There's also something in the nature of Unlawful Imprisonment or whatever it's called for preventing her from leaving when she wanted to. And if she wanted to be petty, unlawful destruction of private property (the thing she never got to finish eating).
Any time someone has said that when I was waitresses or working retail, I always said "Oh you say it, but you don't mean it" or "Don't threaten me with a good time."
@@SaiyanSweetheart45Don't threaten me with a good time is my go-to response. I once got asked how I had a job by a really nasty customer. I looked him dead in the face and asked him how he was married.
We need gangs of sassy kids stationed where Karens hang out. I had someone call the family home to speak with my dad about the family store. I told them my dad had died several years ago, and the store had closed several years before that. "No, you are wrong. I was in the store last week and talked to him." "He's my dad. I'd know if he were still alive. I was by his bedside when he took his last breath." "But, but, but...."
You know what you should do when a customer tries to lie about an employee swearing? You should be like “finally. We’ve been trying to get them to swear for months now and you managed to do it in a few minutes. What’s your secret?”
And we all know what would happen in America if you literally ripped anything out of a cops hands. That's right you're the brand new owner of a pair of shiny bracelets.
the school system where I live, all the crossing guards are civilian for the police dept (I used to be one) while we had no power, messing with us was the same as a messing with a cop. Had a teacher interfere w/ me one day, tried to send a 5 yo diagonally through a insane intersection instead of following me. She was off school grounds when she did it, so outside her jurisdiction. One call to involve the school board, the dept and CPS for wanton endangerment of a child
"I've never been to this place and I'm specifically going out of my way to tell you that I'm not going to come here." This doesn't come across as a threat in most people's eyes.
That college student accosted at the park should have screamed the moment the stalker grabbed her the first time. WAY too nice and even in the post sounded apologetic for her own behavior. Always press charges against a Karen; always.
Actually what she did is against the law in many states/countries. You are interfering with a traffic guard, each state has its own laws, tbh that Karen should have been reported to police for her actions since she put the children at risk. The fact she couldnt tell the difference between yellow and orange can also be problematic since such colors are made up of green and red, so if she cant tell that difference, what's she like with traffic lights.
@@Ryanthusaractually the reason that ALL traffic lights in the US and Canada at least, if not the entire world, red is on top on vertical lights, and on the left on horizontal is so that colour blind people know what light is lit
Hi everyone! You should never tell any of these crazy people where you work. OP should have been smarter and not told that woman where she could be found later, huge mistake.
If I come across one of these Karens in the wild my loaded responses are 1) a “no!bad!” as if they are a dog, or 2) start acting as if they are elderly and very confused “are you ok? Do you need me to call 911? Is there a caretaker here with you?”
Story 1 - LOL I love that kid! Karen being told off by a little kid! Love it. Too bad a police officer wasn’t around when Karen took OP’s sign. (We have cops at our school when school’s out)
The old man with the server: nah, I would've clocked him the second he grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go. The only conversation he would've been having would be with the ER doc and the police.
Story #2: when that daffy old lady said she won't patronize the restaurant for her 60th birthday party, OP (just to really rub it in) could've dropped to her knees, raised her arms and said "Thank you, oh Lord, for thy great deliverance! " . What can I say, I have a nutty sense of humor at times, I suffer no fools gladly.
I am colorblind. If I were in this situation (from Karen’s side), and felt like had to intervene I’d probably just ask if the person I’m talking to is part of the construction crew of now. Even that aside; how could Karen see someone directing children across streets and immediately think “ahh, a construction worker I can berate!”
Honestly OP in the third story should have called to cops for assault. He would have gotten out of it with his money, but it'd be funny to see him cuffed for a short period of time.
Yes, please allow me to fire my employee, advertise the open position, interview candidates and pick one, then train them in so you'll maybe, possibly, perhaps book a one-time party in our establishment. That's definitely how things work.
I was concerned as to why she was there; it’s not the staff’s job but they could have asked if she needed help. Old world pubs were often a place where people went because they couldn’t afford heating (or cooling) at home, if they had one. Maybe she was desperately hoping to see the father…
@@ShadowTaipanThat is one of my pet peeves. I have a friend who I lived with a few years and so many times we would argue about something and she'd tell me that I told her something that I didn't. When I'd tell her that is not what I said she would double down and say it was. That used to make me so angry. Don't tell me what I said; I know what I said because I'm the one that said it.
Story 1: Kids have no filter. Story 2: Why do people track down peoples' actual place of work to complain about them not helping them outside of their actual work place and hours? Story 3: OP should've cried "rape" or suchlike. Technically she was assaulted by that man. Story 4: Who in their right mind would take their sleeping baby in a pub and then complain in a loud voice about the conversation levels? Story 5: Karen deserved to be taken away by the police.
Story 2: It's impossible to overestimate humanity's penchant for pettiness. Some people just won't be satisfied until they "win" the argument and they will track down their prey until they've got their "win condition" satisfied. In this case, it was "get this lazy employee fired because she's not psychic and could know what I wanted just by staring at her." Story 3: Yeah. In an ideal world, creeps getting grabby would be scared off by women making a scene. In many places though, the one making a scene is the one who gets punished, regardless of the reason, especially when dealing with a rich douche who thinks the entire world loves hearing about his fishing stories and gets grabby when he's not tended to hand and foot. THERE'S A REASON why he thinks that way, as he learned it's true growing up. Story 4: It's rare, but it happens. I once worked fast food and when I asked a client in the drive through what they wanted for the drink in the happy meal, the driver shouted at me, then complained to the manager that "the shouting scared his kid." AND I GOT WRITTEN UP FOR IT, because the a-hole demanded I be fired on the spot for scaring his kid, even though there was no crying kid!
OP in story 3 shoud've just stood up and left, smh. Really strange how the meek and easily intimidated are always the "victims" of these Karen encounters.
@@goldiemum3991 OP has a right to sit on a bench in a public park without being harrassed by the customer of a place she USED to work at. He was an absolute creep and he would've been wearing that yohurt OP had.
There's one story I saw on another channel where there was a Karen who had a good relationship with the employees at an electronic store. She runs into one employee in the electronic _section_ in a _different_ store, just incidentally, ya know? Thing is, she asks the employee for help picking out something electronic, and even _after_ he tells her, and she _does_ understand, that he doesn't work there and he's busy and if she needs help from _him_ specifically, she can come in tomorrow to the store he works at. She throws a tantrum, demands that he help her "right now!" and he just leaves. Later, that very next day, she comes into the store the employee works at, and complains to the manager about the whole thing, and when the manager tells her there's nothing he can do and the employee has no obligation to help her _when off the clock and at other stores_ the Karen leaves. To the manager and employee's surprise though, she _comes back_ with _every single thing that she had ever bought at that store_ and demanded a refund and return on the items because, here I quote "I refuse to support a store with such bad customer service!" Eventually, with a lot of screaming and yelling from her when she was told she _can't_ get a refund on all of those items, she was escorted out by security. It's weird, but people of a certain type, such as Karens, legitimately seem to think one or both of the following: 1. That the expectation to "help people out" is some sort of iron-clad contract. Like, they view it as the same as if you were injured, and a doctor is on sight, the expectation is that they would help you. Because you _have_ the ability to help, or at least they think you do, you are _obligated_ to help. 2. They think being an employee means that anyone who isn't, namely themselves, has the right to _make_ you help them. Essentially, they see being helped with something by other people as a right, not a courtesy. Hence why they're called Entitled People.
