    I was at a coffee shop in a rich neighbourhood. Someone left the shop and then came back in speaking loudly to everyone. “Who here has the Mercedes with the license plate that starts with M?” They asked.

    Someone raised their hand.

    “You need to move your car” The entitled man demanded.

    “But I parked in the middle of the spot.” The Mercedes owner replied.

    “I can’t get in to my car”

    It turns out the entitled guy had a Rolls Royce that he parked over the line. The Mercedes driver parked next to him, but inside the lines. The Rolls Royce driver didn’t accept that he was the one who parked terribly. He just demanded that the other person needed to move their car. Not politely asking, just a demand.

    To add to it, this place only has about 8 spots and it’s always busy. The idea that no one should park next to him is the epitome of entitled.

      When I see someone parked awfully, I do give them the benefit of the doubt that they might have parked where there was room, and someone else before them parked even more absurdly bad.

      But I wouldn’t if they show up making that kind of a scene.

      Funny, I recently had a similar story at work. We’re in a building with several companies, so the “Rolls Royce” guy of your story was someone from another company, and the “Mercedes” guy was one of our colleagues. Exact same thing, the other guy was badly parked whereas our colleague was within the marks (although slightly misaligned TBF, but still in the marks). Some people…

      If I see someone parked over the lines I assume they are gonna hit my car wh their door or while they are backing out, so I go somewhere else.

    I’m sure there will be crazier answers, but one memory comes to mind. I’m walking down a busy street late one night in Montreal. I see this preppy looking guy lliterally screaming in the face of a bouncer outside of a club, like about to burst a blood vessel. Anyway, this guy is asking dumb questions like “dont you know who my dad is?” And yelling about how he’s going to get this dad on the phone to ruin the bouncers career for not letting him into the club.

    Maybe I’m lucky, but I don’t see cartoonishly entitled behavior like that often, so it stuck out to me. To the bouncer’s credit he kept his cool and just gave the other guy a blank stare the whole interaction…total pro.

    I know “person” disqualifies my cat but at the same time if she could read this, she’d be furious she wasn’t included.

    We were staying at a small hotel, we just finished lunch when we saw a middle aged couple arguing with the young receptionist.

    Their problem was that the all you can eat restaurant had self service and that they ran out of one of the meals. The receptionist tried to explain that this kind of thing happens sometimes but they try their best to refill the trays.

    They then asked for the owner, but the receptionist informed them that he’s out of town and not available, but if they want they could write a formal complaint. Hearing this the woman shouted: “then how will we get a refund???”.

    Ok I’ll play, I got a good one with a dose of revenge for fun.

    Me, my young daughter(4) at the time, and my pregnant wife were standing in a very long line line to buy movie tickets to the latest Disney flick (I think it was Nemo). There was only one teenage girl working, there were clearly some staffing issues going on, she was mega flustered, and the wait was truly long and unbearable. But whatever-stuff happens, not the poor girls fault. So we wait as patiently as we can.

    We are next in line. There’s like 50 people behind us. Some cow of a Karen just strolls up and cuts the entire line right in front of us. She looks back over her shoulder, smiling, and says that she cannot wait in this long line because she needs good seats. I’m kind of a jerk, and I would have enjoyed giving her a piece of my mind, but… small daughter, pregnant wife, etc. I behaved. People behind start flipping out.

    I’m thinking this entitled bitch needs a slap, and just as she turns around with her successfully purchased tickets from cutting an entire line, she whirls around flinging her excessively large designer bag over her shoulder. The strap breaks, and stuff goes EVERYWHERE. Tampons rolling around, lipstick cases under arcade machines, stuff all under people’s feet under the ropes, etc. Truly glorious.

    So now she’s horrified and has to pick everything up, and here’s the best part - nobody lifted a finger. All these people in line just ignored her, and her pathetic “excuse me”, “could you”, etc. she went from entitled Karen, queen of importance, to a cockroach scuttling around on a dirty movie theater floor, and everyone just silently looked down upon her.

    Petty? yes. I’m sure she’s still a mega bitch still. But karma was served that day.

    roommate 1 asked 2 for help fith the dishes in the sink over an instant messanger.
    2 refused what 1 could not understand. (2 was at school at the time, what 1 did not know)
    1 was angry about this.
    2 sometime came back and because an “care taker” would show up she did angrily the dishes.
    Berause she was angry i helped her so it can be done faster, naturally we talked too.
    1 heard us and was angry because we talked behind her back.
    Later 1 even complained that 2 complained because: “i did ask her to help because i needed help. It is so mean to complain about the full sink with mostly my stuff because she refused to help.”
    Something along the lines.
    2 even tried to defend herself, that she was in fact in school, but 1 did not listen.

    Yesterday this mf brought a whole shopping cart full of groceries to the self-checkout. Three of the checkouts were down so there were only 3 open. Not the spiciest, but like, damn.

      I’m not sure if paying for your groceries makes you entitled.

        You’re technically supposed to use a human cashier lane if you have a lot of groceries. At least in the USA, it’s pretty common for self-checkout lanes to have “15 items or fewer” signs.

          Depends on the stores these days, in my experience. Some stores are scheduling fewer cashiers after installing more self checkout lanes and have removed signage about item limits in self checkout. If you want a human cashier, you have to wait a while because there might only be one on shift so you get a line.

          Not in my area. Stores have both regular self-checkout lanes and express (<15 item) self-checkout lanes.

        With the line of 7 or 8 people holding 3 items waiting behind them I thought it was a bit selfish not to use one of the four open staffed lanes.

        i mean, he could have just used the non-self checkout

      Using the self checkout for larger shopping is ok in my book. But what sucks is using the SCO and buying an age restricted item (e.g. beer). The checkout locks down and summons an employee to verify the age and unlock the station again. If you buy age restricted items, go to the normal checkout where your greying hair is accepted as age verification!

        My problem with this kind of thing comes up at places like Walmart or target where I get some random item that is age restricted that you don’t necessarily think about being age restricted until the machine is yelling at you.

        Kind of wish it would take the rest of your shopping cart into account. The guy buying fishing lures, dish soap, a box fan, and some groceries is probably not a teenager who’s going to go home and huff that canned air duster.

    Talked to a non-vegan who thought that just because he was human he could kill othera for his taste pleasure. Weird dude all around tho. Like he had the right to kill an animal just because of species.

      I once met a contortionist who could twist any thread to talk about their pet topic, no matter how asinine it was. Talk about entitled!

        Speaking of pet topics, my pet goldfish is really the best goldfish ever. He just slips his way into any conversation at all, much like this one.

      Religious people will say the same. They think God made those animals for us. Cows solely exist to provide us food, so why should they feel bad that it got killed?

      Edit: people downvoting me haven’t had this conversation with a reformed Christian.

        Oh man, I knew one guy who actually said this to me out loud after admitting his family abandoned a cat in the middle of nowhere because they didn’t like it.

        They also had an incredibly overweight black lab that smelled awful. Bad enough they warned me about it beforehand. As soon as I could smell him I knew it was a severe ear infection, it was the worst yeast-smell I’ve ever experienced. They just weren’t interested in taking him to the vet to get it fixed.

        It’s not like this family was struggling money-wise, either. They were upper middle class.

                Even if he was doing so, the claim was that eating plants exclusively makes you weak, which is obviously anti-scientific.

                  And I was saying that you probably should have picked someone who wasn’t juiced to the gills to make your point. Plenty of really fit broccoli heads out there. Your example was a stupid one.
