One common situation is when parents try to get special treatment for their kids in school, like demanding better grades or more privileges than other students. Another is when they try to avoid taking responsibility for their children's misbehavior in public places, as I mentioned before with the store example.
Once, a parent entered a store with their child. The child knocked over a display by accident. Instead of apologizing, the parent told the store clerk that it was the store's fault for having the display in such an 'inconvenient' place for children. It was really a case of an entitled parent trying to shift the blame for their child's actions.
One story I heard was about a helicopter parent who followed their college - aged kid to campus on the first day. They actually tried to sit in on the orientation session for new students, much to the embarrassment of their child. The college staff had to gently ask the parent to leave as it was only for students.
Typically, in funny entitled stories, there is an unexpected or unreasonable demand. For instance, someone might feel entitled to a front - row seat at a concert without having a valid ticket. The reaction of those around them, be it shock, amusement or resistance, adds to the humor. And often, the entitled person doesn't seem to understand why their demand is wrong. In the restaurant example, the man couldn't comprehend why he had to pay like everyone else. This lack of self - awareness is a common factor.
Once there was a 'Karen' at a coffee shop. She demanded a refund because her latte had too much foam. But the barista explained it was the normal amount. She then started yelling that she was a regular customer and deserved special treatment. Another time, a 'Karen' in a supermarket was angry that the store didn't have her favorite brand of cereal. She asked to speak to the manager and when he came, she ranted about how they should always stock it just for her.
Sure. There was a story about a man who thought he was entitled to a free meal at a restaurant just because he was a regular customer. He argued with the waiter for ages, but in the end, he was politely told that everyone has to pay. It was funny to see his shocked face when he realized his sense of entitlement was misplaced.
Well, there was this one time at a restaurant. An entitled parent demanded that the chef make a special dish not on the menu for their picky child. When the waiter said it wasn't possible, the parent started making a huge scene, saying things like 'Don't you know who we are?' It was so absurd.
Sure. At a clothing store, a 'Karen' wanted a dress in a size that was out of stock. Instead of accepting it, she demanded that the store find one from another branch immediately. When the salesperson said it would take a day or two, she started yelling that she couldn't wait and it was their fault for not having enough inventory. Another 'Karen' was at a movie theater. She complained that the seats were too close together and tried to move to an empty VIP section without paying extra.
Sure. There was an entitled parent at a sports event. Their child wasn't very good at the sport, but they demanded that the coach give their kid more playing time. When the coach tried to explain that there were other kids who were more skilled and deserved the time, the parent started yelling that their child was 'special' and should be treated differently. It was really embarrassing for their child.
One funny foster parent story is when a foster parent tried to teach a young boy how to cook. The boy accidentally put salt instead of sugar in the cake batter. When they baked it and tasted it, their faces were hilarious. The foster parent just laughed it off and they had a great time remaking the cake together.
