Thread: Entitlement?

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    On Halloween a girl who looked to be about 10 or 11 years old said to me when I handed her a Hershey Bar, "Um, I don't like chocolate". Now that's entitlement. I can only imagine what my parents would've done if I had dared say that to anyone who was passing out free candy. A couple of years ago another kid said "How 'bout a bigger candy bar?". I only pass out full size bars, not the sample size. Someone said to me once (and I'll always remember it) "You are a child of God and so entitled to the best. However, the world owes you nothing".
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Amen to that, Mary.

    I had a similar situation on Halloween. Didn't like my choice of a FULL SIZE candy bar? Nerve to complain? Snatched it right back OUT of his candy bag. There's MY trick to YOU!

    Next time a trick-or-treater complains about what you are offering, hand them a gift-wrapped box. Inside type a note with this quotation:

    Do not act as if the world owes you a living. It does not. It was here first.

    I'm tempted to put that notice on peoples cars who park in more than one space . Downtown, parking is at a premium and it irks me when I see people be rude about it, even when I'm walking. I'm the type of person who will feed an expired meeter if I see one and I have some change with me, though.
