35 Times Entitled People Showed Their True Colors On Christmas (New Pics)
The holiday spirit is all about giving, and we’re not talking about gifts specifically. We mean spreading joy and love to those around you. Being compassionate and understanding and showing kindness to the world. It’s also about expressing gratitude for what you have and what you receive. This cycle of grace and generosity is what makes the season so special.
However, some people like to abuse the magical feeling of the holiday spirit that lingers in the air without carrying it in their hearts themselves. All they want to do is take and don’t even consider saying thank you to anyone. Find the worst examples of these scrooges by scrolling down below.

Geez, Having A Relative Abandon You Like This On Christmas Is Hugely Damaging Emotionally, Not To Mention Dangerous
While holidays are about kindness and all the other good feelings out there, there’s no denial that the material side of things, the gift giving, is also a part of it. And there’s nothing wrong with that—it’s one of the ways to make people in your life feel loved and appreciated.
Unfortunately, sometimes, the gifts you receive do miss the mark. Someone might have forgotten that you already bought yourself a cast iron pan or didn’t realize that orange is simply not your color. The good thing is that there is a chance you might be able to regift it.

The Holidays Bring Out The Very Best In Beggars
We’re saying “a chance” because there are certain rules you have to adhere to. After all, you do not want to embarrass yourself, the regift receiver, or the original gifter in front of everybody. So, here are the do’s and don’ts of regifting:
Do put the same amount of care and consideration into catering the gift. Don’t just regift something because you personally don’t like it or need it. Think whether the receiver would enjoy the gift and would have use for it. In other words, make sure it’s the type of gift you would actually buy for the person if you didn’t have it, if it’s something you’d spend money on. And if that’s the case, there’s no doubt you’re making the right decision.

"taking people's money"?! What are they talking about? The seller said no
Don’t regift to a person in the same social circle. That is, if you got a scarf from your aunt, don’t just pass it onto your cousin. There’s a high chance your aunt might see your cousin wearing it and have her feelings hurt. Instead, give it to one of your work friends that might appreciate it. That way you’ll avoid possible discovery.

Do keep it to yourself. You don’t have to tell the person you got the gift from that you are regifting it. Same goes for the person you are regifting it to. No one really needs to know. The only exception to this rule is if you have a very good relationship with the person and you know they will not take it poorly if you say, “This is actually a regift, but when I got this, I instantly thought of you.”
Free Christmas Isn’t Tall Or Full Enough…
But it's such a pretty tree 😞 I would have loved it if someone gifted me such a beautiful tree
I have chopped my own Charlie brown tree from the forest when funds were low. Entitled people can all jump on a boat together.
I also did that for my first christmas alone. 😊 There was a forest a mile or so away and I had the smallest saw ever 🤣 so it was a memorable task. (They didn't sell trees then, so it wasn't a money issue though)
Load More Replies...The first one, I was like, that's not bad, why is this on here? And then I saw there was a second part...
TBH, a Christmas tree isn’t a “need”, so IMO it’s still an incredibly entitled thing to ask for. But yes, the second part makes it worse XD
Load More Replies...And... this is how they became bankrupt. Total lack of money sense and a hefty dose of entitlement
This request in itself doesn't sound bad... until they showed their true colors later.
Back when I was 19, on my own for the first time, and struggling, instead of looking the gift horse in the mouth, I would’ve been over the moon happy if someone had given me a free Christmas tree. Even though it probably wouldn’t have had a lot of decorations on it, except maybe something homemade I could cobble together, it would’ve been a whole lot better than no decorations at all—-which is what I had in my place for a lot of years, until I started making better money (translation: could afford more than just rent and bills and ramen), and could start accumulating Christmas decorations over several years. I now have a lot of different ornaments, lights, and other decorations and my house looks festive instead of bare—-and each one was chosen with care, and means something to me.
When we were trying to live on the GI bill ( which also had to cover books and tuition) and the meager amount of money I made being a part-time cook ( could not get anything else) we would, on Christmas eve, find an abandoned little tree in the xmas tree lot and put that up with about 5 dollars worth of ornaments. It was heaven to us. This is just terrible. That is a lovely little tree and with a little trimming it would be just superb.
F**k I'll take it, I can't afford a live one either (or a nice fake one for that matter). It's a beautiful tree
I'd trim it a lil and use the scraps to make a wreath
Load More Replies..."I want a free Christmas tree but... Nope not that one because.. It doesn't match up to my High Faluting Standards..." ... My gosh.
At least they didn't just bin it I guess. I know people who get food from a foodbank then through stuff away they don't fancy.
Bend over I'll give you a tree, I'll even put it up for you, right up your tight a*s you scrounging git.

