The only person self-entitled there is you. You chose not to bring a gift to their wedding because you were offended that they asked for gifts from a nice place.

No.

Have to agree , weddings really do seem to bring out the inner **** in people. Be it 'outdoing' the last one with your budget , 'Oh myself and X are spending 40k' that's great were all very impressed , or the bitching that goes on before/at the wedding... the 'prestige' at being asked as a bridesmade or best man/grooms man, the formality of it all...

I've only been to one wedding and going to another later this year and I'm already sick of them and very put off about ever having to do it myself I really can't stand them or what they bring out in people. I even considered not going to the one later this year , it's a long time friends wedding but it's down the country and there has been so much argueing/moaning , self entitlements and 'honour' of invite that I really couldn't be arsed putting up with a weekend of it so said to my OH we'll go the church and drive to the afters for a while and head home.

IF she ever manages to get me married , it really will be 10-15 of my closest family and friends, no hype and the rest of the money going into our hooneymoon and future..I won't even tell the rest until were married and home from holidays.

Am chance you can do a screengrab, OP, obviously blanking out names and stuff? Ireland may be too small a country to do that though...

Honestly, I couldn't make this **** up if it tried. Don't want to do a screen grab it might get back to source and I don't want to do anything that will lead to me or them being identified. The woman in question is a wagon though and 'paddy' isn't much better. There's something about weddings though seems to bring out the super crazy in people.

It's playing for your county!! If he didn't want to commit to his county then move on and don't try to sort out the fixtures to suit the social life.
One should treat the county jersey like the Turin shroud, whether it's Leitrim, Dublin, Kerry or whichever county.
He knows more than anyone what commitment is expected.

What if you're working though? Personally I wouldn't see playing sport at any level other than professional as more important than earning a living and at that point it would be the same thing. He might have had trouble fitting it in. I don't know the full situation but from what I've read it could have been as simple as wanting to know you can commit before you actually do.

A couple who are friends with us had been living abroad for a few years.

They were visiting Ireland and asked us if they could stay with us "as we had the most space".

Sure fair enough, we thought, we'd like to think they would do the same for us. So they arrive with their two kids and I mosey down to give them a hand with their bags. The heaviest one is left for me, which is grand and I pick it up.

Herself tells me to be careful with it as there is eggs in. Ok, fair enough. I was then showing her the bedroom and showed her how to turn off the rad and the different ways to open the window. Again she starts mouthing that she will turn off the rad as it is "too hot in here".

Fair enough, do what you want, I don't care, I'm just trying to be helpful I felt like saying.

Next day, they head out to do and see whatever they came to Ireland for. Grand. I get home from work, and no sign of them. Whatever. At around 8pm, I was thinking they were staying elsewhere tonight.

Back they arrive a few minutes later with loads of new toys for the kids. They proceed to open them out on the floor, after I had put away my sons toys for the evening and he gets all hyper again.

At 9pm, they start cooking dinner. It was fairly quick but still. I asked if she was putting the kids to bed soon as I needed to put him to bed and I would be using the bathroom for a while.

Yep, we will go in now. It took them an age of screaming and shouting in the bathroom and were in bed around 11pm! Fair enough, they might have a different schedule, but at least tell us.

Very disruptive stay without any consideration for us, and they asked again a good few months later. We declined their company on this occasion.

Milly33 · 09-06-2014 02:38PM

Jes I cant believe the first thread wow I would so not be friends with them anymore.. worst thing that always sticks out in my mind was at lunch walking into town and I see this well known local lets say wino man, demented drunk but rolling around in the middle of the white line in busy traffic.. So I was like feck he cant stay there, so I was trying to get him up and bring him up on the footpath (harmless fella now and a shame to see him drunk all the time) but trying to pull him up myself and another work chap comes along to help me. Next comes one of the bosses or wanna be bosses, he sees us pull the man up on the curb with a struggle and he just steps over him and us and says his not worth it.. I was like your such a ass.. that was it for me and him didn't think much of him before but after that I was like you dick

A lad I work with was telling me a story of friends of his that are due to be married this August.

The bride had asked her best mate to be her chief bridesmaid when she got engaged, and now that the wedding is fast approaching, the proposed chief bridesmaid is no longer taking part, due to the fact that she is currently pregnant.

The bride asked her not to be a bridesmaid in her current condition, as she would "ruin the photos with her bump"!

Can go one better, friend A got married 6 months before friend B. This alone caused B consternation as A got married first, but for B's wedding A was a bridesmaid and B went as far as demand A and her new husband not have sex JUST IN CASE she got pregnant before the wedding.....

B drunkenly let it slip that she didn't want A getting pregnant before her full stop and not just because it would ruin the pictures and is currently like 4 months pregnant.

A has admitted not wanting kids ever......

Years ago a Roma gypsy man approached me and held up a card with "I need €10.00 for food" written on it. He was holding a baby who looked she was under a year old. I felt really sorry for the baby so took about €4.00 in loose change out of my pocket, which was the only money I had on me, and handed it to the man. He looked it and said "that's not enough; I need €10.00". I shook my head in disbelief and walked away. What I really should have done was grabbed the money back off of him.

This was before these people were that common in Ireland. I haven't felt sorry for any of them since.

I **** ye not. To be honest I'm surprised she hasn't invited everyone she knows, and charged for admission. To those of ye interested, I did make the cut and wouldn't even consider them close friends. So AH, what's the most self entitled thing you've ever heard/seen?

