We've probably all heard the phrase, "beggars can't be choosers," at one point or another. Unfortunately, they often can be. There are people everywhere who believe they're entitled to free gifts because of the social media followers they have 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 "worst person ever" who left their legacy behind in screenshots and photographs. Just because beggars shouldn't be choosers doesn't mean they won't be.

Hopefully, no one you know is anything like these folks, because we can't imagine what it would be like to encounter someone like this in real life. Seeing them act out on social media and online shopping platforms is bad enough. Yes, times are tough out there, but if you really need something desperately, you won't be begging for the newest model. These people think they should be given whatever they want for free, and we're all rooting against them.

Here are 24 examples of choosing beggars who really should have remembered the classic idiom.
