Appalled People Share The Worst Case Of 'Spoiled Rotten' They've Ever Seen


Spoiled rotten food is a no-brainer. If your food goes past its expiration date or sits on the counter too long, you throw it out or add it to the compost pile. Easy. Spoiled people, though, are a different story.

We've all heard stories about spoiled people with their entitled attitudes or their fits of rage to get what they want. What exactly is spoiled? After all, spoiled people come in all shapes, sizes, ages and wealth.

It's not a matter of too much love, and it's not the act of receiving everything you want or being handed everything. Spoiled is the belief that you're entitled to everything and you will do anything and act in any way to get it.

If you've ever seen a child throw themselves upon the ground, kicking and screaming, only to be calmed by the toy they desire, you know spoiled. If you've ever seen a YouTube video of an adult crying over receiving the wrong color car, you know spoiled.

Here are the best stories from Reddit of spoiled rotten people and the way they act. How many stories could you tell?

Don't forget to check the comment section below the article for more interesting stories!

#1 Call the Authorities 

I was at the Ford dealership getting my oil changed and spending time by walking through the big showroom. There is a Mustang GT350 sitting in the middle with a huge bow on it and folks gathered around waiting for someone. Minutes later the family comes in with their son, who immediately yells about wanting it in blue instead of black, and denting the passenger door with a swift kick.

#2 Good Riddance!

My sister refuses to look for a job and, as a result, moves back home. She uses my parent's vehicle to drive around with her boyfriend and go to parties and stuff. One day there's a family emergency and the car is not in the driveway for her to use. She throws a tantrum, trashes the house, and runs away with her boyfriend. By the way, my sister is 22 years old.

#3 Wash Her Mouth Out

I was in a Toys R Us in the 90s. A mother and daughter, who had to be around 12, were shopping. The girl asked if she can have some toy. The mother said, "No, we are here to get a gift for ... ." The girl asked once or twice more and the mom declined.

The girl then said "f*** you, Mommy" and took off running. The mother chased here, while the kid cursed her out. Eventually, it must have ended.

I went to check out and the mother/daughter were behind me. The mother not only got her the toy she wanted, but actually apologized.

#4 Catty

My cat will only eat his kibble if it's whole pieces. He ignores the broken ones. Spoiled cat... I mean brat!

#5 Oooh, It's Shiny

My employer's two sons have everything paid for, so they never have to worry about cost. They both have everything they want and need. One of them likes expensive shiny things and he's always thrown fits until he got what he wanted, from what his dad told me. For Christmas, he wanted a $1200 55" Samsung curved TV, even after his dad stated that his budget was $1000 for each. He threw fits and got mad at his dad. His dad, being the wimp he is, apologized and ended up buying it for him anyway. The son is 21 years old.

#6 Pass The Classifieds, Please

A friend of mine is married to a very rich man. Old coal money or something. No one in the family has to work, they all just live off of investments. Anyway, she was crying one day because her mother-in-law was threatening to cut her husband's allowance, and he might have to, GASP, get a job!

#7 It Wasn't A Good Year

I went to school with a girl who got a 2012 BMW, and literally cried and cussed out her parents because she didn't get a 2015.

#8 But Me My Own Or Else

When my brother broke off one of the rear-view mirrors on my father's nicest car two days before getting his license (driving illegally because he couldn't be bothered with the five-minute walk to the store on a mild sunny day to get a can of soda). He just put the car in the garage like nothing happened. My parents bought him a brand new motorcycle so that he "wouldn't be tempted to borrow the car" anymore. I may have seen worse but this was in my family so...

#9 Jet Set

In college, I knew a girl whose daddy was some big time banker or something. He made enough that the wife didn't have to work, and 3 kids could go to expensive schools with little financial aid.

This girl didn't have to work during college, had all her supplies and lodging paid for by daddy, and got to fly home every time there was a 3-day weekend. All on her father's dime.

I once had to borrow $10 from her to pay for some food when we went out to eat. I promised I would pay her back once I got my check next week (at the time I worked for a cafe), and she seemed cool with it. Turns out she was not cool with it, and promptly bashed me on her blog and to all her other friends, calling me a bad person and a thief. All because I borrowed $10, which I paid her back. I brought up the blog posts and she was very embarrassed.

Last I heard of her she's living in a daddy-paid Manhattan apartment, working part-time as a receptionist at a yoga studio. She started a new blog about "the struggle."

EDIT: Another instance, this was back in high school so the details are a little fuzzy, but there were two girls. 1. The daughter of oil money 2. the daughter of a garbage truck corporation. They always tried to out-do each other. The oil money girl got a brand new Audi convertible when she got her license.

