The Little Match Girl is also an entitled Christmas story. It tells the story of a poor little girl who tries to sell matches on a cold Christmas Eve. As she lights the matches to keep warm, she has visions of wonderful things like a warm stove, a delicious roast goose, and her loving grandmother. It's a sad yet poignant story that makes us think about the less fortunate during the Christmas season.
One entitled kids story could be about a child who always demands the best toys and throws a tantrum if they don't get them immediately. For example, at a store, when the parent says no to an expensive video game, the kid starts crying and yelling, making a scene until the embarrassed parent gives in.
Yes, 'Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer' is a great one. Rudolph has a shiny red nose which makes him different from the other reindeer. At first, he is made fun of, but on a foggy Christmas Eve, his nose becomes useful for guiding Santa's sleigh. It's a story about acceptance and finding one's purpose.
There was a parent who, at a sports event, yelled at the referee because their child's team lost. They claimed the referee was biased against their child's team, even though the calls were fair. It shows how some parents feel overly entitled to victory for their kids regardless of the circumstances. Also, I heard of a parent who tried to get their child into a prestigious school by falsely claiming connections and special circumstances, believing their child was more deserving than others just because they were their child.
A Karen story that stands out is when a Karen in an apartment complex demanded that the management remove all the flowers from the common area because she was allergic. She didn't care that other residents liked the flowers and thought her needs should be the top priority just because she lived there.
One entitled mom story is about a mom at a park. She let her kids run wild on the playground equipment, not caring if they were bumping into other children. When another mom politely asked her to have her kids be more careful, she got really angry and said her kids could do whatever they wanted. It was so unfair to the other kids and parents trying to have a peaceful time at the park.
One entitled family story I heard was about a family who always expected special treatment at restaurants. They would demand extra freebies and make a fuss if they didn't get their way.
Self - centeredness is also a big trait. In many of these stories, like the woman in the movie theater who changes seats multiple times to get the best view for herself without considering the people she disrupts. They are mainly focused on themselves and what they can get, not caring about the impact on others.
I knew a person who thought they were entitled to park in disabled parking spots just because they were in a hurry. They didn't care about the real needs of disabled people. They got fined many times but still didn't change their behavior.
At a local diner, an entitled mom thought she could bring in outside food for her kids. When the waitress told her it was against the policy, she started yelling that it was a family - friendly place and should allow it. She made a huge scene until she finally left in a huff.
One of my rich entitled friends once threw a huge tantrum at a high - end restaurant just because they didn't have his favorite brand of champagne available. He demanded that they send someone out to buy it immediately, as if the world should revolve around his desires.
