‘Lisa got jealous as she felt that a trip, taking photos of herself there for Instagram would help “launch” her modelling career’: Entitled “influencer” sibling forces her way onto sister’s work trip despite zero qualifications or connection

We all have those moments when life feels wildly unfair. It's human nature to look around and wonder why some people seem to get all the breaks. But most of us, even in our grumpiest moods, eventually come to terms with the fact that fairness is a man-made concept, not some universal law. Good people don't always win, bad people don't always lose, and sometimes, the universe just throws random opportunities into the air like a bridal bouquet. It's frustrating, but most of us manage to grit our teeth, move on, and maybe buy ourselves a consolation coffee.  

But then there's a fascinating subset of humanity: the special breed of childlike beings who don't just feel life is unfair—they believe the world personally owes them a cosmic do-over. These are the people who see someone else's hard-earned success, opportunity, or joy and think, "Clearly, this was meant for me instead." They skate right past envy and crash headlong into entitlement, fully convinced that they're the rightful owner of whatever shiny thing they've laid their eyes on. Their logic isn't based on merit or effort. It's based on the deeply flawed belief that simply wanting something should be justification enough.

  • This was exactly the case for one group of friends heading off on a professional trip of a lifetime. When the entitled sibling of one member got wind of their plans, she decided the opportunity should belong to her instead.

    Backed up by equally delusional family members, she tried to force her way onto the trip with no qualifications, no planning, and a lot of demands.

  • After the dig at the Valley of the Kings, we did get to go and do touristy stuff such as touring Cairo and seeing the Pyramids of Giza.

  • As for Lisa, while she still posts a lot on Instagram, she seems to have given up on a modelling and/or influencer career as she's now just working in a warehouse. After the pan mic, she did get to go on vacation to Cancun though but that's about it.

  • EDIT: I make it a point to print out paper copies of the tickets as I prefer using paper rather than just showing them my phone and needless to say, yes, we all had our passports and visas (except Lisa who had a passport, sure but I'm certain didn't have a visa).
