'Looking for a free horse': 20+ Entitled trending 'Choosing Beggars' who had unreasonable expectations from others


There are some people in this world who consider themselves to be above it, despite that sentiment being entirely unearned. Their unwavering unabated demands and unreasonable expectations put undue weight upon the rest of society's shoulders. They insist on this course of raging against the world when someone dares to stand in the way of their obstinate importunity. 

These persons are our "Choosing Beggars"; they want everything for nothing and won't stand for any less for any more. 

Read on for this week's collection, harvested from Reddit's r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit and elsewhere.

'As soon as I saw them I lost my temper': Woman screams at fiancé for taking his kids with him on their vacation


This woman is giving major White Lotus energy. She blew up at her fiancé for "ruining their vacation" after a family emergency. She posted this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and left her judgment up to the ruthless members of the AITA community. They were not kind.

 

The facts are these: the Redditor admittedly yelled at her fiancé for essentially being a good dad and agreeing to take care of his kids after his ex-wife injured herself badly. Who knows? She might have even yelled at him in front of the kids. She does seem to possess that level of entitlement, so anything is fair game. It's wild that she thinks her vacation is more important than his parenting. As one person said in the comments, this will clearly be their first of many fights like this. Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more tales of entitlement, try this post about a student who reported their professor for no good reason.

'You'll be wearing many hats': 20+ Job Interview Red Flags You Might Be Missing


A job interview is a two-way street; as much as the company is seeing if they want to work with you, you're also deciding if you want to work for them. 

Unfortunately, there's a lot of smoke and mirrors involved with the traditional interview process. It's a performative experience in which both parties are attempting to seem desirable, neutral, and natural — revealing just enough without giving too much away.

Most of us, who have been working for an appropriate length of time, have come across these red flags, whether we were aware of it or not at the time. Sometimes you miss red flags that should have been readily apparent but were carefully concealed by the interviewer, and other times you just weren't sure what you should be looking for.

Job seekers gathered in this r/AskReddit thread to share subtle red flags they should have caught during the interview that retrospectively screamed, "working here would suck." 

Take a look to make sure you're prepared for your next interview. For more, check out these people who walked out of bad job interviews.

'I distinctly heard the yelling': Stubborn department heads conspire against new hire having an office, get chewed out


It happens all too often in your life that you run into stupid obstacles created by obstinate individuals who have managed to lodge themselves in a position of power and — for one reason or another — are determined to make you suffer. Maybe they don't like you; perhaps they don't like what you do; maybe they just don't like the color of your tie; maybe they're just drooling at a chance to exercise what little control they have over their stupid lives.

Whatever the reason, these "leaders" make it their mission to act as a roadblock in your life, a badly written antagonist who has ridiculous motivation for standing in your path.

This is exactly the type of animosity that Reddit user u/intrepidshe faced at their first job when they were hired onto a new department. The heads took issue with their existence just because they disagreed with certain aspects involved in the formation of the team. Inexplicably, they decided to take this out on this new hire by refusing to assign them an office, and it was an antagonistic action that they would learn to regret.

'AITA For asking my roommate to cover up?': Terrible roommate and boyfriend tell woman how to dress in her own home, call her a "tramp"


The beauty of living in your own space is that you can do whatever the hell you want. Well, within legal, ethical, and various social confines, that is. But, there is another obstacle that often presents itself to one's enjoyment in one's own living space: Roommates. The flatting/rooming life is a grab-bag of all kinds of terrible experiences. One is guaranteed to be exposed to all kinds of people from all walks of life and experience, and while that's a beautiful thing, you sure do run into a lot of immature, entitled a-holes.

A terrible roommate will sully the peace of a solitary, unencumbered existence and bring it crashing down to a reality of impudence. 

Some roommates, while seemingly well-adjusted themselves, are prone to being spineless, and bring over a-hole guests who wreak havoc upon your rooming relationship by leveraging their power over your roommate themself — using this stupid power to impose restrictions on you. 

This is exactly the issue that Redditor u/No_Rip537's roommate is facing, as the OP and her boyfriend attempt to control how she is able to dress in her own home. 

Is u/No_Rip537 wrong here? The verdict thus far has been incredibly decisive.
