Update: All it took for 30-year-old Michael Rotondo, who refused to leave his parent’s home, to attract an employer was to unabashedly share his lethargy with the world. According to ABC News, Villa Italian Kitchen sees something in Rotondo they believe would make a good addition. And because Rotondo may clearly need convincing to enter the working world, they’ve even offered him a starting bonus. White privilege does some really amazing things.

Original story: Just when we thought white male entitlement couldn't take on any additional forms, white America has laughed in our face yet again. A Syracuse judge's court ordered eviction was reportedly required to get 30-year-old Michael Rotondo to move out of his parents' home.

According to The Post-Standard of Syracuse, the unemployed man ensured that despite his parents plea for him to get out of their house wouldn't go down without a legal battle.

So that's exactly what he got.

In a case that took 30 minutes to hear, New York Supreme Court Justice Donald Greenwood told Rotondo that it was time for him to leave his family's home. Despite Rotondo admitting that his parents had asked him to move out multiple times before, he said that he wasn't ready and felt he didn't have to.

Rotondo came to court ready with legal research (shoutout to Google) that he used to argue he was entitled to six months to leave. While Judge Greenwood applauded his research, he reportedly corrected Rotondo by pointing to an appellate court decision ruling that family members don't get special treatment absent rare circumstances.

The back-and-forth between the judge and the defendant continued as Greenwood called Rotondo's demand for six more months "outrageous." Rotondo's rebuttal was that the judge's eviction order was just as "outrageous."

“Michael, here is $1,100 from us to you so you can find a place to stay,” TIME reports his parents, Christina and Mark Rotondo, wrote in a Feb. 18 letter. They suggested he sell his stereo, some tools and any weapons he may have to earn money.

“There are jobs available even for those with a poor work history like you,” the letter reads. “Get one — you have to work!”

In court, Rotondo made it clear that he lives in a bedroom, not his parents' basement. And despite providing the roof over his head, they do nothing else for him. He does his own laundry, provides food for himself and has a business that he won't give much info on.

"My business is my business,” he said.

At the end of the hearing, Rotondo told reporters that he would continue to fight this.

Although this sounds like something from a movie that would likely star Will Ferrell, this is real life and real entitlement.
