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.

Well, the most obvious historical example I can think of is "Let them eat cake".

My mom has immense amounts of chutzpah, but is generally aware of this, so that when she does things like compel an NYC subway car full of morning commuters to sing happy birthday to her, or hails a cab on the NJ Turnpike, it is with full knowledge.

This is so full of win. I like your mom already.
