money

Most people don't have a whole lot of money for designer tin cans and entire matching cup sets. Being the resourceful humans that we are, there are certain features of many homes that rich people just wouldn't get. Matching towels? Ha! You want a new TV just because it's sort of broken? Who are you the King of Rhodesia? These extremely common moments stand in stark contrast to some of the most expensive things people have witnessed. Here are some wild cases of rich people being out of touch.

Every day it becomes more apparent that some folks live in a fantasy land where they can just flout the conventions of decency and demand free stuff. Entitled people with their absurd audacity will expect people to work for them for free, try to abuse the trust of strangers, and throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. There's no good way to deal with entitled people and their laughable boldness.

It's weird learning that someone you trust is absolutely crap with money. Debt isn't something to play around with, but there are some out there who either don't know or don't care, and see taking out frivolous loans and making dumbass purchases as a way of life. For more money madness, here's a tumblr user's scary debt notice lesson as well as some of the most absurdly expensive thing people witnessed.

What we have here is a tale as old as time itself. Some half brothers get obnoxiously greedy, fly too close to the sun, and pretty much melt their wings off to the tune of $158K. If they'd have simply been reasonable human beings and offered some sliver of understanding in regards to the circumstances of the inheritance that was so graciously left behind, they might've actually gotten their share of the money. But alas, they took the different, ill advised route. 

Anyone who's ever been tempted by anything at Rent-A-Center has done the math and decided it's a stupid idea to rent a TV, so why are corporate big wigs getting away with the business version of the same thing? It seems like almost anyone would be better at budgeting than these suits. For another genius move by management, here's a time management illegally banned overtime pay and IT got it all back.

Just about everything is a little bit of a racket. Hell, if everything was sold at cost, there'd be no reason for anyone to run a business. It's when businesses use brand sway and deceitful practices to drive insane markups that things start to seem unfair and hairy. Even if you are spending a lot on movie theater sodas and designer eyeglasses, at least you're not following these bits of the dumbest financial advice people have gotten. On the other side of it, here are reckless uses of money that people didn't regret at all.

It's hard to keep up with entitled people and their cartoonish demands. One day they want a wedding photographer who will pay them for the opportunity. Another day they'll throw a tantrum because their free phone is the wrong color. The fun never stops with entitled folks and their audacious demands.

Horrible management always seems to get it in their heads that they can make people work crazy hours without having to pay for it. In this case, IT did their research and worked out a plan to get the astronomical amount of overtime they earned. Here's another incompetent manager who banned overtime and had it backfire.

At first it seemed like the typical tale of a dude asking for too good of a deal, getting rejected and slipping away into the night. Then the prospective buyer tried contacting the PS4 seller again in an attempt to sell his own wares, bootleg tracksuits and Uggs. It turned into a convenient opportunity to get the last word in. The lowballers of the world set themselves up for failure often, like this lowballer who didn't understand lowballing or this entitled lowballer who got sent to the wrong address.

This person gets someone to housesit and feed their pets for a week, then they turn around and make up a bunch of charges for the person? Sounds like the cartoonish demands of an entitled person. And even if paying the utilities was part of the deal, which it wasn't, that number is still way too high. It's impossible to understand what's going on in the heads of entitled folks with audacious demands.

It's hard for many of us to consider spending an entire paycheck on a cake or an ice maker, but when you think of all the money you spend on things that you don't even remember, maybe it's worth it to have a pleasant memory. While these ended up being decent expenses, some people get some extremely bad financial advice that is irredeemable. It'd be nice to have a taste of these absurdly expensive things people witnessed. 

If it seems like it might even have just a hint of value, people will try selling it online. Two lawnmowers welded together? Sure. A "vintage" bag of Doritos that someone forgot in their cabinet? Absolutely. There's no end to the weird stuff people will try to sell online.

We've all had penny pinching bosses who ask too much, but sometimes they set themselves up for failure. It's not a lot of fun to have a boss who tries to enforce contradicting rules. He didn't really give these guys a choice, and to top it all of, went totally incommunicado. Here's one where management illegally banned overtime pay but IT got it all back.

Nothing quite brings the blood to a boil like learning that you've been played by some manipulative, deceptive, straight up illegal scam. Unfortunately, the reality is that we share this world with many folks that are always proactively trying to pull a fast one on unsuspecting victims. The good news though is that you can read up on a thread like this, and hopefully break free from the vicious cycle of falling for scams that Americans have been conditioned to accept. Along a similar vein check out this woman's wonderful experience with the Icelandic healthcare system. 

It's common to see entitled people wanting free and cheap childcare, like this entitled dad who wanted free art and babysitting but gets neither, but you rarely get to see what kind of monsters they can be in detail. This lady seems like an absolute treat...

Sure, everyone likes free stuff, but typically the way to get that free stuff is wait until it's offered. These people went out of their way to demand crap from other people, and oh man are they not gonna get it. Unreasonably entitled individuals are everywhere, from customers, reviewers and business owners to straight up strangers.
