Everyone has at least one person in their lives who demands way too much and offers next to nothing in return. What remains a mystery when it comes to these unicorn individuals is where on earth their audacity lies. Seriously, if there is one thing we can learn from these folks, it's the shocking confidence to ask for (nay, demand) services they simply do not deserve. For instance, one of these folks had no shame posting on Facebook for a live-in nanny who would ostensibly cook, clean, take care of the kids, and pay literal rent on top of it all.

The only way to deal with choosing beggars, as these Redditors did, is to call out their behavior, to spell out for them why their demands are ludicrous, and to hope that something will get through to them before they make their next outlandish request. And with that, we give you this week's top choosing beggars. For more stories like this, check out this post about a resident's feud with his Karen neighbor.

    She'll marry in an empty church. Anyway, to secure your spot in our wedding party the following things will be required: - a promise to host a party (must be couples) at a venue other than someone's house. - Your wedding gift must be cash/check of at least $500. - You must buy me or (depending on which side your on) a "day of" gift of at least $100.

    - You must attend every shower/party we have and will be required to purchase a gift for each one (with a value of at least $50). - You will sign a contract that holds you legally responsible for meeting all of our requirements and says that if you don't you will be legally held to reimbursing us for the time we wasted and the stress of causing problems.

    KaythuluCrewe . The fact that in this era of wedding ridiculousness, I can't tell if this is satire or not... makes me weep for humanity.

    Hi y'all! I am looking for a live in nanny. I have a huge room to rent with its own private bathroom for $600 per month plus utilities and nanny duties. I have a 6 year old boy who is amazing to be around. Nanny duties would include hanging out with him for an hour or two each day, making us dinner twice a week and helping keep the house clean and property maintained. Possibly picking him up from school once or twice a week. I'm flexible! I just need some help. I'm a single mom with limited supp

    Are you looking to rent out or a nanny? 11m Like Reply rite a reply... 10 So not only do they want you to pay for the rent and utilities but they want you to work for free no..... usually it's the complete opposite with a live in nanny.... you're paying the nanny as well as housing and feeding them... So you expect this person to work for you full time and pay you and they will have to work another full time job so that they can pay you and work for you for free......are you nuts...????? 2h Like

    It doesn't say time. It says hanging out with the kid for an hour or 2 each day. Cooking dinner twice a week, picking him up from school once or twice a week, And helping keep the house clean. That's not close to full time. 1h Like Reply 40 ner you are generally correct but if somebody is a live-in nanny to a single parent it ends up being more than is just what is stated. Things come up in life and oh no I can't pick up the kids today or tomorrow or next week and oh yeah there's an extra load o

    1h Like Reply to say this 1h Like Reply 15 -u came here that will start as an hour or 2 then morph into slave 1h Like Reply 500 EXACTLY!! The nanny wouldn't be able to work a full time job. Sounds like mom needs help and yes... it is hard to raise a child alone. That being said, she needs to hire a person and pay out hourly. If she wants to rent the room to someone... that should be a totally different person. 1h Like Reply 20 on absolutely! 55m Like Reply

    random_outlaw ⚫ "She was given to me and to my surprise I believe she is prego." This implies that the dog arrived "prego" but CB then posts pics of a male dog and says she's going to "get them both fixed".

    CrunchyTeatime Too light winning ... Delivering an entire living room set! That's not even like asking for delivery of some clothes or DVDs or toys. They want full on moving van to pull up and movers to bring in the furniture for them. Just the moving van and movers would cost a lot.

    Most of the comments were telling her it was a good deal or offering suggestions of where to look. She also posted a picture of her child that I cropped out. To get someone to take minimum wage for these hours she would be around $480 a week, and with the cost of living here to qualify to rent an apartment you would need to make around $2000 a week. Renting a room here is upwards of $1000 a month normally.

    lucyjayne. That's an excellent price. She's not going to find anything cheaper than that, unless she wants to leave her kid with some random she found at the gas station.
