Tell me your stories of entitlement

[Spidey66]

We’re in the US ATM . We flew London to Seattle so a long flight. We paid extra for premium economy seats, and got good seats.

just before take off, our (front) row were approached by a mother with a new baby (looked like only 3-4 months or so) asking for someone to swap because she had a baby. To cut a long story short, she didn’t get it and stormed off in a huff. Turned out she was actually in economy and wanted a premium seat without premium cost and was wanting one of us to pay premium price and sit in economy! Isn’t that the height of entitlement!!! She thought we should bow down to the fact she had a baby!

I love hearing stories of entitlement. Tell me yours.

I love my children very much. But it annoys me when people put their children above everything, including other people’s needs and rights etc. we have to fit into society!!

Exactly! Had she asked politely I would have let her go ahead but I refuse to reward entitled and CF behaviour. I often let people go ahead of me if they have one item and I have a load of shopping. But when my CF alarm bells ring I don't budge.

😊

I imagine some money had changed hands with security!

Nasty.

It’s the ex husband “toilet goblin” the phrase is now getting a cult following

Ok sorry :-)

I thought you meant me! I am very oversensitive :-)

@Breadcat24 That reminded me of when we moved in. A couple on the next road who had 2 huge cars and a work van popped round to see if they could park on our drive every Saturday night as they found it hard getting a space when they came home from a night out

Quite a few years ago, went to the cinema with DD. It was one where they gave you allocated seat numbers even if you didn’t pay for VIP seats. I booked premium seats for me and DD by the aisle. Went in and lo and behold our seats were occupied plus the two next to them (there were four people in total). I double-checked my tickets and asked them to move so we could sit down. They made a fuss, but I stuck to my guns and they eventually moved.

A bit later, someone else went up to them and told them that they were in THEIR seat, this couple didn’t push it, went and sat somewhere else. Shortly thereafter a third couple, approached the second couple who were now sitting in their seats (because CFs wouldn’t move) and made them move. In the end the attendant had to sort them all out. At first DD was mortally embarrassed that I had insisted on having the seats I had actually booked, but after the fiasco that followed she understood why.

Def not. Easy to think that sometimes on here though so I understand

Trip to the cinema to see The Smurfs last month.
A few families chatting during the trailers.. as expected. A woman was on the phone and carried on her conversation after the film started.

It reminded me of the scene from scary movie!
Her children looked mortified and then she decided halfway through the film they were leaving and loudly instructed the children where to go. It’s like she didn’t realise there were other people in the cinema or just didn’t care.

Many a parent popped their heads up and turned to give her evil looks.

My 5 year old asked me ever so innocently but perfectly timed…’Mommy why is that lady being so rude? Cinema is no talking time’

All the retail stories about people bringing used stuff back for a refund! People are outrageous about bringing stuff back. I talked to a man who owned a jewellery store in Dublin years ago, he said it was very common among the posh ladies of D4 to bring back jewellery they had worn for a special event over the weekend that they had bought on Friday, reeking of perfume. He said it was like World War III in the shop on a Monday morning.

This thread has been brilliant! All the stories seem to be about travel, so it makes me feel a lot better about working from home and not commuting, despite the isolation, about never flying, because we have to many idiot animals to afford a holiday and about cancelling my gym membership and working out in a spare room at home. I seem to have cut out 90 per cent of the areas where CFs lurk!

Asked to swap seats with me in the theatre so they could sit together, except her seat was a restricted view seat with a post blocking the side of the stage and would have cost about £50 less than my seat. Huffed all through the performance.

Something similar. The house we bought was vacant possession and had been empty for some time. We rocked up on moving day with a car full of stuff and two removal vans behind us to find two huge SUV’s parked on our driveway. There was no way we could get furniture and other stuff past them so we knocked next door to see if they could tell us who they belonged to. Turns out it was them - they were having their driveway paved and had decided to use ours.

It wouldn’t have been a problem if they hadn’t kicked up an almighty fuss about moving the cars - despite seeing our predicament. There was no room to park near their house on the road and they didn’t want their precious status symbols out of their sight !!

When people pull round something in their cars, forcing me to brake on my side of the road. So I wait and then they don’t wave to say thanks. I always wonder whether the driving test changed over night and I got my sides of the road muddled up.

Oh and another one, in a leisure centre cafe asked if she could go ahead of us in the queue because she only wanted one item, I said no, I only want one item too and my parking ticket was about to run out.

i asked my mum when my nana dies could i have her demis roussos LP's...she called me a vulture...i was 11

Am so sorry to hear this. Awful.

seriously..nit picking over nothing..haven't you got nothing better to do

😂How did you get hold of a photo of my ex?! 😆

Not you! My ex! It’s an uncanny likeness I have to to say! Now someone needs to update me on Pot Noodle Wanker as I missed that thread!

Now you're just being provocative.
