One common trait is a lack of respect for others' possessions. Like in the stories where they just take things without asking. Another is throwing tantrums when they don't get their way. For example, the kid in the store who threw a fit when not getting candies.
There's a story from a school. There was an entitled kid in class. When it was time to share art supplies, he refused to let others use the new markers he brought. He said they were his and only he could use them. When the teacher told him sharing was important, he argued that he was special and should be allowed to keep them all to himself.
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.
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 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.
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.
Well, entitlement often shows as a lack of gratitude. In stories, these women may receive help or kindness but instead of being thankful, they expect more. For instance, a woman might be given a ride by a neighbor regularly, but instead of being grateful, she starts demanding the neighbor to pick her up at specific times. Another theme is a sense of ownership over things or opportunities that aren't really theirs, like claiming a particular role in a community project without going through the proper selection process.
There was an entitled parent who thought their child should always win at sports events. At a little league baseball game, when the umpire made a fair call against their child, the parent stormed onto the field, shouting insults at the umpire and even trying to physically intimidate him. It was really embarrassing for the other kids and parents there.
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.
