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.

Yes I had to stop myself thinking about the CF bloke and his feral kids after seeing them. It would have spoiled my lovely walk. Also depressing that the kids will probably grow up to be entitled shits like the father.

She probably sat in her correct seat, even though the whole cinema was empty.
🤨

What must've happened to people like this woman to turn them into such terrible, immoral people in later life. And how on earth will their children turn out like.

Theres nothing like a voluntary organisation to bring out the CFs. I used to be a beaver leader and my son was cub age. He had to come with me to beavers as I couldn’t leave him at home alone at the age of 8 - the other leader had the same issue and her older son came too. They joined in but always went last and were reminded it was a beaver night.
one CF parent while dropping off their beaver child asked if they could also drop off their cub aged child as well. He was massively put out when we said no and complained to our senior. He just couldn’t understand that the reason Anne and Jane’s boys were allowed to stay was because we were the bloody leaders - if I couldn’t have brought DS then I wouldn’t have been able to volunteer! He was told if he wanted to volunteer then of course the older boy would be accommodated as well like ours but strangely enough he didn’t take us up on it!

@SlightlySeethrough that’s appalling - really, really appalling.

@SlightlySeethrough bloody hell that wins first prize on this thread for me. Unbelievable!

He probably just doesn't think of others sadly.

I live on a farm where the landlord rents out glamping pods to the public. I have nothing to do with it.

It's all self check in, info emailed when you book. My landlord was away and a guest who just arrived approached me in complete fury as the pod they had booked had guests already in. I asked them to check their email again to make sure they had the right number, gave them my private WiFi to check etc. I called my landlord lots of times but there was no answer. Guests at this point are FUMING, they had driven from London (to Cornwall) with three young kids and they looked done in. The dad gets up his email and shakes it in my face "LOOK SEE! POD 5!". He's angry and the mum is going off saying how this is unacceptable and what was I going to do. I read their email and it turns out they were going to the right pod, they had just shown up a week early.

I had to explain to them their mistake. They start screaming at each other and then turn to me and demand somewhere to stay. After eventually speaking to my landlord we have no spare pods so can't help them.

They refused to leave the carpark for ages, saying that we had to help them because the booking dates weren't clear enough. Said we should provide a tent or other accommodation because they had driven so far 😂

I gave them loads of local recommendations of places to stay and went into my home and ignored them.

A lovely scout leader told us that she had had parents complain about the way activities were run or whatever & say ‘I’m paying you to look after my child!’ The group charged £1.50 for a 2 hour session at that time!

I was going on a girls' holiday and had a bit of space for extra luggage. I sent a text in the group chat to ask if anyone wanted me to bring them anything (we live in different countries and were meeting in Dubai). Someone in the group chat who is friends with my friend but not really my friend privately messaged to ask if she could order "a few" items to my address that i could bring a long. When her order arrived, it was an entire suitcase of holiday outfits from a popular UK brand. I had intended to travel light. To cut the long story short, i shipped her "few items" via DHL and had her pay for it. Needless to say, she was frosty with me the entire holiday. I did not even know her that well!

Because he’s a CF and he thought it would get him around the laws on deprivation of assets if he needs care in the future.

I remember that thread. Can’t remember if you replied to not. What an entitled little prick!

@FruitPoppet You have the patience of a saint!

Germs pass through toilet paper. Don't you wash your hands after?

You are better than me. Honestly I would not have let those children in my house. I would have called the police and reported abandoned children.

Absolutely agree. I was Treasurer for DCs football club for a few years.Every so often I would receive an email complaining about the subs parents were asked to pay. It was never from any of the volunteer coaches or helpers. I would go back explaining that the Club was run by volunteers but had to pay for pitch hire, referees, insurance (especially) and so on. And I learned that the guaranteed way to ensure there was no comeback was to always finish with a breezy "the Club is always keen to find ways to make things cheaper for everyone - the next Committee meeting is 8pm on Thursday evening, do please come along and share your ideas... "

we have a website called DoneDeal in Ireland, it’s brilliant for buying and selling items to other people, but it seems to attract people like this.

I was selling 2 concert tickets, and a woman called me and said ‘I need 3 tickets’ and I said ‘yes but I only have 2’ and she was like ‘yes but I need 3!’ this sent on for a few minutes.
So I texted her, once I had another offer just making sure she didn’t want them, no she needed 3. I said I was going to sell them to someone else so.
Then she called me just before the concert saying she would take them, I said ‘I sold them’ and she was like ‘oh I should have taken the 2 tickets, are they really gone?’

