A musician shared these outrageously entitled requests to work for free – 7 proper jaw-droppers
In the pantheon of outrageously entitled people trying to get stuff on the cheap – or entirely for free – this thread by musician Jamie Mathias – @JamieMathias on Twitter – is surely a prime exhibit.
Jamie put together a thread of ‘outrageous requests … for personal songs from people who really don’t understand how businesses work’.
And these 7 are proper jaw-droppers.

You can read the whole thread here – there’s lots more where these came from – and here’s just one more, maybe our favourite of the whole lot.
17. How could I forget this gem! One of my favourites. Someone who was quoted and invoice £1050 and mistakenly read it (twice) as £10.50 and that’s what he put in my account. I must think I’m Ed Sheeran or something. I particularly enjoyed the shock when I sent £1.05 back pic.twitter.com/uCBFmsyfne
