Talking to someone vaguely out of touch can be almost amusing at times, it’s like looking into a parallel universe. Some folks have the strangest assumptions, misunderstandings, or “princess and the pea-style” gripes about life.
But a few unlucky netizens have met people so comically entitled, spoiled, and out of touch that it almost beggars belief. So prepare yourself to read some downright infuriating stories, get comfortable, and be sure to upvote your favorites. Don’t forget to comment your own experiences and thoughts below.

I grew up with a rich girl who never had a realistic view of the world. Her wedding gift from her parents was a $500k house built to her specifications. The house took a year (maybe two) to build, and during that time she and her husband lived at her parents' mansion. They had an entire floor to themselves. It was about 2,000 square feet and it consisted of a kitchen, two bedrooms, a rec area, etc.
Did she realize how good she had it? Of course not. She spent the entire time lamenting on Facebook about how "hard" it was to be "homeless".
That was a few years ago. She still posts "as someone who used to be homeless..." comments while sitting in her fancy, custom-built $500k house.
The only reason I haven't unfollowed her yet is because she's like a train wreck that's impossible to look away from.

Two instances, one from each of my brothers. The first, my older brother stole money (around $700) from my parents and hid it at a friends house, hoping nobody would notice and they could buy an Xbox. When confronted (both by my parents and the cops) he said "it's fine- we're rich so it doesn't matter". No, we aren't.
Then, my younger brother is being sent on an all-expenses paid first class trip for two weeks to spend time with his friends across the country. He threw an actual honest to god fit because one of the stipulations is that he needed to spend a few days with our grandparents while he was out there. My 17 year old brother was screaming and crying because he didn't want to spend two days with our grandparents who literally would go and give anything for us, who have done nothing but love us to pieces, who are too old to come visit us and haven't seen him in two years.
I don't yell much, so imagine his surprise when I sit him down and scream at him for being an entitled piece of shit.

My wife's friend.
Her husband bought her a puppy, spend probably $600 on the actual dog, training, food, toys, etc.
He is the one that took it outside to pee, fed it, took it on walks, etc. Pretty much did everything to take care of it.
She throws an absolute ballistic fit because the puppy likes him more. Stopped wearing her wedding ring, changed all her profile pictures to not include her husband, etc.
Total spoiled b***h.

Guy from my old school was gifted by his parents a 24,000 new sportcar. 2 months later he totalled it while texting. His parents bought him a new suv same price. Crashed it next month. Parents bought him a used POS for $2000. He ranted for months.

A girl I have known most of my life. Her parents treat her like she is the queen of England or something. Growing up, if there was a new toy out that she wanted, her parents bought her 5 (and if possible, in each color) because she would break her toys.
She had 2-3 bedrooms. One was big enough to be a studio apartment alone. Where did she sleep? Her parent's bedroom.
If she wanted to go somewhere, like Disney World, her parents dropped everything to start planning that vacation.
When she started driving, she had 3 new cars in 8 months. Not because she crashed them or they broke down, but because she just had to have the newest model. I think she is on her 15th car now.
Never has had a job. Her parents pay for her and now her son.
In school, she had a "tutor." I say it in quotes because the tutor just did her homework for her. I'm surprised she can even read and write, honestly. Although, reading her Facebook statuses shows me she can't write much better than my 9 year old.
The worst part was... if she didn't like someone, she had her parents do their best to try to ruin that person's life. She got her 7th grade teacher fired, claiming he was being inappropriate with her. He wasn't, he never was in a room with her alone. He was a kind, old man, but he didn't put up with her not doing her homework. He failed her in a few subjects. He was never charged or arrested or anything, no legal trouble from it, but the school did force him into retirement because they were scared.

One time I asked a girl in my class if she wanted an orange. She said yes and I handed her one. She asked what it was. I was a little confused. "It's an orange..." I said. She said, "No, oranges don't have this rough skin, they're just sections that you break apart" I was shocked and explained that it was the peel and all oranges had them. She said "Oh, I guess my butler has always peeled them for me" She was 16 at the time. The entire class was furious.

