Real Stories About The Most Ungrateful People
Spare a thought for the ungrateful people of the world. The people who just can’t see the good things that others do for them, or who insist that they need more from everyone in life. These people make our lives miserable, but they make themselves miserable more than anyone. Here are some true stories about people who really need to learn about gratitude.
Driving to Dispair
I have an ex who begged her dad for months to get her a jeep instead of the nice Jetta she drove. He finally broke down and got her the jeep and really tricked it out (fog lights, lifted suspension, new paint job, etc.).
She drove the car around the block once and decided she didn’t like it. The look on his face was so saddening.

Good Guy Surgeon
My father was a surgeon. He never turned a case down, and frequently did pro bono work. I worked in his office when I was a teen, filing insurance. One case was a woman who had a lump on her breast and no insurance.
Because the lumpectomy was positive, he operated on her, avoiding a radical mastectomy.
On the day of her follow-up, he had been called to the ER. She began to berate him to the staff for being so inconsiderate.
When he came in the office, she saw him through the reception window, yelled at him for wasting her time, and told him she was going to go find another doctor–all in front of the other people in the waiting room and the nurses and staff.
She also said she was reporting him to the medical board, which she did. They investigate every complaint. Hers was that he was “curt” with her and rude. They spent his time on this investigation about a month later.
She stormed out of the office and never returned. He absorbed every fee associated with the case, and still didn’t stop donating his services, which makes me proud to this day.

Old Flowers Need to Be Replaced
An ex-best friend of mine from college got into a fight with her boyfriend, and as an apology he said he would send her flowers. The day the flowers were supposed to arrive there was a huge snow storm so they weren’t delivered.
The flowers ended up coming a day late, but she refused to accept them since they were now old flowers, and demanded he send her new ones.
The poor delivery guy just stood there awkwardly while she screamed at her boyfriend over the phone about the “disgusting flowers” and how she NEEDED new ones. My opinion of her changed after that little melt down.

Litigious Attitude
A story my father told me from his work. This guy got so fat that he couldn’t fit into his car anymore to get to work, so a co-worker offered to give him a ride to work in his car every day.
The fat guy was leaving work, getting into the guy’s car and used the above door handle to get in. Due to his immense weight, he ended up pulling the handle off and ripping part of the roof of the guy’s car right off and he fell down into the parking lot.
The fat guy tried suing his work saying it happened on company property so he should get paid for his injuries. They determined that since he had already clocked out that he didn’t qualify. So guess what he did.
The fat guy ended up suing the co-worker who was driving him to and from work everyday saying his car was unsafe and he endangered him.
