Sadly, we’ve all encountered freeloaders in our lifetime. Whether it’s the friend who always “forgets” their wallet or the cousin who’s been crashing on your couch for just a few weeks (months ago), freeloaders are everywhere. Here’s a playful look at the biggest moochers who’ve made freeloading in life their full-time job. Buckle up—this might hit close to home!
This is just so, so sad. Imagine lending some money to a close friend so they can buy diapers for their kid only to find out that they’ve spent it all on alcohol.
The worst part? After this person confronted their friend, instead of owning up to their mistake their friend called them childish and couldn’t even be bothered to ask how they were doing…
Would you ever want to loan money to this person again? Especially when they accuse you of being the bad guy for not falling for the same trick twice!
Free Wifi
Some people have no shame at all! This guy told his Facebook “friends” that he needed a place where he could smoke and access free WiFi.
When he didn’t get any responses offering to help him, he added that people had an hour to reply before he turned off his data and would no longer be on Facebook!
We really hope this shameless guy actually went along with his cheap threat. Okay, buddy, go ahead, nobody is gonna stop you. Log out and don’t come back!
Some people need a reality check. This customer was upset about a gift that came with their order and asked for a different one! Can you believe it?
Apparently, this woman messaged the company because she got a lipstick that she didn’t ask for with her order. When she found out it was a gift she complained and asked for a different one!
For crying out loud lady! If you want the lipstick in a different color you will have to pay for it! How come this is a foreign concept for so many people?
Look, we get it, times are hard, and paying for a wedding is difficult, especially for young couples who usually don’t have much money.
However, the last thing you should do is try to squeeze out a gift from people that you didn’t invite. Especially if we are talking about family members!
It’s one thing if some distant cousin asks you for your registry and you send them a link. But messaging people asking for gifts when they are not invited? That is a big NO.
We all have some requirements when it comes to dating, but this shameless freeloader took hers to a whole other level! Just look at that dating profile!
Her demands are absolutely ridiculous! It’s okay to ask for someone to take care of you once and again but this is crazy. No trucks? No dad bod? No kids?
In addition to all of that, she’s demanding a nice house, a nice car, and someone who can “finance her lifestyle”. This woman doesn’t want a man, she wants a human ATM!
We don’t even know what to say. It’s not even the fact that this guy won’t pay for the ride that cracks us up—that’s classic freeloader behavior.
What really gets us is when they claim they don’t have time to fill out a Lyft form and ask for a ride instead. Can you believe it?
So you’ve got time to hop online, post about needing a ride, and chat with people offering one… but filling out a quick form takes too much time? It really doesn’t make any sense!
Can you believe it? A woman invited 23 of her family members on a blind date with the expectation that her date would pay for everyone!
Not surprisingly, her date did not agree to that, and she was left with the $3,100 dinner bill. His message to freeloaders everywhere where loud and clear: Eat it!
It’s good to know that at least this time a freeloader with no sense of shame wasn’t able to get away with it and she actually had to pay for her crimes, don’t you think?
Can you believe it? This girl wasted half the ice cream of the machine just to create in pursuit of an Instagram-worthy “masterpiece”.
Meanwhile, a line of hungry onlookers waits, got to watch as vanilla and chocolate blend in a tragic cascade into the trash. Who cares about the cost to the store, right?
Some people really have no sense of shame at all. We can’t help but feel so bad not only for the other customers but for the owners of the store!
We can’t believe this! Imagine your landlord casually strolling up to you, hand outstretched, saying, “Hey, mind tipping me 10% on top of your rent?” Outrageous.
As if rent wasn’t already a hefty enough mountain to climb! Suddenly, you’re left wondering, should I be tipping for using the laundry room too?
Maybe the hallway light switch deserves a 5-star review! A landlord demanding a tip? Just be grateful you are getting the rent money!
Picture this: a guy finds out he’s been paying child support for a kid, only to discover via DNA test that he’s got zero biological connection!
But wait, the plot thickens—this woman still expects him to pay! Outrageous, right? It’s like being handed a dinner bill for a meal you didn’t order or eat.
Look, we understand that if your partner has a child with someone else you are gonna be a part of their life and should try to help out but at the end of the day that is not your responsibility
After reading this we think this man should ditch his girlfriend right away. Imagine finding out your boyfriend’s planning to propose only to complain about the ring online!
Outrageous! It’s like being mad at a surprise party because the cake isn’t your favorite flavor. She’s focused on the rock when the real gem is the guy down on one knee.
