Many people like perks. No, not like that. Many people enjoy being entitled, or at least just feeling entitled. Even if they do not have any slightest reason to feel a bit better than others at something, they will just come up with a reason.
This happens especially often, for example, in the service sector, where people who for some reason feel “entitled” help themselves to much more than the boundaries of decency allow. Sometimes one look at a person is enough to understand that they are entitled as hell.
And sometimes it’s not. So Reddit users shared their stories about how they had to interact with these categories of entitled people, and how to recognize them easily. The thread came out very popular with almost 2K upvotes and more than 2.3K various comments. Bored Panda has created an incredibly entitled curated list for you with a selection of the most interesting stories from this thread.
So feel free to scroll down, leave your comments – and just try to never be like the heroes of these “entitled-persons-and-where-to-find-them” stories.

Incessant Whining Over Shared Inconveniences
Incessant whining over shared inconveniences. For example, person goes to the DMV to find a 90 minute wait. Everyone else that arrived around the same time as them is also having to wait 90 minutes. But this person just. Won’t. Shut. Up about it. Like dude, we get it. It sucks. Literally no one is enjoying this experience. You’re not entitled to any faster service than anyone else, and bitching about it isn’t going to change that.

Treating Gas Station Workers Badly
I’m a gas station worker and when people don’t say please or thank you, when they’re on the phone(mostly when they’re VERY loud). When they walk in, dont even look at you, practically throw the money at you and say “20 on pump 5” and walk out.
OH! And when there’s only one person there, we have to close our store for lunch. We have a very polite worded sign on the door. I’ll be walking with my food to the back and they try and bang on the door, put their arms up like “what the f**k?? You’re not going to serve me??”
And there’s literally another gas station kitty corner to us.
Edit to clarify: where I’m from(Sacramento, California) you pay at the pump with card and pump gas yourself. I’m not stopping most people from getting gas by taking my lunch(ONLY thing that stops people from getting gas is if they’re paying with cash, but most people don’t. There’s no discount at my store by paying with cash rather than card)
The only thing they can’t get is cigarettes, beer and snacks. But as I stated, there is another gas station right across the street.
I am also entitled to a lunch, just as every other worker in America.
