Tough news: you'll never be totally free from the entitled people in your life. You can try to keep only the finest people in your inner circle, and attempt to keep the peace at your job… only to encounter the most entitled client or awful customer you've ever faced off with. It's times like these that you'll need to take a deep breath, pull your mouth into a customer service smile, and remember that this bratty behavior will become a hilarious memory for you to tell all your friends about someday. 

The most entitled people never understand that their self-importance is absolutely going to become the start of an inside joke for all the workers around them. Do they really think that anyone is going to take them seriously when they're insisting that a $2 price difference is a life-or-death situation? Please, we all know they're full of hot air and have way too much time on their hands. 

Next up, read about the delivery worker who stood up for herself when a coffee shop requested a delivery of 8 gallons of milk and 6 bags of ice while leaving a measly $2 tip: "I called out a very successful coffee shop."

    [deleted] Used to work at a call center doing tech support for Apple products, specifically iOS. devices. Had a 19 year old girl tell me she had cracked her fifth (!!!) iPhone and needed a new one ASAP. I explained that she would need to either mail it in to us or take it to the nearest apple store so we could replace it.

    She literally said "Oh my god you expect me to go to the STORE?? JUST GET MY PHONE FIXED!" Then I explained that if she didn't want to go to the store she could mail it and that if she went with the most expensice shipping options we could get her her new phone in three days. She thought I was joking.
    via u/[deleted]

    The call lasted for another 20 be minutes because I think she actually did not understand that there was no way for her to get exactly what she wanted immediately. I quit the next week.

    The... When I was in the military, there was a private (PV2) in my unit who told the first sergeant, "I'm not trying to pull rank or anything, first sergeant, but my mother is a major." He literally thought he could boss around the command team because his mother outranked them. He ended up getting chaptered.

    EDIT: To answer questions, the first sergeant went appropriately ballistic. The soldier ended up in the front-leaning rest (that is, doing push-ups) for an extended period of time and received a developmental counseling form. His mom also got a courtesy e-mail to let her know what her son was up to. The soldier eventually received

So he would come over, and I had an Xbox and a Nintendo 64, which was pretty cool btw, but anyway he would come over and just play it while I watched. This was

    pretty boring for me so one day he came and I said I didn't want to play games, I wanted to go outside and do something. He got real mad, and said if I didn't want to play games we couldn't be friends anymore. I, already having developed the "f you" attitude, said fine. I guess he didn't expect that

    Pojodan Was at a shopping center and came out to head to my car and heard someone honking repeatedly. Curious, I went over to look and saw a car sitting in a lane, turn- signal on, with 5+ cars behind them, going to town on the horn as someone sat in their car with the engine running in the closest parking space to the door, clearly content to sit there

    hiesther My room mate my freshman year of college was a sweet girl, but grew up insanely wealthy. She was so entitled but clueless as to real life so it wasn't annoying, more entertaining. Some gems from her: -"where do you buy bottled water?" -"I have to change my own sheets??" (This was in October. We moved in in August. Gross."

    -Thought we had a maid... In a college dorm. Another time she asked me to go to the ATM with her because she didn't know how it worked. She needed like $300 in cash to buy football tickets for her family. The withdrawal was declined because she didn't have $300 in her account. She looked at me and said, "Am I poor?" with the most heart breaking face ever.
    via u/hiesther
  • 19
    Turns out she thought her family's money was in some big account that they all had access to, bc she'd always had a credit card and that had never been declined. We had a lesson about personal finance and just the way that banks operate in general after that.
    via u/hiesther
  • 20
    She ended up being a good room mate after she learned that we did not have a maid and she had to clean up after herself. She wrote me a sweet note when we moved out thanking me for my patience with her. She was entitled and spoiled but ended up just being a little spoiled by the end of the year. It was nice to see her become self aware and change for the better.

    Drunken_Consent I've probably seen worse cases, but this happened yesterday so it's definitely fresh in my mind. I work at a car dealership and I was writing down some information while a customer was on the phone with their insurance. They were back and forth on hold, talking to different people, trying to figure out why their rate would go up so much.
    via u/Drunken_Consent
  • 22
    I'm there trying to finalize a few things. I guess she had to write something down. that she was talking about. She takes the pen I'm using to write out of my hand, takes the notepad, rips the page I was writing on off and throws it down next to her, then begins writing talking into the phone like "yeah, uh huh, mhm, right, right"
    via u/Drunken_Consent
  • 23
    I'm sitting there with my jaw literally on the floor. Normally I wouldn't say anything but I made a little mention like "Oh, if you needed a pen I'd be more than happy to hand you one" and she looks up and goes "You are MY salesman, you are here to work for ME. You can do what you want to do when I'm done here." Politely asked her to leave, told her to have a great day.

