The idea that one has a right to be given something which others believe should be obtained through effort.
Politicians cut welfare and raise taxes but their own sense of entitlement leads them to award themselves huge pay increases and enormous pensions for a few years' work.

A mental disorder shared largely by inner city residents. Symptoms usually include the following:
1: Usually desires to live month to month living off a welfare check without looking for work.
2: Usually panhandles around banks and downtown areas anyone they see (especially caucasians) for money under their warped belief that caucasians owe them everything for the past and present.
Panhandler: Sir, can you give me a dollar?
Me: You have the sense of entitlement disorder!

A user of Facebook who becomes irrationally irritated when certain details of one of their Facebook Friend's accounts is not visible to them. Often a bizarre, almost arrogant sense of self-entitlement leads from at first a general feeling of being perturbed, to an outright delusional belief in the their right to have access to whatever information they want. This is often an affliction of Facebook users who have not yet come to terms with the fact that privacy settings are in fact a personal prerogative, not an obligation. It is also usually coupled with the arrogant belief that everyone should use Facebook the way they do, usually for the self-promoting purposes they are comfortable with, as though different peoples' preferences and reasons for using social networking are irrelevant. The delusion is itself not often a problem, but if the delusion persists, it can manifest in aggressive behaviour, harassment, and unexpected general rudeness.
Katie got so mad at me, and sent me a really rude blunt message when she found out she couldn't write on my stupid Facebook wall! I hardly know her ... who does she think she is? I think she has Facebook Sense of Entitlement Delusion or something.
