Teachers Around The World Who Will Make You Love Studies
Some say being an educator is the hardest job on the planet – and it is not to hard to understand why that is. As if balancing between the material needed to be taught and over-demanding intrusive parents aren’t enough, then there are the mischievous kids who could take up pranking as a profession. However, these hilarious teachers decided they’d have the last laugh.
Green With Envy
This woman dreamed of becoming a history teacher since the very first time she heard a famous quote by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States.

Green With Envy
The quote was the following: “The more you know about the past, the better you are prepared for the future.” Hearing this, she knew she was going to get her Masters in Education and History – despite all those who claimed she is not capable of achieving such things because of her looks. Well, she proved them wrong.
All Play No Work
Looking back at first grade, it seems all we ever did was draw, play, sing and generally have fun. As we moved up a grade, lessons became harder and school turned more demanding, which is understandable, but also much less fun.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
All Play No Work
For this reason, this teacher decided to become a first-grade teacher – so that her students would always look back and remember how much they loved her – unlike the horrible math teacher they will have in the not so distant future, for example.
All The Single Papers
Pop star and musical legend Beyonce Knowles is often referred to as Queen B – and this teacher wanted a slice of her success.

All The Single Papers
Using the woman who coined the saying “if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it”, the teacher altered the famous song’s lyrics by swapping them with “if ya wanted a grade, ya shoulda put ya name on it.” It may sound ridiculous, but it gets the point across.
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Growing up in the South, this teacher never thought that she would return to her old school and teach 3rd graders.

Home Is Where The Heart Is
In fact, if you would have asked her of her fondest memories as a child, she would have said that listen to her favorite teacher teach the class about Geography took her back to feeling as though she was where she belonged. That is why she left her job as a lawyer and pursued a different dream – and boy was she glad she did it.
A Foot For A Foot
If you are going to stay up all night and play video games despite the fact it is a school night, there will be consequences.

A Foot For A Foot
This pupil had no idea what was coming when he dozed off in the middle of class, but the last thing he would have anticipated was that his teacher would stop the class in order to get even. While the rest of the students sat there and giggled, the teacher bent down and tied his student’s shoelaces together. That’ll teach him!
Look At My Body
It is a well-known fact that teachers often need to make sure they are acting in a way that would be an example for their students. Young Sarah, on the other hand, took things slightly too far when she made it her life’s mission to teach her students about the human body.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Look At My Body
Using her own anatomy as a demonstration, she bought a tank top and tights printed with the muscles and internal parts of the human body and proudly wore it around the school.
Scuba Certified
Looking at this brilliant composition, we cannot help but wonder if these teachers knew they were going to have a blue background for their yearbook photos, or if they just brought many costume options and went along with whatever felt right in the moment.

Scuba Certified
The outcome is hilarious, and there is no doubt in our minds that if the teaching staff in this school handed out awards for Most Valued Educators, Jack, Joshua, and Kimberly would win by a landslide.
The Opposite of a Mermaid
Students often attempt to scrape extra points by rambling on pointlessly, thus making their answers longer, or coming up with funny illustrations, begging for mercy when giving the final grade.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Opposite Of A Mermaid
More often than not, teachers laugh off these attempts and disregard the request – but not this teacher. In fact, this teacher was in such high spirits, he decided to award every pupil four bonus points for one student’s drawing of what he referred to as a “man dolphin.”
Time To Retire
Times have definitely changed since these teachers were students, in many ways. Putting aside certain standards, curriculums, and involvement of parents, technology is now highly felt and dominant in the education system.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Time To Retire
Not only have computers taken the place of printed materials, but now, giving out a written assignment will most likely involve jargon of the online social media sphere, which is foreign to many teachers, just like the one who wrote he’s “too old” to read and understand what his pupil wrote.
Some By Fire
When a wasp flies into a classroom, there are two things you expect to happen – people will scream, and people will run for their lives. It is actually quite funny how, no matter how small the bug is, it is human nature to fear its sting.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Some By Fire
However, this teacher wanted to teach its students a valuable lesson in bravery, which is why is grabbed a torch and flammable spray – and set the wasp on fire. Call it a sixth sense, but we feel an anti-animal abuse protest coming.
Sin b/Tan b=Cos b
By pairing the students’ learning curve with memorable pneumonic devices, the teacher is guaranteed to get the most out of their lessons.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Sin b/Tan b=Cos b
Most students presumably learned ‘SOHCAHTOA’ when they were studying trigonometry, yet this math professor comprehended that in order to take things one step further, he needed to remind the students that when the sine of b is divided by the tan of b, it equals the cosine of b. Altogether, it is easier to remember this when written as cos b, or “[Bill] Cosby.”
Walkens Not Accepted
The Oscar winning sandy hair colored actor who is well known for both his immense talent and somewhat nervous disposition, also known as Christopher Walken, is not the only one forbidden from walking into this school’s principle’s office.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Walkens Not Accepted
In fact, it does not matter if you two have starred in Pulp Fiction or Catch Me If You Can – if you do not have a scheduled appointment, you are not going to get a meeting. Walken’s stern expression is proof of that.
The Gift Of Math
Not only students get restless towards Christmas break, as everyone looks forward to the festivity of the holidays and getting to spend time with their family after being apart for so long.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Gift Of Math
This teacher was also looking forward to a well-deserved break, especially seeing as how he taught math and his less than appreciative students were not fond of the subject. To uplift their spirits and change their attitude, the teacher decided to dress up with a Santa Claus hat and write out the most suitable math problem.
May The Force Be With You
We are going to guess that the person who drew this Star Wars reference dreamed of being an art teacher, but had to settle on their second preference instead: physics.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
May The Force Be With You
Too bad this sketch was drawn on a whiteboard, as this means that it can easily be erased. A work of art like this should be immortalized on a canvas or print, as it is not often one sees an attempt to tie physics to pop culture.
Passing The Time
Suffering from exam stress is no laughing matter – in fact, a significant percentage of the American youth are known to suffer from the condition.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Passing The Time
Exam stress is frustrating in the sense that it can make those who studied for months on end completely blackout during a test since they are so nervous about time passing and the influence the exam will have on their final test that they have no recollection of what they learned. It’s safe to say a sign like this isn’t helping.
Those Who Can’t Do, Teach
Getting a good grade can make someone’s day – especially if that someone spent a lot of time studying and worrying about the test.