@@foodieyumiko5593 Some people aren't quick to confrontation. Especially when there are others in the space. OP probably figured he wouldn't try anything with others there.
The manager should have asked that Karen that is trying to get OP in trouble from their job and have her trespassed so that she makes sure she keeps her promise I'm not coming back.
S1: I used to work for the water department, and Karens like that were a nightmare. They completely ignore traffic direction, and traffic control, going wherever the heck they want and nearly killing people while they're at it.
@@Rylosalex Maybe once, but that was because they called us out for a fire, and someone was stupid. Luckily, they called the wrong sewer people, because it was a drainage sewer. Less flammable gasses.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 They'll definitely sue for the injuries. Seen them try for wrecking cars when they ignore traffic control. It's always a waste of money on their end, but still.
8:37 - someone lied to my hubby’s boss, saying he was cussing him out, being mean, and saying inappropriate things to him. *And this was while he was at work too!!!* But, his boss said, “Him? You’re lying. He’d never do that.” 🤣 lol My hubby’s the only person that doesn’t cuss at work. 🤭 lol *I love my hubby!!! 🥰😘❤️❤️❤️*
That reminds me of a situation where I was getting obscene phone calls.. From a blocked number... It was at odd times of the night so even though it was from some crazy woman (that annoyed my wife the most).. I had to get a special feature on the phone (it was a looong time ago), they stopped calling for a while... Then early one morning she called and all I said was "Thank You" and hung up. I blocked that number, and we lived happily ever after. Furthermore (given I have a Landline) there is a challenge feature with most companies, it eliminates the Robo calls. Thanks for Listening, and Keep up the Good work!
School crossing story: I'd have held that big red sign right in front of her face to get het to stop talking, then explain life to her. My wife was once a crossing guard where we used to live. But she didn't work for the schools. Her boss was a POLICE LIEUTENANT! The crossing guards were run by the city's police department. Yeah, I realize this isn't true everywhere. Too bad. IDWHL story: Yeah, never give a Karen a clue as to where you actually do work. Too many of them will attempt to make your life/job there miserable. After telling her you didn't work at the store, you should have just walked off. Let the store manager deal with her, that's part of his job. Restaurant story: I'd have smashed the remainder of my yogurt in his face on his first grab and called the police if he kept on grabbing me. Pub story: OP, I think you should have written a "letter to the editor" type story to the local paper about the EM and her kid in a pub. BTW, did she ever return? Jerky story: Yeah, sometimes you have to go thru everything on a shelf to find what you want or to discover they are out of it. Doesn't make you an employee.
When OP was told by staff that she'd been there for hours and only had 1 soda water, it got me thinking that maybe she was homeless or something? I'm not excusing her behavior but it could be the reason behind it.
This is a horribly bad idea. Just put a huge headphone or some ear covers. Putting a baby on a soundproof room could actually get you miss out on their cries when you somehow have to leave that room, like when nature calls...
Story 3: I can't even. "I assaulted you & destroyed your food, now apologize to me for thinking you know more about your own life than I do, because I'm a rich d-bag!" It was next to a college campus -- the police should have been called & rich fish-story a-hole should have had charges pressed for his actions...
My hometown elementary school crossguard once tried to stop an ambulance with lights and sirens flashing so kids could cross. Parents had to drag her kicking and screaming off the road so the ambulance could get their patient to the hospital. She was screaming something about the kids crossing had to come first.
An "I don't work here" from earlier today (Easter Sunday) (summary of events) - I got off work at 11a, after having my 8 hour shift working at a grocery store. Stopped by Dollar Tree on my way home to pick up a few odds and ends for painting projects I'm working. I paint ttprg miniatures for a hobby, and while I am a beginner I have a lot of fun with it. Anyway... I get to the check out line and as usual there's the one cashier and one stocker working. No problem. There's no line or anything. At this point I should note, I'm still in uniform, which consists of a dark green t-shirt (one of the older shirts from 2017 timeframe), blue jeans, and non-slip shoes. I also have a gray undershirt because I have a condition where my body can't regulate temperature. So it could be a warm day and I'm still wearing a hoodie. In this instance, I am wearing a gray hoodie for the mentioned reason above. Dollar Tree employees usually wear green shirts, a brighter green. There's a little old lady at the front of the line. She's got a walker and 1 bag. She politely asks the cashier, "Could I leave my bag here while I pull my car around? I can't carry my bag and walk at the same time." She says this while indicating her walker. Now at the grocery store where I work, this sort of thing happens all the time. And we usually will have an employee take the cart and help load customer's car. And if no one is available, we let customers leave their cart or bags near the check out and bring there car around. No issues. Not every store is like this, I know. I'm overhearing everything while running through checklist in my head, do I need to get brushes, pick up paper towels, did I need to grab anything else. Then I hear this exchange. Cash - cashier (employee) S - stocker (employee) OL - Old Lady Me - me Cash: Absolutelt not. You figure it out. It's not my job to help you to your car. Remember OL asked if she could leave her stuff inside and bring her car around to the front then grab her bag. Not asking employees to help her out to her car. I snap to attention because of the noise. Even pulling my earbud out to hear better. Then I feel a rough jab at my left shoulder. So I turn to see what was up. S: You need to help that lady out to her car. Cash is busy at the register. And I'm stocking shelves. *she proceeds to grab my items off the belt and throw them into a go back cart* And don't even think about shopping on the clock. I mentally sigh. "I don't work here." *pointing at the grocery store name and logo on my shirt* "And don't touch me ever again." My gaze does narrow at this point. As I hate being touched, even by people who I know or am close to. Trauma from childhood. S immediately starts to back pedal but doesn't offer an apology. She throws my stuff back on the belt, breaking one the glass vases I was buying for my mom. I shake my head and grab the items then drop them in the go back cart. "Hey, you forgot these." I point down at the items and walk outside. I didn't feel much like shopping at that location anymore. I see OL struggling with her bag and trying to walk to her car. And me being how my single mom raised me, walk over and ask if she'd like assistance to her car. Me: Excuse me, ma'am, would you like some assistance? OL: Oh, no, no, it's alright. I already caused enough trouble. She says this while still trying to carry her bag. Me: Ma'am, I insist. *I offer out my left arm to take her bag* OL: Oh thank you. *carefully hands me her bag, which I carefully take and carry with both hands* We're talking as we walk to her car. And she happens to see my shirt and grocery store name. She asks me which one I work at as there's four locations in town. I tell her and ask her which car was her's. We get to her car and I get her bag situated in the backseat before turning to leave. OL: Wait. Me: *I pause and turn to face her again.* Yes, ma'am? OL proceeded to try to hand me a $5 for helping her. I decline and wish a great rest of the day and happy easter. She continued to try to give me the $5 to which I declined again and told her "If my mother was shopping and needed help, I would someone would help her." And that was just how I was raised. Help others if you can and it doesn't put you in harm. I go to my car and get in. Watching to ensure OL was good to go. After she pulled out from the parking lot, I went over to a nearby game store and browsed ttrpg minis.
