There's this general idea online and in life that pregnant people deserve special treatment. You're probably holding your breath reading this, wondering where I'm going with that statement—and before you get too outraged, let me just say that, yes, absolutely, that idea and treatment is resoundingly deserved. After all, they're growing a whole new person inside of them—an astonishing feat that deserves special recognition before you even factor in the ordeal of troubling side effects that come along with growing a whole new person inside of you.

BUT—give me a second, don't get outraged yet—it stands to reason that there are plenty of entitled people out there in the world, and there are plenty of entitled parents with children out there, too. So, at some point, those entitled people will become pregnant, and those entitled parents will have been pregnant, which leads us to the logical conclusion that there are entitled pregnant people out there… Like this pregnant woman who insisted that she be able to have a random woman's chair that she brought specifically to take the weight off her bad feet and knees.

Readers resoundingly voted that the aunt wasn't in the wrong here, but see the original post below and pass judgment for yourself.
