41 Wildly Entitled Demands I Can't Believe People Made
The audacity of asking someone to sell their house to you when it's not even on the market...
If you can't read the above, here's what it says:Dear Homeowner,I hope this note finds you well. My family and I pass by your home often, and every time we do, we admire it more. It's exactly what we've been searching for over the past two years, from the curb appeal to that amazing yard, it truly feels like the one we've been hoping for.Obviously, we haven't seen the inside, but from everything we can see on the outside — the way the home sits on the lot, the size, the yard — it seems like a perfect fit for our growing family. It's rare that a place just feels right even from the outside, but your home really does.The market is a little wild right now, but we're highly motivated. We have a 16-month-old and another baby arriving in just two short months, so we're eager to move on from the townhouse we've outgrown. More than anything, we dream of a space where our two dogs, who've spent their whole 8 years in townhouses and condos, can finally run and play freely. They've been so patient with us through the years and they deserve a yard like yours.We do have a realtor and are fully prepared to move quickly if you've ever thought about selling — now or even in the near future. No pressure at all; we just didn't want to miss the chance to reach out personally, as your home truly feels like the perfect next chapter for our family.Hoping to hear from you.
Yeah, no, no one wants to "participate" in this way.
I think this person should skip Christmas dinner, because they'll probably find a way to make it about them.
What in the world? Does she expect anyone to actually do this?
'Cause so many people just have extra cars lying around...
"Can someone give me a car, no questions asked." I'm gonna guess no.
I honestly think this ad is sort of hilarious and also wish someone would let me stay in their luxury flat for free, but it's still a wild request.
If you can't read the above, it says:Flat/House without a purpose? Let me give it one. Because abandoned luxury is just… sad.Hey Rich Stranger, did you buy an expensive Navi Mumbai flat only to let it rot in silence?? Do you pop up in once a year, claim the dust, then disappear?? Why not lend your flat a soul (me) instead (for free obviously)??Here's the Deal:I'll live in your beautiful, empty, lonely flat:I'll keep it clean and safe.I'll live like a ghost — no noise, no parties, just productivity.I'll pay for water and electricity.You can kick me out with 2 days' notice…I vanish like I was never here.Why This Makes Sense (For You):Not a legal tenant (Say I am a relative if Housing Society asks) = No tenant headaches.No rent = No rent disputes.No lies = No guilt (you're already rich).Flat stays alive and aired, not stale and haunted.About Me:A chill, tidy developer who works long hours.I don't smoke, don't party, don't bring guests.Think of me as a digital monk with a mop.Interested in Peace of Mind? DM or Comment Below. Let's give your flat a second chance at life.Bonus: If your flat has a "reputation" (like a mysterious death/suicide), I'll move in first so you can confidently say, "See? Someone already lived there!" Call it a Vastu Reboot Service™
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess they didn't find any takers.
I doubt this person found any takers, either.
This is straight-up evil. You can read through the messages asking for the items back if you want to get even angrier — they're pretty bad.
I don't think you can learn how to build a porch and living room in a weekend with just some spare wood??? Sounds like they just want someone to build it for free.
Asking for a roommate who will pay full rent but has to go stay somewhere else every weekend is WILD.
This has got to be a joke.
This is either a joke or a 10-year-old, but still.
If you can't read the above, it says: Can I get the game for free? I'm a pretty big YouTuber (200 subs) and was wondering if I could get this game for free, or u can pay me for a good review. I'll give it a bad one if not. I do not appreciate my patience being tested."
Crowdfunding to adopt a cat is wild behavior. If you can't afford the $200 adoption fee, how the hell are you going to be able to afford food, litter, and vet visits?
Again — you should not be getting a pet if you can't afford to take care of them!
Imagine thinking your neighbor would actually listen to this dumb request.
Or this one.
If you can't read the above, it says (with typos corrected):Dear [REDACTED],It has come to our attention to our residents of [REDACTED] that the potted plants outside of your porch are not real and are decorations. This will reflect extremely poorly on our houses and other constituents in the area who have real plants, who might wish to sell their homes one day, and buyers running away when they see your plants. Earlier this week, myself and 14 other neighbors (including the state environment official) held a group meeting to discuss the appropriate action necessary to solve this issue.As of this writing, we have decided to grant you 2 days to remove the selected plants from your porch. IF you choose not to correspond, there might be an official action taken that will include the police being called to write a lawsuit, or the flowers being removed and discarded quite immediately. You must [comply] within 2 days minimum.Note: We have chosen to make this letter anonymous to protect our legal rights and to grant you the same legal opportunities.Thank you.
How in the world did this customer expect this to be on sale?
Life tip: Please never, ever do any work for free. It makes people think *this* is okay.
"Why didn't you just offer to pay for my shop rent?" Why don't you appreciate the (already wildly generous) offer you did get?
You don't get a new free drink if your cat knocks yours over. That's not a thing.
This isn't renting. This is cat-sitting, and you have to pay for it, not expect the cat-sitter to pay. (Also...I wonder why they've gone through over 100 roommates?)
