Say you're watching a dumb youtube video of a guy throwing a watermelon off of his roof. The comment section is all "lols" and "who's watching this in 2020s" when it happens. Right out of the blue some rando who lives in his mom's basement taps out an essay on why everyone is stupid and anyone who doesn't listen to Chopin while pretending to do quantum physics is a sheep. Now he's downvoting your okay melon puns that he doesn't have the attention to understand. All you can really do is wonder what makes this ridiculous person think they're a genius.

Here's another entitled coworker who demanded a party and took all the leftovers. You can't help but be fascinated by the antics of an entitled Karen, like this one who tried and failed to scam a restaurant.
People keep thinking they can demand free stuff, unpaid labor and steep discounts out of other people for no other reason that their own misguided sense of superiority. Whether it's a manipulative family member, an abusive stranger or a delusional potential employer, entitled people will take their unrealistic demands as far as they can go.
