy to take all my groceries in that day. There's been many an occasion where my produce sat in the car or on the kitchen counter. But i always stash the cart where it's not in the way. What's REALLY shitty, is the people who think empty disabled parking spots are the appropriate place to stash their empty cart! It's not fun being disabled and having to move 4 carts out of the way before you can park in the "convenient" disabled spot.
It's not to help the corporation you numpty, it's to help each other and like those who mentioned above that they are less abled and may not be able to hunt all over for a trolley. Also, you may have noticed that a lot of entitled brats are now refusing jobs such as the ones you mentioned as they see themselves above it, or won't work unless they can work from home.

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.
