Word for someone who expects things on a plate (2025)

HI
Trying to find the word that describes people who expect things without working for them almost as if it's their divine right. It was a word used by Judge Judy on her show shown today (14th March) in the UK to describe a young 15 year old male who had stolen her mothers car and let his friend drive it who then wrecked it by ending up in some chaps back garden. The lad had already been done for burglary and drug taking at 15 and showed no remorse.
It was a quite unusual word but very appropriate in this context. I know I should have written it down.
Please note that this is not meant to result in a list of synonyms as the word required is very specific to those who, as mentioned, think they have right to 'things'.

Entitled? added text to make this ten characters long

I cannot think of a better verb than 'to claim' : 'a demand for something as rightful or due'.

Entitled was the word that came to my mind, although I don't find it "a quite unusual word." Also, "a sense of entitlement" is a well-known phrase.

Yes, but reading the story, I believe that 'claim' also cover the meaning of deceit and not having a basis, more like a right / pretense asserted without foundation.
It is what I have thought on the spur of the moment regarding the text and the characters.

The OP is "Trying to find the word that describes people who expect things without working for them almost as if it's their divine right." That would suggest an adjective to me. I'm not sure how you plan on using "claim" in this context.

Just 'claimable'. Anyway, I thought of a verb / noun (one's claim on something) not of an adjective.
I do not intend to argue here.
I wonder what does 'Divinity' have to do with 'deceit'? To me 'entitled' is too 'nice' and closer to real events than 'claim'. But it is not my thread to debate nor my language to fully understand it.

'Freeloader' is a good description of someone who knows what they are doing, what I am seeking is a word where someone thinks they have a right to things and not just 'freeloading' - in truth we are in the realms of a sociopath really.

An interesting term for this is “relative deprivation.”
