The clothing store took longer to process your order, you want a discount. The restaurant didn’t cook the dish according to your liking, you want a free meal. The airport mixed up your baggage, you want free flyer miles. The flight attendant served you the wrong meal, you want a compensatory second one. Whatever glitch, slip-up or mistake happens, you’re on the look-out for compensation. Basically, you’ve got a constant problem with the most basic things happening around you at all times because somehow, you think that it should all be moving perfectly smoothly because it’s you who is in the mix of that situation. If there’s a slight delay to your flight, or the in-flight service is slightly slower just because you’re hungrier than usual, you’re complaining. If there’s a technical glitch with the system in your office, you complain about how lax the admin department is and how they should do something about it. If you’re stuck in a traffic jam, you keep complaining about the authorities and how they should do something about it. So, no, even if you’ve been maintaining your steady diet to lose weight, you don’t “deserve” a cheat day just to make you feel good about yourself. So, that right there negates your sense of entitlement. But, the truth is there is always someone who is having worse off, or better off than you are. You don’t care about apologies of your own because you’re so obsessed with yourself and how unfair life and people are to you that you forget that you could be the same to others, too. You might think that those are legitimate reasons for deserving any sort of special treatment, or that having achieved a title, or a promotion automatically sets you up for special privileges. Or, if you feel you’ve been working too hard all year round and deserve a higher hike than most others. You Feel EntitledĮxample: You’ve had a shitty day and you feel like you deserve to be cut some slack at the work place, or at the gas station, or at any other station. So, how do you tell if you’re a snowflake? Here are a few tell-tale signs. Truth is also, out of the 7 billion people in the world, you have absolutely zero credentials worthy of qualifying you for any kind of special treatment, whatso-fucking-ever.ĭid you know that the term ‘Snowflake’ was the defining insult of the year 2016, according to The Guardian? Now you do! Shit is happening to all 7 billion plus people at various different times of various different days. We’re a population of some 7 billion people in the world… and counting. It happens all the fucking time to everyone. Everything, every thought and every action seems to begin and end with a two-syllable question. Not discrimination, not atrocities, or bias of any kind only and only self entitlement. There’s no second-guessing that, no matter what logic you put to it. In general, we are a generation with a sense of entitlement, however lost that sense may be. “I’m a gender minority so be nice to me because I deserve special treatment.”īasically, be nice to me because no matter what you may say, think, be or do, it is I who deserves special treatment. “I’m a woman so be nice to me because I deserve special treatment.” “I belong to a rich family so be nice to me because I deserve special treatment.” “I’m having a bad day so be nice to me because I deserve special treatment.” The generation of people who turned adults in the 2000s are known to belong to the snowflake generation-a generation of individuals who take everything too sensitively and believe that they are special beings who deserve special treatment. But, I’ll elaborate some more on this whole theory. Sounds familiar, like someone you know? Maybe that someone is yourself? Then, yeah that’s how you’re a snowflake. “Someone who believes they are as unique and special as a snowflake someone hypersensitive to insult or offense, especially a young person with politically correct sensibilities.” How the flying fuck am I a fucking snowflake?ĭictionary definition of a Snowflake, when used as a slang: Have you ever been called a snowflake? Have you ever been addressed as being from the snowflake generation? Have you ever had trouble interpreting what the fuck does that even mean? If your answers to the above questions are ‘Yes’ at least twice, then, guess what? You’re a fucking snowflake from the snowflake generation!
