Entitled Friend Rages After Losing Free Netflix Privileges


It's quick stories like these from troubled folks in Reddit's AITA section that might make you feel especially grateful for not having to put up with a horrendously entitled friend. This particular "friend" pitched nothing short of an entitled fit after losing her free Netflix privileges. And then when she gets called out for complaining, she just blames her whining on that being part of her venting process. There's venting and then there's making a stink out of a friend reclaiming what's rightfully theirs. Check out more entitled people and their childish demands over here

Font - AITA for telling my friend she has no right getting mad that "her" Netflix account got "canceled"? So my friend is a heavy Netflix user. She was in the middle of a show when her account got canceled. However, she uses her friend's Netflix account, and I believe this friend was OK with them using it. However, today I was told that when she tried to login she received an "incorrect password" notification, and when a Netflix account gets canceled the error says something along the lines of "

Font - She says she is upset at both 1) being lied to, as the Netflix owning friend lied about canceling the account when really she changed the password and 2) being mid-show when the password was changed. I can kinda understand the being lied to part, but not the mid-show part. She and I agree that it'd be more mature for the Netflix-owning friend to just tell her and her family that they don't want them on the account anymore, but I understand why they lied to be honest. However, I feel like

Smile - She then kinda went on about how she doesn't wanna hear about what's "morally right" and just wants to vent to process emotions. I get venting and wanting to express emotions, but in all honesty I personally think this isn't something that this valid to vent about. Idk, am I just an insensitive asshole???

Smile - Edit: thanks to all who've responded. I felt bad when she said she just wanted to vent, but even then I was like, c'mon man this is not the right thing to be upset at 1.4k 124 ↑, Share

Font - NotMe739 · 3h 1 Award My husband was on a friend's Google family account for years. One day the friend messages my husband and says "sorry, I need to take you out of my Google family account, my daughter got a tablet and needs your spot." My husband's response, "no problem and thank you for letting me be on your account for so long because I really appreciated it". Because that is how a reasonable adult acts when someone does them a favor. That evening my husband paid for his own google s

Font - alphorilex • 6h The thing is, it's rare that we want to vent purely to process our own emotions - the purpose of venting TO someone is to get your emotions validated. Sometimes that carries a risk that the person we vent to will disagree with our emotional response to an event. If you're a big grown up person you evaluate this in one of two ways: either you reconsider what you've said in the course of your venting and think about a more constructive method of processing what you're really

Font - Mysterious-System680 · 6h • Colo-rectal Surgeon [30] NTA. She enjoyed free access to Netflix. This has allowed her to see how much use she would get out of the service, and to make an informed decision about whether or not she wants to take out a subscription of her own. If her response to no longer being subsidized is to vent to "process emotions", it's hardly surprising that the friend wouldn't want to provoke a tantrum by telling her that she was cut off.

Smile - NTA Netflix just went up in price again. The friend probably dropped down to one screen and ya who wants to get told they can't watch their own Netflix BC their freeloading friend is on their account. So she changed her password, BC she changed her account. G Reply 1 15 ...

Organism - Katicflis1 • 55m • Partassipant [3] If your friend KNOWS she's being irrational and is just venting as you say at the end of your post, then NAH. It's ok to vent irrational feelings, and its ok for a friend to point out you're being irrational. If shes being a jerk to you or the original account owners over it though then she's the TA.

Handwriting - jet0114 · 4h NTA. Your friend should take the hint that it's time she pays for her own Netflix, especially if she uses it so often. Instead of changing the password on my account I just changed the user names of my cheap friends to leech 1 and leech 2. They got the hint G Reply 11 ..
