Disasters like the COVID-19 outbreak are supposed to bring people together, and highlight generosity and community. Unfortunately, recent events have not only highlighted people who get greedy in the face of a pandemic, but also people who just think they deserve the world. These choosy beggars should feel ashamed of themselves. But let's be real, they probably don't.
choosy beggars
The self-importance of influencers seems to have no end. Some influencers demand free hotel stays, others are more into free wedding photography, but one thing's for sure: they're incredibly entitled and suffer from serious delusions of grandeur. Today we got an extra large taste of this abhorrent attitude in the form of an r/AskReddit thread. U/peaches1687 asked the subreddit's photographers to share the most outrageous requests they've received from influencers. They (and people in other career sectors) were happy to oblige.
We've seen a lot of entitled bridezillas embarrass themselves on and off the internet, but this diva really takes the cake. In a facebook post, which was shared to r/choosingbeggars, the bride thanks her family and friends for over $30k in "donations" and announces that she and her fiance are cancelling their wedding with vague plans to reschedule. She's so ballsy that she straight up tells her loved ones that their generosity will be used for a honeymoon - before the two have even tied the knot. The post, as one can imagine, did not go over well with her would-be guests. If you think her announcement of the cancellation was painful, just wait until you see her defensive replies to offended and outraged family and friends.
In the age of GoFundMe, people are becoming super entitled and super shameless when they ask for help of any kind. These "needy" individuals are some of the worst offenders we've seen yet. We really hope these choosy beggars take a long and hard in the mirror, but we're not holding our breath for that kind of decency.
