Generally, random encounters with members of the public can range from fun to absolutely terrible. But everyone has at least one story of meeting a stranger who for some reason, operates under some delusional set of rules and concepts. One way or another, as time passes, weird, entitled people simply do not disappear.
A man shared his bizarre and somewhat disconcerting experience with an entitled woman that was hell-bent on taking his Oreos. We got in touch with the person who shared the story and they were kind enough to share some more details with us.

Unfortunately, we will probably never know what was going on in her head
Bored Panda got in touch with the man in the story and he was kind enough to share some more thoughts on the entire situation. Naturally, we wanted to know if there was any follow-up, but unfortunately not. “No updates I never did figure out what happened to her. I did talk to the security guard but he did not tell me anything.”
We were also curious to hear his opinion on her motivations. After all, there are people delusional enough to really think that something is theirs, while, more pragmatically, this woman could have simply been a thief with a bad plan. “She definitely was trying to steal them and making an excuse. I don't know what she was thinking and it wasn’t like I took the last package,” he shared.
Unfortunately, entitled people are at their worst when they put us in situations where you can’t exactly escape easily. Cornering someone in a parking lot is one “good” example, but being stuck on a flight or family gathering is another “classic” case.

We were curious as to why this woman thought she could steal the Oreos
So we also wanted to hear his thoughts on what might be the root cause of entitlement in general and he had a possibly spicy take. “The reason people are so entitled, honestly, is that the generation we are living in today everybody expects handouts. This is not the way I was raised.“
We asked him what the age of the woman in the story was and he suggested she was in her “20s maybe. My parents taught me to work for everything I have. I also know that not how most people are raised 4 I know this sounds like a made up story but it really did happen and if I read it I probably would have thought that same thing but on the other hand I’ve experienced extreme entitlement worse then what happened to me that day.”

There are way too many stories of entitled folks out there
This isn’t the only example of a bizarrely entitled encounter this man has had, so we asked them to share other experiences as well. “Many a lot of the stories are one I have put on Reddit if you want to read them like the lady that wanted me to cut potatoes at work after we ran out of season potatoes the lady that threw a burger at me for accidentally giving her a coke instead of a sweet tea the lady that accused me stealing 17 cents and more!”
Unfortunately, it’s not just this man’s experiences, the internet is littered with tales of folks being rude or unjustifiably demanding. Sometimes even in similar circumstances! While getting some degree of revenge is probably the best course of action, at least shaming online is a close second.
