If the world isn't in a confusing enough state currently, we now have such entitled people that they are stealing from you and then complaining about what they stole… Yep, you read that right. Can you believe we've gotten to this point? Sometimes people act in such perplexing ways that it truly makes you wonder who the heck is raising these psychos? 

 

In the case of this insane entitlement, it was a person taking advantage of a good host. A woman hosted a small little dinner party with her close friends. They were obviously allowed to bring a +1 and she still treated them just as well as her friends. She said the usual, "Make yourself at home!" Which, we all know, just means feel comfortable, maybe help yourself to food, that sort of thing. It does NOT mean you can take anything you fancy… That's theft.

  • It turns out not everybody knows that these days… This friend's +1 straight up took a box of chocolate that was hidden away. When she opened it and found dried mango instead she was upset. So she came to complain to the host, aka the person she stole it from, as if she were customer service at Walmart. Are you perplexed? Because the host sure was and we sure are too!

    So this literally happened just a few weeks ago, and I'm still baffled.

  • Electrical_Turn7 Clearly we have reached the point of needing to be painfully literal when giving directions to people. I can't even with this woman.

  • Melo... Have you already talked to your friend to let him know his girlfriend is a THIEF???? And that she had to nerve to go back to the place she stole from and make demands????

  • IllustriousComplex6 Went to a BBQ of a friend a while back and someone's new girlfriend brought tumperware and took all the remaining brisket because they were told something similar. The host's who did the cooking hadn't even had any yet!

  • Firthy2002 I take "make yourself at home" to mean feel free to use the facilities, help myself to drinks and food, watch the TV, etc. Not steal whatever isn't nailed down from the owner.