Those Who Can’t Do, Teach
And just as Sarah thought her day could not be getting any better, she received this paper back with an A+ and an additional comment that made her appreciate her English Literature teacher more than ever before. In fact, it was not only Sarah who ‘nailed it’ on her test – but her teacher did with this response, too.
Lord Of The Plagiarism
Getting an F on a paper is alarming – it goes to show that you have not done your proper research or put in the effort. This student, on the other hand, not only slacked off when writing the assignment but he “directly lifted, word for word, from Philip French, who just happens to be the critic of the year.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Lord Of The Plagiarism
To make things worse, the text was copied from a well-known website of The Guardian. The stamp, although stating the student failed, is a cushion softening the blow.
The Overlord
Cheating might get you a pass in one test, but it is really worth the risk of getting caught, and as consequence, expelled? Even if a student is confident enough that luck is on his or her side, you would think the sheer guilt would be enough to put them off the stunt.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Overlord
To make sure the right choice is taken, this teacher has taken his job requirements to a whole new level – by sitting on a ladder and watching all his students from above.
Hands Off The Piano
Music teachers tend to be eccentric, but this sign is pure genius. Instead of hanging up the usual “do not touch” sign, the teacher thought of leaving the students with a different message, adding a tongue in cheek joke explaining that unless you are that musical genius that was Mozart, you are not allowed to play the piano without permission.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Hands Off The Piano
And since the praised and celebrated Mozart is no longer amongst the living, the chances of a student having his reincarnated soul are slim to none.
Game Of Spoilers
Some like to skip towards the end of the book to know the final outcome prior to reading through all the chapters, but when it comes to Game of Thrones, there is no such thing.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Game Of Spoilers
The books turned TV show has taken over audiences like an epidemic, leaving almost no one untouched. Therefore, when this teacher threatened to spoil HBO’s most-watched series, his demand for silence was met almost immediately. Now that is one way of getting what you want from the students!
Missing In Action
Josh Hance thought that the timeless excuse “the dog ate my homework” was overplayed, so he came up with one that seemed more likely than his family pet having a less than healthy appetite – “it went missing.”
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Missing In Action
His teacher, Mrs. Azrai, thought his excuse was rather creative at first, but over time it made less sense. Eventually, his ability to misplace his homework resulted in his teacher granting him the not so prestigious or glamorous ‘Bermuda Triangle’.
The Elements Of Gaga
Pop icon and A-list star Lady Gaga released a tremendously successful single in 2009 titled “Bad Romance”. This chemistry teacher was very witty in grabbing his students’ attention – he used the periodic table in order to recreate the intro of the Lady Gaga’s song, which ensured that they would remember this random collection of elements.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Elements Of Gaga
Just imagine showing up to a science test and humming Lady Gaga to remember the correct answers. That is a guaranteed A+ in both music and chemistry.
Surprise Surprise
Maria had only recently graduated with a bachelor degree in education, but could not wait to begin working as a teacher. That is why she began teaching as soon as she got out of college – but her students were no amateurs.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Surprise Surprise
They could spot an inexperienced teacher when they came across one, which is why they swapped her chalk board eraser with a sponge drenched in bleach. However, if they thought their teacher hadn’t come prepared, they had another thing coming!
Cal Tefler-English Teacher
Cal Telfer might seem like your ordinary English teacher, but when the student put in charge of the yearbook approached him with a simple request to describe where he is from, Mr. Telfer knew this was finally his chance to break out of his shell and show a different side to his beloved students.