There was this girl in a class I had at the university that said she could not for the life of her understand how anyone could take a loan during their studies to pay for it all (at least here that is the most common way of doing it even though most people also work extra as well). She said people who did that are stupid and they make her sick.
So someone asked her how she does it and she said that her mom payed for her apartment, food, car, have fun money etc. Everyone basically just sat there with their mouths open in disbelief.

One time in elementary school my friend had a party for all the kids in the class and his mom ordered like 10 pizzas and when they arrived they were square cut. He threw a fit because he wanted triangles, so his mom threw the pizzas away and reordered new pizza.

Growing up my parents were never poor or even close to be considered poor by any standards. I had a friend in middle school whose family was insanely rich, and her mom was convinced we were dirt poor. She would always make comments about how sorry she was for me, and she knows how hungry I must be. But I was never poor, she was just absurdly rich. One day she calls my friend and I to the kitchen. She has two bowls of tortilla chips. She tells me to try one chip from both bowls. I do. I tell her something like "well those are tortilla chips." And her mom turns to my friend/her daughter "see that's why you don't want to end up like her parents, she can't taste the difference between brand name and generic!"
Imagine thinking you were too good for generic tortilla chips.

My brother. He has this notion that because he's adopted our parents "owe him" forever. He treats them like garbage and they do all they can to help him and his son. He's a 27 year old man child and I can't stand him.
And in case anyone's curious, I'm adopted too though we're not related by blood. I love my parents and just see them as normal parents.

When I was in high school, I was dating a guy whose family was relatively well to do. Living in the midwest, our winters were brutal, and this one was no exception. The pipes in his basement burst, filling the basement with sewage.
His darling mother (/s), instead of driving the few blocks to the nearby hotel, bought a last minute plane ticket to Denver to go to their condo and take a shower there, and immediately fly back home.
I wish I had money to spend as ridiculously stupidly as this woman did.

Myself, I was given a house and a car. Fancy stuff.
I don't deserve the help I get, and I tell you: I would rather have a tight-knit and loving family.

During one of my substitute teaching assignments, I had the joy of meeting the most spoiled teenage I had ever encountered before or since. Conrad was spoiled in a way only children of two rich divorced parents can be. Conrad was an only child whose parents used material goods and money to buy his affection.
On the first day of this particular sub-job, Conrad informed me he didn't have to do his work, he would just get his father to pay the teacher "a shitload of money" and he would get an A. I stated I didn't care what he did as long as he did not disturb his classmates and wrote his comments in my sub notes. He was placated for the day and dinked around on his cell phone until the period ended.
The second day really showed Conrad's true colors. The class was supposed to do group work and he was "working" with a group of his friends. He spent the work time continuously talking about how much he hated his mom because she bought him a used 2013 Ford Focus for his 16th birthday, instead of a brand-new BMW that he wanted. I made a comment that I would love if my parent gifted me a fairly new used vehicle, to which he commented, "Of course you would. You're a teacher and poor." I told him to get back to work and if I caught him off-task again, he would need to work alone. He was fine after that.
The third and final day of my assignment, Conrad was in an absolute tizzy about something his mother had done. Probably the BMW thing. Idk or care. What I did care about was that he kept commenting on how he was going to sabotage his mother's plane so "that b***h would fall out of the sky and die." I told him to rein in those comments as they were not appropriate for school and could get him in serious trouble. I left him with his group to continue work from the previous day.
Approxmately five minutes later, I hear nervous laughter coming from Conrad's group. He has his phone out and is showing the group something on it. I walked over and asked to see what was causing such a fuss. Conrad (the idiot) showed me his Snapchat story which consisted of a picture he took of his mother with an emoji gun pointed at her head and the text "Imma shoot dis b***h." I got to send him to the office, talk to the school social worker and the school resource officer. All because this kid didn't get a BMW and his parents couldn't be arsed to show him some actual love and affection for his entire life.
**TLDR: Kid didn't get a BMW and threatened to kill his "b***h" mother repeatedly.**

I saw a girl throw her brand new iphone on the ground to shatter the screen and get a new one because it wasn't the rose gold model.

