tell me a story

[cos]

Tell me a story of something someone said or did that was so outrageously beyond chutzpah, it could only have happened if the person in question had not only a breathtaking sense of entitlement, but also no idea how out of line they were. They didn't just have a lot of nerve - they had no clue they had a lot of nerve, and observers could barely believe it happened.

This was what I thought of. In fact, I was wondering if the original post was inspired by this, since there was discussion if it actually counted as chutzpah or if it was due to sheer obliviousness.

I had read it, but for some reason wasn't thinking of it as an example when I posted this post, so I'm glad she posted the link to remind me of it. It's just the sort of example I want.
