Stop allowing these people into your home, period, as for the young people taking your trash out. Have it bagged and ready, by the door, when they ring your doorbell, open the door, hand them the garbage, give them whatever you pay them, and firmly close the door. No more letting them in to "case the joint". People, whether they be teens or adults, can spot a mark. Stop being the mark.

@We rescue cats  This is not the world everyone lives in today. I have never heard of such a thing as the OP has described. Not that we have a lot of company but we are in our seventies and have normal friends and company.

Re: Notice Increase in Chutzpah? - or - Entitlement?

Yes, ENTITLEMENT or NARCISSISTIC behavior. 

Definitely.

The United States has become a country of self indulgence.

Feed Me, Love Me, Look At Me.

 

It's pathetic. It's in my opinion a mental malady.

Want Want Want.

Gotta Have

They touch they feel they flaunt.

 

Look at Facebook.

Look at Instagram

Pictures of themselves ALL day long.

I ask myself....WHO THE HECK CARES???? 😂 

 

I'm 65, a totally different generation. I could care less what society believes.

I follow Faith. God above. I'm here from HIS creation, I'm here to live love serve but pleasing self is not beneficial. It's indulgent. It's dead. Changing and making a difference

In the darkness surrounding us doesn't mean walking around on a plateau of self gratification.

 

I agree.

I agree wholeheartedly and the trajectory of our culture is on a downward spiral to crash

Because of this.

 

The Roman Empire. Decadence and indulgence. BOOM!

Re: Notice Increase in Chutzpah? - or - Entitlement?

The OP, if I recall, resides in an assisted living.  If I am wrong, I stand corrected.  If this is the case, she needs to report this type of activity to the proper people.  

 

Wig boxes in the kitchen?  I agree with @Snicks1 .  You are asking for trouble if you let people that you don't know well into your living area to freely walk around.

 

This is a strange post to say the least.

Fear not Brothers and Sisters! I have read THE BOOK..........we win!!!

@tends2dogs, well, this just gets more weird by the moment. The Op lives in assisted living and has to pay someone to take out the trash? Ok then, I have now stopped believing any of this nonsense. I had my doubts anyway, but this kicks it up a notch, lol.

Equating this "event" to the Fall of the Roman Empire is really cracking me up!  Thanks for the huge laughs.

@JoyFilled Warrior   No one comes into my home who arent close family or friends for many yeras. I'm flattered if they find something they'd like to see closer which does require touching. 

 

I taught my Grandchildren "hands off unless you ask for help" when they were toddlers and they still respect that.

 

If there are items that are near and dear to your heart and people come to your house that tend to handle your things, put them away. I think it's rude to tell people while there to keep hands off.

Re: Notice Increase in Chutzpah? - or - Entitlement?

I have friends over frequently. I enjoy company. Never ever have I  had anyone pick up objects and "Manhandle" anything in my home. A child might but not adults. And I have certainly never had anyone pick up something and act like they wanted to take it. 

Now if my children or my granddaughter happen pick something up I don't care. I have always lived by the motto people first things second. Heck at this time in my life I would gladly give them most anything in my home. Problem is they rarely want anything.
