21 Absolutely Ridiculous Demands From 'Choosing Beggars'

By now, we've all heard the phrase "beggars can't be choosers." Unfortunately, it turns out they often are. There are people everywhere who believe they're entitled to free gifts because of the TikTok followers they bought or the fact that they can trade a live alligator in their negotiations for a lower price. From /r/ChoosingBeggars, meet a new kind of Karen that left their legacy behind in screenshots and photographs. Just because beggars shouldn't be choosers doesn't mean they won't be. Thus, the subreddit /r/ChoosingBeggars was born, a place to appreciate all the odd requests these people have made.

Here, frustrated Redditors share their favorite mind-numbing interactions with people who believe they're entitled to free services, childcare at a wildly illegal rate, huge discounts on secondhand products, and even purebred golden doodles for free from online strangers. The extent of their entitlement knows no bounds, especially when they justify their ridiculous requests as "exposure" for local craftsmen, restaurants and artists. Here are 21 people who are now getting a bad kind of exposure for their picky and self-centered actions.
