The most self entitled thing you've ever seen....

grundie

My 2 1/2 yo daughter is princess obsessed, I don't mind as she'll grow out of it one day. Every day, she goes to a summer fun camp thing that has play rooms, dancing and arts/crafts. It's run by her creche, but for the summer children up to 6 can attend.

I was asked by another child's mother if I could get my daughter to stop saying she is a princess so much as it was bothering her 5 year old daughter who doesn't like it when there are other princesses around. After a moment of confusion I just said "No, I can't do that". The mother did try to keep the discussion going, but I said sorry and left.

Is this what happens when you have kids?

I wonder if the mothers of the ten million children who die from hunger each year ever worried about princess overload :rolleyes:

I dunno would you consider this self-entitled or just plain d!ckheadish behaviour but was at a hurling qualifier a few years ago in Limerick, Galway had just beaten Cork. Anyway during the match I had noticed a woman in front of me playing on her iPhone, clearly enthralled by the match. The match ended and most people scattered onto the pitch, just about to leave when I noticed the phone on the ground. My dad suggested handing it to the stewards, I said we'd wait on and see did this woman return. Sure enough around 25 mins later she returns, she looks under her seat and I say 'does this belong to you'? She kind of just looks at me and mutters 'oh yeah', grabs the phone and walks off with her friend again. Before ye think it was someone pulling a fast one it was definitely the same woman. Just the lack of a 'thank you' that really galls me, not sure how many 15 year olds would have waited around in that situation :mad:

I might have been raised differently but some people in this country do not appreciate anything!

I mentioned it to the staff of the creche and they told me that the girl in question is just difficult in general. She keeps going in to the toddlers room and hoards the toys even though it isn't allowed and just generally acting like a spoiled diva. They are going to have words with her parents.

And it isnt even the kids fault. I pity her. She is being turned into a diva by indulgent parenting.

I actually didn't even notice that At the time I was calling her a mooch in my head and meant "she's one of them" instead of actually typing out the former.

I get that and just today handed someone money they'd dropped but got nice appreciation for the deed. Personally I would have probably thanked you for about 5 minutes and offered to buy you a pint or something, maybe a few cans of cider seeing as you were 15:P
But some people are so inherently shy in such situation I imagine they come across as rude but are actually extremely grateful. I have no idea if this was the case in this instance but I think it's something people should be aware of.

I used to work in a large clothing retail store mostly frequented by women with their very small children. Nearly every time I was on the fitting rooms, I'd get a woman with a buggy/couple of kids arguing with me over why she wasn't allowed to use the designated wheelchair fitting room. It normally went like this

Woman: Can I go in there? *points at room*
Me: I'm afraid not, that room is only for wheelchair people. Our fitting rooms are usually wide enough to fit the buggy though.
Woman: Yes, but there is way more space for me and the buggy in the wheelchair room. I feel cramped bringing the buggy into a normal fitting room.
Me: No, I'm very sorry but that room is only for wheelchair customers.
Woman: But I have a buggy! I demand to see the manager!

The odd time when someone did let a buggy in, the kids would climb out, run around and pull the emergency cord, setting off the assistance alarms from the wheelchair room, or we'd get an elderly lady in a chair forced to wait 10/15 minutes. The entitlement of some people is unreal!

Another favourite: Can I park in the wheelchair space?
Me: No, that's for wheelchair users only.
customer: but it's sunday, aren't there different rules on a sunday?
Me: *smacks head off wall*

A few years back I was driving my Skoda Fabia down a narrow country road when an Audi A6 came towards me.
We both pulled in as far as we could but the passanger mirrors on both cars got smashed.
We stopped and got out and agreed that nothing could have been done and it was 50 -50.
He then pipes up " you'll still be paying for mine though"
I asked him how he came to that conclusion as it was 50-50 and he replied "Cos mine is an Audi and yours is only a Skoda"

I Heart Internet

^^ Interesting theory.

So what happened after??

He was kinda right. 50/50 means that you pay half of eachother's damage, not look after your own

Aahhh! Good point.

Although in that situation I'd take 50-50 to mean that we each look after our own damage. It's not Lando's fault someone else drives a car that is expensive to repair.

It is though. If a person is 50% to blame, it doesn't matter if the other person's car is worth €1 or €500,000, you are responsible for 50% of the damage

Not wanting to derail the thread, so I'll leave it there

Disagree (as the two lads with the cars clearly did).

If you are both 50% responsible, then you are each equally responsible. Since you have no say (or benefit) in the type of car your crashee is driving, it is fair that you look after your own cars damage and he look after his.

It's 50:50 blame, but it's not your problem if some geezer has a gold-plated car.

According to his Garda friend who he rang, I pay for my mirror and he pays for his.
Thats the way it ended, him cursing his luck in having to shell out a couple of hundred for a mirror and me only a fraction of that.

It doesn't make a difference! The driver's side is still near the middle of the road, and the passenger's side near the edge.
