Entitled men/women. Have you any corkers? I have plenty of examples :-)))

[Rjae]

Pretty lighthearted thread to laugh at some of the crap we have to put up with from the master race. It's nice to know I'm not alone!

H used to complain if I served up his dinner too hot, as in 'and now I've burnt my mouth'. he wouldn't dare say this now, he'd be wearing it

Or 'I was trying to have a shower but it was cold, didn't you hear me calling (no, I was outside) ...why is it cold....the washing machine and dishwasher are going, ....but I was going to have a shower.... I'll try to brush up on my mind reading skills and in the meantime check your fecking self

I could go on of course, but give me your absurdity to laugh at please

My ex once criticised the way I'd put his clothes into his drawers. (TBF I may have packed them in a little tightly - when he opened the drawer some of his socks sprang out of their own accord.)

I never put away a single item of his laundry again.

I have a colleague at work who is Mr Entitlement. He is a lovely fella to get on with, but he just seems to feel that the rules shouldn't apply to him. So he will come over and say "Pockets, can't we authorise this holiday for my team member?" and I'll say "No, because we're fully booked - you know the limits."

And he'll reply along a variation of "Yes, but I'm [Mr Entitled] so surely we can make an exception?"

my parents once told me that they wouldn't babysit my kids any more because I wouldn't look after their cat (that repeatedly shit on my carpet when I had a toddler underfoot)

An ex bf and I had gone for a walk in the park. At my instigation, we sat on a bench. When we got up, he tore his trousers on a nail sticking out surreptitiously.

He went mad and said it was all my fault he had ripped his trousers because I had insisted we sit on the bench.

I was very young and instead of seeing it for what is was (an idiot blaming me and being bullying), I was very apologetic. LOL at my youthful self.

Ex-bf once got very cross with me one morning because he had wanted to have sex the night before and I had fallen asleep. . He gave me a big lecture.

Dickhead.

That was years ago but he has since come back with the mother of all entitled attitudes. Wish I could discuss but would out myself.

My new neighbour had a bit of a tantrum when i took their bin bag out of my bin. Theirs was full and in their old road, no one minded (ha! my arse!) them doing that, so obviously I should conform and let them use my bin space, even if I needed it.

Friend's ex used to eat most of the treats my friend bought in the weekly shop, on the day it was bought, leaving none for her, their children, friends dropping in etc., which he was entitled to do as his salary had paid for half of it. She ended up secreting in random places a) biscuits and b) copies of all important documents and a running away fund.

My ex was furious I hadn't told him it was mother's day. The card and present I bought for my mum when we were out shopping, a trip on which I said "we must get mothers day cards and presents" and later "look at this card and present I've bought for my mum" were not enough of a hint. Apparently, he's not a fucking mind reader.

Oh yes, my XP. Apologies in advance because it isn't particularly funny or lighthearted but it is breathtaking in its wtf-ness.

I asked him once, if he thought he was entitled to have sex whenever he wanted just because he wanted it (because you know, I'm not a blow up doll)?

I remember him answering, in a rather calm and matter of fact voice "yes, of course - if I want to".

Said charmer also used to sulk if I wanted to go to bed at a different time to him.

My DH ate most of the post-partum toast after I had just delivered DS. He had had a leisurely breakfast at home whilst I was in labour in hospital (I had been admitted on the ante natal ward the night before) - I had eaten nothing since leaving home at 5pm the previous day.

At the time I was too elated at DS's arrival to say anything, but he has been reminded of it on plenty of occasions since!

My XP fell out with me when we were first married because I didn't put his clean socks back in the sock drawer properly.

Apparently socks should be rotated in the drawer, so the clean socks go to the back to ensure even wearage, and had to be balled in the correct fashion to ensure the elastic didn't wear out!

From that day, until we divorced, less than a year later, I only did my own laundry

My ex H got his Mum to come round and watch DD1 whilst I had a nap (DD1 1 day old) because he was still tired from drinking the night before and apparently I'd unreasonably left hospital earlier than he expected.
She was cross with me for not considering his need to sleep, as was he.

My ex put off giving up smoking when I was pg until the day I came out of hospital with DS.

He then snapped at me all day which culminated in him shouting at me that I wasn't being supportive enough to him in his efforts to quit.

He wonders why I'm not keen to get back together...

My DH complained that I didn't pair his socks correctly when we were first married. I have never ever put his socks away ever again. He also suggested I might like to iron the towels. Ha ha ha ha! I got over my stary eyed newly wed domesticity pretty quickly after that and he now does his own ironing. To be fair he does far more of that sort of stuff than I do now...turned out that worked best as he just cared about it far more.

My boyfriend at uni lived on a monthly allowance from his parents, I had a student loan (plus some money from my parents too). He used to spend all his money on new CDs at the start of the month and then live on toast at the end of the month when he was skint.

