Does saying “GIMME” instead of “May I have…” mean someone feels entitled?

Depends on context, tone of voice, and setting.


If someone was seemingly busy or in a rush, and said “gimme the pen?” in a quick tone of voice, I wouldn’t say it’s entitled.


If someone says “gimme that!” in a sharp or whiny tone of voice, I’d say it sounds a bit bitchy or entitled lol

Depends on the situation and context, but 'May I have' is always more polite in any situation.

If that’s not bad enough, how about when someone wants something from you they don’t even phrase it as a question! For example, you’re minding your business smoking a cigarette…Someone walks up to you and says, “Yo…lemme get one of those cigarettes bro!” Slowly I turn……

'Gimme' is just abrupt. However, it depends on HOW it is said. Said with humorous overtones it could be quite endearing.

no it means, that person hasn't been raised properly with manners

[Tiptoetamm]

I think so I always say please and thank you. It's just polite

[Iron_Man]

Kids say that you just have to teach them how to say things properly

[gabby100]

More like bad manners..