My ex-girlfriend. She grew up in a really fancy town in Illinois called Evansville or something. We went to a really great sushi place, and she complained that the rice was too chewy and that they didn't know what authentic sushi tasted like. The sushi place. Owned by two elderly Japanese people who had lived in Okinawa for 30 years.
When I bought a new car, she complained all the time about how the seats weren't soft enough. B***h, those seats were like giant pillows!
We attended a friend's small party on a sports yacht in miami. She complained of the fish smell. We were on a f*****g yacht. On the ocean. It's going to smell like fish. I had to end things after that.

Girl I went to college whose parents paid her a 'salary' which was more than I earned in my job. She then used to tell her parents she needed extra money for course books and go spend it on booze. Her parents didn't want her to work because it would interfere with her studies. She got f****d up so much on booze and drugs that she ended up dropping out of college and then they bought her a flat to live in.

This kid I went to highschool with got a porsche for his 16th birthday. Keep in mind 16 in my state is when you can get a permit, so he didn't even have a license. He got a new one later in highschool after backing out into a tree. He basically was handed admission to an Ivy league school because his grandparents had donated a building.

My college roommate and former best friend. Grew up spoiled as an only child. Huge 5 bed house for the 3 of them, fancy truck to play with with bells and whistles, daddy's credit card. When I got engaged I asked her to be my maid of honor, and she told me no because she couldn't approve of my marriage. The reason? He didn't have a bachelor's degree, so she was just certain that we couldn't be happy. 8 years, 2 kids later... I'm still poor, but very happy and have my smoking hot karate instructor husband who turned out to be a much better deal than making a spoiled princess happy.
I had plenty of other issues that came up over the years, this was just icing on the cake. Also, by poor I mean what society believes to be poor. We make ends meet, and are not left wanting, but make less than the median income for our area by a decent stretch.

Hope I'm not too late.
Let me tell you about 'Rebecca'
Single mom who is a lawyer for a big phone company. Rebecca is the youngest child with a large gap, so she's basically an only child. Here are a few things that happened in the year we were friends:
(Sorry if formatting is weird; on mobile)
Mom would always buy her Cadillacs and she would wreck them within 6-8 months.
Has worked at two different locations of the chain restaurant we worked at together. Has been fired from one twice and the other (where we met) four times. (For reason below)
Shows up to work 2-3 hours late and is never in uniform so she spends an hour in the restroom getting ready. This happened more frequently than her actually showing up on time.
Only reason she even worked to begin with was her mom wouldn't pay for her boob job. She did earn enough to get them and they are not very good.
After she's been fired once, she'll wait until there are new managers at the store, (high turnover rate) apply and be hired again.
Rebecca is in college getting her undergrad. She's currently 24, but cannot pass most of her undergrad classes. She has stated multiple times to multiple people that she expects the university she attends to pay for her DOCTORATE degree that she will complete by the time she is 26. A doctorate degree in two years without being able to pass undergrad classes? Okay.
Emailed the same university (literally emailed [university]@emailaddress) to request them to buy a multi million dollar mansion for her so she can start an orphanage. She sent links of said mansion with the email.
When she didn't get any results from the university she email Harvard wanting to apply. She posted the email on SnapChat and the first line read something like, "I know I don't have the best grades but I would be a great addition to the community!" Harvard has not responded.
Her mom bought her a very large house in a nice neighborhood so she could get away from her "controlling" boyfriend. He asked her to get a job to pay her part of the bills so she begged her mom to buy her this house.
The last I've heard of her is she ran her car into the boyfriend's house and then texted him saying, "hope you like the new decor, kiss my rich a*s." He has a restraining order against her and the detective he hired said they could, "bury her rich a*s."

This guy I knew stole $2000 out of his parents' bank account, spent all of it, and then proceed to scream at his parents for even acknowledging what happened. They didn't even punish him. Then for the next two weeks complained nonstop about how he hates his parents.