Maybe she wanted something shinier, but hey, at the end of the day it’s the intention that counts. Don’t you think? The nerve of some people…
Freeloaders are something else, man. This poor girl’s roommate borrowed the car to get to work, crashed it, and now refuses to pay for the damages!
That is unless she gets to keep driving it in the future! Outrageous! That’s like breaking a vase and demanding to keep using the pieces. What kind of negotiation is that?
“Sure, I wrecked your car, but let me take it out again, and we’re square.” As if that’s how things work! The nerve—who’s writing this rulebook?!
We understand that times are tough and some people might be in a difficult spot during the holiday season. There is nothing wrong with asking for a little help, but this?!
This person is asking for just some little help, they are practically demanding for a full family-size Christmas dinner for free! That is crossing a line.
They even have the nerve to say that they don’t want any frozen meals. Sorry man, but you can’t just expect a 5-star restaurant meal.
Pardon our French but what an insufferable idiot! That looks like a perfectly good Christmas gift to us! Don’t you think?
We really like the way the whole thing was arranged, you can tell the person behind this gift put time and effort into it.
And what do they get in exchange for their generosity? A douchebag complaining about their gif online. Yeah, that doesn’t sit well with us at all.
Can you believe this? Someone actually asked a photographer for a free Christmas photo session with their cat—in exchange for “exposure”! Outrageous!
As if snapping the perfect shot of Mr. Fluffy in a Santa hat is just a hobby. What’s next? Free catnip toys for the “publicity”? Exposure doesn’t pay the bills.
It doesn’t buy a camera lens either! Imagine offering a plumber “exposure” instead of cash to fix a leak. It’s absurd—this isn’t social media, it’s a business!
This woman kept a guy in the friend zone for four years while dating his best friend, then his brother. To top it off, she had a baby with his cousin.
After all that, they ended up married! The only explanation? She’s looking for a free ride, and he’s got the resources. What else could’ve made her change her mind?
We don’t want to be mean but we are pretty sure that lovely ring on her finger with that gigantic rock on top had something to with it. What do you think?
There is nothing wrong with asking for a free, second-hand refrigerator, if you are struggling financially and are in desperate need for it.
But you don’t need “a couple good size crock pots” (start with 2-3 pots of different sizes and you can upgrade your kitchen when you can afford it).
On top of that, you definitely don’t need a “white 6’ Christmas tree with lots of decorations” either. All these are wants and if you can’t afford them, maybe try to downsize them to your budget!
One would think that anyone looking for a place to move into would be asking about housing prices right? Well, apparently that is not always the case.
Instead of the usual “looking for housing” post with a budget and location, this writer got creative. He called himself a “pilgrim” and tried to score free housing through “acts of abundance.”
We are not sure about you, but the only abundance we’re getting from this is an abundance of annoyance… the nerve of some people!
You might think that this YouTuber seeking free products might have thousands of hundreds of subscribers. However, this person’s channel only had 40 subscribers!
There is nothing wrong with getting free things in exchange for promo, especially if you are a famous content creator but come on!
A channel with 40 subscribers? Even we have more followers than that on any social media platform! This person should get to work before going around asking for free stuff.
It all began when this guy asked for a free chair, claiming he needed it because he was paying off his son’s medical bills. Suspicious, right?
The seller, understandably, pointed out that if the bills were so steep, maybe splurging on a $150 chair wasn’t the best idea. This freeloader didn’t take that well.
Things quickly escalated to a death threat, simply because the freeloader couldn’t handle being told “no.” They even threatened to murder this person over the chair, crazy, right?
This shameless freeloader took the phrase “the customer is always right” to a whole other level when they went to get sushi with their family.
Apparently, this parent gave a one-star review because they couldn’t get a refund for not eating all the sushi they ordered.
We really can’t believe the nerves of some people! Just ask the restaurant to pack the rest of the food and take it home with you, right?
Wait, what? How is it considered harassment to ask for your own money back? If you returned it on time, they wouldn’t have to keep reminding you!
This person really thinks people should just “take the L” and accept they’re never getting their money back. Honestly, she should open a bank!
We are glad that at least someone called them out. The commentator is right! Imagine having the nerve to call someone “broke” when you are the one who owes them money.
We wish we were joking but this is actually true. One freeloader was happily using his neighbor’s WiFi and even thanked them for it, which we expected.
But what we didn’t see coming was that this “thank you” was just a prelude to asking the neighbor to upgrade to a pricier plan! Can you believe it?