The most entitled thing about Karen's in these situations is they can't fathom how someone who works at a store could also be a customer at the same store.
I noticed the underlying theme in the majority of these stories is that it was women who were obviously taught to be too polite even when they were uncomfortable. The old man who sat too close to the university student and just grabbed her arm when she stood up to leave and pulled her back down. All she had to do was snatch her arm back and draw attention to the situation. But no she allowed herself to be manhandled. Seriously women need to stop being polite because this is what makes them easy targets. You can be respectful without allowing people to treat you like property.
On one hand, I agree, but you also have to understand that sometimes when women stand up for ourselves, we get physically assaulted by an angry man. There's a fine line we try to balance on, between defending ourselves and trying not to provoke violence by having the "audacity" to say no. In this case, I think OP should have screamed something like "LET GO OF ME!" which might have brought other people running over to help.
I agree. We have been taught to put up with too much bs and never be rude. Heck, I tell people exactly how it is. Won't sugar coat anything for anyone.
As a man sometimes you're just startled by the sheer nuttiness of the situation. Crazy people always act like whatever they're doing is the most reasonable thing in the world. It's hypnotic
Crossing Guard: I did this for a few years, but we are not school staff, we actually are part of the police dept. Had a member of the schools security come tell me that I was not to allow any of the kids to cross the road. Huge Mistake, Our Big Boss called her boss. She tied it a few weeks again and I showed her my phone when she went to say something. If I make a call, she would be arrested on the spot. Also reported a teacher tell a Kindergartner to run diagonal through the intersection to her mom and not to listen to me. The school/PD/Child Protective Services were all called for this stunt
Story 5: What I want to know is how Karen thought OP was stoned. OP was just fixing up a messy section, something that a number of people, employee or not, do just because nobody likes a messy section, and somehow that convinced Karen that OP was stoned. Fellas, is it high to want things tidy in a store?
Be kind to one another, especially those that are serving you. They provide your food, clothes, shoes, medicine, and much more. Without them, your life would be so much more difficult.
If Karen was stone colorblind, she might mistake the yellow and orange (all gray). But my husband is color blind and those are two colors he sees, as Yellow and brown. Even yet, he wouldn't be that stupid. Old geezer on the park bench would have been wearing that yogurt if he grabbed me. Karen's are just out of control adult toddlers who don't have adult supervision.
@@JamesDavy2009 I didn't say it was an excuse. I was simply saying that there are medicalconditionsin which the person CANNOT act rationally, CANNOT use their brain. Not will not, full on can not.
Matthew has a career in either law or journalism S4. Its a flipping pub, there is no noise police in the pub during daytime trading. Karen is delulu. Boot applied. Id have written my story about her
This is exactly something my late stepmom would have said while becoming more and more unhinged that I wasn't immediately telling her what she wanted to hear or caving in to her over inflated sense of self-importance. I swear that frigid witch was a totally miserable person. The only thing that seemed to bring her Joy was making other people as miserable as her as her by tearing them down. I once told her, that the only time she wouldn't be a frigid ice queen was when she was cremated. She lost her mind.
Heh, just the other day I tried to tell a lady at the supermarket that some customer had stuck a cooked chicken from the deli in the chips aisle. She told me she didn't actually work there. I realized she must work for some company that does stuff for the store and not the store directly. I pointed out that her uniform looks like theirs and she had to admit, it did. I asked her if she'd ever met a Karen like the ones you describe here, who wouldn't believe she didn't work here. She said she'd been doing this for 18 years, she'd seen it all.
Story 4: I can't help but wonder what's going on at home that sitting bored at a pub with her baby for hours with just a sodawater looked like a good alternative. And surrounded by happy people and tasty smells - if that's all she had, I'm guessing she couldn't afford to buy anything. A woman at the end of her rope maybe?
I think you're reading too much into it. This just reads like another case of an entitled parent expecting everyone to bend over backwards for, cater to, put them on a pedestal and Grant them special privileges solely because they made the life choice of having a child. I've known people like this and they think everyone should bow down and kiss their butt just because they have kids. They're absolutely miserable with the life choice they made and envy anyone who still has the freedom, the money and the time to themselves because they didn't have kids. If that isn't the case, then it might just be another instance of a stuck-up, holier than thou Karen trying to police the actions of others. As soon as she let the words fly that she was going to write a bad review, I would have quipped back: “I'll be sure to look for the one with all the typos and grammatical errors.”
First story: that idiot woman could have gotten people hurt especially children, when she grabbed op’s sign, op needs to report that lady’s action towards the principal, plus parking near a construction is not only illegal but it puts her life at risk as well not too mention she is causing a major inconvenience to the construction workers as well. Second Story: So the lady stalked op, manager should have said “and we don’t accept customers who stalk our staff, it would be wise you don’t come back because we will get police involved, if you do” Plus never show you work badges to people like that. Third Story: get police involved, because the guy assaulted her, plus it sounds he was creeping on her. So definitely get police involved. I would have slapped him if I were op in this situation. Fourth Story: my question is, why did that lady bring her baby into a pub last time I checked, minors are not supposed to be in pubs. Reminds when parents bring in a sleeping baby to a gym or a theme park. Don’t bring a baby where there is going to be a lot of noise. Fifth Story: what an absolute idiot that lady was acting like a spoilt toddler by knocking things off the shelves like that. Someone should’ve told her “act your age not your shoe size!”
Story 1 - If that Karen were colorblind, and knew it, she wouldn’t use perceived color as the basis for illegally parking, assaulting a worker, or threatening to get her fired by reporting to the principal. Every colorblind person I know is contentious enough never to make major decisions on something’s color, because they don’t want to get made fun of, like this Karen was. They’d been bullied to some extent their whole lives, and really don’t want to give people an excuse to laugh at them even more.
Why was that Jerky Karen so fixed on preventing the so called pot head employees from sharing one bag of jerky!? Like lady, that's not the only bag of jerky, nor is that the only snack that the "pot head employees" can eat. I swear some Karens get hyper focused on one thing, and it's like they have blinders, and nothing else exists or matters but their line of thinking.
Story two the manager should have recorded the lies to get the poster fired that would be classified as defamation and with the intent to cost her the job would show financial damages open and shut case.
Story 4....who the hell brings a BABY to a pub!? If you want a quiet place for your baby to rest, i dunno maybe take them home?? Tuck them in bed and make sure their room is quiet?? Am i the weird one here?? I, a father of 2, couldn't possibly be weird right?
You, Sir, are a good parent and have common sense. Unfortunately, most modern parents lack basic manners and politeness but also seemingly don't care about anyone else. They put themselves on a pedestal and over inflate their importance solely because they made the life choice of having children.
The worst beasts (I do not consider them to be human) at the worst place at the worst time to give everyone the worst experience... Houston, we have a Karen problem!
Story 3: Yeah... That man would regret that if he tried to manhandle me the first time, he'd be broken if he tried it a second. There's more than one reason I took up Martial Arts.
