I know a girl named Lindsey. Lindsey is a fairly friendly person, but there's something about her that bugs me to no end. Lindsey is a self-entitled monster who expects everything to go perfectly for her and if it doesn't, she blames others for her failures. Some examples/history:
- When Lindsey was in Grade Nine, she got a 92% on an English essay. Her mom scheduled a meeting with the teacher and when she was done, Lindsey's grade was raised to a 95%. Easy to see how Lindsey's self-entitlement began.
- When Lindsey was a freshman in college, she discovered she was scheduled to have two final exams on the same day. Horrified, she begged her teacher to move one of the exams, and since then has continued to do so, refusing to take two exams in one day even though everyone else does.
- For her term paper in an upper-level history class, Lindsey had her professor give her not only her research topic, but also her bibliography. No one else received such help. When I asked her why she didn't do everything herself, she replied, "How am I supposed to find books if no one gives me them?" I told her I found all my books myself, and she was shocked. Lindsey ended up getting an A- on her paper, and upon discovering her grade, shouted, "Why didn't I get an A? He should have given me an A! I'm so mad. He should give me As."
I have countless other examples of Lindsey being a self-entitled monster, but I won't bore you with those. Essentially, this is a person who expects everything to go perfectly for her and if it doesn't, it's unacceptable. I really hope there are not more people like this out there.