Cal Tefler-English Teacher
This just goes to show that despite what many might think, just because they are educators and grade papers, that does not mean that teachers do not have a sense of humor.
A Titanic Endeavor
If you have not seen the 1997 bank breaking blockbuster that put both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet on the map, Titanic, the good news is that you now have a film to watch on your next movie night.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Titanic Endeavor
The line, “draw me like one of your French girls,” comes from the scene in which DiCaprio’s character, Jack Dawson, has an intimate moment with Rose, played by Winslet. This hilariously displayed skeleton is asking students to label all its bones, referencing the movie.
You’re My Only Hope
Looks like the teacher, Brain Dennert (or should we say, Princess Leia?) lost his way again. The Royal High School in California is known for enforcing strict security measures, which is why each member of staff must have their ID card with them at all times when on school property.

You’re My Only Hope
However, it is not really easy to understand what the teacher actually looks like, as he could easily be mistaken for an intergalactic princess holding a blaster.
Belieb At Your Own Risk
Being a Belieber, or a Justin Beiber fan, is mostly embarrassing to those above a certain age since his mainstream music is associated with tackiness. However, there is no denying the young star is worth millions, make one record-breaking hit after another and selling out completely in whatever venue he is set to perform.

Belieb At Your Own Risk
Still, it seems this teacher found that her students are not admirers of the “Baby” singer, since receiving this pencil is a form of punishment.
Prank Photos
If you are going to confiscate your student’s phone, why not make the most of it and swap the background picture with an incredibly embarrassing one of the school staff?

Prank Photos
After all, we all know it’s every student’s dream to turn on their phone an see their teachers staring back at them, even outside of school hours, haunting their every move. What could be more fun than that?
Looking “Professorial”
When a teacher does not show up for class for whatever reason and a substitute is sent to take her place for the day, students usually run wild and free as they feel like there is no authoritative figure there to set order.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Looking “Professorial”
This teacher knew very well that if she would not show up, no work would be completed that day, which is why she had the substitute project a slide with her picture on it looking serious and professional, to set the correct tone despite her absence.
Best Homework Ever
It may seem as though teachers enjoy giving homework out of spite, but the truth of the matter is that it is actually more work for them than it is for the kids.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Best Homework Ever
Teachers have to grade papers, check homework and read assignments during the weekends and late at night, seeing as how they all have to be at school throughout the day. That is probably why this teacher decided the only homework she is going to assign for Christmas break was something she wouldn’t have to check.
You Shall Pass
Gandalf is better known for wildly roaring “YOU SHALL NOT PASS” while evil creatures attempt to conquer the Fellowship of the Ring, but in this case, Gandalf chose to use his power differently.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
You Shall Pass
He was determined to assist a student, who he named Frodo, in navigating the halls of his high school. Nevertheless, it is quite noticeable that this teacher thought hall passes were pointless since he claimed that they were traveling from the Shire to Mordor, a Lord of the Rings reference, too.
Wall Of Shame
Seeing as how social media has taken over our lives to the fullest extent, we automatically protest when it comes to shaming.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Wall Of Shame
However, this teacher used his power to promote public shaming in a funny way, and this strategy was proven to be an effective learning tool. Only silly mistakes were mentioned on this wall, such as “I forgot to put my name on a quiz” and “I forgot a negative sign.” The only thing is, students would probably want to get up on that wall of fame/shame.
Snake in the Class
Why have an ordinary, boring yearbook picture when you can show off your school staff friendship in a way that will leave everyone in tears? This terrific trio was already well-known for their shenanigans around the school, but this was pretty crazy – even for them.

Snake In The Class
Overall, the attempt to pull off the ultimate joint picture prank came out well. Let’s just say that if it was revealed that these three were drama or art teachers, we would not be surprised.
Stormtrooper Infiltration
Stormtroopers were often useless in their duties, considering they failed to stop Luke from achieving his goal of destroying Darth Vader and his headquarters. Still, somehow it seems that one of their ranks succeeded in infiltrating this high school’s science department.

