Entitled...

[EastCoastDawg]

...sorry, just haven't seen the word "Entitled" in a post recently

If we want to maintain its over-used status, we have to keep using it, people!

[Arctic Fox]

I have decided to entitle myself.

Henceforth, please address me as Lord Fox of Arctic.

[Stu from NYC]

The next time we go to the neighborhood pool we are entitled to ask everyone else to get out.

Yes, we are so entitled. We were entitled to grow up in a three room apartment (probably the size of some closets) with parents and four children. We were entitled to work three jobs between us so our kids can grow up in a house and not a small apartment. We were entitled to not really seeing much of each other because I worked the day shift and my husband did the night and weekend shift. I didn’t “entitle” myself to manicures, pedicures and someone else dying my hair. That would have taken money away from our household. We did entitle ourselves to working hard, raising decent children with morals, loving and believing in our faith, helping anyone whenever it was possible. Bottom line, we worked our a$$s off to be “entitled”. Now, from what I hear, we are asked to give up our houses that we are not “entitled” to have. Crazy world for sure.

Wow you sound like my parents raising 4 kids in a one bedroom apartment before my dad borrowed money from everyone he knew to buy a two family home in Brooklyn and work a million hours a week to pay everyone back.

Yes, that’s how we were raised and I wouldn’t trade my childhood for all the money in the world! We didn’t have many material things but we had so much than kids today. Things that mean something, not an IPhone, which by the way, both my grandchildren have, lol!

[Bay Kid]

I am entitled to go to work, pay my taxes and hopefully enjoy life.

[Chi-Town]

The thread was meant to be lighthearted, I think. At least I'm entitled to think so.

Wow! Luv it. Couldn’t have said it better myself. And now my hubby& I are grateful. That his kids & mine are all much better off than we were and living the good life. That’s our best reward.

I played behind numerous entitled people yesterday at Cane Garden because of all of the ball marks I had to fix. :censored::censored:

[Stu from NYC]

I am entitled to find new shows on TV to help us get thru this.

[billyb1950]

Last time I checked we are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Not entitled to happiness... just the pursuit of it.

You're entitled to your opinion ~

Keeping it light

I’m entitled to be afraid of getkos, lol.

[La lamy]

I'm entitled to enjoy my winters in TV. Oh wait... the freakin border is closed.

Come down to the Marsh Bend area and you will see entitlement. So many 30 and 40-somethings that have their nose in the air and do not have the common decency to greet you when you say Good Morning or Hello. Morse Family, keep selling to 30 and 40-somethings to keep your sales numbers high.

Give them the benefit of the doubt. They probably can't hear you over the turnpike noise.

[DanBrew]

Everyone living in this great country legally is entitled to but three things, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Note that PURSUIT word. Beyond that, in the wise words of the late, great Charlie Daniels, "I ain't asking nobody for nothin if I cain't get it all on my own." Side note. The hair isn't long anymore.

Many people here are in there late 50’s and 60’s they are very athletic and to older people might seem younger I’ve lived in 5 homes in the villages and I think the people out here are very friendly . If you saw me walking while driving by in a car you would think I was much younger also . I keep up my appearance and my gym routine and love the younger vibe of this area

That was a good life-story. And I expected this thread to be boring and trivial. Way to put pizzaz in it!

You could use AND abuse it.

Not raining yet in Bonita but looking like thunderstorm is rolling in

Quite possibly they are the "last of their breed" - the last generation collectively as a whole to achieve better than their parents. May upward mobility live in peace - the 3rd world cometh.

You are entitled to try watching a good martial arts movie with Donnie Yen titled, "Kung Fu Killer". It IS killer. Do NOT bother to watch Kung Fu Killer II which does not have Donnie Yen.

Interesting info. Maybe they all are from big cities. Not midwest friendly? Or maybe the CV has psychologically social distanced us. Or maybe social media? I REALLY don't know that answer. Different attitudes and different strokes for different folks?

That sheds some light on the situation. I personally am "old as dirt" and that dude dirt is pretty old. Anyone remember him from some oil or premium gas commercial? Anyone? anyone? - another old reference. Anyway, to the point, which I am ENTITLED to eventually get to - I am old and to my weary eyes, everyone over about age 50 looks the same. I used to be able to look at someone and know their age within + or - 5 years. Now I either can't or don't bother to make those distinctions. And, also, everyone from 19 to 35 looks the same to me.

[Arctic Fox]

... do not have the common decency to greet you when you say Good Morning or Hello.

I always say hello to people but, outside of The Villages, it usually scares them as they are not used to it

Thanks for your post! There is so much “ entitlement” on the golf courses, it is maddening. Please use your sand bottle. It is not a decoration!

"entitled" has been replaced with overused "racist" and "offended".

[Fishers2tall]

:bigbow:I always say hello to people but, outside of The Villages, it usually scares them as they are not used to it

Maybe they just don’t know the proper etiquette to use in addressing his excellency Lord Fox of Arctic!!!

[bpascani]

As did we..

it's not as bad as you think! i haven't lost faith in the next generation. after listening to them, & hearing ALL kinds of views, these kids aren't as dumb as one might assume. what they DID learn, was to keep their mouths shut during public discussions, & not voice their TRUE feelings until alone with friends. when my daughters' friends come to visit, i give them privacy (& they don't know i'm listening, lol) & i overhear them talk about politics/today's society, etc., & these kids aren't stupid. they can see right through the nonsense & i breathe a sigh of relief :pray:
