Karma
Don’t we all love it when Karma kicks in.
I love flying and always try for a window seat to watch the view outside while taking off and landing.
One day I walked to my aisle to see two ladies dressed impeccably in my seat and the middle seat leaving only the aisle seat vacant. I politely advised that they were in the wrong seats and was told “I meant to ask for a window seat”! Clearly with no intention to move.
A flight attendant asked was everything OK, to be told by the window lady that she wanted the window and was not moving. To ease the situation I told the Flight Attendant that I will simply take the aisle seat. She was very grateful.
I sat down, their scent was wonderful but across the aisle drifted the scent of a very dirty and smelly young man in his 20’s. He smelt like he had not had a shower for a week. I thought what a trip this will be !!!!
Then the young man leaned out and waved to his mate about 6 ailses forward. I still remember his name and it is at least 10 years ago..”HEY JACKO”…was the call to is mate.”
I had a rare brainwave, I asked the same flight attendant if I could swap with this gentlemans friend so they could fly together be it across an aisle. She had clearly smelt them both and said to me with a smile “That will not be a problem”. As I swapped seats with Jacko, I noticed he was at least as smelly. as I left my seat I turned to the ladies and simply said “enjoy your flight”!!!
I told the lady next to the seat where I moved about it and and I seriously thought she was going to wet herself because she laughed so hard having already experienced Jacko for just a few minutes.
At the core of it all, entitled people expect special treatment or recognition for something that they didn’t earn. Put simply, they believe that the world “owes them without giving anything in return,” Verywell Mind explains.
What’s more, these individuals tend not to be grateful, independent, or self-sufficient. And their behavior puts a lot of stress on their relationships.
People with a sense of entitlement tend to believe that they deserve to have far more than they already have in life, no matter how good things might already be.
“They expect to elevate their lifestyle above that of others without putting in the effort needed to do so."
Roommate Tossed Out My Childhood Stuffed Animal
All my housemates know my plushy is my comfort animal. Last night Groot got to go swimming in the machine. My housemates kept changing his position on the radiator to dry him out properly. These are the housemates you want and need.
How could anyone do that? What the fûck, if someone threw out my stuffies I’d bash them around the head with a cement block
I've thought about this a lot and have decided that making holes in one of each pair of shoes is a long term game with long term pain for them.

Some People Don’t Deserve Children!
I was on a flight from San Francisco to New York, in a window seat, and a man in a business suit sat down in the aisle seat and then put his 3 year old son in the middle seat. As soon as we took off and we’re allowed to put our tray tables down, the man took out his laptop and told the little boy to keep quiet and not bother him or me. I said it was okay if he talked to me. The poor child had no games or toys to distract him not even any snack. It was before smart phones and before we could select individual movies. What was he supposed to do on a 4 hour flight? I played games with him, talking very softly to avoid annoying mean Dad. The man didn’t tell me to stop, so I had fun with the little guy until we deplaned. I shared a snack I’d brought with him, and I drew pictures for him on my legal pad (I was on a business trip). His father never said another word to his son. Nor did he thank me, but the sweet little boy did and gave me a hug. Some people don’t deserve children!
Aw lucky lad had such a caring seat neighbour I would do same kids deserve to have fun not feeling like a burden
The only part I would've done differently is NOT speak quietly. I'd make darn sure the so-called father was annoyed by my antics for the entire 4 hours.
People like this should be CALLED OUT for this rubbish behaviour, why would you say nothing after all that?????
It may have had negative repercussions for the child. Imagine publicly embarrassing such a self-absorbed moron in public. He would likely blame the child for causing him embarrassment since he could never accept that it was his own actions that were the cause. He's the type that likely resents the child's very existence.

Someone had to say it. If you have children then good on you and I hope they have a nice life. Don't automatically expect different treatment because of your choices 👍🏻
When I was a kid I didn't always get what I asked for. Sometimes you have to deal with disappointment.
Oh, you didn't tell me you had a Sob Story, that changes everything! The price just doubled.
We know who's ruined these kids' Christmas this year. And all the other ones too.
I’m a single mother 14 yrs of after divorce , n my kids have always had Xmas pressies ,no matter what , why does this entitled s k a n k think she’s so much better than feast of us , eugh
Furthermore, entitled folks think that other people should do things for them because of who they are or the wealth and power they’ve already got. What’s more, they don’t tolerate others disagreeing with them or their actions.
People with a sense of entitlement are selfish and always put their needs over everyone else’s. The poetic irony is that they still expect you to put your personal needs aside to tend to theirs.
Who Does That?
This can't be the first red flag that she's not an appropriate housemate. I'd be looking for something new - either a new flat or a new flat mate.