Apparently, that way the freeloader could keep mooching for free but this time at a faster speed! Who has the nerve to pull something like that?
Freeloaders think the world revolves around them and love to make everything about themselves. That’s why they love their birthdays.
On their special day, they are more than happy to take any birthday money you offer, as long as it’s more than what they asked for.
Oh, and they’ll gladly accept attention too, as they prove with their constant posts. They know they’re being annoying—they just couldn’t care less!
One of the most annoying things about freeloaders is that they act as if rules don’t apply to them at all! And this is a perfect example of that.
Take this “regular customer” who thought he deserved another cookie for free after dropping it. Not even for a second did they think that they should pay for another one.
Side note: according to the OP, the “main dude” who works at the shop has never even seen him before. Can you believe it?
The shady side of this social media and other online platforms is they are filled with freeloaders trying to game the system in the most horrible ways.
They’ll act like they’re in dire need when what they really need is to get up and do something productive. And some people have no limits at all.
It was satisfying to see a fake “cancer patient” busted for lying about her illness and scamming 45,000 euros in donations. Here’s hoping she enjoys her time in jail!
Isn’t this supposed to be a dating app? Why is this woman looking for someone to move her furniture for free over there?
Luckily, her face is cropped out—she probably wouldn’t want to be recognized for how she’s using it. Offering just water is embarrassing enough, but she’s also pretty rude about it.
We can’t help but wonder if anyone actually swiped right on her offer or if she’s just left sitting there with her couch, still waiting.
She wants it all! She expects several years of experience but offers to pay next to nothing. Apparently she doesn’t see the problem.
This aunt can’t seem to understand why she should compensate someone properly for what she considers “just a hobby.” But a photographer with 5 years of experience isn’t exactly an amateur.
And we’re really amused by the part about ONE drink—does she mean alcohol, or are they just getting a single cup of water? We are dying to know.
Look, we understand. We’ve heard of people on the street getting a gym membership so they can at least be close to a bathroom and a shower. But asking for a luxury gym membership?
Interestingly, she is showing off her nails. Perhaps she wants to impress someone enough to sponsor all of these fancy things.
Look, we don’t want to be bad people here. But forgive us if we are apprehensive, after seeing so many freeloaders on this list we don’t know who we can trust.
Some “influencers” sure do know how to take freeloading to a whole other level. And here is a great example of someone doing just that.
This food blogger wanted both a meal AND money for a post on Instagram. In exchange for the meal and the money they offered the owner “exposure”, can you believe it?
They were even so kind as to offer a discount because they “really enjoy modern cuisine” Can you believe that?!
What is it with these “influencers” and constantly asking for free things in exchange of “exposure”? Buddy, if you are so rich and famous just pay for what you want, right?
We are LOVING this tattoo artist’s response: not only did he say no but they let the “influencer” know that they even have more influencers than them!
Good for the artist, you know? Some people are in desperate need of a reality check, someone has to put them in their place once in a while.
This influencer wanted a free ticket (and a plus-one) to this charity event that’s giving 70% of its money to people experiencing homelessness. Can you believe it?
These people really have no limits! The whole point of the event was to help people who were actually in need. But this woman made if all about herself.
Look, we know it’s not every “influencer” out there but somehow there is always one influencer involved in this sort of scandal. It is at the very least curious.
We seriously disagree with this woman over here, who is saying that it is the man’s responsibility to pay for babysitting if he wants to take out a mom on a date.
Seriously? We don’t think so lady. He’s not the one who had the child. He’s not the child’s parent. He doesn’t owe the child anything!
And let us tell you, he doesn’t owe that woman anything, either. In any case, if things become serious, well, that’s another story. But we think there is no chance with a woman like that.
This customer was upset their food delivery was delayed due to a tornado! Yeah, you heard that right! An actual tornado! Can you believe it?
This looks like the typical case where a freeloader starts to complain and expects some sort of compensation because they think they’ve been wronged.
But we are glad the owner of the restaurant put them in place right away! They are right, nothing is more important than people’s safety, especially not someone’s food delivery.
Some people have no shame, really. Imagine a restaurant having to threatened to call the authorities on you just to make sure you pay for your order!
And we can’t imagine how many times this must have happened if the restaurant had to actually put up a sign to point this out.
By the way, we are loving the final message: “Please leave your Karen at home.” Yes! Stop complaining and start paying what you own, freeloaders!
