If you’ve ever tried selling anything online, you’ve probably encountered a choosing beggar or two. You know the type—those folks who act like you owe them the moon and the stars, but they’re not willing to pay a dime for it. The worst part is how oblivious they are to just how entitled they sound. It’s like they genuinely believe they’re doing you a favor by taking something off your hands for free.
These people take entitlement to a whole new level, and while it’s frustrating in the moment, it’s pretty entertaining in hindsight. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these tales of absurdly picky freeloaders who just can’t seem to grasp the concept of “beggars can’t be choosers.”
1. “Send them a Venmo request instead asking for money and saying you’ve never been to Disney.”
2. “Come do my hair for free and bring all of the supplies. And not a please in sight.”
3. “Over a whopping 75 cents, to boot.”
4. “Where do I sign up?!”
5. “Just a casual, free, real wood Broyhill dresser then.”
6. “Sure thing! Maybe I can board it for free too?”
7. “Free jewelry of course, but I’m picky.”
8. “Please earn 3.75 an hour while working for my husband with your own tools.”
9. “I was giving away a free dishwasher on Craigslist, and I caught one in the wild.”
10. “I guess your friends know, so ask strangers instead.”
11. “Right to my work email.”
12. “Just pay me to care for my cat and my dog.”
13. “The ketchup critics walk among us.”
14. “This is my first house, so just furnish it please.”
15. “It’s the shouty caps that got me”
16. “Choosing beggar under the toogoodtogo app.”
17. “Provide my kids’ summer and my ability to watch them.”
18. “Please bring me all of the unnecessary things.”
19. “My mechanic just telling how it is.”
20. “CB wants gift cards, not clothes. Proceeds to get offended when people call out her BS.”
21. “He’s going to pay with experience bucks.”
22. “This store knows.”
23. “The pickiness seems endless.”
24. “Broke boy.”
25. “A truly brilliant way to deal with influencers.”
