Couldn't agree more. Its amazing how entitled some people feel.
Restaurants are probably the best example, especially when people are outrageous to the waiter, hostess, or barback when problems are clearly outside of their control (kitchen issues, staffing issues). Other good places to judge this characteristic: Taxi Cabs and customer-support calls (you dont need to be on the call, simply listening to the person will tell you enough).
Also, to be clear, that doesnt mean that people have to be doormats - just not a complete asshole. Empathy goes a long way.
I try to avoid doing business with people who fail this test - is usually means they are highly emotional / rash about decisions, or that they don't mind badgering other people to get their way. Both are bad.

- cakesy 17y agoOk, I have to talk about this. I am always nice and polite to poeople, but somehow I see people that who are actually rude and obnoxious, get treated better in every way. At a shop, restaurant, taxi, you name it. Rude people get there way, sure when they leave the clerks whinge about them. No matter how much people complain about rude people, if they actually treat them better, what do they expect.
