Entitled people always push to get their own way. They go to huge extents to get what they think they deserve, sometimes even at the expense of others. Many demand extra services or try to force people to bend the rules for them. Luckily, entitled citizens aren’t excluded from following the rules.
One such demanding man finally got what was coming to him when his mechanic played a clever prank on him. The worker shared the full story on Reddit and detailed how exactly he got his revenge.

Racist man who demanded cheaper repair services and stalked the mechanic who refused to work on his truck ended up being taught a valuable lesson
Rude veteran kept guilt-tripping mechanics to fix his truck for cheap because he would always try to do it himself and screw up every time
One day the entitled man showed up when the mechanic’s boss was out of town, and he kept demanding repair services for practically free, but the repairman did not give in
The veteran got angry and started stalking the mechanic as he left work, the repairman then decided to lure him onto a rough desert trail that would ruin his truck’s suspension
The worker’s clever idea for revenge led to the veteran being stranded in the desert with his truck damaged after falling from a 5-foot drop and in need of rescue services
As the mechanic shared in his story, the entitled veteran kept coming to the shop demanding services for cheap. He would behave in a very racist manner with the workers and use his status to guilt-trip people into getting what he wanted. The veteran kept trying to fix his own truck and ended up ruining it even more, which is when he would approach the shop and demand they do it for free.
It might seem extremely surprising that someone would go to such an extent to get free repair services. But, as the Guardian states, “depending on the context, anger can make us brave or reckless.” Studies have also shown that anger can increase risk-seeking behavior and impact decision-making, which can cause people to underestimate the potential negative impact of a situation.
The veteran definitely didn’t think so far as to consider what would happen if he followed the mechanic. But the repairman had a plan. He contacted his friend , who lived a few miles away in the middle of the desert, to act as his backup. His idea was to get the rude guy to follow him through rough desert terrain, which would damage his truck even further. The entitled man wasn’t thinking clearly and fell right into the trap.
Research on anger has also demonstrated that angry people feel more energized to assault the object of their anger or to fight against it. People who get mad tend to feel excited thinking about revenge or punishing the person they’re angry with. Researchers Campbell and Muncer also found that men see the expression of anger as a way of getting control over the situation at hand. That’s probably why the racist veteran decided to follow the mechanic and demonstrate his anger in some way.
In this case, it’s possible that the veteran was either caught up in his anger or suffering from some kind of mental illness. Solara Mental Health states that: “the effects of PTSD can make it difficult for veterans to readjust to civilian life. Individuals with PTSD may face additional mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, alcohol, drug abuse, or thinking about harming themselves or others.”
Commenters were shocked that the entitled guy tried following the mechanic home, and they found it amusing to see how the veteran got his just desserts
