From Study Sessions to Airplanes: Tales of Unfathomable Entitlement and Lack of Empathy Surface A collection of astonishing anecdotes, shared by a BuzzFeed writer and sourced from Reddit, reveals instances of extreme entitlement and a shocking lack of empathy that leave observers bewildered and disheartened. The stories range from social faux pas in college study groups to life-threatening emergencies on airplanes and everyday interactions in public spaces, all highlighting individuals who seem oblivious to the impact of their actions on others. In a world often yearning for greater kindness and empathy, instances of profound self-centeredness and entitlement can be particularly jarring. A recent exploration of a Reddit thread, shared by a writer for BuzzFeed, has brought to light a collection of bewildering anecdotes showcasing individuals who appear to lack basic social awareness, making life unnecessarily difficult for those around them. The sheer audacity and entitlement displayed in these stories have left many, including the author, flabbergasted by the existence of such behavior. These narratives, described as wild, offer a glimpse into the darker side of human interaction, where consideration for others seems to be an alien concept. One particularly striking account comes from a former college student who participated in study groups lasting several hours. It was a common practice for group members to take turns fetching food, with others contributing extra to cover the costs. This unspoken agreement, summarized by the phrase If you fly, I'll buy, had been in place for weeks. However, when a particular group member announced her trip to Dunkin' Donuts, and the author jokingly offered to pay if she was going, the response was one of utter disdain. The girl scoffed and declared that she did not bring food to others, implying that such a task was beneath her and reserved for servants. This blatant disregard for established group dynamics and the unspoken reciprocity left the author completely floored. Another chilling experience was recounted by a flight attendant who, during a heart attack emergency on board, faced appalling behavior from a passenger. As the crew administered CPR and used an AED, a passenger began to yell, demanding that the plane doors be opened and the victim removed so he wouldn't miss his connecting flight. Alarmingly, several other passengers supported this outrageous request, highlighting a disturbing lack of compassion in a life-or-death situation. Adding to the unsettling collection, a former Resident Advisor (RA) shared an incident where a student and his mother aggressively contacted the dorm's front office, complaining about the lack of room cleaning after only two weeks. This expectation of immediate service, without understanding the operational realities of a dorm, speaks to a sense of entitlement concerning basic amenities. In a retail setting, a young, affluent boy at Guitar Center, while purchasing a significant amount of recording equipment, demonstrated extreme arrogance. He snapped his fingers and pointed at an item on a lower shelf, demanding an employee fetch it for him, revealing an expectation of subservience from store staff. The laundromat incident is particularly disturbing. When a man passed out in the doorway, and the owner attempted to assist him, another customer repeatedly shoved the door open against the unconscious man's body, even after being asked to stop. This individual then proceeded to step over the body to do his laundry, showcasing a profound lack of empathy and basic human decency. A distressing scene at a state fair involved a young boy's beloved, worn stuffed animal. When he briefly placed it on a bench, another child took it. The boy's mother attempted to retrieve it, but the other mother dismissively stated that if her son found it, he should keep it, and that the original owner should have been more careful. The situation escalated when the boy's stuffed animal was carelessly handled by the other child. Witnessing the original owner's heartbreaking sobs, the narrator intervened, returning the toy. The entitled mother then threatened legal action, accusing the narrator of child abuse. The narrator managed to create a diversion, allowing the other family to escape, and then quietly exited the confrontation. A former friend exhibited egregious behavior during lunch by rudely rejecting a waiter, telling him to get someone else as she was not willing to deal with him for the next hour. This petty and disrespectful act led to the end of their friendship. Finally, a common, yet still infuriating, example of inconsiderate behavior on a plane involved a passenger playing music loudly without headphones, disregarding the comfort of everyone else on board