I'd have screamed so loud that 1) He'd probably go deaf from it and 2) I'd draw attention to us, that he'd have no way to defend himself. Let's see how he'd try to lie his way out of that one.
@@Galaxy1001DFor real! From the described behavior alone, she reminds me of my late stepmom. She always had to pull focus with one of her holier than thou ranta, be in the spotlight, get the last word and have all eyes on her even when she was totally wrong. I do not miss that awful woman AT ALL.
Story number two: Imagine being so completely arrogant and self-absorbed that you can't admit when you're wrong that you go and stalk a person at their actual job. Also even more egotistical, threatened to never patronize said establishment as if it's supposed to be some kind of trump card. I was raised to respect my elders, because usually age equals wisdom. In this woman's case, I think it just means she's been stupid for a very long time.
Great stories, Fluff, but uh… how long are you planning to use the snowy background? It's Spring now and you've been using it for 3 whole month now. I'm not complaining, just noting
I never fully trust the stories when people are accosted by Karen's and the OP claims they keep saying "ohh I'm ever so sorry' and Sir and ma'am. No, you didn't maintain a butler-esque subservient manner while being screamed at.
Story 3, doesn’t matter who it is, I if anyone grabs me and pulls me back, I would have called security or police to get attention from the surrounding people.
at this point if I run into one of these situations where someone doesnt listen when I say I dont work at a place, I'm gonna just cup my hands around my mouth and loudly inform them that I don't work there
4:15 “Lady! She’s in YELLOW. ARE YOU BLIND? They are in ORANGE.” Yes, Matthew. This lady is, in fact, Expectationally Blind. This is when one is holding onto her Expectations so tightly that she cannot discern visual clues. She cannot understand the information that she sees.
The college girl who had quit 6 months prior should have gotten campus security involved immediately because that could have gone him trespassed from that campus, and considering there was physical battery/assault (different definitions in different jurisdictions) on a young female with him restraining her from leaving multiple times wouldn't have done well in the courts, a d he'd be dumped by most, if not all, of his rich friends
As a guy who has to wear high vis clothes for work i have to give a point to Karen in the first story. Unless it had the company name on it, my company dont care about colors as long as its high vis
Last store: I can guarantee you, if I were the manager in that situation, I'd have gone full rage mode and told Karen "Shut up and get out before I throw you out myself!" or something along those lines. Either that or go the comedy route and ask her why OP doesn't have a pot on his head.
IDK but I'm pretty sure if you assault either a person on a construction crew or a crosswalk there's going to be major consequences I particularly think over $1,000 fine at most and jail time at worst if it's a serious assault that results in a person dying.
Story 5: the thing is they are so confident they are in the right and so high on their own self righteousness to ever even entertain the thought that they could ever be arrested, that's why they can't just leave with their tail between their legs and go somewhere and lick their wounds they have to double or triple down by destroying store displays. Bc god forbid they ever admit they are wrong and have to do the walk of shame so they make more of a scene in order to save face. It really is astounding just how many toddlers are walking around disguised as fully grown adults. 🙄🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
When Karen said she’d never been there but she was gonna make reservations and now she won’t bc she never wants to eat there, I’m positive I wouldn’t have been able to hold back from saying “thank god” and making sure she heard me. And I’m not insulting a customer, because she’s made it damn clear she isn’t one!
S4: If theres one thing I cant stand is kids in a pub, specially if babies are crying. I, and I would imagine, pretty much everybody else goes there for relaxation and a few drinks with friends, maybe a nice meal in peace, not to listen to somebody's kids playing up. It's SOOOOO fucking annoying, it actually makes my inner 'death stare' come out. Then off course when you live next to a daycare centre who do NOT teach the kids not to scream that high pitched blood curdling scream, the last thing you want to hear is more of the same if on a rare time you go to a pub. It's so selfish to others to bring babies/kids to a pub just because they cant get a sitter...STAY HOME THEN unless you do!!!! It's ok if your kids actually behave themselves, but lets face it,they dont. They get bored and then the bullshit starts. Now some of the pubs now have actually put in play areas for the kids, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Stop doing that as well!!! These are adult venues, not areas for children. They are supposed to be the place to GET AWAY from them, not to have to watch what you say, or how loud you say it in case you wake up the sleeping babies or teach the kids new words. Then you get the parents who just let their kids carry on running around the place or cry and do nothing about it. If your baby starts to cry, GO OUTSIDE WITH IT UNTIL ITS STFU!!!! and if you cant control your kids if they are running around the pub, GO HOME!!!!
@@JamesDavy2009 A lot of rules and regulations these days I guess, its both good and bad, but still shouldnt bring kids and babies to the pubs. Theres normally friends or family that will help out, and sometimes they dont. The luck of the draw for those ones. It's not like it used to be that for sure.
Can help you with the color-blind question: people who are color-blind don't have problems with yellow and orange. With the exception of about .01% of all colorblind people who actually see b/w, the majority of color-blind people (who are predominantly MALE) have issues with red and green, moving into the blue spectrum. Yellow and orange are clear.
3:46 I mean, good on her for redirecting her complaints once she figured it out, but still, seems a bit crummy for the situation. Edit: 3:55 NVM, forgot that part. Edit #2: 4:34 Oof, forgot about that too. I doubt that's the case though considering she ran away like the kid had threatened her or something, but hopefully if she is legitimately colorblind, she's nice about mentioning it to the principal if she goes forward with that).
Old dude who was gripping the ex-waitresses arm should be arrested for assault...
He's lucky she didn't slap him.
Especially with Witnesses around....Would make him spend some of his $$$ and maybe retrain him.
Unfortunately there’s no fixing stupidity in some people. Sad but true, when some people refuse to learn better manners and respect toward others.
There's also something in the nature of Unlawful Imprisonment or whatever it's called for preventing her from leaving when she wanted to. And if she wanted to be petty, unlawful destruction of private property (the thing she never got to finish eating).
@melkiorwiseman5234 It's called unlawful detainment. She should have called police on that diseased douch nozzle
Whenever somebody says “I’ll never come back here,” why isn’t the default response “really, you promise?”
It’s the same in retail, we don’t care if an entitled witch customer doesn’t come back. It would be much quieter without them.
Any time someone has said that when I was waitresses or working retail, I always said "Oh you say it, but you don't mean it" or "Don't threaten me with a good time."
@@SaiyanSweetheart45Don't threaten me with a good time is my go-to response. I once got asked how I had a job by a really nasty customer. I looked him dead in the face and asked him how he was married.
Better yet is "Godd riddance!".
@@iononcantomascrivo You. I like you. 😂
We need gangs of sassy kids stationed where Karens hang out. I had someone call the family home to speak with my dad about the family store. I told them my dad had died several years ago, and the store had closed several years before that. "No, you are wrong. I was in the store last week and talked to him." "He's my dad. I'd know if he were still alive. I was by his bedside when he took his last breath." "But, but, but...."
"Am I just out of touch? No…it's the children who are wrong." -Principal Seymour Skinner
You know what you should do when a customer tries to lie about an employee swearing? You should be like “finally. We’ve been trying to get them to swear for months now and you managed to do it in a few minutes. What’s your secret?”
