Its All About Me / Not Always Right

"I’m not other customers; I’m me! I don’t care what happens to your other customers! If they’re allergic to meat it’s just proof that God wants to get rid of them so they won’t inconvenience people like me!"

— The customer from "Praise Cheeses"

A disturbing amount of people on Not Always Right and its sister sites let their egos overrule common sense – or even basic human decency!

---

Not Always Right

• A spectacularly insensitive example here. People having seizures actually do deserve precedence over someone who just needs a prescription.
• And over people who just want to get off a plane.
• And these two golf course examples. Yes, sir, your golf game is more important than someone else's life.
• This man is not as worried about calling 911 for his injured father-in-law as he is about suing the man who hit his father-in-law.
• A less grave, but no less applicable, edition here.
• What's more urgent business: cat food or fire? Admittedly, the customer apparently thought he was making up the fire to get out of helping her.
• This one. Apparently somebody dying right in front of them isn't an adequate justification for failing to serve someone else their wine right away.
• Could you give that woman CPR somewhere else? I need my ink.
• This one, with some hypocritical humor too. Hard not to feel bad for the poor kids.
• Why do you keep stopping the bus?
• That sucks that you fainted... but my coffee matters more!
• This store was just robbed at gunpoint... but all that matters to this customer is getting a latte!
• A customer dents an employee's car with his car door while picking up drive-thru, and the employee drops his meal in shock. Said customer's reaction? "You owe me 5 pounds for that meal!"
• "My horse is more important than any accident!" Note the horse wasn't even injured, only spooked by fireworks.
• This woman believes that her Porsche gives her the right to take two parking spaces at once and be exempt from any penalties that normally incur.
• Taken to the extreme in this story — the customer decides that because she can't find a parking space anywhere, it's perfectly acceptable to smash her SUV into a storefront and leave it there. When it's towed away later, she seems to think that it gives her the right to smash the store's interior because she thought they took it. To top it all off, when she's arrested for the property damage and shoplifting, that somehow means that customer service was terrible and she's entitled to a gift card! The store probably lost enough fixing everything already — if anything, she should be paying them.
• Yet another example of a customer putting caffeine dependency over the most basic of common decency.
• Your thumb's bleeding and another customer's getting sick? Forget that! My flowers are far more important than anyone else's well-being!
• This woman demands a bookstore employee help her take the books to her car, after refusing bags and being fully aware that the employee is the only one there, needing to attend to other customers as well.
• Here's another person who thinks they can take up two parking spaces whenever they feel like. Worse yet, they're two handicapped spaces, the man's "handicap" is a broken wrist, and when he's told that he's taking up two spaces, he moves his truck so that it takes up even more of the two spaces. He got a ticket in the end, though.
• This person calls 911 just because their phone was shut off. Never mind how they called in the first place^note If you're curious, it's federal law in the US. — they fail to understand the true purpose of 911.
• This man barges into a store after it closed because, as he puts it, it's an emergency. He rushes off after being let in, ignoring the employees who wanted to help him. What does he get? Lube, chips, and wine. To top it all off, he calls the manager impatient for rushing back to help him, like he just can't understand why they might be so.
• You might lose your job if you lie about what's in a package? If it means I get to save a quarter, that's totally all right!
• This woman literally says that she doesn't care about other customers. She follows it up by saying that if the other customers are allergic to meat, then that's proof that God wants them to die so that they won't inconvenience her. Thankfully, the elderly lady who is getting her meat cut delivers an epic smack-down to her.
• This mother goes to the emergency room because her daughter had irregular periods and she had "the zits". Clearly, treating them is way more important than people who, say, had been in a car accident.
• This asshole decides that she wants an audiobook another library-goer already reserved, with a sticker on it and everything, to the point of even snatching it out of her hand. What does she do? Rip the sticker off and try to check it out anyway. She manages to kick up a fuss and get the audiobook nearly taken away due to it being "broken", but the original reserver manages to set the whole thing straight and get the audiobook checked out under her name. Despite all this, the sticker-ripper has the gall to ask for it anyway!