Someone once advised me never EVER give anything away for free on FB marketplace or NextDoor. Always charge something - even £2 - to ward off the CFuckers. More than once in the past I have advertised things for free and found myself apologising that I wouldn't be able to take said thing down the stairs, load it in my car and drive it 3 hours across London.

Since following the 'nothing is free' rule, I have much less CFuckery interaction on FB

I’m not sure who’s worse in this scenario, tbh.
Who lets someone live in their house rent free and actually funds their food as well for eighteen months?

Never mind all the germs on the flush and door handles from previous users.

I volunteered and had a work position for a very large charity. Once a year the volunteers would have an afternoon tea type get together.
Volunteers would make and bring in the most delicious cakes... think black forest gateau, carrot cakes, lemon drizzle.. it was something we all looked forward to. Cups of tea, endless cake, a real get together when we don't see each other that often.

One of the volunteers was a right pain and always on the make. Towards the end of our get together he took out something folded up... it was a huge piece of tinfoil. He proceeded to flatten it out on the table and had put one half of a carrot cake in it when I spotted him and said..
'What the hell are you doing?'
'It's a shame to see this go to waste, I'm filling my tinfoil sheet' says he.
'No, you are NOT. It's not going to waste, I'm dropping some off to volunteers on the way home, and the rest will be for the volunteers tomorrow, now just push off, you've eaten enough!!'

When we were first time buyers (and naive) we were due to complete at noon on the Friday. The sellers asked if we could give them until Saturday morning to move out as they had a one year old.

We were really excited to move into our first new home but agreed. I was working Saturday so that morning my husband turned up, with his friend, to move in.

They hadn’t even moved out. The husband was on his own with a van he’d hired. My husband and his friend had to help load the van - or we never would have moved in.

On top of that the house was filthy. The house wasn’t much more than ten years old and was pristine when we viewed. It’s as if they stopped cleaning and intentionally damaged everything since we’d last viewed it.

I felt sad but I felt really sorry that their little baby had been crawling around in that filth.

Some land became available that ran across the back of mine, and my neighbours house, we approached the owners and asked if we could buy the part that ran at the rear of our gardens. It was al signed, sealed and delivered and registered at the land registry - so a done deal. I wanted to refence my entire garden to encompass the new acquired land. I ran it past my neighbour, as I would be putting a fence up between our too properties and I explained I was happy to pay and she was fine. The fencing was due to go up in a months time.

A couple of weeks later I heard thudding from by back garden, I looked out of the window and could she two workmen in my newly acquired garden, sledgehammering bedding border along side a path to put stakes in. I ran out and asked what they were doing and to cut a long story short she was putting a chicken wire fence up on my land because she had decided she wanted the path for her grandkids to ride their trike along.

They would not stop even when I proved to them that it was my land.

I sent a very polite letter (in the circumstances) telling her to remove it. My solicitor said I can't touch her property (the fence). She basically laughed.

Well two can play at that game.

My fencers came to fence all three sides of the back garden. They did two sides and when it came to the side shared with this neighbour, she refused to remove the chicken wire fence. So I had the fencers, step over her shitty fence and put my f6ft fence up 2mtrs further on, just inside my boundary so it was on my property line. There was nothing she could do.

She was really annoyed and called me all the names under the sun and when I came back in the house, she asked the construction workers if they could take her fence up for her. They came and asked me (they didn't want to do it) and I said no, because I paying for them and not her. She had to ask nicely for her fence and I said I would pull the cheap stakes out if she agreed I was not responsible if they got damaged when I was pulling them out. I did this in front of witnesses.

When I was back in the house and the fencers just had the last panel to put up between our too houses, she asked the fencers if they could make it a gate so she could get into my garden for fruit! Cheeky cow. Again they came and mentioned it and the last panel was put in and no gate - she even expected me to pay for it apparently!

Two weeks later I had them back to nail all the panels in as her son had pulled a panel out when we were away so his kids could pick the blackberries and raspberries in my fruit cage and taken some rhubarb! Apparently I should be thankful that they hadn't let them go to waste! But I was growing them to bake with! Thank god for CCTV!

Out local pub has deck chairs in the garden. A couple of women got up from the deckchairs and disappeared. We assumed they had gone so DH and I went over and took the seats. I sat down and DH went inside to get drinks. 15 mins later one of the women comes back and says the seats were theirs and can we move. I said no because you both left. If you wanted to keep the chairs then one of you should have stayed , but empty seats are open to anyone. She then started arguing and saying ' but we just went inside to get drinks' and I just said ' but you left the seats empty. How is anyone to know what you were doing ?' . She stood there for a few minutes trying to pressure me to move and I just said no and ignored her.

What a nasty post. You have no idea of the circumstances.
