Entitled People Who Will Make You Lose Faith In Humanity
Sometimes you just have to take the bad with the good, but unfortunately, these god-awful jerks have made us lose hope in humanity. From entitled customers to terrible parents, these stories might lead you to say “Yup, I hate people”.
Luckily, there are still people out there who are kind, compassionate and understand the value of a good relationship. We just have to look past the bad, and remember that not everyone is like these total jerks.
Bad Blood
My next-door neighbor was a wonderful person. She had a foster daughter for years, and eventually decided to adopt her.
What happened next was legal, but horrible.
The biological mother heard about the adoption and decided she suddenly wanted her kid back. After a few parenting classes and drug tests, the courts forcibly removed this little girl from my neighbor and put her back into her biological mother’s care.
This woman hadn’t seen her child for over two years and had previous cases with Child Protective Services.
About a month later, the biological mom’s boyfriend took that little girl’s life. She was this close to living a wonderful, happy life with my neighbor, then her mother ripped it all away.
Big Apple Bonehead
When I was 14, my little brother and I were in New York City visiting relatives. My brother was hard of hearing—he wasn’t deaf, but he rarely reacted to people talking to him unless they made eye contact.
We got onto a crowded elevator, and a guy—an adult—walking behind him said, “Excuse me”, but my brother didn’t hear him. So, then he bellowed, “I SAID GET OUTTA MY WAY,” before proceeding to swear.
Everyone was looking at him because an adult swearing at a child is inappropriate, even for New York. The guy made a cheesy smile and said, “Heh…Welcome to New York”.
But I made sure he’d regret ever treating my brother like that. I looked at him and said, “He is deaf”. The guy turned nine shades of white and he was trapped on an elevator for 40-odd floors with 10 people who hated him. It was pretty glorious.
Obey Your Commander
My buddy and I were at a movie and these dudes were talking about how they had just gotten out of basic training. They then proceeded to bash the movie, making rude comments out loud and ruining everyone else’s experience. My buddy told them, “Pipe down”. They flipped him off but obliged.
After the movie, we were at the front of the pack, right behind the six or seven guys who were being rude.
My buddy said, “That was really rude, how you were behaving”, and one of them—the loudest guy—whipped out his ID and said, “Yeah, well, I’m a Marine, and I fight for your freedoms”.
All my buddy could do was smirk. He just so happened to be an officer, so he whipped out his ID and said, “I’m a Marine officer, and just because you have the honor of wearing a uniform doesn’t give you the right to be a jerk”.
Then he made them stand at attention right at the door of the movie theater and apologize to every patron exiting.
She Was A Gold Digger
A decently attractive woman I used to work with started dating another coworker. He was a kind of dorky-looking guy, but he was super nice, really smart, and—most importantly—had a very high-paying position. Eventually, they got married, and he thought life was perfect. He couldn’t have been more wrong.
In the first year, he bought her whatever she wanted—a huge new house, a nice sports car.
He even paid for her to get some plastic surgery, including implants. Within 18 months of marriage, it came out that she had been cheating on him with multiple men, including men from work. No one hid it.
Over the next several months, as the divorce came and went, she continued to sleep with many coworkers. She even had several open relationships, literally and figuratively.
It was clear she only married the poor guy for his money. On top of that, she needlessly flaunted her infidelity and rubbed his face in all her post-marriage flings. Then one day, the guy didn’t show up to work, and no one could get in touch with him.
After a few days, his manager called the authorities requesting a wellness check. They found that he had taken his life over the weekend.