Where do some parents get off thinking the world owes them simply bc they're breeders? Your kids need braces? Then go to your local convenience store and purchase a burner for $50 and put the $335 towards them.
Meanwhile, entitlement also means that the person lacks gratitude, is often melodramatic, takes things for granted, is greedy, has a victim mentality, and has a constant need for praise and admiration.
When things don’t go their way, they’re not above causing a big, dramatic scene and might try to bring others down to make themselves look better.
Underneath all of this behavior, some entitled individuals are secretly very insecure. All of this arrogance and fake confidence can be their way of bluffing and covering up their fears.

I can’t stand when other Christians act like this. On average, most people sin everyday. I love when my pastor calls out judgmental Christians and chastises how they act when they go to a restaurant after church. Had premarital s*x, got drunk, lied, yell at someone driving, not loving your brother, etc are all sins most have committed. Some of the more devout Christians I know are gay.
My ex's father once told me he was unhappy that his son and I were living together but weren't married. I looked him right in the eye and said, "My dude, you've been divorced twice and you're on your third marriage."
Load More Replies...I so love how some Christians dip into the Old Testament when it suits their non-Christian views. Hey, you jerks love the OT so much, then have at it. All of it. Live your lives according to every single paragraph. Then you'll have a valid reason to be such miserable specimens.
Homosexuality isn't contrary to nature. Throwing a hissyfit over it is.
The "God's law" is debatable, especially if you don't say which god. "Against nature" is not debatable: thousands of animals of various species have been recorded to mate with partners of the same séx, sometimes even bonding exclusively that way for life. Where are they supposed to have gotten that notion?
Entitlement doesn’t appear out of thin air. How a person was raised, how much special treatment they were given as a child, and whether they were spoiled are all important factors. What’s more, entitlement isn’t necessarily linked to just privilege. Someone who was denied things in the past might think that the world now ‘owes’ them something for all their past hurts.
Overcoming your sense of entitlement won’t happen overnight. But the good news is that you can change your behavior patterns with enough persistence, time, and effort.
For one, you have to admit that you may be entitled. Then, accept the fact that life is unfair and that the world doesn’t actually owe you anything. What you can do is make the best of your life and be grateful for what you already have. But complaining about what you think you deserve isn’t healthy.
“I Will Pray For You”
I was comfortably settled in my window seat, book in hand, anticipating the rest and relaxation my well-deserved vacation would bring. As my seat mate approached, I was struck by the six-inch rhinestone cross that hung from her neck. She began piling books atop the tray table, one of which was entitled, How to Convert Atheists.
Within a matter of minutes, the dreaded question was propounded. “Have you heard the good news?” I enthusiastically answered, “I have! The Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is legal in all fifty states. The Catholic Church is losing members faster than you can say pedophile priests and televangelists are being exposed for their fraudulent practices and extramarital affairs.” Before she could respond, I pointed to her book, looked her directly in the eye, and stated unambiguously, “Don’t even think about it.”
I returned to my book and suddenly heard, “I will pray for you.” To which I responded, “Knock yourself out, dear, just do it silently.”
I always thought that I would. When it happened to me (outside of my professional hours) I was surprised that I found myself listening for something that I could relate to. I did pick up on the value of gratitude. I expressed that I found the statement beautiful and its message was similar to preachings of other faiths regarding being grateful. This person looked gobsmacked and quickly made haste. If ya dont wanna talk to me about God then don't talk to me about the gods.
Load More Replies...I fired an employee because she not only disobeyed specific orders/procedures, she had been trying to convert me. Her parting words were, "I'll pray for you", and I said, "as long as it's on your time, I don't care what you do", and slammed the door in her face.