Write back.

"If you would like to receive a donation to your "honeymoon fund" from me, I'm sorry but you won't. Unfortunately, there are too many insurance, tax, ESB, and grocery bills that are special to me, not to mention the new 50" plasma I saw in Harvey Norman last week. Not everything can make the cut.

Ugh. I was waiting for an appointment in the waiting room of a private hospital this morning. An ould wan was bitching and moaning non-stop that her kidney ultrasound appointment had been held up by half an hour. Basically "this is not good enough!" over and over.

Yeah, when you get a hospital appointment time, everyone knows it's an estimate at best. The person you've the appointment with might be called away for an emergency! It's annoying but not much can be done!

Pinch Flat · 09-06-2014 03:27PM

I have school friend who I meet occasionally when out socially. He's notorious for fcuking up plans and is atrocious at time keeping. An example would be we are meeting in Bar X at Time Y, but he'll insist on meeting somewhere else at a different time. The reason is usually that you're being tagged on to his own social group - you'll arrive into the middle of something else that you're perhaps 50% involved in (so invited for beers, but not the meal after). Has created some awkward situations in the past.

What happened last Christmas really called into question why I put up this cr@p and I haven't contacted him in 6 months.

So, we're down in our home town at Christmas and I suggest it's a good idea that perhaps we should meet up with our other halves for a beer and a bite to eat - it had been ages since we did something like that. I book a restaurant that was doing a €30 three course meal - not too much in my book, and I sent him on the link advertising the prices an asked him if he was ok with it. I booked the table for 8pm. We arrange to meet in a bar underneath this place a half hour before for a few pre-dinner drinks. Except he rings me at 8pm to say he is just leaving his house - having kids as well, we understand and think nothing of it and giving his previous approach to time keeping, nothing unusual. I went up stairs to let the restaurant know we'll be a little late, and they kindly held the table.

When him and his wife arrive, the drama starts and you can see just how self entitled people become. His wife insists on getting bar food in the bar - it's obviously cheaper, but we had the restaurant booked and I thought a nice quiet place would be better to catch up than a noisy bar. She asks me to check if they can order the bar food in the restaurant - me, like an eejit, heads upstairs to be told no it's a restaurant! By this time, the bar food service has also stopped. Cue glum faces on the couple are meeting. It is suggested we should ask them to serve us bar food as, I mean, we are really important and hungry and what with all this recession stuff they should be glad for the business. I explain that, unlike landed gentry, they don't have staff waiting around on a whim to cater for everyone's needs and at this point the chef is somewhere else enjoying a well deserved pint.

We entertain the drama for another 15 minutes or so, before I snap, state I'm starving (it's about 8.45pm at this stage) and we proceed up stairs to be seated. We suggest they don't have to join us if they don't want to. They reluctantly agree. They make a complete drama about the menu - where does this come from? is it fresh? are these this or that? where does the beef come from? Insist on ordering no deserts (despite them being included) and think they can get a discount on the set menu price. The whole situation was a mess and I was sorry for inviting them along - with kids we don't get out much, so it's nice to look forward to a meal out. Except the next time, our plans will include us only as a couple.

You just have to accept that some people are born d!cks, won't think twice about putting themselves ahead of everyone around them and have no place in your life.

Worked as a medical secretary for years.

Women of a certain vintage are the worst!

The best: 5 mins past three: how much longer will I be waiting?
Me: your appointment is for 3pm
Her: but I've been here since quarter past two?
Me: I'm sorry But the consultant doesn't start clinic until 3
Her: don't you know IM A PRIIIIVATE PATIENT?!?!
Me: this is a private hospital, all the patients have private insurance cover.

Worst thing was these bitches had no understanding that some people may be getting the type of bad news that may delay their appointment.
They were also perfectly happy to burn the medical secretaries for delays (nearly always due to consultant being overtime)
And as soon as the consultant would call them in they were all beams and smiles and "oh hello doctors".

Except more often than not there's no emergency, it's a case of block booking 20 people at the same time and leaving you to wait until 12pm for your 9:30am appointment

As the thread title says "the most self entitled thing you've ever seen"
The individual I'm talking about didn't have a job or family to support at the time. The reason he fell out with management in the first place is because he was on the pisss in Cafe en Seinne the night before a Dublin match and was caught. This has nothing to do with not having time because of other important commitments, take my word on that. If you want a debate on the workings of G.A.A. structures and the effort required then I suggest you go to the G.A.A. forum. I'm talking about an individual here with his head up his own arsse.

You'd swear all 120 guests took a crap somewhere there was so much of it. My husband drove for a half hour to get him jeans, with another kind boards poster, to buy him a t ahirt , underwear and jeans.

While he was gone we let him shower and clean himself up in the bridal suite.

My husband got back, and the guy moaned that the jeans were too long!!! 'I'm a 32'' leg, Jesus do look like I'm a 34''??'

I almost threw him off the balcony.

Unless he just made the team, an inter-county player is going to know the score regarding league and championship. If he didn't know if he'd be available, he shouldn't have put himself up for consideration.

I don't believe that one man could produce that much fecal matter.

Nothing wrong with a bit of embellishment but that is ludicrous. It sounds like he took about 2 months worth of shites at the wedding. And of course he took his trousers off to release these monstrosities.

He didn't take his pants off.

As far as I know, said fecal matter was Shawshanked from his pants.