Repeat after me, kids: this is called taking advantage.
I'm not gonna rag on people for needing food, but asking for an ENTIRE Easter dinner is excessive. Tell your family no, or have them bring stuff!
I also sympathize with anyone struggling to afford essentials, but these people lost me at wanting a $1500 car. And since when are "fluffy heels" and a tablet essentials?
This person wanted someone to pay $100 to clean their yard. Read that again — no, they're not paying that person $100. The cleaner is paying the homeowner.
This isn't medieval times. Wood is not payment.
$150??? FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER???
It's not just brides and grooms with the entitled wedding-related requests.
Why would this person ask how much something costs then be surprised when it actually costs money?
I'd LOVE to hear what "famous people" this magazine has writing for them.
This person sounds insufferable even without the request to live somewhere for free. And then they had the audacity to list rules?
I get that the job market is tough right now, but demanding a job isn't going to do you any favors. Especially when you do it like this.
I've actually seen this multiple times, and it always shocks me. Why would anyone change their Instagram name so you can use it???
Boarding early doesn't entitle you to whatever seat you want.
Influencer culture is out of control. Though I don't know if I can call this person an influencer.
This person has clearly never been to a potluck or picnic party before.
My first impression of this person is that they're an entitled asshole.
Maybe you shouldn't post on AITA if you think the person you're posting about might see it?
And finally, I have to end on the wildest request I've seen.

Watch: Auto worker's lost wallet found under hood 11 years later
Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A mechanic working on a 2015 Ford Edge brought into his Minnesota shop made a startling discovery under the hood: a wallet that had been lost by a Michigan Ford plant worker 11 years earlier. Richard Guilford, who is now retired, said he remembers the day he lost his wallet while working on vehicles that had been shipped to the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne after coming off the assembly line in Chicago with electrical issues. "I never wore sweatpants to work, but I did that day," he told KARE-TV. "And I had my wallet in my shirt pocket." Guilford and his team searched for the missing wallet, but there were 2,000 vehicles on the floor and they eventually had to give up. He said the wallet contained his driver's license, his Ford Motor Co. ID, $15 in cash and $250 worth of Cabela's sporting goods gift cards he had intended to use to buy Christmas presents for his kids. The wallet's final fate remained a mystery for 11 years, until Chad Volk, owner of LC Car Care in Crystal Lake, Minn., was working on a 2015 Ford Edge brought in to have its cooling fans replaced. Volk said he was attempting to put the air box back into place under the hood, but it wouldn't fit right. He removed it again and found Guilford's leather wallet sitting on top of the transmission. "I was surprised. You find stuff all the time, usually tools," Volk told the Detroit Free Press. "I looked through it and I see a Ford Motor Co. badge. I thought, 'I'm going to try finding this guy to see if I can get it back to him.'" Volk was quickly able to find and contact Guilford on Facebook, and the wallet was in the mail the next day. Volk said the Edge had about 150,000 miles on it when it came to his shop. "It's well-traveled currency," Guilford joked of the $15 cash, which was still safe inside the wallet, along with the rest of its contents. Guilford said Cabela's has agreed to issue him new gift cards, so he can keep his preserved wallet intact as a keepsake. "Some things in it were hot and crisp, think of how hot that car got," Guilford said. "It doesn't look like it ever got wet, just hot. That little corner kept [the wallet] completely dry and completely preserved. I want the wallet to stay as it is. It is a memento."

F1 Summer Shutdown: Why Teams Can't Touch Their Cars
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Following the Hungarian Grand Prix, Formula One heads into the summer break for the next three weeks, until August 29, marking the first long break for drivers and teams since the Christmas break after the 2024 season. However, for two weeks out of the three, none of the teams can work on their cars. Given the hectic 24-race calendar that sees drivers and teams operating at their limit, F1's governing body, the FIA, has set a two-week summer shutdown period for all teams where they are not permitted to develop their car, design car parts, use the wind tunnel, or conduct meetings. F1 teams are free to choose any 14-day window in the entire summer break, but they must confirm the start and end dates to the FIA. The mandate has been put in place by the governing body to allow team members of all ranks to take time off. As a result, teams found violating the rule are liable to receive a penalty. However, teams are allowed to support other projects that are not connected to F1. In addition, they are also allowed to work on heavily damaged cars that were damaged in the race before the shutdown, but only after written permission has been obtained from the FIA. Formula One drivers line up on the pit lane before the start of the first practice session of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Spa, on July 25, 2025. Formula One drivers line up on the pit lane before the start of the first practice session of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Spa, on July 25, 2025. Dimitar DILKOFF / AFP/Getty Images It must be noted that apart from drivers, team principals, mechanics, and engineers, other departments such as marketing, finance, legal, and housekeeping are allowed to function normally. F1 heads into a much-needed break after 14 rounds, with the eventful Hungarian Grand Prix confirming that the final championship battle will more than likely be between McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. While the latter leads the Drivers' Standings with 284 points, Norris is placed second with a gap of just 9 points. Norris maintained a strong lead in the second half of the race at the Hungaroring after Piastri and Charles Leclerc pitted. McLaren's flawless one-stop strategy worked in his favor, despite Piastri's aggressive charge in the last four laps on fresher tires. Speaking after securing his fifth victory of the season, Norris said: "I'm dead. I'm dead. It was tough. We weren't really planning on the one-stop, but after the first lap, it was kind of our only option to get back into things. "The final stint with Oscar catching, I was pushing flat out. Rewarding even more because of that. The perfect result today. "I didn't think it would get us the win, I thought it would get us maybe into second. I knew if I had clean air and could push, I could maybe make things work, and that's what we did. "It always is a bit of a gamble these kind of things. It also requires no mistakes, good laps, good strategy, and that's what we had today." He added: "We're so tightly fought it's hard to say if momentum is on anyone's side. "It's tough but fun racing against Oscar. Credit to Oscar he put up a good charge and I just about held on."