“Don’t Say Anything”
Last year, I was on a flight from New York to Europe, somewhere about half way over the Atlantic, a passenger came from Economy Class and sat down behind me. I was falling asleep, and I had my seat reclined. He taps me on the shoulder and then I see his head pop up, he tells me “Don’t say anything.”
There were lots of empty seats behind me, I really just wanted to sleep. So I did not answer him and just shut my eyes. I think an hour passed, and I heard commotion behind me. This man had asked for a blanket, and had several drinks. Apparently, he still was not noticed, it was only after he began complaining about bad service that they figured out he did not even belong in the seat.
He was trying to pull a fast one now, and stated his seat had been taken by me. Well, the cabin crew never even asked me, as they knew he was out of place. He refused to leave and fastened his seat belt. Backup came and they gave him two options either he comply of they would remove him by force and might get him arrested when we landed. The idea of being arrested did not change much for him.
He started yelling, and at this point we all had enough of it. Two other passengers began telling him to go back to economy as he would just end up with all kinds of issues if he did not. He now asked for another drink to “Think about it.” A burly, staff member came and then another. They gave him one last chance to get up and go back. He still did not move an inch. He began telling them, there were so many seats empty, and that he should be given one.
It seems the airline did not want to appear to be brutal in front of all of us. They gave in, and gave the man a drink and backed down. This really seemed to make a lot of people angry in the cabin. As Breakfast was served, an older man would comment to a Flight Attendant that he would do the same thing and never pay extra for Cabin Upgrades if the Airline just allowed people to sit down and make a claim.
The Flight Attendant laughed, and said “No you would not do any such thing, just wait for an hour and see.” Well, I realized that seat grabber’s bravado, was going to get him into a situation on arrival. He was laughing the whole time, and enjoying his larger seat, and was ordering drink after drink. It seems they knew quite well, that his problems were only getting worse. As now he was a drunken passenger as well. When we landed, he was the first person to disembark with escorts, It seems he had a welcoming committee waiting for him. For a couple of hours of getting his way, he lost far more than he gained.
No the one he wanted m but he was meant to be in economy not first class lol it did say that x

Load More Replies...Another way to put a dent in your sense of entitlement is to focus on other people’s needs, not just your own. Try to find ways to help others without expecting anything in return.
In the meantime, learn to distinguish between your needs and wants. When you confuse the two, it’s hard to make healthy decisions because you want more than you need. Try to hone in on what you truly need, and control what you can instead of focusing on what you can’t influence.
A Scammer Trying To Get Money From The Airline
Not initially my reaction - but what the person did …
So I was on a plane and the guy seated next to me was in a very nice suit- right away ai am suspicious (even the CEO of my company - always in a nice suit- wears “travel clothes”).
So when the flight attendant was serving drinks, he requested more hot water in his tea- as she is pouring, he moves the cup and his hand- he got literally at most 2 tablespoons of water on his hand before she reacted and stopped pouring..
Immediately he screams out “You poured hot water on my hand and I am in pain!”
Not rehearsed, right???
My immediate thought “Oh, a scammer trying to get money from the airline.”
She immediately apologized and offered him medical attention.
“No - none of you are qualified!”
She assured him that every flight attendant must be fully trained in emergency medical care, first aid, etc.
“No! I will only accept the care of a medical doctor! No one else is allowed to touch me! And I demand you have one here taking care of my hand the moment we land!!”
The hand - the one with no blisters or even a red spot - that hand.
So she goes to arrange all of this - he looks at me and says “Give me your name - I want you as a witness.”
I said ,”Well - ok - But you know that I will testify truthfully that you refused all medical care offered.”
He immediately lost all interest in talking with me….
You should have added that you’ll be happy to relant what happened to the airline lawyers.
What you should've done is you should've gone along with it and testified against him lol
"I'm a doctor. Let me treat your burn." Then shove both his hands in the toilet.
People do wear suits and other decent business attire while traveling.... not everyone thinks its cool to go out in public in pajamas.
I think going from "travelling clothes" to pjs is a bit of a leap. Just because you're not wearing dressy clothes doesn't mean you're in pjs. Just something more comfortable for a long flight. Maybe a track suit of jeans and a sweater. Those are not horrible choices.

