Chris and negotiation
Due to a severe sense of entitlement, a lifetime of coddling and other factors that are beyond his control, Christian Weston Chandler is horrible when it comes to negotiation.
Chris can't compromise
Negotiation is based on compromise. Both parties must work together in order to find the best possible solution to solve both of their problems in a satisfactory manner. Chris doesn't understand this.
On numerous occasions, Chris has tried to negotiate by either listing a bunch of ridiculous demands or outright refusing to give anything up or do anything at all for that matter. After he makes his case, his mind is "closed on the matter" and he is unwilling to budge.
When he was given his own wiki for free, he demanded that ads featuring homoerotic images were taken down. When that failed, he said that he wanted them to be smaller. When he couldn't have that done, he said that he wanted them to be moved. He wanted to have total control over his ad space even though the owner sold it to Jack Thaddeus. When he tried to make amends with Alec Benson Leary, the acclaimed creator of Asperchu, he demanded that Alec tell his fans to go back to Sonichu. This was after he drew a comic where he broke into Alec's house, stole a dating game of his XBox and freed a group of Rosechus that he implied were the victims of sexual abuse.
Chris is lazy
Many of these scenarios involve Chris actually getting off his ass and doing something. During the Nintendo saga, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Chris must meet him at Nintendo's American headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Chris handled this by making a video where he pretended to come back from Redmond. When he was pressed on the matter, he said that he had no money. When he was asked why he had no money, he said he had no job. When he was asked why he didn't have a job, he said... and so on.
One of the demands Chris faces often is that he sell or throw out some of his toys or games. Despite his claims that he plays with everything in his room, a quick glance at his PSN account shows otherwise. Most of his PSN activity is divided between LittleBigPlanet, God of War 3 and ModNation Racers, which leaves most of his games untouched. Even though he doesn't use the vast majority of the toys and games he owns, he refuses to sell them. This refusal is usually followed up by him saying that he doesn't have the money to do something.

Whenever Chris wants to meet one of his "sweethearts" in real life, he usually wants them to come to him, no matter how difficult such a trip would be. He wanted PandaHalo to come to him despite her living in Australia. He wanted Julie to come to him even though she was supposedly a poor immigrant who couldn't afford a car or busfare. He wanted Kacey to come to him even though she lived in the DC area, which is an hour or so from Ruckersville.
One of the most recent sweethearts, Jackie, was willing to have a relationship with Chris as long as he tried to become a better person. Instead of trying to put in a minimal amount of effort and try to better himself, he decided to end things.
Chris thinks ignoring obstacles makes them not exist
When Chris faces a task including something he does not like, or attempts to claim something that he is not allowed to have (such as a contest), he completely ignores those variables.
When the road to a reward has a sign that bluntly says Chris is not eligible, he will attempt to get the reward anyway, calling those presenting said reward assholes when he fails to acquire it. When Chris has to meet a requirement during a negotiation (such as a deadline), he will explain that he is "working on it" and submit his part of the deal whenever the fuck he wants, well after the deadline.