#10 Rich People Problems

I'm from a rich area in Dallas, TX, so I've seen some stuff. I went back for a visit, and my childhood best friend was complaining that her parents were only letting her go to New Zealand instead of Amsterdam. Her dad is a multi-millionaire, and both of her teenage brothers drive Teslas.

My male best friend was complaining to me that he didn't get to go to prom in a hummer limo, only a regular stretch. He looked like he was going to pass out when I told him that I missed prom in high school to work a night shift.

Glad I don't know them anymore.

#11 It's Not Fair!

I dated a girl who was given a brand new car for her 16th. She had it for less than a year before she crashed it. Her parents bought her a used car. She had it for about a year before crashing it. They bought her a THIRD car (used), and when her brother turned 16, she pitched a fit because he got a new car, while she had to drive around her used car.

#12 Jobs Are Beneath Me

I didn't know her personally, but I'm still friends with a guy who dated one of her friends and I heard this from him.

We all went to a private, pretty expensive school in the US. The "spoiled rotten" girl got a degree in journalism and promptly moved to London to find a job.

Her parents rented her an apartment, and I assume paid for her life, for about 2 years, before she was forced to move back. She had never looked for a job, nor was employed while there.

Once back in the states, she refused to live in her parents house, citing she was a grown woman and how could this be expected of her.

Her parents bought her an apartment in NYC.

Last I heard, she still lives in that apartment, without a job, but is/has moved because it's in "lame Brooklyn," not Manhattan.

#13 Here. Now Quiet.

A friend of mine saved up for an iPod when they first came out. He literally saved for a year to get one. His mom took him and his sister to the mall so he could purchase his. His sister started throwing a tantrum because she didn't have one now. Their Mom got so fed up with her about it, she bought the sister one to just shut her up.

#14 Make It Bigger

A friend I went to high school with got a slightly smaller iPadPro for his birthday. He really wanted the bigger one with more memory. He proceeded to put it on record and throw it off a roof in retaliation. His parents then buy him another iPadPro ("the correct one," as he put it.) I don't talk to him anymore because he was a condescending idiot.

#15 Just Not Good Enough

For a girl's 16th birthday, she was given a brand new Mercedes and immediately broke down crying in front of all of us. There were about 20 of her guests. She was upset because she wanted a Porsche, not a Mercedes. I had to walk three miles home because I still didn't have a car.

#16 There's Still Hope

My boyfriend's sister has skirted the line of "spoiled rotten," but for now, she's just "spoiled." She throws fits the moment school and work get a little too challenging for her (like full-on, screaming temper tantrums). Whenever she feels overwhelmed, her mom will spend hours doing her research homework, and writing her papers for her. (I would actually report this to the school if it wouldn't be blatantly obvious who did it. Her mom is an educator and should know better.)

She once had her boyfriend drive four hours out (and another four back) to come pick her up during a family trip because she didn't have a space private enough to focus on her school work. We were all sharing rooms and dealing with the lack of space equally (her mom ended up doing that school work for her.) Her parents even offered to give her the master bedroom to herself, which would've had two of us sleeping on the floor.

I should mention, this girl is 22 and in college.

She does have a sales job, which she's surprisingly really good at, which is why I think she still has a hope of being a productive adult.

#17 Change His Name. Quick!

I went to school with a kid who had the initials BMW, and cried when he got a new Audi instead of a new BMW. He wanted a car with his initials.

#18 Fetch My Slippers

My current roommate. He's an only child who decided to live with females. He expected us to be his mothers and was confused when we told him to clean up his own messes and do his own laundry. He refused to buy toilet paper because he thought I would supply him for an entire year, and physically fought me when I told him to buy his own. He sat the rest of us down and told us he "needed us to give him more attention." He told his mother he "felt sad," so she flew to our apartment across the country within an hour of him saying so. The list goes on...

#19 Champagne, All Around! Or Not

I worked in a nightclub for a while and went to serve a customer (just a random customer amongst the hundred others), who insisted I sell her a bottle of champagne on my bar. We only sold bottles in our VIP section, so I told her that. I said she's welcome to go upstairs and ask to purchase a booth in VIP. She got increasingly aggressive at me because I wouldn't serve her a bottle then and there. She went on to shout at me that she alone pays for my wages and that I won't be getting paid due to me not selling her a bottle. I was stunned, and I kept telling her she just had to go upstairs and ask the exact same question to my coworkers upstairs. She just left the club after that and didn't even buy a drink.

