10 Infuriatingly Entitled 'Choosing Beggars' Who Demanded Everything For Nothing

It must be nice not to have to work for anything. How else could these entitled individuals have learned their nightmarish behavior? 

Every day it feels like there is a greater and greater number of people who think that they can shirk the rules of society and get everything they want for nothing. 

Thankfully we have online communities like Reddit's r/ChoosingBeggars and the numerous other social accounts that have been inspired to put these entitled people on blast. It's one of the few actions of recourse that we have against such behavior. In these posts, we can laugh at the absurdity and cry at the reality that is these people's existence. 

Read on and feast on this extravaganza of entitled absurdity. For more, check here after reading.  

The Best Tweets About Dating and Relationships This Month (August 2022)

Regardless of whether or not you're single or whether or not you've been in a relationship for too many years, the ways in which we relate (or don't relate) to our dates and significant others are certainly fodder for great comedy. 

 

We can all identify with trying to decipher someone else's sense of humor or trying to understand their interests (Dune just doesn't do it for me, sorry!). We can all identify with having a very different sleep cycle from our bedfellows (just be sure to give me a kiss goodbye when you leave and let me sleep for five more hours!). And of course, we can all identify with cultural or generational differences (try dating someone in their 30s while being your 20s and then try dating someone in their 20s when you inevitably reach 30).

 

No matter what your dating and relationship qualms are, we hope these tweets will provide some laughs and comfort.

'My BFFs don't approve of him': woman's friends don't like her new boyfriend because of his job

There are several important life lessons to keep in mind: always tip your servers well, look both ways before crossing the street, and remember that not everyone is going to love your significant other. The lattermost rule is easy to forget but crucial to remember.

 

This Redditor learned this universal truth the hard way. Her thread on Reddit's r/datingoverthirty subreddit depicts how she began dating a great guy who is considerably different from her toxic ex-boyfriend. Her ex was attractive and successful, but turned out to be "controlling and cocky." Somehow, the Redditor's friends Alyssa and Kelly seem to prefer the a$$hole to the new guy, perhaps because the new guy works as an electrician. As they all have more encounters together, the Redditor's boyfriend is starting to notice that her friends are not his biggest fan.

 

As the comments on Reddit will indicate, it's quite clear that if there's anyone the Redditor needs to break up with, it's Alyssa and Kelly. They sound like the most toxic friends since those featured on Lena Dunham's Girls.

 

If your own so-called friends don't like to see you happy, then it's time to cut them off just like it's time to end your 7-day free trial to Sling TV (which you only got because you don't have cable, but I digress…) Provided that no one is getting hurt, it's important to be confident and happy in your own relationship regardless of what shallow snobs like Alyssa and Kelly think.

 

We've seen other instances of friends behaving badly. This bride kicked her oldest friend out of her wedding party because her friend didn't enjoy partying the way she did. Yikes!

'My review comes up a lot in their interview process': Worker's Glassdoor review creates trouble for previous employer

This employee has learned that a Glassdoor review they wrote when they quit their job has given their past-employer grief with hiring. The employee writes that they left their position after experiencing unprofessional treatment from their manager, which they felt necessitated the review being written.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit this week by user u/DenniseDenephew, who shared their experiences with the popular sub. They posted their topic with the title "Left my old place due to bad management - My Glassdoor review comes up a lot in their interview process."

Platforms like Glassdoor offer employees one of the few avenues that they have to respond to their experience working for an employer and offer feedback. This, in turn, provides applicants unprecedented insight into what treatment they might receive working for that employer. After all, all too often, the wolf wears sheep's clothing. However, these reviews need to be taken with a grain of salt; there will always be one or two people in any group who are outliers with unique experiences. But, when the bad reviews start to rack up and are all singing a similar tune, it can be a good indicator of what your experience might be like. It's not cut and dry but can be a red flag. 

So, it's no surprise that u/DenniseDenephew sharing their experience might have caused a few waves at their old place of work, and if what they said rang true with job seekers, it might have cost them a few applicants.

In a world where references from previous workplaces can make or break your successful application, employers unquestionably hold a lot of power. Platforms like Glassdoor provide something to even the scales.

What do you think? Have you ever used one of these platforms?

'Do I just find someone to bring for the show of it or stay strong?': Single lady debates what to do about her plus one invite

Who in this day and age hasn't been single and dreading an upcoming wedding they have to attend? Not only is the universe set up for single people to be repeatedly shamed (how many times must one check that box on a form?), but single people also have to deal with the politics of the "plus one" invite.

 

These Redditors have weighed in on the conversation in a thread posted to Reddit's r/datingoverthirty subreddit by u/XrayKiloLima, who expressed her frustration at receiving yet another one of these invitations. She clarified that working in a male-dominated environment for much of her life hasn't helped her in relationships, and every time she attends an event, she is asked if she brought someone else along with her. Those recurring questions are certainly tough, but some Redditors feel that not receiving a "plus one" invite at all could be even more insulting. That being said, other folks expressed that the original poster should in no way feel pressured to bring someone along just for the show of it. If she genuinely has someone in mind that she'd like to be there, great! But if not, it will only make the situation more awkward, not to mention the people getting married will have to pay for a total stranger's food and drinks. 

 

We feel that the Redditor can be more unapologetic in her single status. There are advantages to being single at a wedding too! Not only could you meet someone, but also if you make it seem like your non-existent plus one was supposed to attend, you can get two free dinners! 

 

We've seen other instances of wedding drama in recent weeks. For example, this bride angered her father when she wanted her stepdad to walk her down the aisle.

Manager Demands Their Inferior Process is Followed, Predictable Outcome Ensues

There is something about being a manager that makes you think you know better than the actual people doing the work. Maybe it's in the way that even a tiny semblance of power links neurons in their brain that causes them to overestimate their knowledge and abilities. This dreadful disorder of "manager-ism" afflicts many a manager you might have encountered.

This is how it was for Reddit user u/AdElectrical5354 in a story they shared with Reddit's popular r/maliciouscompliance subreddit. Their manager insisted that they follow the written process to the letter, even though the frontline grunts doing that work knew better and had adapted their own optimizations. This, predictably, led to a decrease in productivity and missed delivery schedules. 

The original poster writes that this manager wasn't all that bad, just inexperienced, and learned from their mistakes, even reaching the point where the two would become close over time.

Managers: never assume that you know more than your producers! Especially when stepping into a new role or new organization. 

"At least he appeared to have learned his lesson!" responded user NoHospitalInNilbog in the comments. 

"Showing a capacity to learn and improve from the experience is a sign they may actually be one of the good ones." voiced user yParticle in reply. 

"Lol, when what you learned implodes because [of] real life. [A] classic example," commented Smoke_Water, sharing their own experience. "I remember training people for fueling aircraft. The training videos were all one way, but the actual work was completely different. Every time I would train the new guy, I would say, everything you just learned. Forget about it. Then we would show him the right way."