Load More Replies...Not A Babysitter
On a flight within Asia (where one often gets better customer service than in the West) a woman asked the flight attendant to care for her toddler because he was fussy and she needed to get some sleep. The flight attendant was, not surprisingly, temporarily at a loss for words then responded “I’m responsible for the safety and wellbeing of everyone on board, not a babysitter.” The passenger pouted and whined “What can I do then?” A fellow passenger replied that she needed to step up as a parent or travel with a nanny. The flight attendant smiled her thanks.
That's like going grocery shopping and asking another customer or store clerk to help me carry my bags home out of the kindness in their hearts. You did the deed, now you're stuck with the results. Be an adult and accept your fate.

Boundaries are essential in all relationships to keep them healthy and balanced. And dealing with entitled individuals is no exception. However, things can be emotionally messy when that particular individual is a close loved one, like your own child.
According to psychologist and author Jeffrey Bernstein, Ph.D., entitled adult children often expect their parents to rescue them from the consequences of their own decisions.
However, he notes in a piece on Psychology Today, as a parent, you have to remember that encouraging independence and enforcing boundaries is healthy.
As per Bernstein, it’s “never too late to reclaim your peace” and to encourage your child “to grow into the adult they’re capable of becoming.” It’s not selfish to want your relationship with your child to be based on respect and balance.

In fact, almost everyone in America is an immigrant, the country was illegally stolen. So at this point in the story, you should keep your mouth shut.
I don't disagree with the general sentiment, but to be accurate, many of us were born here and are thus not immigrants. Most of our ancestors were recent immigrants (some were colonizers/invaders). But that doesn't make us immigrants.

E) Blueshirts didn't even say anything (likely didn't want to waste his time and breath, and Karens don't listen well anyway), and I'm willing to bet if he sat down you'd be complaining about his laziness.
In most of Latin America it is referring to a white American or Canadian, but it can refer to any white person of an English speaking nationality. In theory it can be any white foreigner, but I've never heard an Italian, French, German, etc person referred to as a Gringo. Also its intended offensiveness is varied across countries. In my country, it is considered very offensive, but it is often used as a jest or term of endearment between friends or lovers. Not something I'd feel comfortable wearing on a shirt.

“But I Want To Sit In First!”
I was settled into my aisle seat in First, and a woman tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I would swap seats with her, so she could sit beside her husband who was in the window seat beside me.
I asked what seat she was in.
“22E”. Yeah.. middle seat in the back of the plane. In exchange for my first class seat.
I immediately burst out laughing, and when I composed myself I suggested that perhaps the person beside her in 22F or D would be happy to swap with her husband and come up to first class, then they could sit with each other in row 22.
“But I want to sit in first!”. Yeah honey, so do I. But unlike you, I actually have a ticket for it.

I think they did this on purpose. She thought that someone would give up their seat for her that she didn’t have to pay for.
"If you two want to sit together, I think both wings are still available."
My husband and I had seats together, but they split us up and he was across the aisle from me. The same thing happened to the couple sitting there and they asked if he would take the husband's upgraded place in premium. I have flight anxiety and we said we were hoping to be near each other. The person who was sitting next to me came up and he (not going to lie, I saw hope in his eyes), said he could take the other couples upgrade so my husband and I could sit together as could the other couple. Everyone was happy and the random stranger was thrilled that it worked out so wonderfully for him.
Bernstein notes that your grown children may be entitled if they constantly expect help from you, rarely show appreciation, and guilt-trip you when you tell them ‘no.’ This behavior can leave you feeling resentful, drained, and disrespected.
There are a few ways that you can tackle this behavior. For instance, you could make appreciation and gratitude requirements for your help. After all, your assistance is a gift, even if your entitled child sees it as their right.

Then I remembered the Air Force Base right across the bridge, once you mentioned it. Still a pain, but far better than going from Norfolk to DC.

