The most self entitled thing you've ever seen....

grundie

My 2 1/2 yo daughter is princess obsessed, I don't mind as she'll grow out of it one day. Every day, she goes to a summer fun camp thing that has play rooms, dancing and arts/crafts. It's run by her creche, but for the summer children up to 6 can attend.

I was asked by another child's mother if I could get my daughter to stop saying she is a princess so much as it was bothering her 5 year old daughter who doesn't like it when there are other princesses around. After a moment of confusion I just said "No, I can't do that". The mother did try to keep the discussion going, but I said sorry and left.

Is this what happens when you have kids?

I wonder if the mothers of the ten million children who die from hunger each year ever worried about princess overload :rolleyes:

I dunno would you consider this self-entitled or just plain d!ckheadish behaviour but was at a hurling qualifier a few years ago in Limerick, Galway had just beaten Cork. Anyway during the match I had noticed a woman in front of me playing on her iPhone, clearly enthralled by the match. The match ended and most people scattered onto the pitch, just about to leave when I noticed the phone on the ground. My dad suggested handing it to the stewards, I said we'd wait on and see did this woman return. Sure enough around 25 mins later she returns, she looks under her seat and I say 'does this belong to you'? She kind of just looks at me and mutters 'oh yeah', grabs the phone and walks off with her friend again. Before ye think it was someone pulling a fast one it was definitely the same woman. Just the lack of a 'thank you' that really galls me, not sure how many 15 year olds would have waited around in that situation :mad:

I might have been raised differently but some people in this country do not appreciate anything!

I mentioned it to the staff of the creche and they told me that the girl in question is just difficult in general. She keeps going in to the toddlers room and hoards the toys even though it isn't allowed and just generally acting like a spoiled diva. They are going to have words with her parents.

And it isnt even the kids fault. I pity her. She is being turned into a diva by indulgent parenting.

I get that and just today handed someone money they'd dropped but got nice appreciation for the deed. Personally I would have probably thanked you for about 5 minutes and offered to buy you a pint or something, maybe a few cans of cider seeing as you were 15:P
But some people are so inherently shy in such situation I imagine they come across as rude but are actually extremely grateful. I have no idea if this was the case in this instance but I think it's something people should be aware of.

I used to work in a large clothing retail store mostly frequented by women with their very small children. Nearly every time I was on the fitting rooms, I'd get a woman with a buggy/couple of kids arguing with me over why she wasn't allowed to use the designated wheelchair fitting room. It normally went like this

Woman: Can I go in there? *points at room*
Me: I'm afraid not, that room is only for wheelchair people. Our fitting rooms are usually wide enough to fit the buggy though.
Woman: Yes, but there is way more space for me and the buggy in the wheelchair room. I feel cramped bringing the buggy into a normal fitting room.
Me: No, I'm very sorry but that room is only for wheelchair customers.
Woman: But I have a buggy! I demand to see the manager!

The odd time when someone did let a buggy in, the kids would climb out, run around and pull the emergency cord, setting off the assistance alarms from the wheelchair room, or we'd get an elderly lady in a chair forced to wait 10/15 minutes. The entitlement of some people is unreal!

Another favourite: Can I park in the wheelchair space?
Me: No, that's for wheelchair users only.
customer: but it's sunday, aren't there different rules on a sunday?
Me: *smacks head off wall*

Lando Griffin

A few years back I was driving my Skoda Fabia down a narrow country road when an Audi A6 came towards me.
We both pulled in as far as we could but the passanger mirrors on both cars got smashed.
We stopped and got out and agreed that nothing could have been done and it was 50 -50.
He then pipes up " you'll still be paying for mine though"
I asked him how he came to that conclusion as it was 50-50 and he replied "Cos mine is an Audi and yours is only a Skoda"

^^ Interesting theory.

So what happened after??

He was kinda right. 50/50 means that you pay half of eachother's damage, not look after your own

Aahhh! Good point.

Although in that situation I'd take 50-50 to mean that we each look after our own damage. It's not Lando's fault someone else drives a car that is expensive to repair.

It is though. If a person is 50% to blame, it doesn't matter if the other person's car is worth €1 or €500,000, you are responsible for 50% of the damage

Not wanting to derail the thread, so I'll leave it there

Disagree (as the two lads with the cars clearly did).

