“I Thought It Was A Joke”: 65 Times People Met People So Entitled, They Still Can’t Shake It Off

At my first job I worked alone late night at a gas station near a busy highway. A giant SUV pulls up and a bunch of guys spill out and into my store. They fill up and grab various snacks, drinks.

As one of them is talking to me a few of his friends start walking outside with the stuff they picked out. I tell the guy at my counter his friends need to pay for their stuff, or I have to call the police.

Dude at the counter gives me a funny look, like I'm being unreasonable.

"Don't you know who I am, girl?"

"No, I don't. Bring your friends back inside to either pay for, or put back their stuff."

"What about an autograph?"

I motion for the phone and he tells at them to come back. They all paid and gave me really nasty looks the whole time.

Being someone important doesn't me you get to rob me.

I still don't know who he was.

I work at a library, and someone wanted a library card. Okay, great, just fill out this short application on this kiosk, takes only a few minutes. Simple stuff like name, address, birthday, email, etc.

She didn't want to. Can we do it for her? It's too much work. Now, if someone has an actual reason to ask us to do it for them, we can enter all of that manually, no problem, but in this case, she told my coworker "I don't want to do all that work," and my coworker said "I guess you don't want a library card then, either."

I watched a College Princess empty an entire shelf of wine Hulk style at Bevmo. At 10:00 AM. On a Tuesday. Because they couldn't sell her a pack of Corona.

First, she was upset because she cut in line and everyone was bullying her for it. She was frustrated nobody understood why her time was more precious than ours.

Then, the cashier was being racist because he couldn't sell her the beer. COULDN'T, not wouldn't. She was under 21 (U.S.). They're both white, btw. She starts to whine and stomps her feet like a child. When that doesn't work, she starts crying and pulls the "they always sell it to me at the other store" card.

Cashier is done with College Princess. He calls out the manager. The manager tells Princess she will not be purchasing alcohol that day or any other day until her 21st birthday. It was like the manager said the incantation to summon a banshee. Princess let out a screech that could be heard two states away, ran over to a full shelf of wine, and started slamming every bottle she could reach onto the floor. By the time the police came, her legs and feet were covered in blood and glass. All because they wouldn't break the law and sell her beer.

A girl (late 20's) threw a massive temper tantrum cause i refused to change shifts with her, basically she wanted me to work 10 straight days and 2 double shifts because wanted to go to a summer festival, we were shorthanded already due a colleague being take to an emergency heart surgery... luckily my front desk supervisor and hotel manager had my back on this, she was told to resign shortly thereafter.

My cousin was given a brand new mustang on her 16th birthday. She demanded that my uncle return it and get another one because she didn't like the color.

So he drove 3 hours away to another dealer to get her the color she wanted. She refused to go with him because she had "better things to do".

None of this is surprising, because she's been catered to her entire life. *However*, my uncle (who is a really laid back and funny guy) made a pit stop at a body shop and had them add "VERUCA SALT" in big bold letters across the bottom of the windshield.

She was furious and demanded they remove it, but my uncle simply told her that if she did anything to get rid of it he would sell the car and she was welcome to buy one with her own money, so she dealt with it.

Went to UBC for a year in college and a girl in my dorm was an heiress to some large bank in Canada. She’s lived with servants her entire life, but wanted to get the college experience and live in a dorm her first year in school. First day she takes a shower in the common bathroom and then leaves all her clothes on the floor, fully expecting someone to pick them up and wash them for her. After a day of them just sitting in a pile in the bathroom she apparently asked my RA when her clothes will be brought to her room, clearly annoyed it hadn’t been done yet.

Was dating this chick for a few months. We make plans to hang out and cook dinner at my house after work.

So I text her saying I’m heading home from work and I’m gonna hop in the shower real quick. She replies that she’ll start heading to my place. So I put my phone in my room and hop in the shower. Then I start prepping things for dinner.

It’s been an hour since she said she was on her way and she hasn’t shown up, so I go back to my room and check my phone. A few missed calls and a bunch of messages from her.

She had shown up to my house, stood at the front door, but because my phone is in my room I didn’t hear any of her calls or texts. So she left and went back home.

She didn’t ring the doorbell or knock because she is a “lady”. Tells me she can’t believe I wasted her time.

A 29 year old princess that is too good to even knock on the door of the guy she is dating. I thought it was a joke.

I work at a pet boarding place, and even though we have people there to take care of the animals on Christmas we’re closed to check in/outs.

Girl comes in with her mom to pick up their dog a couple of days after Thanksgiving and we try to confirm their Christmas reservation. They had planned to drop the dog off early on the 24th and pick her up early on the 26th. Mom asks if they can pick up on Christmas, we tell her nope we’re closed.

This was NOT OKAY with this girl. They were going out of state on Christmas Eve to see family and returning mid-day on Christmas and she HAD TO HAVE HER PUPPY ON CHRISTMAS.

