Don't you love it when people act like they are a much bigger deal than they actually are? As if the whole world revolves around them even though all they do is sing in a small-town band nobody knows? That's right, no one likes people like that, and someone has to tell them that, otherwise they would keep wandering around thinking they are entitled to everything and everyone.

Luckily, there are good samaritans out there who are willing to put entitled people like these in their place, like the guitarist in this Reddit story. He was a member of a small band that was popular in his town and had to deal with the lead singer's self-centered behavior, like demanding the guitarist drive him around for shows. After a few incidents where the lead acted like OP (original poster) was his chauffeur, the guitarist decided to put him in his place.

    He wanted to argue and told me he wasn't ready yet, I told him that as soon as my gear was loaded I was gone. So he came out to take his ride home.

    to... OP 2d ago Edited 1d ago It was his stunned response and making a 33 year old grown- man depend on his "mommy" for rides. And I didn't get kicked out, I quit that band. And that's a whole revenge story in itself.