Stormtrooper Infiltration
Unfortunately for this Stormtrooper, it seems, he has found himself caught up in the life of a teacher, meaning that he has not been able to send useful information back to headquarters. At least he can take comfort in the fact that his presence was eternalized in this yearbook.
The Tears Of Students
This teacher had quite enough of his students making faces and complaining over the smallest and most insignificant matters, and no way was he going to teach a class the entire school year knowing he needs to tip-toe around his pupils.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Tears Of Students
For this reason, he thought he would come up with a creative solution to the constant whining – place a sticker on his water bottle with text reading “students’ tears.” That way, the grumbling would be lowered to a minimum.
History Come To Life
If you consider yourself to be dedicated to your job, maybe you should think again. This guy makes all other professionals look as though they are not putting enough effort, as his yearbook picture puts all other educators to shame.

Awarded the title of Best History Teacher Ever, this man made sure his black and white photo would look as authentic as possible, and he even went as far as to dress in a civil war soldier’s uniform, completing the replica with a stern expression.
Rick Rolled In Class
No one likes tests – especially if they come as a surprise and did not give the students enough time to prepare. The music teacher in charge of this test felt bad about surprising his students this way, but as a teacher, it comes with the job.

That is why he thought about adding a little pick me up at the end of the test – a question about the song his students knew very well. That way, a pass was a given grade no matter how they did.

It’s no secret that nearly everyone is a Star Wars fan. Most of us will even root for the bad guys just because they’re so cool. So he decided to dress up like Darth Vader for an entire lecture. Because why not?
Bribery For Good News
An open house meeting can be a particularly stressful period of the year for parents and students alike. It’s the one time of the year that the parents of students get a chance to talk directly to their teachers.

Bribery For Good News
This means that the truth about what you’re doing in class is likely to come out – depending on how well the teacher likes you, of course! For a small price, this teacher will spin a story for you and possibly even get you off the hook!
Late Assignments
Most of us tend to forget how hard teachers work to make sure that students stick to their due dates. The truth is that every curriculum has certain deadlines and dates that even teachers have to stick to, so when students hand in late assignments, it delays the whole process and means that they have to work extra time.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Late Assignments
This teacher skipped the usual speech and simply left a clear written warning for all who did not meet the deadline for their assignments!
Yo Mamma
We tend to forget that teachers are people too and that they have a sense of humor just like the rest of us. Well, at least some of them do! This teacher thought he’d try and catch a few students out while writing their science test by posing a rather funny scenario!

Yo Mamma
Instead of using a typical science test scenario, the teacher prompted students with a “Yo Mamma” joke! Who knew there was a science to “Yo Mama” jokes? Hilarious!
An Adequate Substitute
Josh went to get help from his teacher, knowing that if he planned on passing the mid-term fast approaching, he needed some extra work – and he needed it fast.

An Adequate Substitute
He arrived at his teacher’s office during his lunch break and knocked several times on her door, but when no response was heard, he pushed the door open to come face to face with this cardboard cutout. If this was a Halloween prank, drawing a freaky face would have gone a long way.
A Colorful Lesson
This teacher had enough of his students clowning around while he was trying to teach them about biology, so he figured it was about time they had a taste of their own medicine.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
A Colorful Lesson
Instead of wearing his usual suit and tie to school, he showed up at his 9 am class dressed up like a clown – a red, puffy nose, colorful tie, and rainbow themed wig were used to prove his point. From them on, it is safe to say the teacher was treated with the respect he deserved.
Revenge Is Best Served Cold
Angela was having a hard time balancing her personal and professional life, but there were certain things she was not willing to give up on – even if it came at the expense of her beauty sleep.

Revenge Is Best Served Cold
What she did not anticipate, however, is for her student to catch her trying to catch up on the homework she assigned her class while still wearing the outfit she wore to the bar the previous night. But do not fear, revenge was coming.
Physical Comedy
At first glance, it may seem as though the student became the master, but the truth is that this clever student simply wanted to make his teacher smile – and boy did he succeed.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Physical Comedy
Not only did he hand in this assignment of describing their chemistry experiment flawlessly, but he also added a little joke at the end of the written, graded work. We doubt this earned him any extra points, but it is good to see this teacher has a healthy sense of humor.
The Easiest Exam Question
Coming up with questions for quizzes are no fun – they require a lot of thought, especially when it comes to multiple choice questions, as they have to come up with the answers too.

..8..
The Easiest Exam Question
Mr. Gann was writing this test late at night and felt utterly exhausted, which is why he wrote a ludicrous final question, reading: “just answer ‘A’ …. no tricks, just answer A and you will get this question right.” Still, we can’t help but wonder if any student answered something else.
Knowledge Is Power – Physical Power
This teacher was trying to teach her student about the laws of gravity, and without noticing, she was forming the perfect example.