Fat-Shaming
It was a very large person who bought a ticket in economy and took up half of my seat, expecting me to accept that I paid for a whole seat and had to squish into half a seat.
It was a short flight, so I just dealt and kept my mouth shut. But I decided that in the future I will talk with the flight attendant and insist that I get the entire seat I paid for. I do not wish to be cruel to the larger person, but the larger person’s decision to buy one seat or not to buy a 1st class ticket and take 1.5 seats was her choice to begin with. This has nothing to do with fat-shaming. It has to do with my being comfortable in a very expensive seat that I paid to enjoy.
I'm small so sometimes people assume they can share my seat. What they don't know is that I can fidget a lot and burp on command.
Can you add farting? A bonus would be to “fall asleep” and start snoring.
Load More Replies...I am admittedly fat and chose to avoid any situations where this could happen to me and has. I am very conscientious but do purposely avoid small seats since it makes me just as uncomfortable to have to fit in a small space. Stopped flying, going to concerts, or any venues that don't have the capacity to accomodate
Same here - though the last couple of times I did fly, I booked an aisle seat so that once airborne I could raise the armrest and expand in that direction instead of crushing my neighbour.
Load More Replies...OK, It's about time I was massively downvoted, so let me say this: There is a clear difference between being heavier to an extent that affects only you, and being heavier to an extent that impacts others. There were choices involved in getting to that size, and others have the right to comment adversely on them. Calling that fat-shaming merely legitimizes fat-shaming.
"Your right to swing your fist around ends, about an inch from my face"
Load More Replies...This is NOT an example of fat-shaming in the least. This is a case of a fat person thinking they're entitled to half of your seat - on your dime. I don't even fly, but even I know that coach seats do not accommodate overweight passengers. It's time they got the memo and coughed up the fare for 1st class or 2 coach seats.
This happened to me too. I ended up having to hang partway in to the aisle. The flight attendant was sympathetic but there was nowhere else to sit. I'm not a small person but at least I fit in the seat! The guy definitely should have had to buy 2 of them.
Been there :( Guy first tried to take my seat, but then went to his. And took half of mine as well. He was nice enough, actually, but we were both clearly uncomfortable.
Load More Replies...The sad thing is I've heard of people buying 2 seats for just that reason and then people get mad at them for that, too.
That's on the person that has a problem of someone paying for 2 seats. As long as I have my one seat, I have no say or opinion on how many seats someone else buys for a flight.
Load More Replies...Maybe I get this wrong, but what about the armrest? If you put it down, you have your own space.
It's a safety requirement that armrests must be down for take-off and landing, so hopefully it was. But legs and arms and shoulders can still be intrusive.

And if your entitled adult children make you feel guilty for setting basic boundaries, you should “hold the line without apology,” Bernstein writes. From his perspective, boundaries aren’t a form of rejection. Rather, they are “a form of healthy relationship repair.”
He urges parents to be “firm and kind” with their boundaries and to resist their kids’ attempts at manipulation, emotional pushback, and guilt-tripping.

Male Karen Complains That Ben Nevis (Great Britain’s Highest Mountain) Is Too Steep And Too High, And Leaves It A 1 Star Review
If only there was some way of telling, at a distance, how big and steep a mountain was. Something based on vision, perhaps. Perhaps there could also be a system where people also get an initial idea of their own fitness, and compare it to the difficulty of climbing a mountain. Finally, a 'what is the weather like' notification system could be combined into this, and a decision made as to whether a mountain climb is a good idea. Sadly, we will never live in such a high-tech utopia.../s

I Have Asked Her Politely To Stop Several Times Now And My Patience Has Expired
I’ve communicated how much it bothers me, and asked politely several times that she stop draping her fallen hairs on my products. Her shelf is always hair-free and pristine. I’m done asking, just collected every hair she left on my stuff and put in on top of her products. Petty?
My sister used to do this ALL THE TIME. I started using her toothbrush to remove the hair from the shower, and then leaving the hair on the toothbrush.
You did that wrong - wet that soap, drape the hair all over that instead. and since my dark passenger just reared his head, open her products and put the hair in there too.

