Giving a kid every opportunity and telling them they're the smartest kid around is a terrific recipe for raising an emotionally dense narcissist, and that's why we have siblings to tell us the hard truths about ourselves. You hope moments like these are learning experiences that help people avoid the rough path of becoming a ridiculous individual who brags about their intelligence online. 

It starts with this old client trying to dispute a cleared charge on an item they bought 4 months previously, lying about it, admitting it, then holding the transaction hostage. Where do such kind customers get it in their heads that this is the right thing to do? Who are these entitled people with their absurd audacity? It just never stops.

There are times when we make assumptions or statements without realizing the full scope of the situation, and we end up paying for it. Sometimes that realization happens right away and other times it takes a little while. There are also times when we straight up know we're doing some unsavory business while we're doing it.  There are just some regret-filled times when people realize they're the bad guy.

Anyone who's ever waited for a school bus knows that the bus is under no obligation to come directly to your front door. This parent had a hard time understanding that they're not the only person whose kid goes to school. Entitled people show up everywhere and push demands onto everyone, like this customer who chose the wrong free glasses and got a response from the owner.

This customer with absolutely no chill couldn't be bothered to be helped by any woman in the company. Eventually he got his wish, but it was far from helpful. For more customer stories, here's one where a boss reality checks awful customers and one where a Karen was defeated with overwhelming kindness.

This person asked if they were in the wrong for throwing a fit for not getting a party to go along with their promotion, and then took their coworker's Tupperware for good measure. Sometimes people don't get it, like this entitled girlfriend who expected her boyfriend to pay off her loans, or these entitled people with their ludicrous demands.

We're not sure what kind of a fantasy world entitled people are living in where they think they can be paid to take your things, but it seems like a world they'd be disappointed a lot. It's a world of influencers trying to pay for things with exposure, strangers making up fake discounts, random people demanding that the universe hand them their dream job and just about any unreasonable demands you can think of..

Most people have a general idea of how to be basically decent and respectful of other people, however there's a tragically high subset of entitled folks who display trashy behavior that make it harder for everyone else to go about their daily lives. Whether it's because someone is fundamentally unaware of other people's needs, they go full Karen, or they think they're above it all, it's no fun dealing with someone who wasn't raised right.

This one seems pretty cut and dried. Their friends seem a bit extreme and have a hard time understanding what cats eat. The decision to eat meat is one that causes bacon drama between fathers and daughters, and poor dietary information can lead to some really awkward situations like this woman who learned mayonnaise wasn't vegan.

Having a bad roommate can result in some interesting, but stressful bad roommate moments and stories. For example, this other guy got back at his thieving roommate with a booby trap USB. In this case, after some escalation, this guy got his roommates laptop stolen when he tried to hide it, and he went to the internet to ask if he was in the wrong. The internet made sure he knew just how wrong he was.

Sometimes someone asks something so rude, disrespectful or misguided that it hits in a certain way that you can't help but stay salty about it for years. For more cathartic stories of maddening behavior, here are rude and annoying things houseguests did and times people were seriously misjudged.

It's interesting to see just how petty people can get. As the story goes, her twin sister wants to adopt a kid with a name she already wanted to use. She refuses to change the name she chose, and also refuses to name her kid the same thing. She asked the internet if she was being the problem here and the internet let her know. People get into some surprisingly weird drama over stealing baby names.

Rudeness and a complete lack of self reflection go hand in hand. This gullible dude really wanted some free art, but like all the other demanding people who want artists to work for free, got trolled. There's some freakish entitlement going around, like this mom who lashed out at her babysitter for getting a better job. 

Apparently she got blocked after this. Usually there's some levity to dating apps, like these winners and losers from the wide world of tinder, but sometimes a nice guy or girl jumps right out of the gate with some judgmental BS. Not sure why Rob would deliberately sabotage himself by being an ass, but it was pretty obviously a dumb move.

Whether it's an ungrateful kid who wanted something more expensive for Christmas, a low-balling deal-hunter who won't take no for an answer, or just a straight up stranger demanding free crap, the world has an excessive amount of entitled folks who need to leave and take their attitudes with them.