Ah Yes Let Me Just Deliver You A Free Fridge And Giant White Xmas Tree
You need a refrigerator, but you don’t need “a couple good size crock pots” (start with 2-3 pots of different sizes and you can upgrade your kitchen when you can afford it) and definitely you don’t need a “white 6’ Christmas tree with lots of decorations”. All these are wants and if you can’t afford them, maybe try to downsize them to your budget.
Don’t regift personalized items. Sure, you might not like the way those monogrammed towels feel on your skin or you might think the engraved locket is tacky, but they’re all tell-tale signs that it’s a regifted item. DIY things also count as personalized items, so hold on to that knitted sweater, even if it doesn’t really flatter your frame. It’s all about the sentiment that went into it.

Do keep track of the things you want to regift. Dedicate a little space for the gifts that you know will not fit into your life and keep them there. Just make sure to put a note on each one with the name of the giver, so you don’t accidentally regift it to them.

Some Holiday Entitlement From A Zero Waste Group
I'd like to see the list before I judge them. If there are reasonable options in a wide price range, I agree with this. Too many people buy random rubble just to be able to say they gave a gift. And especially for young children and families in need this is devastating. No one, even if they hide it, is happy about useless c**p. Then better give nothing. But useful and thoughtful doesn't necessarily mean it has to be expensive. And it is high time we stop being so materialistic to believe that it is neccessary and enough to gift random clutter instead of either putting in some thoughts and give something nice. It's the thought that counts, the thought you put in to make people happy. If you don't put in some thoughts, a 10k diamond ring can be useless rubble.

Don’t leave any previous gift tags on the item. You don’t want to leave any traces that show that this was a gift for you. This might make people feel like they're an afterthought. So, remove any labels that indicate that.

Do repackage it. This is your chance to give the item a new life, so spruce it up. And because you saved time and money by choosing to regift something, you can allow yourself to put in extra effort there. We all know that getting a gift that’s nicely packaged makes it just a little more magical, so go all out.

Where’s Your Christmas Spirit?!
As an artist myself, bloody hell. 12$ is actually rlly cheap, considaring multiple factors. Good job on fellow artist sayin no.
All in all, do not lose the holiday spirit. Share love and gratitude with people you encounter and wish them well. And if you come across a choosy beggar, wish them happy holidays and move on. Their bitterness is their to deal with.

This breaks my heart. Favorite Christmas was the year our shelter let us pick out two gifts for our moms. Free. I got her a blue sweater, and a pair of earrings. I don't even remember what she got me, because it was so nice to give for a chance. ( The dinner was horrible, but we were all in it together, and so grateful.)

This doesn't really belong here. They found out their stuff was damaged and are just looking to see if anyone has something similar to get rid of. It doesn't hurt to ask. If they start talking s**t to people offering things, that would be a different story.
Everytime I see the "you ruined my kids' Christmas!" messages, I just want to say good, I hate kids, bah humbug.
I'm glad I'm a grinch. I loathe Christmas and go all out creating a special time for my son. I make a note from Santa, we do reindeer food, bake cookies and leave out milk etc. Most of it costs time. The entitlement of these posts is beyond belief.
I enjoy mostly because of Christmas break from school.
Load More Replies...I made it to 19, but couldn't finish. All these people (ops I guess they're called), are POS, entitled and make me want to vomit and then swallow my own vomit. How can they really exist, then many of them procreate and their progeny grow up to become pos too.
Better than me I couldn't make it past 6 before I was disgusted at the ner5of some these entitled people.
Load More Replies...Christmas comes at the same time every year. If you want your kids to have a good Christmas, plan ahead! People not giving you free stuff didn’t ruin your kids’ Christmas, YOU did.
I had a bet with my partner that 70% would be single mom/ruined my kids xmas posts. I haven't crunched the numbers but I think I won! (I have a kid btw not ragging on parents, ragging on people trying to use kids [real or made up] to manipulate others. My crotch goblin is my responsibility not someone else's) (Edited for typos)
I know I’m getting old but isn’t Christmas meant to be more about time spent with friends and family, this list just shows up bad parenting and grifters chancing their arms. Stay humble people, no one’s gonna remember the stuff you possessed on their deathbed, you will remember the times you shared with your nearest and dearest
Why do so, SO many people have children they can't afford to take care of? Use birth control.
I guess we're going to see these every year around this time. Anyway, it is truly bizarre that people think this behaviour is normal...and is probably why they haven't amounted to anything in life and have earned enough money to buy what they want.
