re: I will never cease being amazed how entitled people are

Now that story just infuriated me. The balls on that guy to threaten to sue over winning something for free. God bless your FIL

I’ve learned through doing charity work, there are a lot of ungrateful people out there, but the few who do show gratitude tend to make it worthwhile.

I once helped deliver food boxes to poor folks. Each box had a variety of canned goods, TP, dried beans, coffee, etc.

Most folks were extremely grateful. But one house had an older lady and her adult daughter. They welcomed me in. Daughter pawed through the box, glared at me and asked where the other ___ was. "There is usually two of them." I said I had no idea; I was just helping make deliveries. She started shaking her head and muttering like I ripped her off. The mom did seem embarrassed that daughter was such a bitch.

Like you say, the ones who show gratitude make it worthwhile. My last stop was an old lady who had the worst house on the route. She didn't even look to see what was in the box. She had me come sit and visit for a while, and she expressed her thanks over and over. That was the most memorable stop of the day.
