ENTITLEMENT Ran across this true case, today. A woman has a few kids and couldnt pay her mortgage a few years ago, and the house was about to go into foreclosure. So these nice people bought the house from her at the last minute - a 6 bedroom house that they could usually easily rent for around $1650 a month, and they made a rental agreement with her, that she would pay them $750 a month and find a roommate who could make up another $500, and theyd be OK. So what does she do? She doesnt get the roommate and pays them the $750 for the last couple of years, and they let her get away with it. Then she stops paying them. Now shes not poor or anything. She works for a local government agency in the Denver area, and Im guessing they dont even hire anyone for less than $60-$75K? So I was sent to serve her a Demand for Rent or Possession and a Notice to Quit ( essentially an eviction ). I go there, and at 1:45 in the afternoon, she has her co-worker tell me that shes not there, and when I press them to find her, they say shes out to lunch. Now I know that the particular department she works in goes out to lunch from 12-1 PM. So I come back later, and being she works in a secured area, a guard has to literally go in there and get her to come out for me. I hand her the documents and she takes a quick look and huffs, then turns and walks back in. WOW! What a sense of entitlement! Speaking of entitlement: Then as were driving back home afterwards, theres an apparently homeless guy crossing the street, with all his stuff in a Petco shopping cart that he stole. Petco probably pays $500 for one of these carts ( plastic, not welded wire like the supermarkets have, which cost a lot more ), so this guy thinks hes entitled to steal one and use it as his personal wagon for his stuff. Probably the kind of philosophy and attitude that led him to be homeless in the first place.
