I do NOT have the patience for this.
Unsurprisingly, we received an array of frustrating and infuriating responses.
Here’s what people shared:

“I worked as a labor and delivery nurse for 20 years and witnessed any number of entitled patients.
Needless to say, they received the same excellent care as any other family.
It’s not big enough to entertain in!'

She had her chance.”

“I was walking my dog in a richer area of my neighborhood.
“I’m an adult who cannot work (doctor’s orders).
I have a sibling who has shared custody of a toddler.
This sibling demanded that I watch their toddler for free while they worked 12-hour shifts.
I always cared for the kiddo to the best of my ability, but it was a tremendous struggle.
My sibling repeatedly told me that I was faking my, at the time, undiagnosed medical condition.

“I worked in a public high school during a professional transition for about 18 months.
I have stories…sweet lord, so many.
Long story short, she paid.
Teachers/school staff are not paid nearly enough to deal with the general public.
I am SERIOUS.”
“I once bought a designer purse and a matching keychain as a birthday gift for my 8-year-old niece.
This is a sign of love between families and nannies within the nanny industry.
We made plans to meet for coffee, not knowing what each other looked like.
Day of the interview, I chose a business-casual style with minimal makeup.
The second I saw the woman I knew must be her walk in, I wanted to run.”
“She appeared cold, smug, overly conceited, and full of herself.
Before she sat down, I started losing interest in the position while my coffee was still hot.
She rambled on and I tuned her out.
“I faked interest during the remainder of the interview.
Ultimately, she asked me if she could give me some advice.
She pulled out a red pen and made several corrections.
‘If you do all these things, you will look better than you do now and may get hired.
After all, I know, because I’ve only gone through the best agencies.’
The interview was over.
With my head held high, I left, wondering why she was leaving her current position.”
They left unhappy.”

She was a D-list celeb at best, and the shop was a damn Maserati dealership.
Use my dad’s plane.
I don’t care.
I want my car for school tomorrow!'
I called the dealership and asked if they could deliver the car.
She nearly flipped out because I solved the problem from Cali.
What kind of jerk am I?”
“When I was 12 (grade 6), my class went to the musicalA Christmas Carol.
Many other schools were there, so there was the longest line to use the restroom during intermission.
“I submitted a Facebook Marketplace ad for a free wall mirror.
“I work at a property management company in the same plaza as a UPS Store.
Some UPS Stores offer notary services, but this one did not have a notary available one day.
A distraught mid-60s-year-old man came to my office to demand notary service.
Apparently, the 15-minute drive would be too much, and he demanded that I notarize his document.
His time that day was much more important than mine.
“We were best friends for over a year.
Both of us had difficult living situations and often helped each other through trying times.
The hardest time of year for me is in February.
She then accused me of abandoning her when I needed to take extra space for my own health.
It’s ours to give freely, not for others to expect or demand.”
At most, one leg of the table was on her property I was mostly outside the salon.”
