Well..

If a janitor were to come by my desk mid day and say. "That's not how you use a trash can. You must follow a prescribed format for putting things in the trash. I have decided that you are not allowed to use the trash can for 10 days. If I see that you have a co-worker, and they attempt to put trash in like you, I will also restrict their trash privileges for 10 days."

Then yes I would call the entitled.

No matter how drudgy a job is. If you squash people learning, because they can't live up to your standards, you're entitled.

Stack Overflow was never intended to solve every single programming question out there, or to help every single person trying to learn.

You also can't show up to ballet lessons and start swing dancing.

Well your question was apparently so uniquely bad that they recognized it and correctly identified the duplicate by your coworker. So maybe you're just salty because they were right.
