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.

  • On November 2019, me and a couple of my friends who I will call Hailee, Rose and Rachel were given an opportunity to travel to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Note that we are archeology graduates.

  • While our families and friends were excited and proud of us of being able to go on this trip, Rachel's family did not feel the same way. Rachel's younger sister who I'll call Lisa was the golden child of her family, anything she wanted, her parents gave to her,

  • I held on to our plane tickets as we were all to meet up at my dad's place in the morning before we head off to the airport. At the time, I still lived with my dad.

  • That said, as me, Rachel, Hailee and Rose were at my place, just hanging out and getting ready, the car of Lisa and their mom pulled up as they came knocking on my door.
    via AriaAc
  • Apparently, they were demanding one more time that Rachel give her ticket to Lisa. Lisa even had a couple of bags with her as well.

  • Hailee then interjected, interrupting them and pointing out again, that this was not a vacation, this was an archeological trip and we were going there to do actual work.

    via AriaAc
  • Apparently, Lisa (despite not being friends with us at all) and her mom expected the rest of us (me, Hailee and Rose) to just somehow convince customs to let her through and get on the flight, as well as expecting us to look after and accompany Lisa.
    via AriaAc
  • I should also note, that apart from Rachel, nobody in her family ever travelled on a plane before, Lisa and their mom have never been overseas and the only international travelling their dad

  • I then pointed out to Lisa that if she really wants to go to Egypt, she could just buy her own tickets to Egypt and book her own accommodation. However, Lisa said she didn't want to do any of

  • Lisa and her mom eventually left after seeing that trying to argue and force her way into our trip was not getting them anywhere, with the four of us (me, Hailee, Rachel and Rose) flying off to Egypt.
    via AriaAc
  • 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.
    via AriaAc
  • 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.
    via AriaAc
  • 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).

  • Snow_Character I hate the awful "what's yours is mine" mentality. I deal with it all too much at my job. Rachel worked her a off for this trip, she deserves this trip. Lisa can kick rocks and sit on a pine cone.
