If you leave a person in a bubble of constant privilege for too long, the normal boundaries the rest of us live by start to disappear, and entitlement can quickly take their place.
There is always that one customer who demands royal treatment, a neighbor who ignores rules or even some family members who act like everyone else exists to serve their needs.
And we are all familiar with stories of certain celebrities going above and beyond, showing that entitlement can reach truly ridiculous levels.
While karma does catch up with a few of them, most people go through life completely scot-free, floating along in their own little bubble.
When the Reddit community was asked, “What’s the worst level of entitlement you’ve ever seen?”, it unmasked some people at their most narcissistic and oblivious.

My mother. My Stepdad had been suffering from prostate cancer for 14 years, he went downhill quickly & passed away. My mother had sold her house & bought into his. So they owned half each. When he passed, his half was left to his two kids. She was furious he didn’t leave his half to her, citing that he’d already given his children plenty of money. They’d already lost their mother to cancer too. Plenty more stories like that about her! None of us speak to her.

Most recent is a guy who came and set up to paint in my driveway. Brought his easel and paints and canvas and took up residence there very close to the house.

I worked at this retirement home and there’s this employee who was always having multiple complaints about her performance, being lazy, not wanting to do this, crying about not getting her way, NOTHING! Despite all of this, she’s never been fired, written or anything. In fact, she’s received employee of the month and received recognition.

I'm sure there's been worse, but it happened directly to me and I remember it vividly. In university I had a part time job in the cafeteria cooking and serving students from the residences. Lot of rich kids at this school. I had a girl tell me to go to that fridge (she pointed) and get me some fresh tomatoes from a new container (of sliced tomatoes). We already had tomatoes on display with other available condiments, but those ones weren't good enough evidently. I remember I kind of cackled when she said it because I was so shocked by it I thought she was joking. She wasn't and complained to the manager about my attitude. Fortunately, I was a decent employee and had a good relationship with the other staff and manager so nothing came of it. I still remember that from time to time and it's been nearly 20 years.

General managers bringing their own people like boyfriend and friends. Sometimes they don't know what their doing and feel they can do anything because they know/related to the general manager.

I manage a “contact us” email address for a multi-billion market cap company, and we get people emailing all the time saying they have ideas to share with our CEO and asking to set some time. Or complaining about something and demanding we reverse our decision because they said so. Yes, we’ll get your appointment set with the CEO immediately, random stranger.

Just been fired from a job a few months ago.
So basically me and my partner also working at the same company did a technician course for some work equipment. The company paid the course (around 100$ only) without discussing it with us and we took it as a nice gesture. Well the nice gesture made our boss think he can now text us 24/7 asking us to come in UNPAID!!! After our 6-12h workday. He then consequently would get upset if we wouldn’t then proceed to come to the office at 11pm. We kind of tolerated it due to a in general incredibly toxic work environment and him destroying our confidence through mean speeches. After about a year I had enough especially seeing how my partner but also other staff was treated. I had a supervisor role at the time and was a little bit less in the canon fire than the rest of the team. We approached him after a team meeting about being paid for the extra work and he completely lost it. Asked me for passwords the next day and fired me 3 weeks later for being “negative”.

Worked with a Paramedic until I transitioned to a corporate role with the Ambulance Service. Not long after the Paramedic I worked with wanted to do a transfer with someone else - I didn’t have consent from the other person, however, this particular Paramedic responded with “I don’t care about consent, force the other Paramedic to do the transfer with me before I force him to do it, I don’t need his consent”.

Worked at a hotel and this couple was complaining that our bartender wasnt making the drinks strong enough (he was following state issued rules). They said 'hes nice, but we just wanted a little more!" well my boss requested that he get to handle it
So they told their story and ended it with "we can stay anywhere in town! but we stay here because of the location and the staff!"
Boss kinda nods along and says "well thats not true, i know for a fact that we banned from the Umstead, and are also banned at the Downtown Marriott, and the full service marriott 2 exits down"
They look surprised and say "oh yea!!!! we remember you!! yknow, they called us last month and said you were fired and requested we come back! Clearly we should take them up on the offer"
Boss nods and says "well thats not true, but by all means!" They then change the story and say 'we are unpacked, and we paid in cash so we cant just leave suddenly"
Boss asks them to wait a moment, goes to the safe and gets their cash and then comes back to the desk and hands them a wad of cash and signals the bellman and says "well, here is your money and here is brian to help you with your things" Then they threw a fit about THAT.

My cousin. After my mother found out that he had spent $100 (OF HER MONEY) at the dispensary when he'd been going in for a 5 for $20 deal, when she confronted him about it he actually said "it sounds like you want me to say sorry, but I'm not. I'm not to blame because you didn't ask.".

Not my client thank God, but my cleaning company has a monthly customer who literally does NOTHING. Neither does the child (12-14ish).
It takes an hour just to clear the floors of trash or whatever else these bums just drop on the ground.
My most patient coworker does their house. I did it once and that was enough for me.

My younger sister wanted my nose and begged for it, when she was 17, suddenly it didn't "fit her face" and she had a second rhinoplasty. I emancipated myself at 16, the year she had her first. My family was poor, btw.

My son. Who’s literally in the middle of his punishment for poor behaviour and he had the audacity to ask me what we’re getting him for Christmas this year.
