There are persons in this world who want far more than they would ever have to give — and they still want more than that. These entitled “choosing beggars” want everything for nothing and won't settle for anything less. They can be encountered in the marketplace of the face-books and lurking in the corners of Craig's list. It's highly likely, if you're an artist or freelance worker, they'll barge their way into your DMs and demand a free commissioned piece.

Ah, the entitlement never ends!

There's always going to be that thing that we are so fiercely protective and vocal about that we're willing to take a stand; die on that hill; and draw a big, bold line in the sand. For some people, that thing is — apparently — standing up to the communistic and anti-American existence of the metric system.

The existence of other people can be — well — kind of a downer. Nothing spoils the enjoyment of the pleasant dawning sun, with a hot cup of coffee in hand and pleasant birdsong in the air, like being reminded that other people exist. Barking dogs, honking cars, or yelling neighbors puncture tranquil morning thoughts and pull you right back into a bleak and bitter reality of continuance. But a barking dog, honking car, or occasional dispute is far from the worst thing one can experience when liv…

I smell nepotism!

No, this is not your neighbor, Totoro — this is your neighbor, Karen, and she thinks she has a greater right than you to use YOUR driveway.

There are some people in this world who consider themselves to be above it, despite that sentiment being entirely unearned. Their unwavering unabated demands and unreasonable expectations put undue weight upon the rest of society's shoulders. They insist on this course of raging against the world when someone dares to stand in the way of their obstinate importunity. These persons are our “Choosing Beggars”; they want everything for nothing and won't stand for any less for any more. Read on for…

Karen clearly forgot what the Bible says about stealing...

Sometimes, I wish I could have the audacity of an entitled Karen.

Accidentally approaching a stranger in a store, assuming that they work there — we've all done it — but it's how you handle those next embarrassing seconds that define your true character. Sure, most of us are most likely to blush and mumble some apology under our breath as we carefully back away and retreat to die in a hole somewhere; the bolder among us are going to be more like to laugh at ourselves for our mistakenness. But, there's a third group of people out there: Those who are so stubbo…

Wherever there is something that someone could possibly do in this world, there is someone out there taking it way too far. This is a phrase that I have uttered in the intro of these threads more times than I could possibly begin to count — but it remains as accurate and as relevant as ever. Some people just take something and run with it, we humans consistently fall prey to this due to the logical fallacy of feeling ‘moreish’: if one of something was good, then one more will be even better. Bu…

Sometimes being a human is embarrassing. There are just too many people on this dang planet getting up to too much tomfoolery. Don't get me wrong: We all have our quirks and strange habits that make us the ‘individuals’ that we are —but did these people really need to choose these quirks? Really? A lot of these trashy moments could be solved if people had a little more understanding of one another, but even more of them are beyond help. Keep browsing for this collection of trashy people and cri…

Some people are born without common sense but an obscene amount of wealth. At the end of the day, we are only human and, as such, are direct products of the environments in which we were raised. Whether or not you have common sense, if you've never had to pay for, say —a sandwich — in your entire life; then you're not going to have any life experiences, or even a frame of reference, for what a sandwich costs when you finally do need to pay for one. This seems absurd to the rest of us, but it's…

You can't expect a discount just because you have a ton of followers.

If you needed proof that karma can act in instantaneous ways— this is it. There's nothing worse on this earth than someone who is willing to nefariously take advantage of other people's inclination toward goodwill in order to further themselves. These grifters have no conscience, stop at nothing, and are a parasite to society. Luckily, they also sometimes also are served the just desserts that their actions have wrought. When this traveler happened across a couple on his flight, they kindly req…

With this act of petty revenge, true balance was restored.