Karen is lucky that crossing guard worked for the school. One we had was a cop.
And we all know what would happen in America if you literally ripped anything out of a cops hands. That's right you're the brand new owner of a pair of shiny bracelets.
@@ItsAcheron I mean, that is assault
@@ItsAcheron And facedown on the sidewalk as the cop calls it in! 😅 Hope it's a hot summer day!
Doesnt matter if she works for the school or police, in many states in the US what the Karen did was interfere with a crossing safety officer.
the school system where I live, all the crossing guards are civilian for the police dept (I used to be one) while we had no power, messing with us was the same as a messing with a cop. Had a teacher interfere w/ me one day, tried to send a 5 yo diagonally through a insane intersection instead of following me. She was off school grounds when she did it, so outside her jurisdiction. One call to involve the school board, the dept and CPS for wanton endangerment of a child
"I've never been to this place and I'm specifically going out of my way to tell you that I'm not going to come here." This doesn't come across as a threat in most people's eyes.
Same threat as saying, "i'm a vegan but i can eat you alive"...
Per Judge Judy: "Don't threaten me with a good time."
8:15 Oh no, somebody who has never spent any money there is going to continue to not spend any money there. The horror!
Love Matthew's straight answer about the difference in colored vests. Kids are generally honest and I was giggling as I read this story. 🙂🦋
“I’M NOT BEING LOUD!!!!” Dumbledore says calmly.
That college student accosted at the park should have screamed the moment the stalker grabbed her the first time. WAY too nice and even in the post sounded apologetic for her own behavior. Always press charges against a Karen; always.
Lady in the first story actually put people at risk by doing that.
No kidding, also I can understand her confusion though she tried to double-down until the student said something. She was colorblind and deaf....lol
And the Stupid B got schooled by a young kid! Classic! 😂
Actually what she did is against the law in many states/countries. You are interfering with a traffic guard, each state has its own laws, tbh that Karen should have been reported to police for her actions since she put the children at risk. The fact she couldnt tell the difference between yellow and orange can also be problematic since such colors are made up of green and red, so if she cant tell that difference, what's she like with traffic lights.
@@Ryanthusar Orange is yellow and red, green is blue and yellow. But I do see your point.
@@Ryanthusaractually the reason that ALL traffic lights in the US and Canada at least, if not the entire world, red is on top on vertical lights, and on the left on horizontal is so that colour blind people know what light is lit
Story 2: Funny how some people use "I'll never come to this business again" as a threat when the put-upon employees are all hoping it's a promise.
Hi everyone! You should never tell any of these crazy people where you work. OP should have been smarter and not told that woman where she could be found later, huge mistake.
Yeah...
(This is Story 2 BTW)
The manager and girl should have just called out "Thank you!" when she left saying she wouldn't eat there.
If I come across one of these Karens in the wild my loaded responses are 1) a “no!bad!” as if they are a dog, or 2) start acting as if they are elderly and very confused “are you ok? Do you need me to call 911? Is there a caretaker here with you?”
Yep never tell people where you work or let them follow you home. Its pretty hard to get away from these people when they know where to find you
I'd have directed her to another aisle on the far side of the store, then continued about my business. 😅
Story 1 - LOL I love that kid! Karen being told off by a little kid! Love it. Too bad a police officer wasn’t around when Karen took OP’s sign. (We have cops at our school when school’s out)
The old man with the server: nah, I would've clocked him the second he grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go. The only conversation he would've been having would be with the ER doc and the police.
Story #2: when that daffy old lady said she won't patronize the restaurant for her 60th birthday party, OP (just to really rub it in) could've dropped to her knees, raised her arms and said "Thank you, oh Lord, for thy great deliverance! " . What can I say, I have a nutty sense of humor at times, I suffer no fools gladly.
My petty brain went: “60th? Don’t you mean 6th?”
She said 60th in the post, but mentally, I think you're right.
I am colorblind. If I were in this situation (from Karen’s side), and felt like had to intervene I’d probably just ask if the person I’m talking to is part of the construction crew of now.
Even that aside; how could Karen see someone directing children across streets and immediately think “ahh, a construction worker I can berate!”
Yeah, most people would ask nicely if X worked in group Y and would apologise and/or move on when told no.
Honestly OP in the third story should have called to cops for assault. He would have gotten out of it with his money, but it'd be funny to see him cuffed for a short period of time.
Yes, please allow me to fire my employee, advertise the open position, interview candidates and pick one, then train them in so you'll maybe, possibly, perhaps book a one-time party in our establishment. That's definitely how things work.
The only one shouting is the mom of the baby and I think she needs to get kicked out of the pub and banned for her troubles
I was concerned as to why she was there; it’s not the staff’s job but they could have asked if she needed help. Old world pubs were often a place where people went because they couldn’t afford heating (or cooling) at home, if they had one. Maybe she was desperately hoping to see the father…
Story 3: Out of touch people, amirite? I would've yanked my arm away if someone tried to grab it, no touchy!
"YOU TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT I SAW?!" while telling someone a conversation that they had.
I would have screamed as soon as he touched me the FIRST time. Time for a restraining order!
He may have had Alzheimers or something. Somtimes old people don't know what's going on.
Or slapped his hand. I'm GETTING away. No one call hold me down😤
(I'm just a scaredy person😅)
@@ShadowTaipanThat is one of my pet peeves. I have a friend who I lived with a few years and so many times we would argue about something and she'd tell me that I told her something that I didn't. When I'd tell her that is not what I said she would double down and say it was. That used to make me so angry. Don't tell me what I said; I know what I said because I'm the one that said it.
Story 1: Kids have no filter.
Story 2: Why do people track down peoples' actual place of work to complain about them not helping them outside of their actual work place and hours?
Story 3: OP should've cried "rape" or suchlike. Technically she was assaulted by that man.
Story 4: Who in their right mind would take their sleeping baby in a pub and then complain in a loud voice about the conversation levels?
Story 5: Karen deserved to be taken away by the police.
Not technically, literally. She was literally assaulted. And potentially battered.
Story 2: It's impossible to overestimate humanity's penchant for pettiness. Some people just won't be satisfied until they "win" the argument and they will track down their prey until they've got their "win condition" satisfied. In this case, it was "get this lazy employee fired because she's not psychic and could know what I wanted just by staring at her."
Story 3: Yeah. In an ideal world, creeps getting grabby would be scared off by women making a scene. In many places though, the one making a scene is the one who gets punished, regardless of the reason, especially when dealing with a rich douche who thinks the entire world loves hearing about his fishing stories and gets grabby when he's not tended to hand and foot. THERE'S A REASON why he thinks that way, as he learned it's true growing up.
Story 4: It's rare, but it happens. I once worked fast food and when I asked a client in the drive through what they wanted for the drink in the happy meal, the driver shouted at me, then complained to the manager that "the shouting scared his kid." AND I GOT WRITTEN UP FOR IT, because the a-hole demanded I be fired on the spot for scaring his kid, even though there was no crying kid!
OP in story 3 shoud've just stood up and left, smh. Really strange how the meek and easily intimidated are always the "victims" of these Karen encounters.
