In this economy, even treating yourself to a small dessert can feel like a luxury. So it’s no surprise that people are constantly looking for ways to cut costs wherever they can.
But there’s a big difference between being budget-conscious and being downright shameless. When that line is crossed, you might just find yourself featured on the subreddit Choosing Beggars, a corner of the internet dedicated to calling out the most entitled and outrageous attempts to score something for nothing.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most audacity-filled requests out there. Scroll through and see which ones made your jaw drop.

#2 Looking For A Dog Sitter, 42 Hours A Week, For Free Or Cheap
Posted in a local town chatter. Looking for a dog sitter for 10 hours and 30 mins a day! Surely this should be free or cheap. Oh, and it must be in your house. I have low money and just now trying to get back on my feet, but I bought an expensive dog and now need free daycare for it. And go!

#9 Send Me TV Options And Deliver The One I Want To My House
I’m in a few buy nothing groups in my city and this person has posted several times asking for a 54 inch TV (or better) and wants to choose from a selection of free TVs. On top of that, you get to drive it to their place and will probably have to set it up.

#78 Desperately Need Food, Must Be Delivered
This is a very common thing in my area. I get people needing food due to unforeseen circumstances but 9 times out of 10, they only want food that can be delivered. If you are desperate for food, wouldn’t be willing to go get it? People routinely remind these folks that public transit in our city is currently free – this person is proactively shutting down the “you can use the bus to pickup for free” rhetoric.
