80 Netizens Share The Most Outrageous Cases Of Entitlement And Being Spoiled They Have Seen

This is pretty minor, but in high school I had a friend whose birthday was exactly six months apart from mine. In my family it's tradition to do whatever activity the birthday-person wants to do, such as eat at a specific restaurant, go to a specific theme park, or just chill out. In her family, half-birthdays were a thing they would do (which I had never heard of before and have never heard of since): family members would get presents on the day exactly six months away from their regular birthday. So the first year I knew her, she asked for a present from me... on my birthday. She was legitimately confused and unhappy that I didn't give her anything. Yeah, I understand that the whole "I get to do whatever I want on my birthday" thing is a bit entitled too, but in my defense I'm one of those people who will bend over backwards for someone I care about and expect nothing in return, so getting to be a little greedy for one day is nice.

Someone tried to call 911 because the food pantry wouldn't give them enough food.

Any time I try and switch out my dog's water bowl for something new, she lies down in front of it and barks until I put the old one back.

Friend's rich cousin went skiing at Whistler with my friend. My friend set out his ski clothes on the bed and then went to the bathroom. When he got back they were gone.


His rich cousin was so used to his clothes being set out for him that he just put my friend's clothes on without thinking and went skiing.

Worst I ran into personally was a guy on my hall in college, very progressive guy always showing off how "woke" he was. Complained endlessly that his allowance had gotten cut from $400 to $300 a month because he got a part time job. Didn't make me happy when I was paying for my textbooks and everything with work study money.

One guy at my grad school complained about the location of a conference he was going to.

In previous years, it'd been hosted on the campuses of various universities abroad, but, this time round, it was "only" going to be in Oxford. He wasn't best pleased, to put it lightly.

All the conferences *I'd* been to at that point were in the same city as our grad school; I would've given anything to go to a conference in Oxford.

A couple summers ago, I was hanging with my son at the HOA pool when a mom and teenage son come in. Mom and son start talking and I had to struggle to keep my jaw from hitting the floor from the conversation between them that I overheard.

Mom: So where did you apply for work today?

Son: (rattles off a list of about 8 or 9 retail and fast food places)

Mom: Oh honey! You shouldn't have applied to *those* places. You should ONLY apply for OFFICE work. You know that! You're too good to work at *those* places.

I couldn't say anything..I just kinda turned around so I wasn't facing her because I was severely tempted to tell her that no, a teenage kid with little or no experience wasn't going to get (probably) a cushy office job doing ANYTHING except work like running errands, making copies, filing, etc and there was nothing wrong with working at *those* places she put down. My husband has worked retail his entire life (almost 30 years now) and it's not GREAT money but it keeps the lights on.

I made some mention to my college roommate about how annoying the bus route I took to work was or something like that, and she turned to me quizzically and said "Why don't you just tell your Dad to buy you a car?"

I was 22 at the time.

I used to work at the local park district as the weekend building supervisor. Basically, I just made sure the place didn't burn down during parties and such. One time a room had accidentally been double booked with a child's birthday party and a boy scout event. The boy scout leader was the most entitled jerk I've ever met. I was on the phone with my boss, trying to figure out where the boy scouts could be moved to, and the leader comes up and says "I don't want to cause a problem, but if you don't figure this out soon, I'm going to call the mayor." Dude was screaming at my coworkers, who worked the parties, and the parents of the party already going on almost called the cops. It was ridiculous. Eventually my boss gave me the okay to let them use our gym. Since there was food involved we normally wouldn't allow them in the gym but, you know, he was going to call the *mayor*!

This isn't a case of entitlement, just innocent level of spoiled. A couple years ago, I was studying abroad in Sydney. Spring break started drawing near and that's when I heard one of my suite-mates say "I can't do anything, I only have 5,000 left in my account".

I was once at a dinner with a family friend at a nice restaurant and the little brother (about 12 ish) jumped up and down on a couch the entire time. His mom and dad ignored him, despite the many looks from the waiters. She actually told him to get down once, which brought me a huge source of relief until I realized it was literally just to get him to eat something. He went right back to jumping on the couch. His older brother used to throw fits and would refuse to go to tennis lessons unless his parents paid him...

My uncle vehemently believing that no one in the United States was afraid to go outside in their neighborhood.

I work at a coffee shop in a rich neighborhood. One of our regulars is actually a really nice lady, but very well off and not always aware of how the real world works.

The other day she came in and was telling us this story about how her daughter's just discovered this cool new store called GoodWill, where you take your old things and then you can buy used stuff dirt cheap. "There's some really great finds and it's like a treasure hunt game!"

Edit: I didn't mean to say this made her a terrible person. Just that it definitely displays a certain level of entitlement if you haven't ever heard of Good Will in your 40+ years of existence.

After a few hours of opening gifts Christmas morning, we had finished and thanked our parents for everything. Just then my step brother 17 piped up and said "oh I just thought of something else you guys could get me!" The other 4 of us winced at the ungratefulness. Not super bad but I was raised to be appreciative whether you liked the gift or not.

Coworker has been here for 2-3 months (we are both contractors). He walks around and acts like his is God gift to the client.

He does nothing all day but complains... oh why oh why they do not hire me permanently...

I am like dude, do your job, show your value first.

My brother bullied me for all his life. Until I emigrated and didn't look back. He got married on my birthday and I stated that I wouldn't attend. Because distance, because my birthday, because work, because fear of flying and because I don't care! He got really angry and got most of my close relatives to attempt to guilt me into coming.

Not me, but my husband’s experience. He was a hotdog vendor in college and some woman cut everyone in line, at lunchtime. Her excuse when she got to the front of the line? She said, “Serve me first, I am French,” He pretended to not hear her so he made her repeat it louder so everyone in line could hear. Then he told her that she should ask for permission from everyone in line that she cut. She turned around to see everyone glaring at her so she went to the back of the line.

Limo driver here. One of my clients was mad when he landed at an airport one time and someone had a bigger jet than him. I guess he upgraded since that incident because when I picked him up he came in on a massive jet that could have been a commercial plane. I wish I had his problems.

Edit: The guy isn't a complete jerk. He tipped me $100 after I drove him around.

This customer came in one day and started yelling at my coworker because she wouldn't allow him to use his EBT card to buy our hot food.

Personally, I think one _should_ be allowed to buy hot food with EBT, but as long as you aren't, I will _not_ be a part of EBT fraud.

My wife is so spoiled. She can't understand why my parents don't just buy me a car. After I've already run the first few I got into the ground. Even I am not that blind.

One time my mother and my best friend and I were driving home from the grocery store. I had just heard of a new "healthier" ice cream, and the first grocery store didn't carry it. As luck would have it, and according to the product's website, a different grocery store on the longer route home carried it. I told my mom that the other store carried the product and she was more than happy to take the longer way home to stop at the other store and get the ice cream. My friend thought this second grocery trip was the most spoiled thing I could ever ask for. (I was 17? at the time, if it matters.) what do you all think?
