Despite the evidence to the contrary, we still firmly believe that there’s hope for humankind. Though we’re not gonna lie, it temporarily becomes quite hard to believe that when you’re faced with so many stories of mind-boggling entitlement on social media.
To show you what we mean, Bored Panda has scoured the internet for some of the very worst Venmo request stories. From people shamelessly begging for money (just because they’re bored) and asking for refunds for bad dates to miserly family members demanding you pay for staying over, this is just the tip of the iceberg of Truly Awful Behavior.
Scroll down for a peek into what unfiltered greed looks like, Pandas. Got any similar Venmo or other cash app stories to tell? Drop by the comments to warn everyone else. Meanwhile, as you’re scrolling down, try to remember that the majority of people are kind and decent. At least… we hope.

For those of you Pandas who might not be aware, Venmo is an American mobile payment service. It was founded all the way back in 2009 and has been owned by PayPal since 2012.
In short, the app (and others like it) is meant for peer-to-peer transactions and makes digital payments easy and smooth.

#6 She Did Pay Because She Worked With The Person And Wanted To Avoid The Drama

It also makes the hassle of splitting a dinner bill or the cost of going to the cinema among family and friends way easier. You send out a Venmo request for a specific sum and they forward you the money on their phone.
Roughly 70 million people in the US use Venmo. Sounds pretty straightforward, right?

The issue here is that with the rise of digital payments and transactions, the entire dynamic of how people approach money subtly shifts.
If the entries in this list are anything to go by, people begin viewing money as something more intangible than if e.g. we’d be using cold hard cash or lengthier bank transactions via our computers. Which may lead to some pretty shameless behavior in some cases.

#12 For An Early Birthday Present

For instance, learning about the woman who stole $2,000 from a guy at a bar was appalling.
Meanwhile, seeing how brazen other people are begging for small sums of money just boggles our minds. No matter how much time you spend on social media, you’ll still stumble on something that surprises you. And not always in a good way.

#14 Beggar Randomly Came Up To Me And Drew A Portrait That Looked Nothing Like Me
Then he goes on to tell me stories. I feel bad for him and I give him $5 on Venmo for his effort. Day later, he refunds that and asks for more.

#15 It Was A Group 20 Miler. We All Had Assigned Beverage/Snacks To Bring After Finishing. He Was The Only One Who Venmo’d Everyone After

There have always been and will always be entitled people in the world, we’re not naive.
But with the rise of the internet, social media, and smartphones, all of this nasty behavior becomes more and more apparent. It would have been far less noticeable in the past.

#18 Venmo $20 Or So For A $10 Meal

On the one hand, seeing all of this can be demotivating, forcing you to consider that the future might not be all that bright if we continue on the current trajectory.
On the other hand, it becomes far easier to call out such entitled behavior—which is exactly what some people are doing.

#21 Take Advantage Of People’s Superstitions

Smithers recently published a report where they found that digital currencies are becoming more and more popular in society.
For instance, in the United Kingdom, the use of cash has dropped substantially, from 21% in 2016 to 12% in 2020. Meanwhile, in developing economies, the share of adults making digital payments rose from 35% in 2014 to a whopping 57% in 2021. The world is going digital.

Some people are very worried about the world slowly going cashless. Some feel that institutional trust isn’t enough: currencies also need to be backed up by tangible assets.
In the past, that would have been precious metals like gold and silver.
Alas! Times change and more and more people are embracing a fully digital way of life. Which is (arguably) better for transparency and convenience, but it also means that your movements and transactions are far more regulated than some would like. It’s a delicate balance between convenience and independence.

Meanwhile, when all transactions are logged in a (metaphorical or very real) digital spreadsheet, you might argue that the question of ‘value’ becomes a very important one to raise. How much are your wages and savings really worth if some central bank can inflate the money supply? Do you really own as much as you think you do if you can’t take out all of your savings whenever you want to?

#30 They Post Their Venmo Code At Least Once A Week, And From The Amount They Post On Snapchat They Definitely Have Time For A Job

One thing’s for certain, though: digital payments aren’t going the way of the dodo any time soon. So Venmo responsibly and try to avoid becoming entitled like some people! Don’t let money (either its lack or desire for it) distract you from life’s real priorities like family, generosity, travel, and all the other things that your heart yearns for.
