30 Infuriating Encounters With Parents Who Think They’re Above Everyone Else (New Pics)
Beggars can’t be choosers, or so the conventional wisdom goes. But what if one wanted to forgo not just conventional wisdom, but common sense in general? Parents can go a little crazy over their kids, but some take entitlement, demands, and absurdity to a new level.
This internet group gathers the most egregious examples of absurd entitlement and we’ve picked the best examples of parents in particular. Unfortunately, many adults think that just the fact that they have kids entitles them to special treatment and free stuff. When this delusion collides with reality, sparks can fly, so scroll down and get ready to roll your eyes at the most bizarre things parents have demanded without any real justification.

What A Deal! Yoy Can Earn 52¢/Hour!
pico diablo 1 year ago (edited)
Fixing the post ... $25 (per day) ÷ 13 hours = $1.92/hr. ... ... The OP mistakenly divided 13 by 25 ... ... ... [Edit: This assumes a 5 day work week, ... but even if it was only for one day of work, $125 for 13 hours is $9.62/hr. which is less than minimum wage in 34 U.S. states.]
All these stories fall into the broader category of ‘choosing beggars,’ people who don’t seem to have the means to get what they want but will also turn down a good deal just because it isn’t perfect for them. On the surface, there is a sort of logic at play. Imagine going to a food court and asking every single table for a free meal. The vast majority will, at best tell you ‘no,’ some will probably flip you off and call you crazy. But you don’t need everyone to give you a free meal, just one person.
So by attempting this sort of ridiculous strategy at scale, you might find at least one person who will give you what you want. This is perhaps annoying to most of us since the average person wants to be helpful and polite and will feel bad for saying no. But it’s generally a waste of time that could be used to find or acquire the cash to just buy a meal yourself. In this article, we have a special breed of choosing beggars, not one that is playing the odds, but one that, for some undiscernible reason, thinks they are entitled to some sort of special treatment.

Love It When They Get Called Out
The common thread is that all of these are parents. And not just normal parents, but deeply entitled parents. This combination can be amusing from a distance, but deeply annoying if one has to deal with them up close. Studies show that entitlement is associated with poorer social engagement, more inappropriate behavior, and, most importantly, decreased emotional regulation strategies. If we can be permitted to flip the logic here, people who are socially inept might not even understand just how entitled they are acting.

Stalking And Bullying A Child For A Free Drawing
StumblingThroughLife 1 year ago
Wow! If I'd been the girl's parents, I'd have reported the woman for approaching a minor in such a way (they may have done, hopefully).
Butterfly_Cavewoman 1 year ago
Wow. She's lucky the parents didn't go to the police. Who the f**k thinks it's ok to harass a young girl over a drawing. This woman is insane

And being very blatantly excluded (I'm not believing the "it takes too long" and "I ran out of room" excuses). But this is not the way to deal with it (I'm not really sure if this is something to even deal with).

If she was my daughter, I'd be slapping a protection order on Karen and alerting the school of her dangerous behavior. Seriously. "I MIGHT be TA"?!?!?!?!? Oh honey, you are definitely 100% dyed-in-the-wool, grade A double as***ole.
Magpie 1 year ago
I work in a public school, and can guarantee that this stuff is absolutely real. We had one a*****e parent climb on the bus when her kids got dropped off to scream at a third grader who didn't want to play with her kid, also an a*****e, at recess. We had her arrested.

In addition to making a complete a$$ of herself, this woman embarrassed her son . This woman is a karen in every sense of the word. Threaten a little girl? Karen needs therapy and meds, and owed her son a big apology.

Of course she is the A but I still wonder why you would draw a whole class except a few people and show it to everyone, i mean.. pretty sure that must hurt the ones who were excluded

As a kid (and still at 52 y old) I draw cartoons and caricatures.. I used to draw people in class all the time. I would have drawed him too, but make him look ridiculous!!
Magpie 1 year ago
Why? Why would you mock and bully this kid? It's not his fault. He was already intentionally excluded and hurt but he was just going to let it go. His mom is the psycho here, and I'm sure he's dealt with being embarrassed and mocked for his mother's b******t.

Asking For Christmas Help
Awkward lady 1 year ago
Nowt wrong with Lidl, I shop there all the time! Maybe I'm not entitled enough!
The origins of entitlement are pretty varied. Some use it as a bizarre coping mechanism to counter the fact that they haven’t gotten what they wanted in life. If we romanticize a belief in karma or cosmic justice, people who are down on their luck might believe that the universe, or more specifically a Facebook marketplace seller, owes them something. This is never actually the case, but it leads to a cycle where they think they are mistreated, leading to more entitlement. The engine for this whole psychology is simply delusions.

This Grown Man Whining About A Baby Sitter That Asks For 3 Dollars An Hour
Nikki Sevven 1 year ago
'Babysitting' is when you're there for a couple hours while the parents go out to dinner. If it's M-F from early morning to late afternoon, it's daycare.
On the other hand, people who grew up spoiled internalize the idea that they just deserve special treatment and struggle to comprehend that random people who don’t know them aren’t going to just hand over items or large discounts. We can all relate to the disappointment of not getting what you want, but most well-adjusted adults also understand that it’s generally the default setting. I wake up with the desire for a four-month paid vacation pretty much every day, but I don’t lose my mind when it doesn’t just materialize out of thin air for me.

This Choosing Entitled Parent Wantz Zoo Staff To W*nk Of An Elephant.. An Actual Elephant!... So Her Child Doesn't Ask Questions
GoGoPDX 1 year ago (edited)
Why are parents so freaked out about talking to their kids about bodies, sex, and stuff that is natural and part of life? Any question my Son has ever asked, we and we have given an age appropriate honest answer. We want him to grow up with the correct knowledge, trust us, and feel comfortable talking to us, so when he is older, he can feel will be more likely to talk to us about this stuff. Why would it be so hard to just say " that is the elephant"s penis" A 3 year old knowing what a penis, testicles, vagina, vulva, etc. is is not a bad thing.

She Would Probably Not Pay Either
It’s not just internet users that suffer from aggressive and entitled parents, research suggests that their children, the ‘card’ these adults often play, also end up doing worse. Parental engagement around the house tends to bring positive effects, but parental engagement at the child’s school was connected to lower academic performance. Potentially worse, the wrong kind of parental engagement also teaches this entitlement to the kids, who will no doubt then embody it in the future.

Wants Art But Has Parents In The Hospital And Kids To Feed???
Add in the general ignorance of everyday life and you get people who think fifty dollars is enough for a week's worth of work with kids, that gaming systems should just be free, and next-day home delivery of items that they demand a 90% discount on. The cocktail of deranged and entitled does create some potent viewing experiences, but one can’t help but feel bad for the individuals who have to deal with these people. Even worse, the kids that will be raised by them in the fantasy world where one can get expensive items free of charge based on the concept of cosmic justice.