@@goldiemum3991 OP has a right to sit on a bench in a public park without being harrassed by the customer of a place she USED to work at. He was an absolute creep and he would've been wearing that yohurt OP had.
There's one story I saw on another channel where there was a Karen who had a good relationship with the employees at an electronic store. She runs into one employee in the electronic _section_ in a _different_ store, just incidentally, ya know?
Thing is, she asks the employee for help picking out something electronic, and even _after_ he tells her, and she _does_ understand, that he doesn't work there and he's busy and if she needs help from _him_ specifically, she can come in tomorrow to the store he works at. She throws a tantrum, demands that he help her "right now!" and he just leaves.
Later, that very next day, she comes into the store the employee works at, and complains to the manager about the whole thing, and when the manager tells her there's nothing he can do and the employee has no obligation to help her _when off the clock and at other stores_ the Karen leaves. To the manager and employee's surprise though, she _comes back_ with _every single thing that she had ever bought at that store_ and demanded a refund and return on the items because, here I quote "I refuse to support a store with such bad customer service!"
Eventually, with a lot of screaming and yelling from her when she was told she _can't_ get a refund on all of those items, she was escorted out by security.
It's weird, but people of a certain type, such as Karens, legitimately seem to think one or both of the following: 1. That the expectation to "help people out" is some sort of iron-clad contract. Like, they view it as the same as if you were injured, and a doctor is on sight, the expectation is that they would help you. Because you _have_ the ability to help, or at least they think you do, you are _obligated_ to help. 2. They think being an employee means that anyone who isn't, namely themselves, has the right to _make_ you help them.
Essentially, they see being helped with something by other people as a right, not a courtesy. Hence why they're called Entitled People.
3. Story - just shout "get your dirty hands off of me now - don't touch me again"
And then leave, why did OP stay so long?🤔
@@foodieyumiko5593 Some people aren't quick to confrontation. Especially when there are others in the space. OP probably figured he wouldn't try anything with others there.
@@Arcane_Route_66 That makes sense
@@Arcane_Route_66 Bad logic, also maybe people should learn how to kick the ass of another person, especially old rich people.
Yell Stranger Danger!!!!!!
The manager should have asked that Karen that is trying to get OP in trouble from their job and have her trespassed so that she makes sure she keeps her promise I'm not coming back.
When a 5yo asks if you're blind or just stupid, you know you messed up.
S1: I used to work for the water department, and Karens like that were a nightmare. They completely ignore traffic direction, and traffic control, going wherever the heck they want and nearly killing people while they're at it.
Weren't any of them arrested? Or cuaght?
@@Rylosalex Maybe once, but that was because they called us out for a fire, and someone was stupid. Luckily, they called the wrong sewer people, because it was a drainage sewer. Less flammable gasses.

@@Rylosalex They'd try to bash the barriers down with their cement heads.
@@melkiorwiseman5234 They'll definitely sue for the injuries. Seen them try for wrecking cars when they ignore traffic control. It's always a waste of money on their end, but still.
Story 3: I would’ve started screaming to get attention. That’s beyond entitlement
8:37 - someone lied to my hubby’s boss, saying he was cussing him out, being mean, and saying inappropriate things to him. *And this was while he was at work too!!!* But, his boss said, “Him? You’re lying. He’d never do that.” 🤣 lol
My hubby’s the only person that doesn’t cuss at work. 🤭 lol
*I love my hubby!!! 🥰😘❤️❤️❤️*
Story 2: Not enough people tell Karens “thank you” after they threaten to never come to their restaurant 🙄
That reminds me of a situation where I was getting obscene phone calls.. From a blocked number... It was at odd times of the night so even though it was from some crazy woman (that annoyed my wife the most).. I had to get a special feature on the phone (it was a looong time ago), they stopped calling for a while... Then early one morning she called and all I said was "Thank You" and hung up. I blocked that number, and we lived happily ever after.
Furthermore (given I have a Landline) there is a challenge feature with most companies, it eliminates the Robo calls.
Thanks for Listening, and Keep up the Good work!
That rich dude would find out quickly that I'm a martial artist. That's my purse! I don't know you!

Story 3: OP should have just yelled out load. An older man making unwanted physical advances on a collage student is not gonna get let off the hook
Years ago, when I was learning English, I though the F bombs were Farts...
School crossing story: I'd have held that big red sign right in front of her face to get het to stop talking, then explain life to her. My wife was once a crossing guard where we used to live. But she didn't work for the schools. Her boss was a POLICE LIEUTENANT! The crossing guards were run by the city's police department. Yeah, I realize this isn't true everywhere. Too bad.
IDWHL story: Yeah, never give a Karen a clue as to where you actually do work. Too many of them will attempt to make your life/job there miserable. After telling her you didn't work at the store, you should have just walked off. Let the store manager deal with her, that's part of his job.
Restaurant story: I'd have smashed the remainder of my yogurt in his face on his first grab and called the police if he kept on grabbing me.
Pub story: OP, I think you should have written a "letter to the editor" type story to the local paper about the EM and her kid in a pub. BTW, did she ever return?
Jerky story: Yeah, sometimes you have to go thru everything on a shelf to find what you want or to discover they are out of it. Doesn't make you an employee.
If your baby can't sleep through normal noises, you should build him a soundproof room at home and keep him in THERE during his naptime!
When OP was told by staff that she'd been there for hours and only had 1 soda water, it got me thinking that maybe she was homeless or something? I'm not excusing her behavior but it could be the reason behind it.
My friends played rock music at a lower volume every night from the get go with their infant. We could have card night with no issues
This is a horribly bad idea. Just put a huge headphone or some ear covers. Putting a baby on a soundproof room could actually get you miss out on their cries when you somehow have to leave that room, like when nature calls...

Story 3: Dude would of found out real quick what having capsaicin in his eyes feels like if he grabbed my arm like that.
My hometown elementary school crossguard once tried to stop an ambulance with lights and sirens flashing so kids could cross. Parents had to drag her kicking and screaming off the road so the ambulance could get their patient to the hospital. She was screaming something about the kids crossing had to come first.
Just--wow!
First of all, you don't ask for help by just staring at someone. Use your words....and be polite about it. Lol
Karens are incapable of being polite. They think they should only be on the receiving end of politeness
Many of these crazy Karens are stoned or drunk while they are screaming about others.
Or high on their own entitlement and ego
An "I don't work here" from earlier today (Easter Sunday) (summary of events) -
I got off work at 11a, after having my 8 hour shift working at a grocery store. Stopped by Dollar Tree on my way home to pick up a few odds and ends for painting projects I'm working. I paint ttprg miniatures for a hobby, and while I am a beginner I have a lot of fun with it. Anyway...
I get to the check out line and as usual there's the one cashier and one stocker working. No problem. There's no line or anything. At this point I should note, I'm still in uniform, which consists of a dark green t-shirt (one of the older shirts from 2017 timeframe), blue jeans, and non-slip shoes. I also have a gray undershirt because I have a condition where my body can't regulate temperature. So it could be a warm day and I'm still wearing a hoodie. In this instance, I am wearing a gray hoodie for the mentioned reason above. Dollar Tree employees usually wear green shirts, a brighter green.
