These 55 people think they should get things for free, feel entitled to people’s time and energy, and are just generally clueless when it comes to social norms. ![]() The subreddit “Choosing Beggars” (or r/ChoosingBeggars) is dedicated to “posting screenshots, pictures, or stories of people who are being way too picky when it comes to who they beg for a relationship or any other matter” and it is full of examples of behavior that will blow your mind.
