The fact that you’re willing to pay a person for their services doesn’t give you full control over their lives. After all, it is a transaction. Both parties have to agree on its terms. And while this sounds like basic logic to most of us, some people simply don’t get it. Like this choosing beggar. After spotting their manicurist at a grocery store after hours, they got furious because… the nail technician chose family instead of making an appointment.

Posted on the r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit, this exchange has accumulated nearly 40k upvotes in less than a day. I guess, people know a good comeback when they see it. Even if it’s a bit harsh.

Whether deserved or not, highly entitled people are known to be less concerned about what is socially acceptable or beneficial. Researchers at Harvard and Cornell whose studies of 99 undergraduates and 98 MBA candidates yielded another interesting finding: Entitled people don’t follow instructions, because they see them as unfair. “They would rather take a loss themselves than agree to something unfair,” said the authors.

“When people feel entitled, they want to be different from others,” Jane Adams Ph.D. wrote for Psychology Today. “But just as frequently they come across as indifferent to others. That’s why they often provoke such negative responses in those they encounter, especially those they don’t personally know.”

    Why do I feel like the Choosing Beggar is speaking in incomplete sentences? I can't seem to follow her text. I hope it's not just me. Not trying to be mean, just trying to decipher her words.

    I love this because now I see that it's not just me (Photographer) that this happens to all the time. I have clients that message me all times of the night and seem annoyed when I don't message them right back at midnight when I am up at 4am. It's like, sorry people I have a regular FT job, go to the gym, a family, and daily responsibilities as well as my photography work, so no your photos will not be ready the day after I shoot them.

    I am so sorry you even have to deal with that. It's seems like this new culture that's growing is a "me first" society.

    Yeah, happens to us architects as well. Clients call you Sunday at 11PM with "ideas" for their project... and then expect you to have integrated them into the plans by Monday morning. And the worst are always corporate clients. I've had some ask me to spend 5 hours of each day meeting with them to show them what I had done from the previous day and when I tried to explain that wouldn't leave me time for work, they went "you still have nights, don't you?". Needles to say, I eventually dropped that project, and even though, as I was leaving, they screamed at me about how they're going to find a better, more "professional" architect than me to realise their vision, they still haven't built anything, even though it's been 10 years...
