As human beings, we should feel entitled to a few things: fresh air, sustenance, a roof over our heads, freedom, the right to work and earn an education. Some people, however, have gotten a little too comfortable demanding things that they believe the world owes them. And lucky for us, other, more sane individuals, are happy to catalog their behavior and share it online.

Below, you’ll find photos and screenshots of some of the worst examples of entitlement from various subreddits dedicated to calling out old people, "beggars," moms and dads, and even some “entitled idiots.” Clearly, entitlement comes in all shapes and sizes, so enjoy reading through these frustrating posts, and be sure to upvote the ones you can’t believe are real!

    This smart kiddo will never see that money again. And this is a painful lesson to learn. When others find out you have and they want, especially if they’re family, they’ll take. And her mom did this to give to a friend? Kiddo needs to pocket as much cash as she can and once she’s 18, get her own account. And consider moving asap. Or get a rental agreement. Money between families is almost always ugly.

    Keep Your Kids Inside Or Ill Call The Cops (Found On Facebook)

    electrodudesmith Report

    You should never be scared to go after what you want in life. Hard work and dedication can certainly go a long way. But when it comes to steamrolling others, demanding things you don’t deserve and simply being a jerk, well, there are plenty of subreddits that will be happy to put you in your place. One of which is Entitled Idiots, which describes itself simply as “a place to share when someone is being an entitled idiot.” 

    And if you’re looking for even more content putting entitled people on blast, feel free to check out Entitled Beggars. “Ever known that really overly-entitled person you met who constantly begs for free things and does nothing in return?” the group’s moderators ask. “This is the place to share those stories!” These groups feature screenshots, anecdotes and photos that might make your blood boil. But they serve a common goal: teaching the world to stop being so entitled!

    If you’re a parent, perhaps you’ve come across your fair share of entitled moms and dads along the way who make you want to rip your hair out. Well, if you need a place to vent, why not check out Daddy Cringe on Reddit? This group, which has amassed nearly 15k members (or “cringers” as they call them) invites users to share a variety of stories featuring entitled individuals to be read aloud on their YouTube channel. And if you’re looking for even more stories of entitled moms and dads, have no fear. The Insane Parent Stories subreddit is here!

    And last, but not least, we’ve also featured some images on this list from the lovely Entitled Old People subreddit. This group has nothing against your lovely elderly parents or your 80-year-old neighbor who occasionally brings you freshly baked cookies. But it doesn’t hesitate to call out entitled individuals who seem downright delusional. Whether you’re in kindergarten or a senior citizens home, there’s no excuse for acting like everyone owes you something.

    For most of us, demanding free photos for your wedding or a complimentary meal just because you’re an influencer sounds absurd. But somehow, every now and then, someone makes it to adulthood without being put in their place enough and voila! They become an entitled adult. According to BetterHelp, a sense of entitlement “is a personality trait that is based on a person’s belief that they deserve privileges or recognition for things that they did not earn.” And there are several potential causes for this mindset. Sometimes, these individuals were given anything and everything they wanted as children without ever facing obstacles or being told no. Other times, personality disorders, such as narcissism or antisocial personality disorder may be contributing factors.

    Entitlement can also crop up as an attempt to overcompensate for past wrongs, BetterHelp explains. For example, if someone has been mistreated, abused, or grew up deprived of love and affection, they might begin to demand what they grew up lacking from others. This entitlement is rooted in victimhood and can cause major issues in both personal and professional relationships. When entitlement stems from a personality disorder, the individual might simply perceive themself as superior to others or view themself as above the rules in some ways. “I don’t have to wait in line because I have places to be!”

    There’s no question that navigating relationships with entitled individuals can be frustrating. In fact, it can actually lower our wellbeing. But according to research, it’s also difficult to be an entitled individual. “Entitled people have high expectations that often go unmet, which can lead to disappointment and psychological distress,” Emily Zitek at SPSP writes. “Entitled individuals are also more likely to have difficulty maintaining positive relationships with other people, and they often believe they are being treated unfairly.”

    There's a lot of people on BP who complain about posts and other peoples' comments. I advise taking Red's advice: don't complain, YOU chose to look at it/read it XD Edit for clarification: I don't mean debating or disagreeing with the post or comment in an intellectual manner of debate, I mean when people read something they don't like or don't agree with and immediately attack the poster with racist, bigoted, or just downright mean stuff/threats/etc XD By all means debate! But don't comment something like "we don't care" like Blue did above XD

    The good news, when it comes to entitled individuals, is that they’re not all doomed to hold that mindset forever. It probably won’t be easy to adopt a healthier outlook on life, but according to BetterHelp, it’s possible to overcome a sense of entitlement. One strategy that may help is to stop comparing themselves to others. “Someone with a sense of entitlement may benefit from remembering that they don’t need to compete with others and that they can accomplish their own goals and dreams,” the experts explain.

    It can also be useful for entitled individuals to make a list of goals they want to accomplish, as well as what they’re willing to do to reach those goals. This might remind them to be realistic about what they can achieve and understand that effort has to be put in to make progress. It’s also crucial to learn how to handle setbacks, when trying to overcome a sense of entitlement. “The feeling they may get from accomplishing a goal on their own is likely going to be much greater than receiving something without investing any significant effort,” the BetterHelp team notes. And as hard as it may be for them, it’s helpful for entitled individuals to see situations from another person’s point of view, as they likely haven’t considered it on their own.

    You can want what you want. You can dislike what you dislike. It becomes entitlement when you demand it your way with complete disregard for anyone else.

    Living in the present can also be a helpful tactic when combating entitlement. They have to let go of negative situations from the past and keep an open mind. And of course, they must be reminded to treat others with respect, compassion and gratitude, the BetterHelp team notes. “If they are genuinely kind to others and commit to acts of selflessness without expecting a favor in return, others may feel a desire to return the same goodness to them.”

    Well, even though boomers did have it a lot easier—-and I am not at all defending the s****y boomer attitude, no way. I’m a late boomer, 1960, and totally missed the boomer gravy train, so I’m more like GenX, tbh—--most of them still had to work for what they have. They had to put up with a lot of s**t too; long work days, a*****e bosses, unchecked and actually condoned (by management and the establishment, ffs) harassment if they’re women and POC, companies that stole their lives and made them strangers in their own families, burned them out and threw them away right before their 401Ks vested or sold thei company and the new one drained the pension fund they contributed to their whole working life then took the money and closed the company down, all while management’s often repeated retaliatory threats of withholding of well-deserved raises, bonuses, and promotions, as well as being laid off, fired, and blacklisted hung over them if they didn’t toe the line and just put up with being underpaid and treated like s**t, plus all the other typical Draconian, cruel, abusive, predatory, dog eat dog tactics used in unbridled and unregulated capitalist business practices—-that we’re only now finally fighting against. Yeah, they may have had advantages that don’t exist anymore, but that doesn’t mean they had it all that easy.