• This bridesmaid who wanted to upstage her sister at her own wedding by wearing a more attractive dress than the other bridesmaids, even though they're supposed to dress the same.
• This elderly airline passenger, who wants their bag in reach, regardless of the convenience of others.
• This customer complains that the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which hadn't even been announced at the time of the story, aren't available for pre-order. To wit: "Why can’t the f*** company just release the new consoles when I want them?! Stupid a**-holes! They should be doing what I want; I’m the paying customer!"
• This tourist in Scotland, upon being denied access to a palace because a member of The British Royal Family is staying there that day for a homecoming procession, shouts that they should have known that specific tourist was coming there for that day only and rescheduled the procession for the next day.
• This tourist doesn't feel well, so she calls the local hospital in England to see if she can arrange an appointment that day. That's fine. The weird part is that she's calling from a cruise ship in the Caribbean, but she still wants to see her doctor today. When told she can't see the doctor today since she's hundreds of miles away out of the country, she demands to know why the doctor can't just fly out to meet her. Yeah, it's not that simple.
• Why are you taking a few seconds to pull that shard of glass out of your hand? You must help me every waking moment, personal safety be damned!
• You must set an attendance cap and turn people away if a theme park gets too full! Unless it's me; I paid to come here!
• There's a missing boy? No, don't look for him, keep servicing us!
• This parent wants a tourist attraction to bend the laws of physics so that their kids can watch a fireworks show. Apparently, letting said kids stay up a bit later than normal - half the fun of being on vacation for a kid - is out of the question.
• This person wants a hotel to cancel someone else's reservation so that they can get a room.
• This wonderful patient.
  Receptionist: I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be sure to tell [dentist] that the next time one of his life-long friends unexpectedly dies, that he should be more considerate of his patients.
  Patient: See that you do!
• This customer doesn't like an employee's new hair color, and so tells her to dye it back to its original color right now.
• A rather disturbing instance here: a person in a hospital overhears another patient who can't speak above a whisper due to her illness, promptly assumes she's gossiping about him (since his son is there due to swallowing a rock), and as such threatens her with physical violence every time she says anything. Fortunately for the patient, her mom turned out to be the Head Nurse on the hospital floor and had the jerk thrown out of the hospital as soon as she heard what happened.
• "Why don't you remember what coffee I want out of all the coffees of the numerous people you serve each day?". At least the customer gets it when the worker explains the situation to him, and when the worker shows him up the next day by noting what he got yesterday, he leaves behind a sizeable tip.
• This woman, upon being told that a cobbler who rented space in the store has retired, claims that a different one five minutes away from the store is too far. Also crosses over with They Just Dont Get It, refusing to accept that said cobbler did not actually work for the store.
• This woman tries to argue that workers should not have holidays like Thanksgiving off to spend with their families, because then "more important" families like the customer's won't be able to buy things, even saying that workers "can't have" families if they're going to work in a store.
• This woman expects a library to call her the night before a book she's rented is due rather than keep track of that herself. She also pointedly says that they can't email her, they have to call her.
• This man seems to think that a charity shop should give him items for free, both because they get the items donated to them for free, and he is planning to furnish some property he plans to rent out with them; clearly him making a few extra bucks on rent is far more important than any cause a charity could possibly have.
• This customer brings 20 items into a 12-item-limit express lane, and when admonished and told to use the regular checkout next time, bluntly refuses, saying "express is faster".
• This customer is annoyed that her cell phone provider didn't tell her that they were giving away free movie tickets for a week... despite the fact that it was advertised on billboards, newspapers, radio stations, her monthly bill, the Internet, and text messages. Unfortunately, the customer didn't get the message because she doesn't go outside much (so no billboards), doesn't read newspapers, doesn't listen to the radio, throws away every ad that comes with her monthly bill, doesn't use the Internet, and ignores all incoming text messages. Exasperated, the customer service associate asks how, exactly, were they supposed to tell her about it then. She replies they could have called her about it. Specifically called her, out of the thousands of customers the company has.