There's a little old lady at the front of the line. She's got a walker and 1 bag. She politely asks the cashier, "Could I leave my bag here while I pull my car around? I can't carry my bag and walk at the same time." She says this while indicating her walker.
Now at the grocery store where I work, this sort of thing happens all the time. And we usually will have an employee take the cart and help load customer's car. And if no one is available, we let customers leave their cart or bags near the check out and bring there car around. No issues.
Not every store is like this, I know. I'm overhearing everything while running through checklist in my head, do I need to get brushes, pick up paper towels, did I need to grab anything else. Then I hear this exchange.
Cash - cashier (employee)
S - stocker (employee)
OL - Old Lady
Me - me
Cash: Absolutelt not. You figure it out. It's not my job to help you to your car.
Remember OL asked if she could leave her stuff inside and bring her car around to the front then grab her bag. Not asking employees to help her out to her car.
I snap to attention because of the noise. Even pulling my earbud out to hear better. Then I feel a rough jab at my left shoulder. So I turn to see what was up.
S: You need to help that lady out to her car. Cash is busy at the register. And I'm stocking shelves. *she proceeds to grab my items off the belt and throw them into a go back cart* And don't even think about shopping on the clock.
I mentally sigh. "I don't work here." *pointing at the grocery store name and logo on my shirt* "And don't touch me ever again."
My gaze does narrow at this point. As I hate being touched, even by people who I know or am close to. Trauma from childhood. S immediately starts to back pedal but doesn't offer an apology. She throws my stuff back on the belt, breaking one the glass vases I was buying for my mom. I shake my head and grab the items then drop them in the go back cart. "Hey, you forgot these." I point down at the items and walk outside.
I didn't feel much like shopping at that location anymore. I see OL struggling with her bag and trying to walk to her car. And me being how my single mom raised me, walk over and ask if she'd like assistance to her car.
Me: Excuse me, ma'am, would you like some assistance?
OL: Oh, no, no, it's alright. I already caused enough trouble.
She says this while still trying to carry her bag.
Me: Ma'am, I insist. *I offer out my left arm to take her bag*
OL: Oh thank you. *carefully hands me her bag, which I carefully take and carry with both hands*
We're talking as we walk to her car. And she happens to see my shirt and grocery store name. She asks me which one I work at as there's four locations in town. I tell her and ask her which car was her's.
We get to her car and I get her bag situated in the backseat before turning to leave.
OL: Wait.
Me: *I pause and turn to face her again.* Yes, ma'am?
OL proceeded to try to hand me a $5 for helping her. I decline and wish a great rest of the day and happy easter. She continued to try to give me the $5 to which I declined again and told her "If my mother was shopping and needed help, I would someone would help her." And that was just how I was raised. Help others if you can and it doesn't put you in harm.
I go to my car and get in. Watching to ensure OL was good to go. After she pulled out from the parking lot, I went over to a nearby game store and browsed ttrpg minis.
These Karens don't deserve politeness.
The most entitled thing about Karen's in these situations is they can't fathom how someone who works at a store could also be a customer at the same store.
I noticed the underlying theme in the majority of these stories is that it was women who were obviously taught to be too polite even when they were uncomfortable. The old man who sat too close to the university student and just grabbed her arm when she stood up to leave and pulled her back down. All she had to do was snatch her arm back and draw attention to the situation. But no she allowed herself to be manhandled. Seriously women need to stop being polite because this is what makes them easy targets. You can be respectful without allowing people to treat you like property.
On one hand, I agree, but you also have to understand that sometimes when women stand up for ourselves, we get physically assaulted by an angry man. There's a fine line we try to balance on, between defending ourselves and trying not to provoke violence by having the "audacity" to say no. In this case, I think OP should have screamed something like "LET GO OF ME!" which might have brought other people running over to help.
I agree. We have been taught to put up with too much bs and never be rude. Heck, I tell people exactly how it is. Won't sugar coat anything for anyone.
My older sister does boxing she would hit any guy the moment they tried to grab her, seen it happen before.
@@Summertime-ye3wgGood for her! 👍
As a man sometimes you're just startled by the sheer nuttiness of the situation. Crazy people always act like whatever they're doing is the most reasonable thing in the world. It's hypnotic
Crossing Guard: I did this for a few years, but we are not school staff, we actually are part of the police dept. Had a member of the schools security come tell me that I was not to allow any of the kids to cross the road. Huge Mistake, Our Big Boss called her boss. She tied it a few weeks again and I showed her my phone when she went to say something. If I make a call, she would be arrested on the spot. Also reported a teacher tell a Kindergartner to run diagonal through the intersection to her mom and not to listen to me. The school/PD/Child Protective Services were all called for this stunt
Story 5: What I want to know is how Karen thought OP was stoned. OP was just fixing up a messy section, something that a number of people, employee or not, do just because nobody likes a messy section, and somehow that convinced Karen that OP was stoned.
Fellas, is it high to want things tidy in a store?
I am perma-stoned, but I'd do it sober, too.
16:02 - "You're an IT!"
That's a new one
I'd have snapped back with, "No, Itt is my cousin!"
🎵Here comes Snowy CottonFluff...Making all the Karens huff...🎵
Be kind to one another, especially those that are serving you. They provide your food, clothes, shoes, medicine, and much more. Without them, your life would be so much more difficult.
If Karen was stone colorblind, she might mistake the yellow and orange (all gray). But my husband is color blind and those are two colors he sees, as Yellow and brown. Even yet, he wouldn't be that stupid. Old geezer on the park bench would have been wearing that yogurt if he grabbed me. Karen's are just out of control adult toddlers who don't have adult supervision.
S4: Uh... lady, it's a pub. If you don't want your baby exposed to a pub environment, maybe, IDK, don't take it to a pub?
The mom in the pub story honestly made me wonder if she was suffering from post-partum. It can strip you of the ability to reason.
There's no excuse to not use your brain.
@@JamesDavy2009 I didn't say it was an excuse. I was simply saying that there are medicalconditionsin which the person CANNOT act rationally, CANNOT use their brain. Not will not, full on can not.

5th grade me would also have told that Karen off. I love kids who blurt out the obvious like that.
Matthew has a career in either law or journalism
S4. Its a flipping pub, there is no noise police in the pub during daytime trading. Karen is delulu. Boot applied. Id have written my story about her
Being delulu, cuckoo or nuts is what makes a Karen a Karen.
That third one sounds like he had a glitch in the matrix or the beginnings of Alzheimer’s.
"I'm not being loud"
*saying so very loudly*
This is exactly something my late stepmom would have said while becoming more and more unhinged that I wasn't immediately telling her what she wanted to hear or caving in to her over inflated sense of self-importance. I swear that frigid witch was a totally miserable person. The only thing that seemed to bring her Joy was making other people as miserable as her as her by tearing them down. I once told her, that the only time she wouldn't be a frigid ice queen was when she was cremated. She lost her mind.
Heh, just the other day I tried to tell a lady at the supermarket that some customer had stuck a cooked chicken from the deli in the chips aisle. She told me she didn't actually work there. I realized she must work for some company that does stuff for the store and not the store directly. I pointed out that her uniform looks like theirs and she had to admit, it did. I asked her if she'd ever met a Karen like the ones you describe here, who wouldn't believe she didn't work here. She said she'd been doing this for 18 years, she'd seen it all.