I think boomers ended in 1965 so the youngest are turning 61.
Load More Replies...Boomers are way older than that, it was a Gen X. This is why I get so disgusted with everyone being called a boomer regardless of whether they are or not. It refers to people born in certain years, not bad habits which are encountered in all age ranges.
The post is 5 years old and not the original. "Ok boomer" became popular in the late 2010s, when boomers would have been aged around mid fifties to early seventies.
Load More Replies...This isn’t because he’s a boomer. It’s because he’s a self-important SOB. (I’m 66 and can’t support his attitudes.)
Yep, that sounds just like a typical Gen Xer. See how stupid that sounds? Here's a New Years resolution for you: let's cut out this generation nonsense. I'm old enough to know that every generation, when they're young, is as annoying as a loud facetime call on the subway. I was so obnoxious It's a wonder I made it out of my teens without getting beaten to death. I got fired from Walmart after 3 weeks. Do you know how much of a d******d you have to be to get fired by Walmart?! An old friend who became a wildly successful surgeon used to wear mismatched socks and thought farting in a crowded elevator was the height of comedy. Ok, he was right but still.

No it was a boomer, GEN X doesn't exist, please continue to ignore us.

Left My Apartment For About A Month Because Of Covid. Came Back To Find This, The AC Set To 40 * F, The Sink Running,the Back Door Wide Open And The Roommate Moved Out
More context from OP: " Backstory: so I live in 4x4 with 3 other dudes and the roommate that did the above was staying here off of a sublease another roommate had set up. Now he didn’t go through the proper channels, so he was basically paying rent to the roommate through cash app and the complex had no idea. Everyone else in the apartment had left to their hometowns because of covid except the s**t roommate. I think he did this in retaliation because we ended up getting a utilities bill while everyone was gone except him. Now we usually never go over our utilities cap, and when we do it’s only 5$ or so. The bill we each received was over 100$ and it was because he was running the AC at 60* while no one was there. We asked him to cough up the money because we weren’t there, so why should we? He reluctantly payed us, but afterwards blocked everyone and disappeared." (Continued in reply)
"A week later I show up to this beautiful mess. What’s worse is there’s really no way legally I can pin this to him as he only told us his fake name. Roommate who subleased never had anything in formal writing so we’re s**t out of luck. Also found out he stole my really nice toaster-oven aswell :( Edit. Forgot to mention this. He left the sink on in his room and locked the door and took the keys. I still haven’t been able to turn it off because the room he was staying in is technically not mine and the complex won’t let me in."
Load More Replies...Crowded Flight
On a very crowded flight from San Francisco to Hawaii I noticed a family with two kids under 3. They don’t let you sit with kids that age for some sort of safety rule. So Dad was sitting in one row with a baby and Mom was in a different row with an 18 month old kid who was raising hell and didn’t want to sit or be quiet.
This was the second leg of their trip. They had already been on a plane from NY to San Francisco. Mom got up with 18 month old and was walking back to the bathroom with him stiffening up like a board so he was hard to hold. I was sitting reading in my isle seat with my 15 year old son next to me. She looked at my son and said “I’ll pay you $20 if you will hold him for 10 minutes!”. My son reached out and took him and she went off to the bathroom.
When she came back my son said not to worry and the kid could just stay with him. The 18 month old seemed perfectly happy with my son and he kept him for an hour until we had to prepare for landing. She tried to pay him but he said don’t worry about it. When we got off the plane that family was waiting for us. Families with babies get to get off first. They had a huge white lei for my son! He was happy. They were happy. Everybody was happy!
apparently BP also grabbed some Quora posts about "you've gotta be kidding me" moments on planes, but again not seeing the problem here?
Even on a plane where no one can leave, I would not hand my 18mo child to a stranger for any reason.
When I was a baby, my mum left me as collateral at a petrol station because she forgot her purse. I found this out a few years ago and find it hilarious. Parenting in the 80s 🤷♀️

So is the complaint here that the nearly bedridden family member with cancer used her limited strength to eat and get to the toilet rather than to wash dishes, or that someone came over to her house and made a mess?
According to OP, it was the family members healthy roommate that was a slob.
Load More Replies...The full title was this: "Family member has cancer and no immune system, and is largely bed-ridden. We sanitized her whole house a few days ago. Came to pick her up and found this. Told her roommate to move the F out, immediately." Not sure why BP cut the full context from this and tried to frame someone with cancer as the problem. Even if this was the person with cancer's mess, they were mostly bedridden. This wouldn't be entitlement, it would be a sign they desperately need help.
Unless you click through the comments, you don't get the whole story (the cancer patient didn't do this, their slobbo roommate did).
