Twitter's in a bit of an uproar over a resurfaced survey from Bank of America that says 1 in 6 millennials have $100K in savings. Many folks reacted with doubt, surprise, and general dismissal. Instead, they suggest that these fortunate millennials must come from old money, and that it's more likely most millennials have under $1K in their savings.

This one goes out to all those people exploiting those loopholes out there. We knew this type of thing was possible in theory, but you don't expect to be told the story by the person it happened to. A+ effort by that guy who cancelled his appointment free of charge. Escape rooms can be the site of a lot of drama, especially when people try to escape in stupid ways.
People work in any customer facing role see more than their share of entitled and delusional customers who want things that are completely irrational and sometimes literally impossible to achieve. Some of the sweetest ones are when bosses have to step in the completely shut down a terrible customer. Either way, here's a guy who's old customer demanded that her kids get the same extreme discount as her.
When you're already getting a thing for free, you're not in a great position to demand everyone else change what time everyone leaves and then demand a free ride. Most people are pretty understanding, but the world is full of entitled morons who think the world was made for them.
Twitter users are sharing all the wild things they'd do if they suddenly discovered a million dollars. Some people would run off with it before anyone could find them, while others would work to exercise a lot more caution. Might not want to mess with someone who misplaced a million dollars.
Most people know not to waste someone's time with ridiculously low offers, or demand free stuff when they're in no position to choose, but there is a remarkable number of choosing beggars that want the world's riches for free. It's frustrating to watch people rudely demand crap, but it's also pretty satisfying to see people who are way too entitled not get what they want.
This guy's trying to challenge the stereotype about all these brilliant tech masterminds starting their global operations from within the confines of a stuffy garage. Instead, he asserts that some of these billionaires enjoyed the benefits of other factors like generational wealth, family investments, nepotism, etc.
This angry pregnant woman decided to kick her husband out after she learned he was hiding money from her. His reasoning for hiding the money was that he thought she might want some if she knew about it. For the couple to have dated a few years, and decided to have a baby together, it sounds like they had some serious issues. Maybe time for some couple counseling.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share stories of the most they've ever gotten out of a dollar. We've got people getting lucky off dollar scratchers, and others finding rare vintage clothing in secondhand stores that you'd never think could end up getting you $700.
Asking for help when you need it is one thing. It's a completely different thing when you ask for free stuff you can easily afford, try taking advantage of people's goodwill, demand frivolous free crap, and become extra unreasonable when you don't get it. Choosing beggars come from all walks of life, and they try to walk all over everyone else's.
On one hand, having to call customer service, especially for a telecommunications company, can be a time wasting slog. On the other hand, some customers just call customer service for an opportunity to scream at someone. In this case, this woman would rather scream and demand a 500 MB plan rather than actually listen, so things didn't exactly end in her favor.
This woman claims she's all about spreading positivity, and honestly she's doing a kickass job at looking like a terrible, negative person. For someone who is all about spreading the positivity, she's doing anything but that. What kind of individual takes the time to shame people for being broke? That is not the positivity we're familiar with.
For whatever reason, whether it's desperation, maliciousness or stupidity, tons of people have no problem expecting free stuff. There's people demanding too much money for their crap, companies asking for a career's-worth of experience for a free internship, and folks offering pitiful amounts of money for the crap they want you to do. Even some children and squirrels are getting in being choosing beggars.
That's a completely huge mistake that would probably put most people in a buttload of stress, but I guess if you can afford to lose a grand and not be bothered to get it back, then good for the pizza girl? If her job is anything like this pizza delivery woman's, then she deserves it.
Selfishness comes in many flavors. Sometimes people get something for free like a ring or an apple watch and they deem it not good enough. Some people want something, like a car, but they'd prefer to have it for free, then throw a tantrum when they can't get it. You wouldn't believe it, but social media is packed with frustrating morons and shameless choosing beggars. They come in the form of complaints, attempted deals, demands and random conversations.
We've had enough horrible bosses to be extra sensitive when it comes to getting screwed at your job, and it seems like it's way too common for businesses to overwork their employees and abuse their loyal customers. It's such an engrained thing that everyone just kind of sucks it up. In a similar vein, here are things that are pretty much scams that people accept as legitimate business.
