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

Idobai

I could have posted this in Dumb/Great Facebook status, but I felt it really deserved it's own thread.

"If you haven't received an invitation to mine and Paddy's wedding, I'm sorry but you won't. Unfortunately there are too many people in our lives that are special to us, and not everyone could make the cut. To those of you who still want to share in our special day, we have set up a fund where people can donate to our honeymoon fund *weblink* we really appreciate any donation! cheers."

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?

I heard later that the brothers were going mental at her (bride) for all the expense she was putting on everyone and how she was treating the mother. The three brothers were just about able to afford to go on their own (couldn't take wives/girlfriends) because it was so expensive. They ended up managing between the three of them to come up with enough to help the mum pay for a ticket over. It ended up being only about 10 people at the wedding (out of about 100 or so apparently invited) because basically nobody could afford to go.

Awful stuff alright but why didn't the mother opt to stay in a cheaper hotel on the island??

This can be done but we have good Samaritan laws in Ireland. Pretty much if I act within my training and have completed it with good reason I am safe. ie. You aren't breathing so I give you CPR, I'm trained to do it and seeing as you were breathing it was within your best interests no matter the outcome.

And you would hope that our judges would have sense enough to know that, but sadly that's not the case it seems.

I think I read somewhere that what these people do is claim that technically it was assault because the person put their hands on them with force and with out permission (if they were out cold or in too much distress to give them permission).

All utter rubbish, and truly selfish imo.

One of the most awful things I have ever heard of was from a colleague of mine who told me that her son's First Aid instructor at school wouldn't teach them CPR because there are some people so selfish and self entitled that they are willing to sue those who have performed it on them/their loved ones and saved their lives.

The cases generally revolve around the fact that in order to properly do CPR and for it work you have to exert enough force that you will inevitably end up breaking the person's ribs.

Now I grant you that this would be extremely painful to experience but surely it's a small price to pay for being alive?

I can think of few things crueler and more selfish than to sue some-one for doing the most selfless thing anyone can do, saving some-one else's life, possibly at risk to their own depending on the circumstance.

A couple of years ago I was out in the local with my sisters in law, one of them was getting married the following week and the rest of us were bridesmaids so we were having a little pre-wedding night out.

One of the sister's friends noticed us and came over to say hello and ask was she all set for the big day. The friend was getting married the following year so the sister asked how she was getting on with her planning, and this friend launched into a big spiel about how everyone was being so awkward about it and complaining.

It transpired anyway that she was getting married in the bloody Four Seasons....in the Seychelles!! Her biggest gripe was that her mother told her that she wouldn't be able to afford to go. She was giving out that it was over a year away and would she not be able to save enough for her daughter's wedding, how she'd be missing the biggest day of her life, she doesn't know if she'll ever be able to forgive her if she doesn't come to the wedding etc. We all sorta smiled and nodded until she left.

Afterwards my sister in law told us that the girl's father had died when she was about 5, leaving the mother to raise her and the three brothers on her own. The woman had basically worked her fingers to the bone getting them all through school and through college also, and had just recently lost her job. The hotel where the wedding was being held was about €900 per night for the cheapest room, plus it was another grand or so for the flights.

This one's fiancé was some mr megabucks who was an actual millionaire and this stingy cow wouldn't fork over the money to bring her own mother to the wedding. She actually said the words "I can't believe she's being so selfish, I mean it'd be worth going without some stuff for the year so she can save up." Yes, some stuff like electricity, food, heating, all those trivial little things.

That story makes me beyond angry!

The time a wheelchair user was left at the bus stop as the lazy cow already onboard Dublin bus refused to fold up her child's buggy.

Drivers have rules to follow and can't have both in the wheelchair space. If something goes wrong and an accident claim goes in it's his job on the line.

It's not uncommon, it's been discussed on Joe Duffy and in commuting forum but I never believed anyone would do it until I saw it myself

If I was the driver I would have asked her to leave the bus when she refused and if she refused to leave the bus I wouldn't move the bus until she got off

After years of giving me love and affection, my mother expected me to care for her in her old age! I put her in a home.

A fairly well known artist asked if they could get involved and help out. My wife and the CEO of the charity involved said yes.

Sitting in a cafe in the Philippines here, on a lane perpendicular to the beach about a 300m walk. It's raining, not heavily.

Just saw 3 Korean lads mid 20s standing in a luggage trailer/cart each holding an umbrella as an elderly Filipino man pushes them up the lane towards their hotel. Not sure if its self entitled but it certainly ain't right.

After I ran the Dublin Marathon two years ago, we went to O'Donoghues on Baggot St for a few pints. I hit the wall big time during the race and was absolutely exhausted. I stayed in the Mespil with my Dad.
It's a five minute walk from the pub to the hotel.

After leaving I turned around to see the lazy ****er jumping into a TAXI for the 1 minute spin back. :rolleyes:

Worked with a leech who used to scab money for his lunch or a fiver for petrol on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday but when Thursday came he'd be off to the bank to change his cheque and then spend the afternoon avoiding you. I must have been naive or a soft touch because he latched onto me and always asked me. He did this one Thursday and on Friday I walked straight up to him and asked for the fiver he owed me and he said he didn't have it, I just said it was OK and to forget it. Obviously he knew he could never ask me for money again after that so he went mad asking everyone else for the money to give to me, luckily nobody gave it to him. I never gave him as much as a penny after that day.

I used to work in a leisure centre. I learned a lot about patience and keeping a cool head there. We had a lot of members who felt they were entitled to anything they wanted. But one particular guy comes to mind now.

He once showed up 5 minutes before closing and demanded to be let in to have a shower as he had a wedding to attend an hour later. I said no and pointed out that the centre was closed (nobody was there) and that the facilities had been locked up. He then started having a go at me for being unfair and how he was entitled to use the centre when he wanted to. I said that he was, but not five minutes before closing (there was a rule that members could not enter 30 minutes before closing). He eventually walked off all the while complaining about me.

Another story:

The steam room was kept at a certain temperature at all times. This is largely for health and safety reasons. We had a large amount of older members who liked to have a swim and then sit in the steam room for a few minutes. One day one of the OAP's came up to the desk and told us the steam room was very hot. The temperature controls were in room near the steam room that said 'staff only'.

I had a look and discovered that the temperature had been turned up by about 5-8 degrees. Went back to the manager and it was decided that the room would be locked from now on to be on the safe side. A few days go by until I'm confronted at the desk by the same chap who asks why he can't turn up the temperature of the steam. I said it was against the rules to do so (there was a sign to this effect outside the steam room since the day I started there). He then tells me that it was never a problem before and starts giving out that its too cold for him and that he should be able to turn it up. He kept this up even after I explained that it had to be kept at a set temperature for H&S.

Some people....also, I used that steam room regularly. It was lovely and warm! No idea what the issue was.
