We had (emphasis on had) friends with the entitlement disease I see among many young people these days, as in "my life is so hard that I DESERVE this" or "I'm entitled to it". They had already given a sob story to so many people it was disgusting to get a hand out (which they never repaid) & had the audacity to claim they never get a break. A sweet couple once GAVE them the downpayment on their home. If I got that many breaks, I'd be rich. The kicker, though, was when they bought as much as they could on credit (cars, 4-wheelers for their kids, clothes, jewelry, etc.) and then filed bankruptcy. That is the same thing as theft, as far as I'm concerned. They laughed about it! Needless to say, this effectively dissolved the friendship.