We lived together in the 2nd year, and paying the bills and buying food other than cheap white bread for him to eat had to come out of my student loan as he never has any money. When we moved out at the end of the term (having broken up), I settled the final gas and electric bill but asked him to do the telephone bill. He was so cross at being made to pay a bill and so resentful that I was making him do a simple piece of admin, that I couldn't do much more except congratulate myself on my lucky escape from him.

A parent from last years cohort (i am a teacher) had a HUGE meltdown, making official complaints to both the head and governors, because when i had split the year group into the new classes for the following academic year she (the mum) wasn't in a class with HER other mummy friends. (She fully acknowledged that her child was perfectly happy with the class split). Jesus wept.

What is it about socks. My ex used to rant about the fact that I never paired his socks, he thought I was so incompetent at laundry that I used to lose them.

When we split, but lived in same house, he'd have a sulk when I changed my and dc bedding but not his. Despite the fact we were both working. He never once changed his bed. In a year! Nice.

And I used to get the sulks about sex. Basically every time i went to bed early apparently I was out of order for not suggesting sex. Even if he'd been a complete dickhead all day (see above) he still thought he should get sex. Did;t seem to understand you have to be a little nice to someone before that would happen.

Stbxh, became distraught, when the TV remote went AWOL.

At the time I was running a house, doing all the housework:cooking:shopping/ laundry, you name it, doing everything for the dc, up at night breastfeeding, and working from home 7-10pm. This left him welded to the sofa and, y'know, l-o-n-e-l-y, of an evening.......

When he couldn't find it one Saturday, he came and got me, feeling oh so hard done by, pleading in the voice of a 6-yr-old 'it's my only pastime, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'

I found the remote wedged in between the sofa cushions.

Twat.

Am getting divorced very soon - hurrah - better late than never

Laundry - particularly socks - seems to be a recurring theme!

One from my DS's teenage years: he had rung me at work in the afternoon to ask if I could leave work early and come and pick him up from college (about 15 miles from where we lived and about 45 miles out of my way home) because he didn't want to get the bus due to some chavvy idiots on it had wound him up the day before.

He was having some confidence and MH issues at the time so I said okay, just this once. Left work an hour early, drove the extra distance, picked him up. Tried to make conversation on the drive home, he wasn't having it.

As we got towards our house I didn't take the usual turn off and he said "Where are we going?" I said, "Oh, I just need a couple of bits in the Co-Op."

"Oh for fucks sake mum, can you not drop me off at home and go on your own?!"

Reader, I murdered him. I did not in fact push him out of the moving car, but it was a close call...

My former boss (marketing director of an LSE-listed Plc) used to borrow money from the junior staff on Fridays leaving them stuff for the weekend so he could buy the drinks, as he 'never carried cash.'

^^ leaving them short!

When separated, but living in the same house my cheating ex knocked on my bedroom door. I ignored it, but he called my name through the door with some urgency. I relented.
Me - 'What's wrong?'

Him - 'You haven't laid a clean towel laid out for my shower!'

Me - 'Welcome to your new life'. I couldn't stop laughing, and he got more and more annoyed.

My xh sent me an email detailing everything that had been wrong with my 'unrealistic expectations of our marriage' (throughout which I worked full time and contributed 50% of everything, despite being the lower wage earner - but I 'unreasonably' used to ask for help with things such as getting a 7ft artificial Christmas tree in to the loft, lifting large bags of compost out of the car etc.) It ended "You are more than welcome to respond but as the above are all facts in my opinion, I don't really think there's any point in you doing so".

O...kay.....

Ex-boyfriend told me that, of course, he expected me to obey him.

Oh how I laughed.

Fucker.

My ExH moaned because he had to drive home and cook dinner after I had had hand surgery. With hindsight I now know that what he was actually moaning about was that he couldn't go and shag OW because he had to collect me from the hospital.

XH emailed me to ask if he coukd put in a PPI claim for our old mortgage. We owned the place for 2 years and he paid nothing towards the mortgage or bills because it all went on booze. He even took the pound I'd saved for catfood.

Tosser.

He paid nothing for 1 year, not both. But still...

Where to start?

Xhtb

...complained so much about bloody socks not being paired in his drawer saving him optimum 30 secs of his important time, I binned the lot and bought identical pairs of replacement socks, so they'd all match.(I was even pleased with myself for thinking of it. Idiot that I was).

..woke newborn baby in morning when I'd been up all night with him so he could say bye before work!

...woke me (when I'd been up all night with baby ds) to check I'd made his feckin sandwiches because, and I quote ' it was the least I could do.'

I could probably fill this thread....and that's before starting on his mother's behaviour!