Knowledge Is Power – Physical Power
Needless to say that this proximity might be too close for comfort, at least that’s what we are getting for the confused look plastered on the teenage girl’s face. We can’t say we would feel comfortable having someone lean over this way either…
Grumpy Math Teacher
Being a teacher demands certain qualifications, but being a great one that students are able to relate to is a whole other matter. This lovely woman falls into the latter category, since making sure her students are at the top of their game and pass with flying grades is not enough for her.

40+ Times People Saw Infuriating ‘Choosing Beggars’ In Action

These Choosing Beggars Are Legendary
The world is full of all sorts of people: the brave, the foolish, the witty, you name it. Unfortunately, it is also full of the most ridiculously entitled people in all of existence. You can find most of these people somewhere on the internet, which is what we are going to talk about today: here are some choosing beggars so asininely entitled, that we can’t tell whether to laugh or shake our heads in disgust.
The Real Charge
We can understand why people feel displeased with the average cost of things like car repair. After all, a skilled mechanic can do many things quite quickly, so why do they have to charge so much?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Real Charge
Well, as this piece of paper so aptly says, it’s not about the time: it’s the skill and experience of several years that allows the mechanic (or any other craftsman) to perform the task so quickly. After all, if time was the only thing one needed to get the job done, you could do it yourself!
Calling the Kettle Black
If someone else is paying for your meal because you aren’t willing to pay for it, you really don’t have a leg to stand on in complaining about what they get you. Seems pretty entitled considering that one person is willing to pay while the other isn’t.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Calling the Kettle Black
If you aren’t willing to or can’t pay for a meal, you take what you can get! Beggars can’t be choosers unless someone allows them to be. That said, most people don’t.
Expecting the Impossible
When you go to a fast-food joint, you should expect your food to arrive in a somewhat timely fashion. However, that is highly dependent on how much food you are asking for. One meal for one person? Sure. Four meals? OK. But sixty-three? That’s a bit of a stretch.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Expecting the Impossible
In fact, we daresay that getting more than five dozen footlong sandwiches in just a little over an hour is pretty darn speedy for any Subway. You would think these people would be impressed, but evidently not.
Some Major Depreciation
When you buy something from someone else, you don’t generally expect to pay them as much as they paid for it at the store. After all, in a situation such as that, you could just buy it from the store to start with, right?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Some Major Depreciation
Still, it stands to reason that you at least pay a reasonable fraction of the store price. Literally, about 2-3% of the total cost is definitely not what we would consider reasonable. Naturally, the person selling this computer didn’t think so either.
Return From Whence You Came
“Begpacking” is a relatively new term in the urban dictionary: it refers to someone who travels to another country with no actual means of financially supporting themselves, and begs for other people to fund their traveling expenses.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Return From Whence You Came
We’re not sure where people get off being as entitled as all that. We imagine the locals in those countries are just as flabbergasted and shocked as anyone, if not more so. The things people come up with, seriously!
Skills Aren’t Free
Artists are some of the only people out there who have to deal with requests for free work on the regular. No one ever asks programmers, accountants, actors, or professions like that to ply their craft for free. Only artists.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Skills Aren’t Free
We’re not sure why so many people feel entitled to the time and skill of artists more than they do any other type of professional or craftsman, but that’s just the way it is, apparently. We feel bad on behalf of all the artists who need to make a pin like this one.
The List of Reasons
Customers have a tendency to ask why goods and services are so expensive. We don’t mind that question if they are generally interested in knowing where all the hard work is. However, most people just ask that to complain, not to actually understand the nature of their bill.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The List of Reasons
Lots of business owners probably get sick of it, which would lead to things like this. A nice, easy list of reasons that such customers can read on their own time, rather than asking the same question over and over.
More Than You
You can’t really get any more entitled than demanding that someone give you their things, for no other reason than “you deserve it” or “you need it more than them.” Seriously, imagine demanding a dog from someone. Like, the actual dog that they consider part of their family.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
More Than You
And your only logic is that they look fine and don’t need it as much as you do. That might be one of the most ridiculous things we’ve ever heard. Then again, we aren’t actually done with this list yet.
Exposure Is Worthless
When it comes to procuring art, a lot of people try to skip out on payment in favor of providing ‘exposure.’ Can you imagine if someone did that to you as a mechanic, or as a software designer? “I don’t need to pay you, by representing your work you get exposure, and that’s worth more!”
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Exposure is Worthless
Yeah, right. Exposure is all well and good, but it doesn’t pay the bills, and it doesn’t put food in bellies. Exposure is the side effect of putting work out into the world, not the primary benefit: that would be money.
How to Curb Entitlement
As we’ve proven already, a lot of people complain about the prices when they go to stores. But other than being sassy back to them, we haven’t really gone over the best way for a business to make people shut up about it. That would be this right here.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
How to Curb Entitlement
Well, we’re not actually sure if you could legally charge people for things outside of the product or service you are offering. But if customers are scared enough of the possibility, maybe they just won’t say anything about price.
Cook Yourself, Then
Frankly, we feel that no one has the right to complain about food that someone else makes for them. That kind of entitled behavior is pretty low. After all, if you have a certain standard you feel absolutely must be met, then make your own food.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Cook Yourself, Then
It’s kind of like the “beggars can’t be choosers” thing again. If you have to rely on someone else to fulfill a certain need then you just have to take what you can get. Complaining about it is unbecoming.
The Point of a Gesture
Many celebrities make some sort of kind gesture out of the kindness of their heart. Unfortunately, the entitled often misinterpret these gestures as an indication that they too should receive the same treatment. That is almost never the point.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Point of a Gesture
Thankfully, very few celebrities start throwing out gifts to anyone that will ask, just because they are upset that something nice was done for someone else. There are far too many entitled people in this world.
The Art of Business
Not everyone is business savvy. Then again, we’re not sure if this person is just uneducated, or they are so entitled they feel that this is alright. They want a car that has already been sold, and more importantly, they want the already sold car for less than the car was just sold for.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Art of Business
Imagine asking someone to go back and get something they have already sold so they can sell it to you for less than they already got. That’s either extremely stupid or extremely entitled, and we’re not sure which one would be worse.
Nice Try, Mark
Some people will go to almost any length to try and get a discount. Usually, those discounts are entirely undesired and unjustified. This guy seriously tried to get a whopping 90% discount on something, and his reasoning? His name was Sheldon, just like the seller.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Nice Try, Mark
Except, of course, his name actually wasn’t Sheldon at all. It was Mark. And you know, even if his name was Sheldon, did he really think that would be enough to earn him a 90% discount? That’s pretty entitled and utterly ridiculous.
The Time That Goes Into It
We know we’ve talked about artists a lot in this article already, but that’s because they have to deal with so many crazily entitled people. Artists often have to face the notion that their craft doesn’t require real skill or time.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Time That Goes Into It
No one ever considers the years of practice, failure, training, and sweat that go into being a good artist. And just like any other skill that requires years of practice and effort to master, they deserve to make good money doing what they do.
A Fair Point
There’s not a specific entitled person for us to mock here. Rather, it’s just an example of how many incredibly entitled people businesses have to deal with. You have to hear, “well I can get it cheaper somewhere else” dozens of times to justify a sign like this.