#20 Carry Me, Commoner

It's a different kind of spoiled than the other stories. Recently I had a friend tell me their friend's daughter had to go to the doctor. The girl is about 6 years old with the body of a three-year-old. She's 30 pounds and skinny as a rail. The doctor asked about the girl's diet and exercise. The father, my friend's friend, was too naive to realize that a child needs to play. The mom and dad waited on her hand and foot. Yes, she ate food, but was picky and didn't go outside to play. She was an absolute princess and that's what her mom wanted. She wore tiaras and dresses and her parents were her subjects. She didn't have friends and I don't know how she got through school (could be homeschooled or just a year prior to school), but she had literally no muscle or muscle development. The mother was raised the same way, I guess, with the princess thing. She is a spoiled brat to her boyfriend, but I don't have stories about that. In the end, they signed her up for karate. I hope she turns into Mulan instead of Sleeping Beauty.

#21 Color Is Everything

I overheard a girl screaming at her parents for buying her the wrong color car. She threatened them and said she would intentionally wreck the car, and make them buy her a new one, so she could get the right color and the "idiots" could get it right.

The car was a brand new M3, and she was maybe 17.

#22 Spoiled Plan, Foiled

I think I'll break up the negativity in this thread with a good spoiled kid.

I knew a guy in high school whose parents were loaded. I'm talking multi-million dollar house in Louisiana loaded. He'd invite a few of us over for dinner sometimes. I remember one time his parents brought out a big slice of chocolate cake for him and no dessert for us. We were cool with it. It was his house, right? He demands that we get cake too because it's not fair.

He'd also regularly "loan" us some of his allowance. He got like $1,000 a month from his parents, so sometimes he'd show up at your door with a $100 and stuff it in your pocket. All around cool dude.

#23 Buy Me Something. Anything

A woman I know plans trips, fully expecting other people to pay for everything. Either her dad, boyfriend, or some random guy ends up paying for everything.

#24 Walking Is For Suckers

My friend went to Disney Land with her sister and niece. Her sister got her 10-year-old daughter a wheelchair to be wheeled around in, so she wouldn't "get too tired." It wasn't so they could get special treatment or go through lines quicker, just because her kid was spoiled and lazy. My friend asked her niece, "See all of these other kids running around and having fun? Don't you want to do that too?" The kid just ignored her. Needless to say, the little girl has a problem with her weight.

#25 Tony The Tiger VS The Captain

Apparently, it's me. According to my older brother and sister, I'm spoiled rotten because Mom bought me Cap'n Crunch after my brother and sister left the house and went off to college.

This happened when I was 15, and 30 friggin' years later, it's brought up at every family gathering of how spoiled I was because I got Cap'n Crunch instead of Frosted Flakes.

Oh, the shame I've lived with.

#26 Boat Boy

My roommate is an application essay reader for a university's business school. He was just telling me about a kid who wrote his "overcoming hardship" essay about how he really wanted a boat because all of his friends had boats, and it was hard for him to be left out. Then he overcame his hardship when his parents bought a boat.

#27 #Husky

This girl from my school went and begged people to retweet this one tweet of hers because if she got over 100 retweets, her mom would get her a husky puppy.

And yes, she got the number of retweets, and her parents got her the puppy. Just because... retweets. Yahoo.

#28 Fifty Million?

My family is well off so there are a lot of spoiled brats in the family. My uncle wanted his daughter to do well in life so he sent her to college and hoped she'd continue on with some type of career as he slowly cut her funding. She broke down within a few weeks so he backed off, let her quit school, and gave her fifty million because he couldn't watch his little princess be stressed about anything.

While visiting my ex-boyfriend and his close friend in Switzerland, the friends little sister had a birthday dinner with us that night so we decided to get her pie. Pie from the local shop just wasn't good enough for her apparently and she threw a fit. We took a helicopter to France just to buy pie.

 #29 "Good Kid"

When I was teaching in Kuwait. One of the kids there was a relative of the owner and would just do nothing all day but sleep in class. One day he got mad and hit a teacher and got "suspended" for a week. I say suspended but it was really a vacation in Dubai for him. Came back with a $20,000 falcon that his father bought him because he had been so good. The kid was 12.

#30 Thorn In My Back

I worked at Taco Bell in HS. At the time, we had kids’ meals. This kid comes in with his parents and orders a kids’ meal. Apparently, he had been in recently, and already had that toy. He started screaming at me to get him another toy. His dad looked at me with an absolutely dejected look on his face and begged me to go get the toy. I dug through the new box of toys, and found one. The kid ripped it out of my hands, and ran outside… Directly into a rose bush.

My coworker was legit laying on the ground laughing.

