This article highlights various examples of entitled behavior online, ranging from demanding gifts and free services to violating rules for social media clout. It examines situations where individuals feel entitled to things like financial support, special treatment, and access to private individuals or locations, often driven by a desire for social media validation.

Where did this woman even get the idea that a man you just started dating — who you don't even like — should pay your $10k in rent? Your brother got you three gifts, and you felt so entitled to know what they were that you threw a fit? Yeah, I'm not surprised you feel like a little kid.

I can't even conceive of the level of self-absorption and entitlement it takes to put a flyer like this up. This mama-to-be created a whole system to shame people who didn't bring gifts to her baby shower, and yet has to ask if she's being"dramatic." Does this person really think their social media friends will think they're the good guy in this situation? It seems like they just can't handle being called out for their awful behavior. Same with this mom, but for a very different reason. Her son already got a footballer's jersey. You're not entitled to professional athletes' time after every single game.People go WAY too far just to snap a pic for Instagram. This tourist broke the rules by getting way too close to a member of the king's guard, just so her 20 followers could see. The key word here?"Gifted." Stop expecting free stuff! If you want to make an anniversary special, then do it yourself! I swear, there's a genuine epidemic of people pretending their dogs are service animals to get them into public places right now. I feel like this person's parents never taught them how birthdays work. It's not a time when a bunch of near-strangers give you gift cards?Not here to cause drama or play victim, but I genuinely left the library today feeling humiliated and judged, and I want to know if I’m actually in the wrong. This morning around 11, I took my three kids to our local library. It’s not school holidays, so I thought it’d be a great time for them to pick some books and have a calm morning inside for once. We usually go to the park, but I was tired and just wanted to sit with a coffee. We were in the kids’ section, the area with toys, picture books, soft mats, etc. My toddler was toddling around the tables squealing with two blocks in hand, occasionally jumping off the reading cushions. My 6yo was throwing Duplo around yelling “lava monster” , and my 8yo was under the table making cat noises and swatting at ankles as a joke . I was supervising and making sure they weren’t hurting anyone. They were just energetic not malicious. While they played, I sat down and FaceTimed my sister . She wanted to say hi to the kids and show me how things were healing. I didn’t have headphones so I had her on speaker, but the volume wasn’t loud. We chatted for about 25 minutes while a cartoon was playing on the TV nearby so it’s not like it was dead silent. Yes, my toddler had a few screaming moments over sharing, and my other son dumped out a box of picture books to “build a trap.” But again this is a children’s area. What do people expect? Anyway, an older woman came over and in a very passive-aggressive tone asked, “Could you please take the phone call outside?” I explained I was talking to my sister post-surgery and we’d be done soon. She walked off shaking her head and a few minutes later was whispering to the staff. A staff member came over and told me they’d received “several complaints.” I was asked to end the call, supervise the kids more closely, and was also told that food wasn’t allowed . I was polite, but I honestly felt singled out. There were other noisy kids but I guess because I have three, I’m apparently not supervising properly? We left early, and I just felt so judged. I’m a single mum doing the best I can. My kids are high-energy, creative, and not robots. I’m not going to apologise for them being curious and playful in a space meant for that. If you want complete silence, maybe don’t sit in the toy-filled kids’ corner and expect a spa day. So, AITA for letting my kids be themselves in the children’s section and taking a FaceTime call which was not that loud, or was everyone else just being dramatic?Maybe the host has some other things to worry about, like, I don't know, their house burning down? Just a thought! It's perfectly valid to warn an airline ahead of time about severe allergies, but I have a feeling this person is exaggerating or lying about the coffee smell thing, and the water bottle part reeks of entitlement . Also...no airplane fuel on an airplane? This biker defied all safety precautions to try to pass a railroad crossing before the train came, then ended up almost getting hit, because YEAH. THE GUARDRAILS ARE THERE FOR A REASON. The mental gymnastics this driver must have gone through to convince himself that OTHERS were the assholes is honestly impressive. Bringing your OWN security to try to enforce your will is a level of entitlement I can't even begin to comprehend. I want to believe this didn't happen, but unfortunately, I've learned all too well how entitled some people can be. I don't know why it has become so acceptable to blast music off speakers EVERYWHERE. You can get headphones for a relatively low price these days, comparable to the cost of speakers. No one else wants to listen to your music in a public space! It's especially bad at the beach, but this person really brought it to a new low with an ENTIRE DJ SETUP. Even without speakers, playing videos loudly on your phone in a public space is pretty bad. Even worse, this is some weird religious AI slop. "Not sure what IHOP is thinking." Um, probably about profit, like every other business in the world. If you want milk at a grocery store price, eat at home.Sure, no worries, I bet no one else wanted to use that spot to put their boat in the water! You don't own the street in front of your house! Though I'll cut this person some slack, as they must be five or six years old, considering the spelling errors. I really want to know how this woman thought her conversation with the person who had the next appointment would go. I will never get people who actively choose to break the rules, then act all surprised when there are consequences. What point is this lady even trying to make? She was the one who was late. If she missed the ship, that's entirely her fault. And finally, let's end on all the people who used their vast wealth to get places faster and screw over the planet while they're at it.