And besides, it’s a pretty good point: if you can find it cheaper somewhere else, then go to that somewhere else. If that would be too inconvenient for you, then just tell yourself you are paying for the convenience.
Good Luck on Your Own, Then
It’s always amusing to run into those people who supposedly need help, but then refuse the help they need based on some minor criteria. It’s also pretty offensive to imply that someone is too ugly to help you, which is what’s going on here.

Good Luck on Your Own, Then
Entitlement comes in many forms, but feeling entitled to help, and only help that matches your specific desires, is pretty ridiculous. Too bad people like this are far more common than the world really needs.
Free Is Free
Once again, we have to say that there’s a certain level of nonsense involved in demanding things that are free. If something is free, it’s either good enough to take, or you just don’t need it. If the free item doesn’t meet your requirements, just don’t take it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Free is Free
After all, free is free, and if you want an item to meet exact specifications, that’s when you get into the world of payment. You pay for things you need to be perfect, you don’t get them for free!
Give It for Free
Asking for handouts is a certain type of entitlement, provided you don’t actually need handouts in the first place. But there is an entirely different level out there, which is asking for people to give you stuff for free, while meeting very specific criteria.

Give It For Free
Like, who goes around making demands as if they were actually paying money? You don’t get to ask for a whole bunch of special features if you aren’t willing to pay anything at all!
Testing the Commitment
Online influencers often ask for free stuff from businesses, claiming that their ‘influence’ and ‘exposure’ are worth more than the price of the actual product. We’re not saying this is an impossibility, but many influencers don’t actually believe that themselves: they just want free stuff.

Testing the Commitment
If they do have confidence in the power of their reputation, then this offer we see here shouldn’t trouble them in any way. However, it seems that very few people actually take them up on that offer.
Entitled to Theft
Speaking of the entitled masses of the world, imagine feeling like you deserve to steal from people. Like, you complain about an artist who wants their work to be paid for, so they sue a piracy website that steals their stuff.

Entitled to Theft
And you, the entitled person, gets angry at the artist for wanting to get paid for what they do. It’s absolutely baffling to us that there are actually people like that out there in the world.
Cash nor Credit
For some reason, there are people who feel entitled to a better deal if they are willing to pay in cold hard cash. We’re not sure why having physical money on hand is supposed to change the price of an object, but some people believe it.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Cash nor Credit
Of course, the kind of discount this person is asking for based solely on physical cash goes far beyond mere entitlement. Frankly, it’s more along the lines of delusion, if anything.
All the Difference
Imagine being so entitled that a mere ten cents or so would get you to argue with someone. Ten cents! At that point, the time you are spending arguing is more valuable than the money you are arguing over!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
All the Difference
Besides, everyone knows that the majority of the price when you are buying a drink at a restaurant is the drink itself, not the cup. This just really doesn’t seem like something to get so bent out of shape over.
Very Clear Rules
It’s one thing to get upset when you are slighted or wronged by someone else. But getting upset about a situation when you agreed to it in the first place is the epitome of entitled and ridiculous. Like, they told you how much the rent was. Why are you surprised?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Very Clear Rules
If they tell you ahead of time how much you are going to have to spend, you can’t really get upset when they ask you to pay up. You were warned, why did you agree to it if you couldn’t afford it!
What’s Yours Is Mine
Some people have family and friends that feel entitled to their resources or benefits. There’s always this weird argument about ‘treating your family right’ but for some reason, it never goes both ways.

What’s Yours is Mine
We all know that, if you helped out the person in this text exchange, they would definitely not help you back at some time down the line. Those who demand what you have for silly reasons are hardly going to help you for good ones.
Pay to Work
We don’t know if we should call this person entitled or just completely insane. Imagine if someone wanted you to pay to do your job! Like, they want you to pay them to take pictures of them, as a photographer. That is not how a profession works!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Pay to Work
It’s just crazy to think someone in this world would ask a professional to pay them for the professional to do their job. Just… utterly flabbergasting.
Find Someone Else
If you really love someone, you may want to marry them. But if that person you love would react this way to a proposal, you may want to consider loving someone else. We’re just saying, if this is how they’d react to something like this, you know there’s more down the line.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Find Someone Else
We hope that her comment section was full of people condemning her behavior, though we have no doubt there were plenty of people supporting her nonsense as well.
Assuming Advantage
You can’t get much more entitled than just assuming other people are going to cover expenses for you. Just because someone invites you to go eat with them, that doesn’t mean they are actually offering to pay for you. Just assuming they will is rude.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Assuming Advantage
Even worse is feeling like you can order more expensive things just because someone else is paying for you. That’s even more obscenely rude!
Free of Responsibility
Expecting things for free is already entitled. Expecting an extremely large amount of things for free is even more entitled. And then, there’s expecting all of that, and also expecting it to be delivered to you. A whole new level, as it were.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Free of Responsibility
It’s also worth noting that, if you have this little responsibility, you are definitely not the type of person that needs a pet, regardless of what kind of pet it is.
The Entitled Ultimatum
Getting gifts is something that other people do for you because they are happy for you or are just feeling generous. It’s not something you are supposed to demand, and you certainly aren’t supposed to demand presents in a certain price range.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Entitled Ultimatum
That just makes you a huge jerk, not to mention an incredibly entitled jerk at that. Needless to say, we wouldn’t feel obligated to attend any event with stipulations like this.
Not Hungry Enough
If you ever have trouble distinguishing someone who actually needs help from one who doesn’t, this trick always works. Don’t offer them money, offer them something they would reasonably need if they were really in trouble, like food or clothing.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Not Hungry Enough
If they refuse the offer of free necessities and demand money instead, it’s probably fair to assume they are going to use that money for something unnecessary. Of course, if they are wearing Beats, then yeah, that might also be a giveaway.
Bad at Math
We’re not actually sure if this person is entitled or if they are just really bad at math. Maybe a little of both. Needless to say, expecting this amount of work and commitment for such a ridiculously low amount of pay is outright delusional.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Bad at Math
Maybe they really can’t afford to pay anything more than that, but if such is the case, they’re going to have to find a different way to take care of the problem.
Then Go to the Store
Do you need a certain item? Are you upset that a free offering doesn’t include that item? Have you ever heard of the store? Seriously, if there’s a free offering out and about, there’s no reason to complain about it because it doesn’t have everything!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Then Go to the Store
Seriously, only the most entitled people in the world complain about things they can get for free. It’s just an incredibly ridiculous and asinine thing to do, and anyone should be judged for it.
Beggars Can Be Choosers
What is there to say about this image? It speaks for itself. That said, we’re not implying that the homeless can’t possess electronics of any sort, but the fact that he’s walking around with a card reader does seem a little suspicious, no?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Beggars Can Be Choosers
One way or another, it seems odd for a beggar to demand a certain type of payment. If they are really in need, then any sort of money, in any form, would be accepted, would it not?
The Flow of Logic
We’ve seen a lot of people make silly arguments as to why they should get a discount. But frankly, we’re not sure if we’ve ever seen one as ridiculous as this. Because you were late to something, you deserve a discount on an item you were interested in? What?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
The Flow of Logic
Honestly, demanding discounts is a good way to ensure that you don’t get the item at all, as a lot of sellers will just refuse to provide you with anything if you are this unreasonable.
Partial Pro Bono
This is another one of those scenarios where someone is offered something for free, and they have the gall to demand extra things for free. Imagine someone offering to pay for your groceries, and instead of being grateful, you ask for them to pay for even more things!
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Partial Pro Bono
Needless to say, we wouldn’t be willing to pay for any of their groceries after something like that. Maybe they would learn a lesson about gratitude, but we highly doubt it.
Worth Your Time
Speaking of people feeling entitled to more free things than they are already getting, we have this person. There is already a free item up for grabs, and they ask for more free stuff to make it ‘worth their while?’ It’s free! How much more value do you need?
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Worth Your Time
Some people just can’t be pleased or satisfied, no matter how far things are skewed in their favor. This is just one of those people, who can’t be happy with what they have available already.
Accepting Donations
And here, we have another example of someone who will not only ask for free things to meet their needs, but they will ask for extremely specific free things because ordinary free things aren’t enough for them. They’ll take free stuff, but only the free stuff they want. Entitled at its finest.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Accepting Donations
We’re definitely of the mind that this person should consider a job, which would allow them to get all the things they want without having to rely on other people. But that would be work, wouldn’t it?
Suit Yourself
Beggars can’t be choosers, except when they choose to be. If you are really in need of help, you can’t feel entitled to handouts of a certain size. Never mind feeling entitled to rejecting money that you feel is too small.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Suit Yourself
And hey, is there any reason to throw the money back? Even if you are unhappy with the amount, there’s no need to throw it back at the car. Just pocket it and be upset on your own time.
Aren’t We All?
This is another example of someone who either extremely entitled or extremely delusional. Of course, we agree that such a job as this would be absolutely heavenly, but we also know that it doesn’t exist.

