The most annoying thing people do when sending messages that are too demanding or entitled on WhatsApp is making excessive or urgent demands without considering the recipient's time, availability, or current obligations. Examples include:

1. **Immediate Responses**: Sending messages that insist on an immediate reply, such as, "I need this right now!" or "Why haven't you responded yet?" without regard for your schedule.

2. **Unreasonable Expectations**: Requesting favors or actions that are disproportionate or unrealistic, like, "Drop everything and help me with this," especially if it's not an urgent matter.

3. **Assumptions of Availability**: Acting as if you should be available at all times, such as, "You should have been online to see my message," or "I'm disappointed you didn't respond sooner."

4. **Lack of Appreciation**: Not acknowledging or appreciating the effort or time required to fulfill their request. For example, "You didn't get back to me quickly enough; this is unacceptable."

To handle these types of messages:

1. **Set Clear Boundaries**: Politely communicate your limits regarding availability and response times. "I'm currently busy with other commitments, so I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

2. **Manage Expectations**: Address their demands by setting realistic expectations for when you can respond or fulfill their request. "I'll be able to look into this by [specific time]. Thanks for your patience."

3. **Express Your Needs**: If the demands are frequent or overbearing, express your need for more balanced communication. "I appreciate your understanding that I might not always be immediately available."

4. **Redirect if Necessary**: If the demands are unreasonable or persistent, redirect the conversation or suggest other solutions. "If this is very urgent, you might consider [alternative solution] while I address it."

By setting boundaries and managing expectations, you can handle demanding or entitled messages in a way that maintains respectful and balanced communication.
