If you've ever worked in the retail business, you've probably come across entitled customers of all kinds. First, there is the elderly Karen who yells before you get a chance to say hello, then there is that gruff middle-aged man who seems to be going through a mid-life crisis, and finally, there is that grumpy teenager who thinks they should be worshipped.

This story is about such a teenager. Barely out of his sophomore year, he strutted into a video game store with an air of entitlement. He told the employee he had preordered a certain game, and expected to receive it. The employee saw that the game was rated M — and he couldn't just give it to him without proper ID. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the kid didn't have an ID on him. He began ranting, 'Do you know who I am?' only to be turned away by a very firm employee.

As it turned out, that kid was actually someone… someone horrible. Check out what happened next, and then for more, here are some classical art memes to enjoy while you're out on a stroll.
