I agree, but cars are the perfect booster for this behaviour: people is isolated from outside, protected with an heavy metal box that can move fast, scare people, act as a weapon, take a lot of public space. Without cars and car culture, the entitlement would be much weaker, and less dangerous

@tensorpudding I suspect the rise in entitlement is not entirely unrelated to our use of cars.I've certainly noticed driving increases my impatience and frustration that other people are in my way, whereas walking in a crowded space is quite different, even when I have to slow or move aside for other people@DrCake
