Really getting tired of other people's entitlement attitudes.

Q. "Can I borrow your tractor?"
A. "No."
Q. "Why not? You're not using it."
A. "Because it's mine."
Q. "Well, aren't you special? Don't ask to use anything of mine."
A. "Yes. And I've never asked to borrow anything of yours."

A friend was annoyed by people trying to buy his car, which was a popular model to dress up in a certain style. He later said he wished he had sold to one of them.

What about sharks? Can you put some sharks in there too? I would.

A dragon would probably work...or a pile of skeletons near the sidewalk they have to transit.

Years ago I was appointed executor of my uncle's estate and I was overwhelmed with people wanting to buy his property,he owned one of the most beautiful properties in the county,right by a large creek.anyway one person who wanted it was a local real estate agent/auctioneer,the phone calls started once a week,then twice a week,I kept telling him no and he kept calling.one day he called me at work,big mistake,I told him if he called again I'd kick his a## so far up his back he'd s##t out his mouth,never heard from him again

Had a 68 Camaro in my yard for years as I saved to fix it up
I had so many door knockers that I got a 4x8 sheet of plywood and spray painted " not for sale" on it and leaned it against the car
Got some good laughs out of it and it seemed to work , although I did eventually sell the car

So I guess it was for sale after all?

I see the OP is in Portland, Or.

IIRC the unofficial (maybe official?) motto of that particular city is...

KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD!

'nuff said

True. Half the people in Portland are Wesens.

I'll tell you what I'm tired of . . . Forum members scorning other members' states or towns. It's a recurring thing on this forum. People beat their chests and scoff at what other members have to put up with. It is tiresome and reeks of arrogance. It's much like the entitlement OP speaks of.

Look, where one lives is always a compromise. My own state is a huge problem for gun owners, but a lot of us here don't have the government we voted for. While some things here suck, I'm 20 minutes from saltwater, 20 minutes from forest, an hour from snow, and 3 hours from desert. Hunting, fishing and shooting opportunities abound. Portland is very much the same, but they also suffer from the left.

So, in short, we all feel entitled not to be bothered by others who feel entitled.

Some people think the world revolves around them, the sun rises and sets with them and the rules the rest of us live by do not apply to them.

As a fellow Washingtonian, I can sympathize with what you're saying.
HOWEVER, having lived 29 years in the Puget Sound area, and spent quite a lot of time in Vancouver & Portland, I think I have a right to hold and express an informed opinion about both.
Unfortunately, that opinion has been very biased to the negative, based on nearly 30 years of experience watching both areas turn into a difunctional dystopian horror show.

I have 4 cars 2 motorcycles and a boat in front of my house. One motorcycle is in parts and one truck doesn't run. The rest are operational vehicles, although I only use one. Due to legal issues, I can't sell some of the cars and the boat. But that doesn't stop people from trying. About half of the people that ask hear "not for sale" and they understand and just walk away. Cool, I got no problem with it.
The other half? They act like you are denying them the "right" to buy things. Had a guy ring the bell, I opened the door and he asks, "Can I buy those cars for parts?" When I told him "Not for sale", he acted like I had slapped him. "But you're not using them!" I'm not "using" my fireplace. Doesn't mean I want to sell the bricks from the chimney. He left disappointed and shaking his head at my stubbornness and stupidity. It's ridiculous. I have been called a racist and other names simply because I won't sell them whatever thing of mine they want to buy. My father once had to call the police because one guy wouldn't leave.
Mind you, there are no signs offering things for sale. Still they come. One guy wanted to "take a look around to see if there was something else he might want to buy." I even had one especially entitled woman tell me that I should sell her a car for $200 as her son was getting his license and needed a car. Apparently, that's all the money he had for a car. But she felt I should take it and be happy.
I think I need to put up a sign that says, 'Nothing is for sale. Don't even ask."

In my town, you'da had at least three tickets a couple months ago . . .