    [deleted] Freshman roommate in college chucked a massive fit because, after buying her a ton of presents, buying all her friends dinner, and going on an additional shopping spree, her mom wouldn't buy her a $450 purse.

After my tutoring session he was asking if I had plans and I thought he was just making small talk, so I just said that I was working and spending time with my boyfriend, nothing special. He scoffed, gave me an attitude, and he said that he was tired of girls like me.

    Tired of helping girls like me and getting nothing in return. I asked him to clarify himself by what he meant in return, and he told me that if he was going to tutor an attractive girl then that girl should reciprocate by going out with him, etc. When I was challenging that he got more and more irate and started spewing some awful sexist sh. I noped out of there so fast.

    chocolate787 I worked as a busboy at a seafood restaurant when I was younger. The issue with lobsters that people don't realize, is that no chef can control how much black sludge gets inside it (The black substance is made of eggs that were resorbed when caught). Most lobsters don't have it, but when they do, it's perfectly normal and safe to eat it.
    via u/chocolate787
  • 32
    Anyway, a women happened to get a lobster with the substance in the tail and immediately flipped out about it. The manager was sent over to assure her it was normal and that there was nothing to be alarmed about when she interrupted her by screaming "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? I AM THE EDITOR OF TIME MAGAZINE!!!".
    via u/chocolate787
  • 33
    The manager paused, said "good for you ma'am" and continued on about how the lobster was fine. I was 15 and was shocked by how snobby an adult could act...as well as confused as to why her being an editor of a known magazine meant she deserved more than other guests.

My senior year I saw a girl go into a full on screaming, tear filled, rant at her father in the parking lot after he'd surprised her with a brand new, fully loaded, BMW. She had wanted a Mercedes and straight up would not accept the gift.

Then they commanded I get them piping hot coffee right this instant because the are "in a rush"... so I ran to the coffee shop downstairs (which they easily could. have done themselves, but I was happy to do) and got them some "piping hot" coffee. Then they all drank every drop of their stupid

    coffee. But then when I brought them the bill, they got mad that I was making 20% gratuity off their meal...so they fought tooth and nail for me to remove the coffee from the bill because, "even the second round was too cold for their liking." I'll remind you, this meal was FREE FOR THEM because their department was covering it. But they felt the

    need to spend 15 minutes talking to my manager only to reduce my tip by 90 cents. I dealt with a lot of entitled customers at that restaurant, but these three stand out to me the most because I felt like they were trying to "put me in my place," and make sure I remember that I am servile and they are superior in every way.

    I get it, cold coffee is annoying. But it is hard to convince a person that cold coffee is the "worst thing in the world" when her tips are the only reason she can even buy coffee.

    RedSquirrelBBQ I work at a bakery, where I often have to take orders for cakes, cupcakes, donuts, etc. We have a policy for orders that you have to enter them two days in advance, but we often are able to do last minute orders anyway. So anyway, a woman comes in one day in the middle of our 9'o'clock rush. She wants 7 dozen donuts, which we can do,

And I reply, "I'm sorry, we can't do that! We only make donuts overnight." So she huffs and puffs and demands we make 7 dozen fresh donuts. I refuse, because that simply can't happen, we are too

    busy to make donuts during the day, it's simply not an option. She then turns her eye to the racks of donuts we have out and says "give me those". Keep in mind, we have a storefront full of customers waiting in line, most of them patiently waiting to get a few donuts. It'd been a busy morning, so we didn't have THAT many donuts. Actually, we had about 10 dozen left. And this woman is telling me to give

    via u/RedSquirrelBBQ
  • 63
    To which I reply by informing her that if she does that, these customers likely won't get donuts. She then turns around and shouts "I'M TAKING ALL YOUR DONUTS, HAPPY???" Which elicits a collective murmur along with a few toddler tantrums. I was so disgusted by her behavior that I refused, but an older coworker told me to get the donuts and shoe her out. I

  • 64
    had to give 70% of our donuts to one woman while all our customers and their children and friends and etc. watched. It seems a little petty typing it, but she truly. did not seem to have a shred of empathy for any of them. I had to turn away loyal, regular customers that I know by name who come in every Sunday morning because some woman thought she was entitled to all our donuts. Screw her.
