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 mean, personally I think the airline shouldn't split minors from adults in the first place. This deliberate policy to force people to cough up money for something that is supposed to be optional and that literally costs them nothing riles me up so much. And then other passengers complain about the parents rather than complaining about the airline that deliberately created this situation in the first place.

Dd (now an adult ) is autistic so when we went on our last holiday we got her a sunflower lanyard.
In the airport the staff were amazing, we were taken straight to passport control and fast tracked security. No one questioned her having the lanyard.
A couple tried to follow us at passport control and were stopped and told to go into the regular queue.
The woman complained loudly about Dd saying she ‘didn’t look disabled. And anyone can get one of those (lanyard) ‘and wanted ‘proof’ ‘
She was asked to stand back by security and was then removed by them after she called one of the staff a ‘c**t’

In the evenings, after my full time day job, I volunteered at an adult group, think, serving tea, administration and facilitating group meetings. I was asked to let members know, that we were short of volunteers for some events and ask the members if they were free. One lady was quite indignant at being asked and said 'you must be joking! I do have a life you know'

Its so transparent and rude isn't it?

'toilet goblin'

I've never seen that expression before. Fantastic!

I work in a university and a student failed most of his economics exams so was told he had to resit the year but without classes so from home. Kicked off massively and said we should pass him as his parents have brought him a house to live in, in the university town. An hour after the meeting in then had the parents calling saying an exception should be made for their son as they have already purchased a house for him.

Some people (not me!) do like to be near other people. I guess they assume that other people are also happy for them to sit close by.

I used to get on really well with a work colleague and we became friends out of work too

She's always pleading poverty,can't afford a pint of milk but can afford all her 'wants'

Anyway,she had a dog (that she claimed she couldn't afford to feed) and then fancied a cat so bought herself a kitten

Her mum said she'd pay for friend to go with her to see family but the pets couldn't come (this was a few years ago)

So she asked if I'd have the dog and I said yes as he's lovely and we enjoy having him

I said I'd buy his food and no money was to be exchanged-this was a favour (she'd found someone else to deal with the cat)

We picked him up,had him and dropped him off-all good

Fast forward the following year and she asked if we'd have him again-no problem

The year after,my adult ds had brought his dog (same breed) to visit us and she was admiring his dogs harness and lead that he'd bought from the posh and bloody expensive pet shop near my work

She asked if we'd have him again,we where delighted and had him for the 10 days she was away

We dropped him off and she was really off with us-i couldn't put my finger on why

I soon found out-she'd been going around everyone she knew,telling them that not only had we saved her a few hundred pounds in doggy care and fed him on our own money,but we hadn't bought him the harness and lead that ds's dog had and that her dog 'deserved it'

She fully expected me to dump almost £100 on an overpriced harness and lead to replace the shabby,falling apart and smelly one he had

I laughed and told dp we where never having him again (which is gutting as we do love having him)

Her face when she told me I was having the dog the first week of September (this was last week) and I said it was best not as it caused friction last time had to be seen to be believed

She can pay for her doggy care AND a new harness all by herself cos I'm not doing it!

I remember reading that ages ago.... when I re read it then I thought oh no have I gone onto an old thread 😅

I used to volunteer at the Bath Kid's Lit Festival and one year we moved a child who was deaf down to a front row so he could more easily lip read. We did this sort of thing all the time for children who might have difficulty, for whatever reason, following what was happening on stage. Cue a very entitled mummy who saw us moving him and his mother, who charged down the aisle asking why, in a very loud voice, they were getting preferential treatment? I explained but it didn't stop her. "If HE gets moved to the front, then so should we!" Her voice was getting louder and she was doing a lot of arm waving and pointing in their direction, so you know, very obvious, even if you are deaf, that she had a problem with you. Having done back to back shows in the heat and been up all night with my own sick child, I really had enough of her.
"Does you child have a disability we should be aware of?"
"No."
"Then go back to your seat and be grateful."
Amazingly, she did, didn't even threaten to report me to someone, but I was furious to turn around and see the boy in tears with his mother and another volunteer trying to comfort him. Apparently, this stuff happened to them all the time because the child wasn't obviously disabled and it was really beginning to get to him when they were out in public. He was eight.

I HATED volunteering at the Lit Fest and gave it up soon after.

Apparently, Meghan asked to borrow Kate's lipgloss prior to an appearance on TV! Never found out the result.

SIL asking my DH numerous times if he wanted to help her buy a house by giving her 25-50k.

I am so fascinated by CF’s that I’ve considered, honestly, doing a psychology course to try and understand their mentality,

You’d need to only deal with the extremes though, on a lot of cf threads not everyone agrees they’re cfs, and I feel that some of them do have so many problems that the posters could just let them off

Probably the same person who parks right next to a disabled driver blocking the hatches so they can't open their door fully. Plenty of other spaces. Same with empty car parks.

Really cannot see the problem here either! Management probably had a good laugh at you .

Hahaha, I remember your thread! 🤣🤣🤣

Previous neighbour arranged for massive bits of furniture to be delivered to our house instead of his as he was on holiday.
He didn’t ask me so when it arrived I refused the delivery. I was 7 months pregnant and there was nowhere to store it anyway.
He had a go at me when he got back as couldn’t understand what my problem was. 🤷🏻‍♀️
He was also furious when I turned our outside tap off from inside our house as he kept using it then leaving it running.

That's hilarious! But I'm glad she was prosecuted. Imagine if everybody started painting their own double yellow lines, disabled parking spaces, speed limit signs etc to suit themselves!

My mum needed a trench dug at her house to install an outside water pipe to an outbuilding that butted onto my cousins land.

Partner and I hired a digger.....all the while looking at diggers in my cousins yard. He was a groundworker but wouldn't do the work or let us borrow a digger. Now have a guess who uses the outside tap we had installed!

We’ve also had the plane seat CF-ery.

My husband and I pay to book aisle seats next to each other (so just the aisle between us). A young couple had been allocated middle seats - one next to my husband and one in front of that aisle seat.

By the time my husband and I boarded the plane the CFs had installed themselves in my husband’s seat and the middle seat next to his. Seemed grumpy that he asked the CF girl to move to her own middle seat in front of her CF boyfriend.

The CFs!

I thought Kate said no and that kicked off the complaints for the ongoing five year estrangement!

I did this before and ended up moving 3 times, never again will I be so kind!

Lipgloss.

Does anybody else read threads like this and think PPs must be lying because nobody would have the brass neck to actually act like they do in these stories??!!
I'm not accusing any PP of lying by the way just utterly amazed at the sheer audacity at some of the CFs in these posts! I don't have any of my own that I can think of to add and I'm beyond grateful for that as it appears I have thus far been blessed by not crossing paths with CFs

Can you turn it off from the inside. As suggested by another poster. I certainly would turn it off it was me.
