Why do people expect everything for nothing?



Answer:
GREAT QUESTION...Usually because they value you, so little. Our time and effort, deserve to be rewarded.
Because they are nothing to start with.
when i buy cereal i expect a free toy.
we dont its just nice when we do get something for nothing cause it feels like weve won something
It boils down to selfishness. When we are selfless, we expect nothing for giving everything.
no idea, but if something is for nothing, there's usually a catch anyway!
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Well if too many people are expecting everything from you without a price, then maybe you're selling yourself short? When people see vulnerability, they go for the throat. Or at least the smart ones do. Let them know you won't give in, and you'll see results!
Because they don't want to work for it. They want it handed to them on a silver platter. Someone has enabled them in the past and they expect to get most things without working for them.
I expect to work hard and pay my own way, except on the Internet, where I expect everything to be a free download. I'm a dot.communist.
becaause they are selfish
It's better not to pay, then you can buy something better with the money you just saved.
Because they are selfish idiot morlocks and the nanny government panders to them somewhat.
your question seems to be entangled in your mental shells of subjectivity. Can you elaborate it in further details. There are dozens of interpretation to that. choose one and i may answer that one for you.
they feel comfortable to do so..
Because we're a pack of greedy humans who rely on the generousity & good will of others.
Too many people think that the world owes them a living.

As a teacher I see a disturbing amount of kids who expect immediate reward for doing exactly what they should be doing anyway... unfortunately they often get it.

People need to learn that reward is rarely immediate, and they need to have patience in order to appreciate it properly.
Not all people. Most understand that you get out of life what you put into it. You reap what you sow. God bless****
Maybe you meant.."why do SOME people expect everything for nothing?"

If this site teaches ANYTHING, its `do not tar everyone with the same brush`.
its inborn
they were not made to work when they were children and everything was just gave to them
Because they never learn from experience!
missing moral values such as gratitude that their parents didn't teach them.
And I see it too often in FunQA.coms, there are people asking for homework help for an entire chunk of questions, requests for free programming code for their projects (large scale ones), getting a valid answer that most likely helped them but didn't bother to elect a best answer etc etc.

People are selfish, and most of the time stupid enough to think that this sort of behaviour would encourage people to go on and continue being taken advantage of.
People, especially here in America, have come to expect things to be handed to them because we've spoiled ourselves. We've turned ourselves into what we are, I don't know why. Not everyone has fallen into the trap though ;)
People are inherently lazy. We complicate our lives with burden so we are forced to work.

If we did not need to work, the world would be full of lazy people sleeping, drinking in bars, constantly eating, and lounging on the beach like whales. Everyone would be touching each other because they would be so fat, no elbow room would be left. We would congregate and possibly mate with sea lions. Imagine the offspring.
It's a learned behavior.
