A scent of self-entitlement
Perhaps this is a moment to dig out the dictionary. Try to see if you can catch the different between “entitled” and “sense of entitlement”. I realize, this is subtle. Related to nuance.
On social media, someone wanted to express frustration about how longit was taking to get electricity back at home. (S)he paid taxes, lots of taxes. Why wasn’t this a priority for the utility. OK, the rest of us get it. Sitting in the dark is an acquired taste. When it was added that the second home was fine, a slight odour was detected by others. And then, when someone linked to the photos from being in Toronto during the outage, and you posted praise to the airline pilot that gave your child an opportunity to sit in the cockpit, wearing a fancy hat, the odour went skunky. We get it. You weren’t actually inconvenienced by the power outage.
Of course, this is the owner of a small business, selling things that aren’t nreally needed. Guess what? Now you have reduced your customer base. And those shoes, under your seat on the plane. Flying too high for the common person.
If you post on social media, others may read your missive. They may actually understand that your sense of entitlement is like a suit of armour. You might find that others aren’t as (self)impressed. Here’s my hope: when you get the power back at your other house, that you will take a long look in the mirror. You probably have many. Let the rest of us know if you see anything important.
