Re: How Often Do You See A Sense Of "Entitlement In Today"s Society?

I retired last December but prior to that worked full time and had to drive 70 miles daily on a major six lane highway (3 lanes each North & South).  In the last couple of years of my commuting the "new" thing was people driving on the shoulders to pass three lanes of traffic and then just cutting folks off in the right lane to get back in.  It scared the hell out of me.  I guess these very "special" people were the only ones going to work while the rest of us were obviously headed to Jones Beach at rush hour.  "Entitled" beyond all points of reason.

If you mean face to face my answer is I don't see it any more often than in the past.

Jmo but I think it's part of the urban myth that people today are inferior to people in the past. Part of the "good ol days" urban mythology.  Anonymous internet is another matter though.

I wouldn't call your story an example of entitlement. However, consumer research for decades has shown that there is a sense of entitlement, which shows up in the form of people spending more than they should or something because they think they are entitled to have it. People with a lower income feel entitled to have something that people of a higher income have. Never mind the budget or the consequences.

I must have a different interpretation, if you don't mind, could you say what you see here as a sense of entitlement.  I haven't seen anyone expect anything from anyone.