• This customer is asked to call a company in the morning to discuss something. He ends up calling at 3 PM, justifying it by saying that because he just woke up, it's still his morning, and as such counts for what the submitter asked.
• Crossing with Attention Whore: this girl calls in an ambulance to take her to the hospital so she can get more attention and sympathy than her friend (who was rushed to the ER with genuine anaphylactic shock). Note that this is illegal.
• This old lady complains about a crane being in view of her room's window at a hotel due to a condo being constructed between the hotel and the Space Needle (the story is in Seattle). It is not possibly blocking her view of the Needle given how high up her room is, and yet she insists that the hotel make the crane move anyway. She does not care that this would cost the construction company millions, either, as when told of all the costs moving the crane for a bit and then moving it back would incur, she simply states that "money is no object".
• This woman who is upset over a grocery store being closed down after having been purchased by a major chain because she won't have a place downtown to shop. After the employee she chews out over it starts crying, another one steps in and points out they had nothing to do with the store closing and everyone working there is getting laid off, while she is only being inconvenienced by having to shop elsewhere.
• This woman insists that her specially ordered shampoo be delivered that day despite the delivery truck being delayed by a traffic accident. The submitter looks into the situation and discovers the delivery truck was actually involved in the accident and the driver was killed. When called back, the customer repeatedly insists on her shampoo being delivered even after being given the above information.
• This woman goes to a sports bar and expects the staff to change the channel on the largest TV screen to Lifetime. When the submitter refuses, stating policy, the woman demands to speak to a manager, who allows her to watch her program on a smaller TV. The woman refuses, demanding that the company make several patrons watching a college basketball game watch on the smaller screen. The manager refuses to do so, having already compromised with his original offer. The woman initially backs off and watches her program on the smaller screen, however she leaves no tip and tells the submitter that she will not be returning and will write a bad Yelp review about the establishment. The submitter notes why this is not a good idea.
  Submitter: “Oh, no! People will find out we don’t play Lifetime at a sports bar! We're going to lose so much business…”
• This customer loses it because another man in the restaurant proposes to their girlfriend, and that somehow ruined the surprise proposal he was going to make to his own. He grows increasingly more belligerent, claiming that he had 'reserved' a proposal and that meant the staff should know not to let anybody else make one until he's eventually dragged out by police. At the end of the story, he loses his girlfriend too.
• This pleasant individual at a movie theater raises a stink over not being able to have seats reserved for handicapped people (after claiming these seats online without paying any attention to whether they were handicapped seats or not) and screams that handicapped people shouldn't have their own seats solely because it's an inconvenience to her. (Even though claiming the handicapped seats was her own fault in the first place.)
• This woman tries to force a random person at the airport ^note  the airport in question is very likely Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to give her the password to his smartphone's hotspot solely because she sees that he has it. She blames him for hogging the airport's wifi (which he wasn't using in the first place) and calls a manager to get him fired. The man isn't even an employee, and upon learning this information, the woman tries to force the manager to tell the man to give up the password. It doesn't go over well for the woman. To make matters worse, this whole confrontation could've been avoided if she realized the airport has free wifi!
• This window seat passenger doesn't care that her constant drinking and need to pee every few minutes is bothering the middle and aisle passengers who are trying to sleep and don't like that her constant moving is dirtying their clothes; she wants the window seat and will not change seats with the aisle passenger despite it being more convenient for her and everyone else.
• Many of these customers feel that they're inconvenienced because a kid got trapped and drowned on a water slide. The death of a child should be more important than their vacation.
• This guy expects to come into a medical office whenever he wants and get to see a doctor right away. The receptionist was having none of that.
• This girl needs to get her oboe repaired, but the technician is on vacation and is unavailable for another week and a half. Her mother proceeds to go ballistic and says they need the oboe repaired in time for the next lesson (the following Wednesday). She said they'll be back to return the oboe and won't be renting from the store in the future. The submitter was about to tell the woman that they could loan her daughter an oboe while she waited for the repairs.
