Absurd entitled people proliferate through all aspects of life. It could be a boss that wants you to work for free on the weekends, a stranger who wants you to give them your phone for free, or a neighbor who's mad that the cake you baked them wasn't their favorite flavor. Wherever there are people, there are entitled people with ridiculous demands.
Someone's always trying to make a buck. So why not try to sell bizarre stuff online? If it's old and broken, that just means it's vintage. Is it a horrible failed art project?

Some people just refuse to be pleased. After this choosing beggar was offered a free portable chair and table, they proceeded to ask for money for gas too.

It's not good business practice to abuse the person you're trying to buy from, and it's even worse stealing practice to tell a dude you're gonna steal from him then ask for their address after the fact.

Even if this is all a ruse to try to get a comic for 35 cents, this guy's efforts are laughable. Nice try, you stupid idiot.

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.