The Risk We Normalize: How Everyday Distraction Drives Crashes, Costs and Claims
Distracted driving has become so widespread across American roads that it no longer registers as shocking behavior, it's simply routine. Yet behind this normalization lies a troubling trend. A new study from Gruber Law reveals just how entrenched distraction has become, and how insurers, policymakers, and personal injury attorneys are now racing to mitigate its far-reaching impact. According to recent national data, 3,308 people died as a result of distracted driving in 2022. This is more than a tragic uptick, it marks a 20 percent increase since 2020, a steep climb that parallels skyrocketing phone use and screen interactions behind the wheel. Cambridge Mobile Telemetrics reports that phone motion has jumped 21 percent and screen time by 23 percent. These subtle habits have led to 420,000 additional crashes and over $10 billion in economic damages. The financial toll is staggering, but the human cost is harder to quantify. Every 10 percent rise in distracted driving contributes to 420 preventable deaths and an additional $4 billion in losses. Even one moment of distraction, whether prompted by a text or touch-screen map, can irreversibly alter lives. And as this behavior becomes more normalized, public perception begins to soften in dangerous ways. State-by-state data underscores the reach of this issue. Phone interaction now occurs on 58 percent of trips nationwide. Florida, Texas, California, and Georgia top the list of states with the highest distracted driving rates, with similar rankings appearing in pedestrian and cyclist fatalities. In 2021, pedestrian deaths hit a four-decade high with 7,485 lives lost, many due to distraction-induced collisions. While distracted driving affects all demographics, younger motorists appear most vulnerable. Drivers aged 16 to 24 are more likely to use handheld devices, with teen drivers showing the highest distraction rates in fatal crashes. Nearly four in ten high school students admit to texting or emailing behind the wheel within a 30-day period. Female drivers are also statistically more likely to use handheld phones, contributing to a growing segment of distraction-related incidents. The issue intensifies during holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas have proven to be peak times for phone use while driving. Weekday commutes also reveal higher rates of phone motion, often accompanied by multitasking routines like music control, grooming, or reaching for objects. Researchers compiled the ten most frequent distractions observed in recent collisions: Texting and emailing Phone calls Social media usage GPS interaction Eating or drinking Talking with passengers Adjusting audio settings Personal grooming Reaching for items Daydreaming or zoning out While the behaviors vary, the consequences often look the same: crashes, injuries, lawsuits, and insurance hikes. Legal responses have gained traction, with hands-free legislation showing measurable results. States with active laws saw phone motion drop by 13 percent within months of enactment. Michigan, for example, experienced a 12.8 percent reduction in distraction-related crashes following its 2023 policy change. By early 2025, 30 states are expected to have handheld bans in place. Still, enforcement and public education remain inconsistent. A CMT survey revealed that 40 percent of drivers in states with bans either misunderstood or weren't aware of their own laws. In states without bans, over half of respondents mistakenly believed such laws were in effect. This disconnect presents a challenge for lawmakers and advocates hoping to build broader awareness. Insurers are also adapting. Telematics technology allows providers to reward focused driving and penalize high-risk behavior. Early data shows a 25 percent reduction in distraction among drivers who opt in to usage-based insurance models. But distracted driving convictions remain costly, often leading to premium hikes or policy cancellation. Several organizations have stepped in to educate the public. The Kiefer Foundation, and regional competitions like Boston's Safest Driver offer community-based solutions to combat distraction. These campaigns aim to reframe driving habits, pushing back against the normalization of screen time behind the wheel. The study from Gruber Law sheds light on a growing legal frontier. As personal injury claims tied to distracted driving increase, attorneys are helping victims navigate an increasingly complex landscape. Insurance carriers, state legislatures, and advocacy groups are all responding, but whether those efforts will curb the cultural acceptance of distraction remains uncertain. What is clear is this: driving habits in the digital age must evolve. The cost of staying connected while on the road is now measured in lives, claims, and rising premiums. And unless focus is restored, distracted driving will remain one of the most overlooked safety crises of the modern era. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