• Taken to the absolute extreme with this woman who is extremely irate about her missing television programs and doesn't care about the 'piddling' excuse that the librarian she's called is giving her. The 'piddling' excuse? It's the day after 9/11. More specifically, the television antenna that provided her program was mounted on the World Trade Center. Who cares that thousands of people have died, when are they going to rebuild the Towers and get her shows back?
• This racist realtor travels around a neighborhood removing Black Lives Matter posters from people's properties solely because she's afraid they'll scare off potential clients for her business (which, by the end of the story, she is no longer working for).
• This woman repeatedly attempts to push her shopping cart through a laden u-boat stock cart, seemingly bewildered that the laws of physics are unwilling to yield for her. (Nor, of course, does it occur to her to actually ask the nearby stocker to move it.)
• This lady accidentally drives into the entrance of a high-security facility. That would be okay — mistakes happen, and so far she's only in an unsecured part of the driveway — only she refuses to reverse out and insists that the security guard instead open the gate so she can turn around in forward gear. Her stubbornness gets her arrested by armed police when she threatens to ram the gate down.
• This woman usually goes to the gym at a quiet time so she can have the whole place to herself during her workout. When someone else dares to try and use the equipment at the same time, first she tries claiming that she's reserved all the machines, then calls harrassment, and then goes so far as to pull the fire alarm to get everybody out so she can have the gym to herself as she expects. (This, naturally, gets her banned and facing criminal charges.)
• This woman sees a sign saying that a railway level crossing will be closed to road and foot traffic for a few days, leaps straight to the assumption that this applies to everybody except her, and cannot seem to comprehend that it's closed to everybody. If the end of the story does refer to her, then she continued not understanding that right up until she crashed her car through the new barriers onto the tracks.
• This customer is insistent that a store must remain open on Christmas Day, specifically to supply her with cranberries (which she apparently waited until Christmas Eve to buy, by which time they'd sold out). After all, it's not like retail workers are entitled to spend any time with their families or have any kind of life outside work, right?
• A cookie brand changes their packaging from blue to red. Enter this customer, who freaks out that it's going to destroy the color-coordination in their (supposedly) award-winning pantry. She's unable to accept that companies just change product packaging sometimes and instead leaps to the conclusion that because the cashier buys the same cookies, they've stolen all of the blue-packaged cookies for their own pantry.
• This guy appears to believe that the coffee shop he's in exists solely to serve him, and is confused as to why they made a drink that wasn't the one he wanted (because it's someone else's drink). He's utterly bewildered when it's pointed out to him that the shop in fact has numerous other customers, something he was apparently never aware of until now.
  Customer: Has it always been that way?
  OP: ...Yes?
• This crazy lady walks into a vet's office with a Pomeranian and asks the vet to redo her highlights – not the dog's highlights, her highlights – as the ongoing global pandemic meant that her hairstylist was closed. Already she's pushing it, but as she leaves, she leaves behind the Pomeranian, casually mentioning that it's not hers – she stole it just to get in the vet's. Thankfully, the vet was able to speedily reunite the dog with its real owner, but the woman vanishes before they could have her ass arrested.
• This woman is adamant that her new kitchen be installed within the week. Never mind that the city's experiencing heavy flooding^note heavily implied to be the 2013 Calgary floods and is declaring a state of emergency, the installer's had to evacuate, all the major roads are closed, and thousands of people are now homeless – her new kitchen cannot wait!
• This woman visiting a shop that's been closed for a week:
  Customer: “WHY?! HOW DARE YOU SHUT?! YOU’RE STEALING MY BANGLE! WHY ARE YOU CLOSED?!”
  Submitter (losing patience): “MY FATHER DIED FIVE DAYS AGO!”
  Customer: "So?"
• This story gives us "Miss Smith," a very entitled woman who insists on being given Room 101 in the hotel. Unfortunately, this time Room 101 has been given to someone else, and she is irate. Never mind that all the rooms in the hotel are the same, or that the person in it has been placed in the room by disaster relief after his house burned down. She winds up having to be arrested.
