The phrase "Beggars cannot be choosers" is well known but it appears to be incorrect in some cases. When strangers kindly assist some people with their daily struggles, they decide to demand more rather than express their sincere gratitude.

Unfortunately, not everyone understands the significance of this phrase, and some conceited people are already causing chaos on Facebook Marketplace, Instagram Direct Messages, and other online spaces by requesting free artwork, subsidized services, and other absurd demands.

The Choosing Beggars subreddit showcases a range of scenarios, from persons genuinely pleading for cash or services to those requesting preferential treatment from artists who earn a living via their works. Moreover, a few of these stories are just outrageous.

It's absurd how entitled certain individuals can be, but regrettably, this is not unusual. You may be asking yourself how on earth so many entitled people can live and demand anything they want for little to nothing.

These people don't seem to comprehend how the world functions. It seems that they may just think that the rules are unjust, but is that really the real reason?

With more than 2 million users, new postings are virtually always made on the Choosing Beggars subreddit, and we have one for you today. Keep scrolling and check it out below.

To prevent the group from spiraling out of control, the moderators do, however, define what constitutes a “choosy beggar." The guidelines specify that users must "have unreasonable standards or have a comical sense of entitlement" in order to be eligible for a post on the website.

We wish that it were harder to discover people who were like that, but the page unmistakably shows that interactions with picky beggars happen frequently.

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to say

Problem partially solved

She's living off other people's money

They work in the service industry

A system designed for people with serious mental health issues

The OP reveals more in the comments section

I can't post all of her statuses, but basically, she wants people to fix her shit for her. She has had so many jobs and quits all of them because she doesn't feel like going in, she tried therapy but quit because medications weren't solving all her problems. She does need help but doesn't want to help herself

It sounds strange to this Redditor

Someone should figure this out

How her life will be way easier

The BF should get a job

She's in a bad spot right now

It's a common belief that those who are beggars cannot be choosers. The adage has a lot of truth and is worth repeating, regardless of whether your mother said it to you when she offered you a cookie—just not the kind you wanted!—or you had to use it to cope with a demanding houseguest who had abused your hospitality.

It's obvious that many beggars attempt to be picky even if they aren't supposed to be. Let us know in the comments if you have ever dealt with an entitled person who expects too much of you.
