greedy

There's a famous proverb that claims 'beggars can't be choosers.' Well apparently there are plenty of delusional jerks out there who don't see it that way. You know the type—the 'startup' company looking for free labor from PhD graduates. The entitled Karen who curses you for declining to deliver a free couch across state lines. The neighbor who thinks paying someone to mow their lawn is basically 'free money.' These audacious displays of greed and entitlement are bad enough on a normal day, but demanding free labor in this economy is especially infuriating. 

We've collected some truly maddening posts and messages that were immortalized on r/ChoosingBeggars. Sometimes it feels good to groan in solidarity. 

If you're a human, chances are you've had to interact with an entitled jerk at some point in your life—the sort of person who expects free goods and services for no reason, or someone who complains when a favor from a friend didn't meet their insane expectations. No Karen, I will not also cook and deliver the free Thanksgiving turkey I offered you. Jeez. 

r/ChoosingBeggars is brimming with examples of people who exposed their own ungratefulness and greed, and it's a great place to lurk if you're in the mood to get pissed off at total strangers. Here are twenty-seven eye-roll worthy examples of choosy beggars. 

If you haven't noticed, we're living in some sort of dystopian hell reality right now. People are literally dying of a pandemic, the country is collapsing, and practically everyone is out of work. No one knows what the hell is going to come of any of this so we're all just doing our best to survive. In the mean time, have some memes that poke fun at our corporate overlords!

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.

Whether you like to partake in the madness of Black Friday or not, these memes will definitely amuse you.