• This creep thinks that because he spent a lot of money at a store, that gives him the right to go out with the cashier submitter. He even reveals that seeing the submitter was the only reason he visited the store in the first place. The manager throws him out.
• This woman, angry that she wasn't able to get a shopping cart, steals someone else's. But even crazier is the fact that first she had to remove the baby that was in the cart while the mother's back was turned and placed it on the floor while she made off with the cart. But what tops it is the fact that all she had to carry was one loaf of bread.
• This person picks up and hangs up the phone at the cash register whenever it rings, saying he doesn't want anything to "come between" him and the cashier.
• This customer tries to crawl into a bathroom stall being used by the pregnant submitter – despite there being other stalls she can use – because she thinks of it as "her" stall.
• This "pair of entitled nightmares in human suits" demand that a tech company get a pair of tablets to them in time for Christmas despite the company being overwhelmed with demands for Christmas. What really qualifies them as this trope is when they demand that the company hire private helicopters to deliver the tablets to them. Naturally, when told that this isn't feasible, they're reduced to screaming Angrish at both the submitter and their manager (including the usual "do you know who I am?!" speil) until they take their business elsewhere, to which the submitter and their manager say "good riddance!"
• These cruise ship guests consider themselves above the crew, believing that they can do whatever they want and the crew cannot tell them what to do (which they immediately exercise by ignoring the requests to attend the mandatory safety briefing); this is compounded by casual racism, they deciding that if they're not being told what they want to hear then the crew aren't speaking English. They get their just desserts when they arrive back to the port about half an hour after the ship was scheduled to depart (having continued their racist comments towards the crew giving out the return instructions), and the ship leaves without them.
• This customer is annoyed that the bakery worker closed the shop for five minutes to use the toilet.
  Submitter: “Well, the owner can’t do much about toilet breaks.”
  Customer: “Well, he shouldn’t give his workers those!”
  Submitter: “You mean basic human rights?”
  Customer: “Yes! Those!”
• This crank calls a streaming service to complain about the boxing match he just watched because "my guy didn't win!" And when the submitter tells them that the company has no control over the fight's outcome, they ask the submitter to call the hotel the match was at and ask them to re-do the fight.
  • Similarly, this customer complains to his cable company when the pay-per-view boxing match he watches ends after only three rounds and tells the cable company to "tell them to get back up and fight some more!"
• This story:
  Woman: “Adopt the animals? How stupid! Why would you let them do that?”
  Submitter: “We’re here to make sure the animals go to good homes, ma’am.”
  Woman: “But then how do my kids get to play with the puppies?”
• This bizarre man suggests that the computer maker remove all the "useless" keys on the keyboard just for him.
  Customer: “I never understood why all these keyboards have two buttons for ‘O’. Let’s get rid of one of those. And this backspace button, lose it. I don’t make errors…”
• This teenager, on hearing that her father died, decides to max out his credit card before reporting his death to the company. Fortunately she's too stupid to realize that what she's doing is fraud, and gets her ass arrested after bragging about her crime to the submitter.
• This story features two different mothers who take their children into a handicapped stall when there's a wheelchair-bound woman who may be having bladder troubles who needs it more, and there are other stalls available. What's worse is that the first child claims they didn't even need to go to the toilet, and the second child pushes the wheelchair-bound woman back to get in the stall, then her mother throws a tantrum when the wheelchair-bound woman and the submitter object.
• This hotel guest objects when the submitter – the only chef the hotel has available – can't cook the breakfasts she wants for her husband because they burned their hand to the point where it's not usable. She even has the gall to complain online.
• This hotel guest asks the submitter to carry their bags, which – despite the submitter being injured and having braces on their wrist and knees – they accomplish. Then the guest says he'll be complaining to the submitter's manager because "I don't like how you did it."
• This racist caller asks a taxi company to make sure his driver is white so he could "feel safer"… in New York City.
  Submitter: “Yeah, you’re not getting out of the airport…”
• Another bigot who demands that the nearest white guy – the submitter, who wasn't even the manager – tell "his" workers to stop speaking Spanish… in Mexico. Then when the submitter tells her he can't do that, she pushes him off the boat (in the process getting herself covered in sauce from the submitter's burrito).

