People Share The Worst Cases of Entitlement They’ve Ever Seen
Let’s dive into 70+ stories about EXTREMELY entitled people. Read about customers who ask for too much and friends who act like everything’s about them.
These stories will make you say “Wow!” and might even make you think about how we should treat each other. It’s a fun and eye-opening ride into the world of people who feel like they deserve everything.
1. I’m Not A Servant
A couple of years ago, I had a study group going for a college course. We were usually together for a good 3 or 4 hours, so it was pretty common for someone to volunteer to go get food for everyone.
Since they were the person getting us food, we would all kick in a little extra so that the person getting the food didn’t have to pay for theirs.
Colloquially, “If you fly, I’ll buy.”
So one day, one of the girls in the group announces she’s going to a fast food place about an hour into the study session.
I look up and say, “Ooh, I’ll buy if you fly.”
She looks at me like I’ve grown an extra appendage and scoffs, in this really disgusted tone, “I don’t bring food to other people. Servants do that.” Keep in mind, we’d all been doing this for each other for weeks now. She knew it was a thing. I was completely floored.
2. Listening Is For Fools
There was this girl that started working at the store I worked at and one night we were scheduled to work together in the same area. People who work in an area together usually talk while performing the menial tasks so I figured I would get to know her.
She explained she was a former model and she seemed super prissy. Not to insult her character but it explains why she said what she did.
Imagine a typical conversation where you’re trading stories and comparing but every time I would talk she would say, verbatim:
“Yeahhhhh, but I don’t really care about that” and “I don’t really want to hear about that” with no proposed alternatives to conversation or anything.
It screamed, “I’ll talk, you’ll listen, and nothing else”
3. Excuse me?
Back in the day when I first began to do fieldwork, I met someone who just got his Ph.D. (and truly felt like he was it). While we were out there, an old friend who he hadn’t seen in years came up to him and greeted him using his first name.
He actually stopped the person in the middle of their sentence and said “Excuse me, my name is Dr…___” and he was absolutely serious. This was about ten years ago and I now have a PhD but I wouldn’t imagine doing that to anyone.
Really, the only people who refer to me as Dr are my students (if they don’t use professor) or if I am at a conference or something and that is absolutely fine by me.
4. A Walking Wallet
Not maliciously snobby, but a funny story from my big sister’s younger years. Her (about 12 or 13 at that point) and my dad were out buying her some new winter shoes.
My sister locked her eyes on a pair of Converse boots almost instantly, and my dad suggested at least looking around some more if she found something even nicer.
To that, my sister just said in a very matter-of-fact way: “Remember, you’re just the wallet.” Nowadays if someone from the family takes someone else shopping to buy them something it’s “tagging along as the wallet”.
