This thread probably won’t be popular but bear with me while I rant and give you all a space to get some stress off your shoulders too..
I live next door to the most entitled person I’ve met in years. She thinks everyone owes her whatever she expects at that time, whether it’s complete silence, the last parking space, her dog can be loud and aggressive but everyone else’s dogs are dangerous and should be muzzled, if my children are playing in the garden they HAVE to be quiet according to her but if her grandchildren are outside screaming at 6am ‘it’s what kids do’ etc, I’m sure you get the picture. It’s hell living next door to her and feels like I’m in a house share, when she goes out I actually feel like I’m home alone (if I am) because her presence is that noticeable. Im absolutely sick of living the way we do because of her demands and rules, eg we aren’t allowed to have music on because it disturbs her peace but she will have hers on overnight and doesn’t see an issue. To make it worse (here is the unpopular part) she is in a 3 bedroom council house she doesn’t need. Her daughter is in a 1 bedroom council flat in a tower block with 2 children because she can’t afford to move. Neighbour refuses to give up the house to her daughter because of her plants- yes seriously. I overhear her constantly belittle her daughter and takes her children because she can’t house them or provide them with a garden or bedroom each (her words). (Council house point relevant to show she can move easier than if they were owned properties, and a luxury not everyone can get).
Yes I know none of this is my business but as a general sweep of the nation, this is an example of how entitled some people have become over the years and I see it day in day out. I’m disgusted by the comments I overhear from her and how this woman thinks the world owes her something while purposely being disrespectful to those around her.
I was raised by parents who had late night parties and didn’t care about upsetting the elderly neighbours. As a child at the time I wasn’t aware/didn’t care, but now I look back and feel ashamed of how they treated others and what awful neighbours we would have been.
I’ve done big favours for my neighbours, some grateful others not so much, the entitled one has no gratitude in her body who thinks nothing of disturbing us overnight to then complain my husbands van wakes her at 8AM when he leaves for work. (Many other neighbours leave earlier including a loud motorbike). If there was genuine anti social behaviour going on I’d understand but it’s all petty reasons aimed at anyone who will give her the attention she craves. It’s gone on so long I’m waiting for my gp appointment for anti depressants because it’s given me anxiety and panic attacks.
Other entitlement situations recently: I’ve been pushed aside on paths because the person believed they were more important to pass than I was. Rare thank yous for holding open doors or standing aside for others. Shop staff sworn at and abused. Witnessed our postman being threatened with violence several months back because a parcel had gone missing. School parents parking on strangers’ driveways for easier access to school. The goodness in many people seems to be long gone these days and it’s really sad to see the lack of community. I know there are plenty of good people around, but at the moment all I see is the selfishness and wonder what hope our children and grandchildren have.
Does anyone else have entitled people stories to share to help my current anger towards my neighbour for yet another tantrum where she can’t get her own way? There won’t be any judgement or criticism towards whatever you say on this thread, we all need to bitch and moan sometimes!