Not Always Working

• This employee calls a tech support person about an e-mail. The employee made a typo regarding a mailing list and wants to rectify that, but do they ask for the e-mail to be recalled or send out another e-mail with the correction? Nope, they ask the tech support person to change the name of the mailing list to match the name in the e-mail instead. Never mind that the mailing list is already being used a lot and they don't own it — admitting that they made a mistake is far more of an issue.
• This man absolutely refuses to turn down the volume from the maximum level on his computer or use headphones, because he needs to know every single time he gets an email. Never mind that everyone else has to hear the noise too and is very irritated by it.
• Some people just cannot understand that other people have different preferences than them.
  • This pizza place manager has actually been deliberately overcooking customers' pizzas, because he apparently likes them that way and cannot possibly understand that other people might not like pizza that looks and tastes like charcoal, even though he's apparently getting upwards of ten calls every day complaining about it.
  • Likewise for this barista, who adds coffee to the submitter's chai latte - because he likes them with coffee, and doesn't realize (or care) that the customers that are actually ordering it may not feel the same way.
  • And for a hat trick, this waitress responds to the submitter's request to not have a lemon slice in their drink by putting half a lemon in the drink. When the submitter points this out to her, she screams “EVERYONE HAS LEMON! IT’S BETTER!” and throws her tray at them. She's fired on the spot.
• This director thinks that no one he laid off could feel as bad as he did letting people go.
• This car dealership employee expects her manager to schedule around what she wants, rather than having the manager set the schedule and consider any special circumstances.
• This boss, in an interview, tells the interviewer that numerous other businesses donated shelves for them, enough so that they have plenty of unused shelves in storage, but then scoffs at the idea of donating the extras to someone else in need like he was, because "that's for us to use".
• This lady doesn't care if a coworker already booked a week off from work earlier than her to attend her cousin's wedding. If she wants to go on a last minute holiday with her kids, she will, and will bully or shame her coworkers to make them give up their day off for her, and if they refuse to do so, she’ll simply call in sick and take the vacation anyway.
• This manager denies the submitter's vacation request that had been pending for eight months, just so she can take her own last-minute vacation, then threatens to fire the submitter if they miss even a single shift in that time period. When she's found out by the owner, she is written up (as it wasn't her first such incident) and forced to work every single shift that she had scheduled the submitter for, before being fired a week after that for making another employee push carts in a thunderstorm.
• This interviewer does very little interviewing; she starts it twenty-five minutes late, spends most of the appointment rambling about her family, interrupts every time the submitter attempts to speak, automatically assumes that because she's a regular at the nearby adult store everybody else is as well and if they deny it they're just embarrassed, and asks if the submitter has any questions while already getting up to leave.
• This housekeeping staff made a complaint to her boss over the hospital's night shift staff. The reason? The night shift staff got so sick and tired of the housekeeper stealing their lunches before they ever got a chance to eat that they all bought special lunch boxes with padlocks so she couldn't steal their food again. Apparently to this food thief, stopping her from stealing their lunches was discrimination and theft, so she wanted those special lunch boxes banned. Instead she got transferred to the day shift so her boss could keep an eye on her to stop her from stealing lunches again (with the day shift staff also buying their own special lunch boxes as well).
• This coworker takes an intense dislike to the submitter because they were hired instead of her boyfriend. After making the submitter's work life hell for a while, she makes a runner for another job when she gets on thin ice with management. Later, when the company enters dire straits, they consider rehiring her just to have an experienced person on board. The ex-coworker promptly sends management a list of non-negotiable demands over thirty items long (including having the submitter fired in favor of her boyfriend, setting her own hours, declaring who is and is not allowed to sit next to her, and even stocking specific snacks for her) assuming that they'll do anything to have her back. She's wrong.

