Everybody is familiar with the embodiment of entitlement: The Karen. This name usually refers to somebody who makes entitled demands. You can usually find them fighting managers at restaurants. Sometimes, they’ll cut lines. The truth is that entitlement is not just for stuck-up women named Karen at restaurants. People who are annoyingly entitled exist everywhere.

Fortunately, it is possible to overcome entitlement. First, you must recognize your behavior. This is exactly what these internet users do. Here, they expose 52 instances of entitlement:
