So far this week we have have had;

I’m now unemployed, what Sky TV package should I pay for?
I’m a parent and should be able to go on a nice holiday without paying premium school-holidays prices, how much will the school fine me for going in term time?

So what other ‘expectations’ have become the societal norm like sunny holidays and paid for TV as a requirement for life that would previously have been baffling (and maybe still is).

People have responded with real incredulity that I am quite happy with my 12 year old, 258k mile car.
Some have even expressed surprise when I’ve given them a lift in it because it’s ‘just like a normal car’…….as opposed to something with holes in the floor so you can push yourself along with your feet.

I worked with a guy who genuinely believed that this was the case! He scared the life out of me pulling on a motorway with this sense of entitlement right in front of oncoming traffic. He can’t have passed his test more than 3 years previous.