Not Always Romantic

• This girl demanded that her boyfriend come out as trans so she could have a girlfriend.
• One "bridezilla" pulls her sister out of the wedding when she becomes pregnant, despite knowing that she had been trying for three years so this was always a possibility. A few months later, the mother, with tears in her eyes, says that the sister lost the baby. The bridezilla just dismisses it by saying that at least now, she can be in the wedding. The mother, now furious, announces she won't finance the wedding, and the would-be groom calls the whole thing off the next day.
• This woman informs her prospective boyfriend on the first date that she is a "queen" and expects him to, essentially, live to serve her from now on: catering to her every whim, taking her on expensive trips, photographing her in exotic places (or hiring a professional photographer if he can't do it himself), driving her around in an expensive car, etc. In return, she will... grace him with her presence and let her Instagram followers know he's her boyfriend. When the guy calmly stands up and leaves, she contemptously calls him "another little rat", suggesting he's not the first man to refuse to put up with her insane demands.
• This boyfriend throws a snowball at the submitter because "it's fun!" not caring that the submitter has rheumatism and the cold felt "like I’m being stabbed with a huge, blunt knife" and downplays her pain even as the submitter calls him out. What really solidifies him as this trope though is later, when he complains that her "tantrum" ruined his day.
  File under reason number 2978972 why he’s my ex now.

Not Always Related

• The poster's mother-in-law is a speech pathologist, and loves her career. Unfortunately she's decided that because she loves speech pathology so much, that means everyone else in the world must love it as well and it's the best possible career for a woman, and is determined that her daughter-in-law — a former truck driver studying to be an accountant — must follow her career path, refusing to listen when she explains that she is a different person with different skills and interests. Finally, the poster demands to know why she should take on a career in which she has no interest just because her MIL says so, and is told "Because I want you to!"
• This older sister is bitter that her younger sibling got married and pregnant before she did, so while she's at the baby's gender reveal party she publicly wishes that her sister would either miscarry or get an abortion, and when their middle brother calls her out on it, she destroys the cake and spoils the surprise.
  • Similarly, this cousin, who's already established to be a Womanchild, throws a temper tantrum and throws a punchbowl out the window when the submitter gets proposed to before she is.
    Cousin: “I’m the older, prettier, smarter one. I’m better than you; I should get married first.”

Not Always Friendly

• This roommate flagrantly puts off paying the submitter's relative money she owes him for a vacation she and her fellow money-stricken friends took, claiming that she had her own bills to pay when in reality she's spending money on manicures, fandom memorabilia, and other things for herself. It takes the submitter threatening to return the four $60 anime figures the roommate just bought for the roommate to finally begrudgingly pay the money she owes the submitter's relative. It unfortunately doesn't end there, as the story ends with the submitter in trouble with their relative and the roommate getting petty revenge by moving out and taking all of the food with her, leaving the submitter and the remaining roommate without their own food for two weeks.
• This friend tries to strong-arm the submitter into attending her birthday party taking place on Halloween (even though her birthday is mid-November) even though the submitter has a prior commitment, namely, chaperoning their little brother and his friends as they go trick-or-treating, which the friend doesn't think is more important than her (not) birthday party. It eventually reaches the point where the friend says that she hopes the friend gets mugged or hit by a car for daring to prioritize making sure their brother has a safe Halloween over not attending her party and later tries to manipulate the submitter into attending anyway, and it's implied that she insults the little brother and his friends the next morning at school while laying into the submitter for not attending the party. Unsurprisingly, the submitter ends their friendship very quickly.
• This online D&D GM whose online D&D story the submitter attempts to join seems to only want to play on their own terms while rejecting any suggestions or character concepts that conflict with that (or bending them to fit said terms) or kicking/blocking any players who can't or won't play by their rules. The submitter later finds out that the GM got so frustrated with the other players (presumably because they wouldn't unanimously conform to the way the GM wanted to play or kept doing things the GM didn't want them to do) that they kicked everyone out of the game and blocked them.
• This selfish roommate uses her minor disability as an excuse to not share her bedroom with another roommate and paying only half her rent while the submitter and her friend still had to pay their rent in full. And when the submitter's friend leaves after having an argument with the roommate, making rent unaffordable, the selfish roommate has a "brilliant idea" of solving their rent problems by inviting two new roommates and giving them the submitter's room without her input while the submitter sleeps in the living room behind a shower curtain. This act is the last straw for the submitter, and she decides to move out. However, the roommate demands that the submitter continue paying her rent for a year even though they never made a contract, and when the submitter won't budge, the roommate keeps badmouthing and harassing the submitter and her mother! Thankfully, this last act gets the attention of the Dean who orders the roommate to stop harassing the submitter under threat of expulsion.
• The submitter in this story realises how much of a selfish jerk her longtime friend has become when she refuses to respect and criticize the submitter's likes and hobbies, yet expects the submitter to respect hers. She also calls the submitter childish for not liking fish, even though the taste of fish makes the submitter gag and lose her appetite. These incidents, along with her insincere apologies, lead the submitter to end their friendship, block her number, and never call her again.
• After moving to a new house, the submitter's neighbor expects the submitter to continue building a pool that was abandoned by the previous owner (which the submitter plans to fill it up since they're not interested of having a pool) since he wants the pool for his kids and doesn't want to build it himself.
• This neighbor throws a fit when she can no longer steal the submitter's tomatoes (they having been moved indoors), going so far as to claim that they're hers and demand their own key so they can collect them.
• Similarly, this guy steals and eats eggs from his neighbours' chickens, then has the nerve to complain when they make him sick (they were fertilized and not meant for eating).
• This backpacker puts her hiking boots in a freezer in order to kill the bacteria that make her feet "stink heaps". She can't understand why the people who store food in said freezer are disgusted by this, and gets irate at the suggestion she should simply store them outside. (And as pointed out in the comments, it wouldn't work anyway — most of the bacteria would simply go dormant, and since the boots would be wet when thawed, she's just encouraging them to grow.) She then throws in a bit of casual racism for good measure.
• This guy joins a group of friends in their outings and get-togethers and promptly attempts to seize control of everything the group does, from what music they listen to to what games they play, and pushes them into doing activities that he is the only one interested in doing. The last straw happens when he shows up to the submitter's birthday party uninvited and tries to force the group to get drunk with him over poker games, to the point of turning off the TV in the middle of the group's intense Mario Kart race to demand the group do so. At this point, the friend who originally invited him to join their group in the first place finally tells him to stop trying to make everything about him, resulting in the guy sitting around pouting for a while before quietly slinking out the door, never being heard from by the group again afterward.
• This crazy lady deliberately brings her un-neutered dog to the dog park in hope that he'll mate with other dogs to produce a puppy she can give to her grandson. It's not like the other dogs and their owners will mind!

