Who doesn't wish they had the audacity to expect expensive clothes for free just a little bit? Obviously, we all want to be grounded, mature, and self-aware individuals in theory, but every so often, it would be nice to have the guts of an entitled choosing beggar. 

In this case, the Karen in question did not exactly get what she wanted, but she really did think she was entitled to it. The Redditor posted two coats they were planning to give away: one of those coats was, in fact, for free while the other was being sold for $400 since its original price was $900. The choosing beggar made it clear in their communication that she was requesting the former coat for her daughter, but when the two of them met up for the exchange in person, she thought she could negotiate otherwise.

    This happened in person so I don't have screenshots. This happened at the start of last winter.

    Context- I was clearing out-selling some stuff and giving away other stuff.

    I put a medium TNA jacket on my local buy nothing groups. For those of you who don't know- this is a mid range brand- it was almost $300 new.

    It had a bit of wear here and there but was still in great condition- clean, still warm, no rips etc. Had the fake fur on the hood.

    I also had a second jacket for sale on marketplace. This one was a mackage jacket that was almost new- it was size small.

    It had the real fur on the hood. It was almost $900 new. I had it for sale for $400

    A lady contacted me about the free TNA jacket saying her daughter was in desperate need of a good warm winter jacket.

    She had some questions which I answered. She understands about the wear spots and says size medium is perfect for her daughter. Even sent her

    additional pictures. Made sure she knew it was the tna jacket she was to come get for free because I had a a funny feeling for some reason.

    She had commented on the post that clearly said tna jacket for context. Set a time for pickup. So far- all good.

    When she gets to the meeting point, she looks at the jacket and looks visibly disappointed- makes a little face. I ask if anything is wrong.

    She said that it's not the jacket she thought it was- that her daughter had her heart set on one with fur on the hood- this one had fake fur on the hood. That she really wanted a fitted style-this was fitted style.

    And that it was her daughters "dream" to have one of the shiny jackets with real fur and she thought that's what I told her she was getting-

    not possible she thought that with all the confirmations I gave.

    I ask her if she means the other jacket- the mackage. She says "OMG, YES, she NEEDS it to fit in at school" - tells me to go get that one. I said no.

    She argues with me that I told her she was getting that one. I didn't.

    She was then getting upset about how her daughter deserves the best and that she shouldn't be stuck with "someone's worn out, crusty hand me downs"

    (meaning the good condition tna jacket she had actually agreed to). And that she deserves nice things even if her mother is a single mom.

    She had no response when I pointed out that if a medium was perfect for her daughter, an wouldn't fit. small

    I ended up walking away with the perfectly good. tna jacket and gave it to someone who actually was appreciative.
