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’ve no idea why that deserved an icy stare from you. And are you sure the staff weren’t rolling their eyes at you for reporting this non-event?

At a laid back, but reasonably busy festival event in a big tent, two young women and a lad arrive a few minutes before the start and then sit down very near the front. Both the girls are wearing eye-catching hats/headwear which would have distracted the people behind. Later on, at least one of them then stands in an area near the stage on her own and is unchallenged.

Sadly not..it had its own meter. I couldn't give full details as it would be outing but this is about 1/10th of the CF behaviour we were shown!

I used to be a Nail Tech and one of my clients was going on a 4 week cruise. She booked an appointment for the day before she left but then asked what I was going to do about the regrowth on her nails while she was away! I suggested she got her nails done on board or on shore at a stopover but she ‘didn’t like either of those ideas’ and just looked at me for another option. In the end I had to ask her what exactly she expected me to do given that I couldn’t stop her nails growing and I wasn’t going on the cruise! She had no answer but she wasn’t happy 😂

I always used to lend clothes for interviews. Not a single outfit was ever returned dry cleaned.
I had guests to stay and the children wet the bed and the father turned the mattress. Ditto carpet cleaning machines. Two returned broken.
I no longer lend books after by BFF lost my Christmas book from my husband.

And the classic was what is termed 'Butter Gate'. I threw a lunch. Everyone brought a plate, one lady baked a loaf. Delivered in a pretty basket. Cheapest option by far. When she left she took the remainder of her French butter with her!
She had enjoyed the smoke salmon and champagne.

I don’t think you got the memo, can’t see a problem here at all.

It sounds disgusting to me.

Rinsing a dog food bowl in the public toilets is not normal behaviour, indeed doing it at home is not normal behaviour. Unless she had brought in a cleaning spray and a cloth and thoroughly cleaned the sink afterwards, she was a CF

I don't think this deserved an eye roll.

My DM's SIL and my "delightful" cousins asked to have a look at the albums and DM gave them post its so she could order duplicates. They eventually returned the album ripped up and minus many many photos. One of the reasons I no longer speak to them.

Washing a dog's bowl in the basin in the loo is not really the some thing, especially with gravy etc in it.

I’ve never really encountered one in the wild - not that I can recall right now anyway. But I’m related to the two I recounted unfortunately - divorced one and the other I only speak to for two minutes on Christmas Day if I happen to be with my parents when she calls. Now I am thinking I must have encountered some non-related CFs roaming free in my time… will rack my brains!

I agree. Fair enough to wash a dog bowl out in your own sink but not in a pub one used for washing hands. Gross.

I was once reminded by a female friend that I should learn how to behave around people with more money than I have.
This was said in a swanky members club that I am not a member of.
And she has no idea how much money I have or don't have. The comment came out of nowhere and left me speechless. I still cannot believe it. 😆

It's the same in car parks, it can be totally empty then a car enters and parks right next to you!

I once invited a family with 2 kids over for dinner because their kitchen was being re-done and I felt sorry for them. I made pasta with various different sauce options (sauce with meat, pesto type sauce, tomato and veg sauce), tortillas, salads... like a buffet style dinner where I figured everyone (including my own husband and kids) would like something. The mum said "This isn't really dinner is it? I was expecting something like steak and potatoes..." I thought that was rude...

It’s a sink and it’s gravy which will go down the sink. People wash their hands with faecal germs on them and that goes down the sink.

A friend and I decided to start putting in a £1 each and doing the lottery every week. She never got round to giving me any money but a couple of years later asked if we could start it up again. I said sure, just set up a standing order. No, she decided that I could keep paying and if 'we' ever won I could just take the £1 a week she owed me out of 'her share' of the winnings!

Some people can’t park straight unless they’re next to another car!

Did you delete? I hope you didn't help him!

@Phoebesparrow omg that is absolutely fucking cheeky my jaw is still on the floor! 😯

My entitled CF was also over a pre-booked seat on a train. I was going to visit one of my sisters and it was a 5 hour journey. I can't stand on trains because I have arthritis in my ankles so I always pay to reserve a seat on a table with a plug socket and it didn't cost much at this time only a few pounds extra. I get on the train and there is someone sitting in my seat with their phone charging.

I politely said to him "excuse me but you're sitting in my seat" he replied calmly "those seats are free you can sit there" whilst pointing at the seats opposite that had no plug socket. My cheeky fucker alarm bells started going so I replied firmly "I paid to book that seat and I will be sitting in it. Now please move or I'll get a member staff to move you" CF huffed then got up and moved his stuff but left his phone charging which got my back up even more so when I sat down and unpacked my stuff I unplugged it and plugged mine in CF rudely told me "I need to charge my phone" his rudeness, entitlement and utter cheek made me snap so I rudely replied "well you should have booked a seat with a charger like I did you rude dickhead" he looked shocked at my reponse but I didn't care had he moved right away and asked nicely I would have let him charge his phone but I refuse to reward entitled cheeky fucker behaviour.

Another one was in the supermarket it was so busy and I'd cued for 15 mins and was next whe this lady with one item walks to the front and puts her item in front of my shopping . I politely said there was a cue and she replied that it was ok its one item. I know I could have let it go but her tone and the entitlement pissed me off so I told her no she isn't cutting in front of me. She then turns to the cashier and tells her to just scan her item so I said to the cashier if she allows this lady to cut the cue I'll be speaking to the manager, cashier then called the manager and the lady was arguing that its one item she's in a rush. At which point I said to the manager that myself and all the others behind have cued up why should she be allowed to cut and the other customers agreed so the manager told her to get in the cue like everyone else. She was furious but cued and spent the whole time giving me daggers but I didn't care I hate cue jumpers their entitlement annoys me.

I responded to stop him emailing or texting me as my work number is on our work website which is definitely where he got my work email from. I definitely did NOT help him, don’t worry!

WickedWitch - remind me not to sit in your seat😂

They were rude.

A Meghan Markle moment.