#31 Math Attack

I was tutoring a 7th grader. I asked him to do the first half of his homework without his calculator. This wasn’t calculus. I was asking him to do basic multiplication. 7×5 4×8 nothing crazy… He threw a tantrum, and I stuck to my guns. His mom came in and asked what was wrong. She asked him to do just 2 problems without the calculator, but he continued to throw a fit. So she went down to one problem. He throws himself on the floor, rolls around, grabs things and throws them, all while screaming that we’re ruining his life and just want to see him fail. At this point I’m just sitting back appreciating my parents, appreciating the fact that i don’t have children… she tries to calm him down, and eventually she tells me its ok to let him use the calculator. He got a Wii U the next day.

#32 Those Things Are Expensive!

In elementary school, this girls parents would pack her a pizza Lunchable every single day for her lunch. I used to have to sit and watch her unpack it, eat one pizza and the fun size candy that comes in the box, then throw the rest of it away in the trash. Rinse and repeat.

I STILL get angry about it to this day.

I dated a girl who's parents would give her sister and her matching Gucci bags every year. She didn't like that color so she complained to me for a week about how much she hated it. I just wanted to take it and pawn it off so I could buy a n Xbox and a few games.

A kid who went to my middle school but a different high school was so upset that his parents bought him the wrong car that he took it into a field and set it on fire.

#37 Rich Kid

In my freshman year of college there was a kid with really rich parents. I think he was from India. Everyone hated him because he was a real braggart (and wasn't making it up, so he really didn't deserve it) and would never study anything and would constantly interrupt the professor to nag them over piddling none-sense, so the rest of us would never get any learning done.

Not everyone has a fortune at home buddy, we actually need to learn from class.

#38 Uhh... Daddy!

This bratty teenage girl yelled at her dad about her cell phone not working and told him to run to the Apple store for her while she waited in line to buy something else with his credit card. He did it and came back with a new phone for her. Maybe it's easier to say yes than start a fight?

#39 Safer...?

My cousin. When he turned 16, my aunt and uncle got him a brand new BMW convertible. When he hit a deer and totaled that, they got him a Mustang GT convertible. When he ran that into a ditch (speeding at night on Texas back-country roads), they got him a fully loaded F250 so that he would be "safer".

#41 Mercedes So Nice We Bought It Twice

There was a girl in my high school that got a new Mercedes for her first car, at some point the car needed to be refuelled so she took her car to the station and filled the tank with diesel....it was not a diesel car.

The car needed an entirely new engine and was pretty much totaled, so her parents bought her a new Mercedes the next day.

#42 Perspective Is Key

This one is just sad, in my opinion. A young girl I worked with in the previous months had a collection of Uggs, Michael Kors, Rolex watches and the most expensive makeup imaginable. She was immature, but sweet and sympathetic, so she wasn't exactly rotten. I mentioned to fellow manager that she was spoiled beyond belief, and she told me "that girls mom has brain cancer. She can have whatever she pleases as long as she doesn't hurt anyone." I never forgave myself for thinking that she was so lucky. I still talk to her now and then to see how she's doing.

#44 Flush The Toilet

My previous roommate's boyfriend was so beyond spoiled he never lifted a finger - up until 20 he lived so "lavishly" to where he never flushed a toilet. He would do his business, get up, and leave the bathroom and have someone flush for him. Found this out when he moved in with us and when I confronted him, he openly admitted that he's never flushed a toilet.

#45 Gas Thing

I had a girl in high school call me to ask how to put gas in her Range Rover. I guess her dad took it out once a week and topped it off. In two years of driving it she never had to stop for gas.

On her first road trip I got the phone call. "Where does the gas thing go?"

#46 Yeah, That Isn't Normal

A girl on my floor in first year university - spoiled and utterly clueless that her way of life wasn't a normal thing for everyone.

She asked me once why I was making Kraft Dinner to eat instead of just going out, or making myself something healthy like steak and salad. She really couldn't grasp the concept of not everyone's parents being wealthy enough to pay off a monthly credit card, or buy expensive cuts of steak and a nice bottle of beverage for dinner like her parents did for her. Her parents were buying $500 a week in groceries for her, easy. Plus footing her tuition, residence, spending money, clothing allowance, travel tickets, and anything else she needed or wanted.

#50 Trouble With Sisters

When I turned 16, all I wanted for my birthday was to see The Blue Man Group perform. I saved my own money to pay for my own ticket. I gave my mom the money, and I was really excited because my mom said she had the tickets and everything. My mom, my sister, and I all got in the car to go see the show. We arrived at the wrong place and I immediately thought something was wrong. When I ask my mom why we were there, she said that my sister wanted to see "O" by Cirque Du Soleil, so she just bought tickets for that instead. I was so blown away that, even though it was my birthday and my money, my sister had the final say over what we ended up doing. I refused to see the show, and opted to walk through the casino the entire time instead.