Aren’t We All?
This is a whole lot to ask for, considering that it’s the perfect job almost anyone in the world would love to have. Some people just don’t realize how crazy the things they want are.
Unequivalent Exchange
We’re not going to get into whether or not someone should feel entitled to a present under any circumstances, but we will say this: if you are expecting a gift from someone for a special occasion, you’re obligated to invite them to that special occasion.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Unequivalent Exchange
You’re not going to tell someone they aren’t invited to your birthday, but still expect them to give you a birthday present, right? Well, most sane people wouldn’t do that, but unfortunately, the world is full of people that aren’t sane.
Asking for a Freebie
Asking your friends for favors is fine. But it’s all about how you go about asking those favors. More importantly, it’s about how entitled you are in requesting those favors. For instance, asking someone to order pizza and have it delivered to your work. That’s fine.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

Asking for a Freebie
But expecting your buddy to just buy you a pizza out of the blue and have it delivered to your workplace? Not even telling them you expect them to pay, just assuming that they will? Talk about entitled to the extreme.
The Demanding Community
Sometimes, it’s not just a single person that is entitled. Sometimes, it can be an entire community of people that are extremely entitled. This neighborhood felt entitled to a pool that was owned by one group of homeowners.
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........

The Demanding Community
Like, they didn’t even ask permission or anything, they just assumed that they were all welcome at the pool because it happened to be in the neighborhood. And then, they had the gall to expect babysitting along the way! Crazy!
Were It So Easy
This seems to happen to artists more than anyone else. Customers come in, questioning why prices are what they are, and generally saying things like “this isn’t that hard, why is it so expensive?”
......... ADVERTISEMENT .........
..8..
Were It So Easy
Needless to say, the only right answer to that is this: “if it’s so easy, why don’t you do it yourself?” When they realize that it really isn’t as easy as it looks, maybe then they can acknowledge that the price isn’t that farfetched.
Minimum Panhandling Requirement
There’s a common saying: beggars can’t be choosers. Well at least, real beggars can’t be choosers. There are some people out there that ask for handouts but don’t actually need them, and thus they have the gall to refuse handouts they don’t feel are good enough for them.

Minimum Panhandling Requirement
This guy is one such fellow, and he’s definitely someone that counts as a rat. He makes the people who actually rely on the generosity of others look bad.