If you are both 50% responsible, then you are each equally responsible. Since you have no say (or benefit) in the type of car your crashee is driving, it is fair that you look after your own cars damage and he look after his.

It's 50:50 blame, but it's not your problem if some geezer has a gold-plated car.

According to his Garda friend who he rang, I pay for my mirror and he pays for his.
Thats the way it ended, him cursing his luck in having to shell out a couple of hundred for a mirror and me only a fraction of that.

It doesn't make a difference! The driver's side is still near the middle of the road, and the passenger's side near the edge.

As it should be.

Nobody forced him to buy a car that is expensive to maintain. The 50:50 blame has no bearing on this.

Well done Lando.

I'd also suspect that two Skoda Fabia's could have passed without hitting each other.

Some examples of what is meant by 50/50 settlement. If you agreed to settle your own damages, then it wasn't a 50/50 settlement

Right, I've read all 43 pages and mauzo's s**t story has to win the Gold.

However, I don't believe this was answered yet - mauzo, have you told this disgusting guy that he cost you €1,000 in cleaning costs? If not, why not? Has anybody confronted him about it? I just cannot fathom not saying anything to him.

My brother (lets call him X) moved back to Ireland shortly after I was made redundant and borrowed €500 for a rent deposit from me. I gave him the cash because I'd gotten my redundancy pay out and wrote the money off because I know he never pays anything back. He was back a week later to ask for €2000 to buy a car.

He also likes to stay with me when he's in Dublin in an "I'm staying in your house tonight" kind of way, then he wanted to rent my spare room - first I heard of this was from another sibling who told me 'X says he's going to rent your spare room'. I had to put a stop to that pretty sharpish.

Straight talking is what's needed there.

I would have no problem (in principle) giving a sibling money that we agree I'll never see again, but I'd be upset if it was a "loan" that just went unpaid.

It was a straightforward 'no' that he got from me. His last stunt was asking to stay in my house one night then, after I'd had a couple of beers, asking if he could stay there for a month. I gave him the number of someone who had a room to rent. He seems to have taken the hint so far.

I won't give him any more money, and I wouldn't even if I had it. He's borrowed a ton of money off of other family members and has only paid back as little as he can get away with when they have actively gone looking for it from him.

Well, not as bad.... but my brother, his OH and my nephew were in the US. They were due to return earlier than anticipated because of work.
There house wouldn't be ready in time (they were renting it out when they were away and wanted to give tenant time to find a new property in the area).

MY other brother has a gaff five mins from the one coming home. with 3 spare rooms. My brother decides though that he wants to stay with mammy, meaning I have to move out for six weeks, over xmas.

I was never asked and there was millions of arguments, had to leave tv, electric blanket and empty my wardrobes into suitcases in order to move into my other brothers spare room.

My mother was just happy to have the family home, as was I... but extremely put out tbh. it was just a few mins away but it wasn't home.

Everytime since it's come up... my brothers roars laughing about it but it gets to me that he just decided he would take over my space and never asked or even mentioned it directly to me.

I moved out shortly afterwards, it was 'my room' but really.... it was the 'spare room' that I was sleeping in and had to move out anytime anyone came to stay.

Never again!

Went to get diesel yesterday at a busy station. Luckily get a free one. But as I fill I notice the two pumps on the other side aren't being used. Why? A stupidly parked car. A women decided as she wasn't getting fuel to park in between the two pumps. Blocking them both. This petrol station had a car park right outside the door :mad: not sheltered like the pumps but it wasn't raining and so what if it had.

She only bought a pack of cigs and took forever(I'd pumped and was one behind her in the queue)... Some people think of no one else. I personally couldn't do that without feeling like a total scumbag. There was about 7 cars waiting. Another bloke was eating his lunch in his car taking up another pump. 6 pumps in total. 3 effectively out of use.

Drivers have rules to follow and can't have both in the wheelchair space. If something goes wrong and an accident claim goes in it's his job on the line.

It's not uncommon, it's been discussed on Joe Duffy and in commuting forum but I never believed anyone would do it until I saw it myself

Should have stopped up the bus and refused to leave until the lazy bitch got off and had some manners. That’s what I would have done