Mom tries to reason with her, pointing out that if they leave the dog home she’ll be alone from early Christmas Eve until Christmas Day. Girl doesn’t care, wants her puppy there waiting when she gets home on Christmas. She starts bawling her eyes out in the middle of our lobby and when her mother tries to comfort her she literally HITS HER. She’s shoving her mom around and crying-

Oh, and she’s 22 years old.

They cancelled the reservation.

I was in the library at my University doing homework and a girl like a table or two over was on the talking on the phone (loudly on the quiet floor of the library I might add) talking to her friend I think. She was upset that her parents are not allowing her to go one a second vacation over summer to attend a music festival. She was also upset that she isn’t allowed to use their credit card on random stuff she wanted anymore.

I made sure to tell my dad after hearing her complain, that I appreciate him investing in a college fund for me and that all the money he spent on me isn’t taken for granted.

My ex...


Had a full out temper tantrum that her parents sent her a Louis Vuitton handbag (worth 10 k or so) not the luggage set. She was lying on the floor kicking and screaming... it was strange. Rich people problems I gather?

Was at the scene of a car crash where the driver of a car was injured and his passenger was not injured. The police and all that were there and they asked her to step out of the car and she demanded they open the door for her because she never opens doors for herself..

This 18 year old princess from Brooklyn ran a stop sign in a brand new Lexus and T-boned my ex's car. They slammed into the car right behind my seat. She tried like hell to say it was our fault. Her mom and bro were in the car with her trying to tell the cops it was out fault. The cops looked at our car and was like, "how the hell did you do that much damage to the car if you just came 10 feet from a stop sign?" They shut up. The most Brooklyn Princess moment I have ever seen.

I knew a girl in my middle school, during our band/orchestra Disneyland trip, didn't want to walk around with her petite feet in the park so rented out a wheelchair and had her mom push her around all day for 12 hours or so.

When the park employees stopped her and told her that she couldn't go on rides because she was "bound to a wheelchair", she would say, "Oh I'm not crippled, I just didn't want to walk around".

Girl I am roommates with honestly believes she is a princess. Like aside from the norm of having daddy there to help with rent, school, and bills. She has the monogrammed water bottles, journals, and sweatshirts.
She put together an office chair she ordered from Amazon incorrectly and assumed it was broken and demanded a refund. (I took one look and was able to put it together correctly by removing a piece on it that said REMOVE BEFORE ASSEMBLING.)

But the topper. Her aunt told her a story of how she was descended from Polish royalty who had to sell their title during WWII. Reciting this story in front of her mother one day during a visit. Mother face palms the hardest and goes "oh honey. Oh honey, you still believe that?".

My step sister scheduled her "dream wedding " in the Bahamas during hurricane season. Then a hurricane hits, peoples homes are destroyed or without power, people missing, all the things that natural disasters bring.

Somehow in the midst of her hissie fit about her "dream wedding being ruined " she finds some way to blame it on her mother (who paid for the whole thing) and stopped speaking to her.

It's been about a year now, and her mom hasnt even gotten a "Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas."

My sister wanted everyone in her wedding party to do a 6am yoga class on the day of her wedding. Everyone was tanked at the rehearsal dinner the night before, no one wanted to get up at 6am. We all told her way ahead of time we all hated this idea. She stomped her foot about it anyway. There was puke.

Just to add, she asked me to be her MOH when I was living/working in the Philippines and she was home in upstate NY. I told her I couldn't commit to the responsibility of being MOH. She said she couldn't believe I wouldnt move home for something like this. We didnt talk for 4 months. I did end up going to the wedding but as a normal guest. She still tried to make me do the yoga class. I refused. She didnt speak to me all day on her wedding day. I was ok talking to the other 300 people there.

I worked with a girl who had a daughter that she had in her teens. She was dating the father and had just become pregnant again. They were both working to put themselves through college and support their children. He proposed to her and she told him no because the diamond was too small.

I drive uber. I picked up a girl who swore her middle name was princess. She took off heels and put her feet out the window while I was driving her across Hollywood. Without asking, she tore off my uber sticker on my front window and started talking about how she was doing me a favor and now when people saw us driving people would think she was my hot beautiful gorgeous girlfriend. I asked her to please put the sticker back and she was genuinely confused and kept saying how awesome it is for people to think she's my girlfriend.

She wasn't pretty at all but you could tell she had money to buy nice makeup and do her hair nicely and wear nice clothes. It was after that moment I knew I would never date a princess girl ever.

At previous job, me and some random girl were involved in calculating a bill. She told me "I'm a lady, I don't do math".

My roommate in college got sick one time. Had a mild flu. I'm a mother hen type so I got her to the hospital during a blizzard, got her meds and generally was taking care of her. I thought she would thank me or something but instead she asked me if I could FEED HER SOUP.

I said, uhhhh I think you can handle it, and bounced as fast as I could for the next couple of days.

**edit : a lot of people are focusing on the hospital thing, which wasn't my princess example, it was expecting me, someone she has known for six months at this point, to feed her soup because she was sick**.
