Beggars can’t be choosers.
We are all very familiar with this phrase. And in very plain English what this means is that someone who is literally begging, for one thing, is in no position to make demands. For example, if you see a beggar on the side of the road and decide to give them some money, they are not in the position to say “give me more”. This is where the whole concept got derived from and has evolved into what we witness today. This statement applied to us as kids when our parents would go get us a bag right before school would start again but in a color that we aren’t a fan of. No, as a kid I was not in the position to make demands so indirectly my mom and dad would hit me with a “beggars can’t be choosers” every year. This phrase applies perfectly where you being a good person is considered an opportunity to exploit that goodness by being demanding. Even though we all have a pretty firm idea that beggars can’t be put in a position to choose, there are so many of them still doing it, publicly over the internet. Unfortunately for them, nothing on the internet stays hidden for long and such beggars get publicly shamed and get called out for being choosers.
There’s an entire subreddit known as r/ChoosingBeggars dedicated to these beggars being publicly called out for exploiting the niceness of nice people. The community has over 2.2 million members. Let’s enjoy some hilarious instances of such beggars being called out that we have compiled for you guys.

These people, by reading through these events, seem to have that high sense of entitlement that Karens have. You guys also witnessed that similarity, right? Their egos blind them good enough to fully forget who they are and where they belong. And that’s why they get hilariously caught and shamed. I hope you guys are enjoying this one because we’ve got a lot more stories.
