I don't know that this is *breathtaking* but I'm pretty sure this lady didn't know she was out of line at all.
A friend who owns a store had a sidewalk sign out, with several balloons tied to it. A woman walking by started helping herself to a balloon to give to her child. When another friend who was helping out at the store asked her not to take the balloons, she got all pissed off and called him a nasty name, in front of the kid.
That story's in my mental encyclopedia under "entitlement".
