#the entitlement tho...that shit kills me. i don't care abt ur age or achievements or status etc. -> respect needs to be <earned>

the first time EY "stole" those headphones, the shop owner didn't have any proof it was him. despite this, he insisted on calling his dad, proposed to call the cops, and showed very little sympathy for a child literally getting beaten up by their father right in front of him.

-> why?

he felt disrespected bc of how EY talked to him. it stopped being abt the headphones before his dad even arrived. he just wanted to see the kid who disrespected him shut up, apologize, and admit he was wrong. especially considering how many people were watching and talking abt their argument -> gotta save face and restore your credibility & pride.

this is why, in a way, his dad wasn't wrong to tell him to apologize bc he knew that's what the shop owner wanted to hear. sometimes, the quickest way to solve the issue is to give the person what they want (in this case, an apology) and walk away.

#this fragile pride and entitlement to respect that (especially old) people feel drives. me. cRaZy. #people who spiral and feel threatened the moment they lose the upper hand or aren't treated the way they think they should be. #i remember the shit i got from my dad bc an older distant relative i never see told him i didn't tell her 'good morning' when i woke up #like bro if that's the type of shit that gets u upset u've got bigger problems than my Not Awake Ass telling u hi in the morning #it's the power trip. it's the need to gain back control when someone's words or behavior don't match the norm & therefore your expectations #<- most humans living in a society will freak out when you don't follow the social script or when the clean-cut label boxes get messed with #the panic your poor pride suffers when reality doesn't fit your personal world view and you have to admit u were wrong. #the entitlement tho...that shit kills me. i don't care abt ur age or achievements or status etc. -> respect needs to be <earned> #i want to see you do sth worthy of my respect. good luck🫡 #<- summarized: i hate boomers (and entitled old ppl in general) #i'm writing this at 3am i'm sry for rambling #no home #no home manhwa #집이 없어 #webtoon #eunyung baek #meta #stealing arc #details #multipart #!! i'm not defending his dad !! <- fuck that guy. i'm just pointing out that his logic wasn't wrong given the situation #even if he had different intentions when he said it