Not Always Legal

• This man tries to cut off a bus and causes an enormous traffic pile-up as he tries to force the bus to move out of his way. He refuses to move and tries to attack everyone who comes to tell him to move, including the police, all because he thought he was above the law and that the world had to move for him. His egomaniac behavior gets his driver's license revoked and lands him in jail and with several fines, including an assault charge made by a truck driver he hit.
• This woman encounters a tow truck and several vehicles blocking her road, and flips her lid, demanding that they move immediately or she's calling the police, ignorant (and seemingly uncaring) of the fact that they are with the police and in fact are recovering a vehicle involved in a fatal accident. When the first squad officer to arrive arrests her, she detonates, ultimately ending up with eighteen weekends in jail for obstruction, assault on a police officer, misuse of 911, interfering with an investigation, and tampering with evidence (for attempting to spit on the tow truck driver).
• This woman supposedly got cut off by an ambulance responding to a call, and is absolutely irate not only that they did it but moreso that they're prioritizing tending to a man having a heart attack over appeasing her. She then proceeds to whip out pepper spray and not only sprays the two EMTs but also the heart attack victim, screaming that they're too young to be having a heart attack, at which point bystanders have to step in and restrain her. Once the police arrive she then adds resisting arrest to her growing rap sheet, starting with the standard It's All About Me line: "Do you know who I am?!"
• The coworker of this author is a proud Sovereign Citizen (read: a person who thinks they're above the law thanks to nonexistent loopholes in the Constitution), who, after the author blows a stop sign as a result of trying to tune out his pseudolegal Word Salad Philosophy, goes out of his way to antagonize a cop who pulls the two of them over and nearly get BOTH of them arrested. It takes the author hitting his Rage Breaking Point and full blast screaming at Coworker to stop his antics lest he throw Coworker out on the street. The coworker complies... only to later try and claim the author attempted to shoot him on the road to their boss. It's implied that this gets Coworker fired, while the author is offered the vacant job spot left behind.
