Anyone here have any stories dealing with someone who was acting very entitled?

Sadly I have to admit to doing so far too much (acting privileged/entitled). Hence having to keep myself away from society.

Having worked primarily in a profession where my core customer base was middle-aged "wine aunts", I have experienced biblical levels of solipsistic, rage-infused entitlement, most often revolving around attempts at "negotiating" the price of alcohol (illegal), or trivial service-related errors during group gatherings.

Alternatively, many of these same women, once sufficiently humored and inebriated, were some of the most generous and amusing people I have ever met, though this was generally offset by the inevitability of being at least mildly sexually harrassed by most of them.

I was on the bus and it was packed to the front. I was waiting with my boyfriend and two seats opened up right near us. I sat in one and a woman sat in the other. The WHOLE TIME we were on the bus these 40-50 year old adults were complaining that I took the seat, indirectly. They said it "reminded them of the bronx" lmao. We were in one of the nicest parts of the city and I SAT IN A BUS SEAT.

The woman was scooting near me the whole time too to make me uncomfortable. Like ok, welcome to the city, thighs end up touching on the bus. I once was backed into the window seat by a 400 lb guy, I can deal with a little thigh touching from a weird woman.

I should have said something but I have too much social anxiety. My boyfriend also got touched on the bus, a man as mad that he was in the way and poked his sides like a pervert.
