Have you ever come across someone that receives "special treatment" for no apparent reason? It's as if people feel sorry for them so they receive nice things. They don't have to work for things like most people do.

Examples:

1) My coworker (married with children). She does her job and she receives gifts. She whines and complains and she receives gifts. Then she shows me these things that people give her. Yesterday she even commented "he must feel sorry for me."

2) My cousin is divorced with three children. She shares custody with the ex. She doesn't have to work because her boyfriend will work two jobs to support her and her children. He pays her car insurance and everything. She tells me how fortunate she is. She wanted a new phone so her boyfriend bought her one.

3) I know a woman that wanted a corvette so her boyfriend bought her one.

WTF? How does this happen? Is it because they come across as needy?

Today I realized I could treat people like absolute **** and things would be no different for me.