Story 4: I can't help but wonder what's going on at home that sitting bored at a pub with her baby for hours with just a sodawater looked like a good alternative. And surrounded by happy people and tasty smells - if that's all she had, I'm guessing she couldn't afford to buy anything. A woman at the end of her rope maybe?
That's my take. PPD, possibly. Of course, this is England, a civilized country, so she should be able to get some help.
I think you're reading too much into it. This just reads like another case of an entitled parent expecting everyone to bend over backwards for, cater to, put them on a pedestal and Grant them special privileges solely because they made the life choice of having a child. I've known people like this and they think everyone should bow down and kiss their butt just because they have kids. They're absolutely miserable with the life choice they made and envy anyone who still has the freedom, the money and the time to themselves because they didn't have kids.
If that isn't the case, then it might just be another instance of a stuck-up, holier than thou Karen trying to police the actions of others. As soon as she let the words fly that she was going to write a bad review, I would have quipped back: “I'll be sure to look for the one with all the typos and grammatical errors.”
I heard/read this story, but the “she’s in yellow, they’re in orange” actually WAS a kindergarten kid, I THOUGHT…huh.
When that old man grabbed her arm "Jen' should have screamed HELP as loudly as she could.
Story 3: He's upset about yogurt. I would tell him he owes me a pastry.
First story: that idiot woman could have gotten people hurt especially children, when she grabbed op’s sign, op needs to report that lady’s action towards the principal, plus parking near a construction is not only illegal but it puts her life at risk as well not too mention she is causing a major inconvenience to the construction workers as well.
Second Story: So the lady stalked op, manager should have said “and we don’t accept customers who stalk our staff, it would be wise you don’t come back because we will get police involved, if you do” Plus never show you work badges to people like that.
Third Story: get police involved, because the guy assaulted her, plus it sounds he was creeping on her. So definitely get police involved. I would have slapped him if I were op in this situation.
Fourth Story: my question is, why did that lady bring her baby into a pub last time I checked, minors are not supposed to be in pubs. Reminds when parents bring in a sleeping baby to a gym or a theme park. Don’t bring a baby where there is going to be a lot of noise.
Fifth Story: what an absolute idiot that lady was acting like a spoilt toddler by knocking things off the shelves like that. Someone should’ve told her “act your age not your shoe size!”
Story 1 - If that Karen were colorblind, and knew it, she wouldn’t use perceived color as the basis for illegally parking, assaulting a worker, or threatening to get her fired by reporting to the principal. Every colorblind person I know is contentious enough never to make major decisions on something’s color, because they don’t want to get made fun of, like this Karen was. They’d been bullied to some extent their whole lives, and really don’t want to give people an excuse to laugh at them even more.
‘ IM NOT BEING LOUD!!’ Yeah loud mouth your not 😑😑😑. I feel bad for the kid having a loud mouth Karen as a mom
Why was that Jerky Karen so fixed on preventing the so called pot head employees from sharing one bag of jerky!? Like lady, that's not the only bag of jerky, nor is that the only snack that the "pot head employees" can eat. I swear some Karens get hyper focused on one thing, and it's like they have blinders, and nothing else exists or matters but their line of thinking.
Maybe she was thinking of when she was a pothead!!!!
Story two the manager should have recorded the lies to get the poster fired that would be classified as defamation and with the intent to cost her the job would show financial damages open and shut case.
Story 4....who the hell brings a BABY to a pub!? If you want a quiet place for your baby to rest, i dunno maybe take them home?? Tuck them in bed and make sure their room is quiet?? Am i the weird one here?? I, a father of 2, couldn't possibly be weird right?
You, Sir, are a good parent and have common sense. Unfortunately, most modern parents lack basic manners and politeness but also seemingly don't care about anyone else. They put themselves on a pedestal and over inflate their importance solely because they made the life choice of having children.
The worst beasts (I do not consider them to be human) at the worst place at the worst time to give everyone the worst experience... Houston, we have a Karen problem!
Story 3: Yeah... That man would regret that if he tried to manhandle me the first time, he'd be broken if he tried it a second. There's more than one reason I took up Martial Arts.
I'd have screamed so loud that 1) He'd probably go deaf from it and 2) I'd draw attention to us, that he'd have no way to defend himself. Let's see how he'd try to lie his way out of that one.
In story 4 being a new parent is hard but it isn't so hard that it forces people to be assholes
Karen: You're shouting too loud! You're waking my baby!
Me: WHAT??? SPEAK UP! CAN'T HEAR YOU!! (Repeat every time she tries to get a word in edgewise)
@@Galaxy1001DFor real! From the described behavior alone, she reminds me of my late stepmom. She always had to pull focus with one of her holier than thou ranta, be in the spotlight, get the last word and have all eyes on her even when she was totally wrong. I do not miss that awful woman AT ALL.
Happy Easter Dark Fluff & Stevio, & Everyone out in Fluffyland 🐣🐰🐑 🎉😊
Basically saying "I will never play my Karen show at your restaurant" is certainly the silliest power move. Bye Felicia... err, I mean bye, Karen!
Forget terrible 2's the real scary thing is the terrible Karen.
Who never left the Terrible 2's.
@@JamesDavy2009 so sad, but true. 😅
Story number two: Imagine being so completely arrogant and self-absorbed that you can't admit when you're wrong that you go and stalk a person at their actual job. Also even more egotistical, threatened to never patronize said establishment as if it's supposed to be some kind of trump card. I was raised to respect my elders, because usually age equals wisdom. In this woman's case, I think it just means she's been stupid for a very long time.
The rich man sounds like a potential predator.
Great stories, Fluff, but uh… how long are you planning to use the snowy background? It's Spring now and you've been using it for 3 whole month now.
I'm not complaining, just noting
I never fully trust the stories when people are accosted by Karen's and the OP claims they keep saying "ohh I'm ever so sorry' and Sir and ma'am.
No, you didn't maintain a butler-esque subservient manner while being screamed at.
Story 4 - Somebody should have bellowed at her so she'd learn what shouting is, as she apparently is very confused :|
Story 3, doesn’t matter who it is, I if anyone grabs me and pulls me back, I would have called security or police to get attention from the surrounding people.
amazing how they all think their little bit of business is that important. if there was any yogurt left he would have been wearing it
at this point if I run into one of these situations where someone doesnt listen when I say I dont work at a place, I'm gonna just cup my hands around my mouth and loudly inform them that I don't work there
4:15 “Lady! She’s in YELLOW. ARE YOU BLIND? They are in ORANGE.” Yes, Matthew. This lady is, in fact, Expectationally Blind. This is when one is holding onto her Expectations so tightly that she cannot discern visual clues. She cannot understand the information that she sees.
Expectational blindness…that might explain why Karens refuse to read signs.
@JamesDavy2009 Exactly! Refusing to read signs IS one of the symptoms.
Never waste time defending yourself you don’t need to walk away, call cops, press charges
To you, Fluff, and Steveo. I hope y'all have a great and blessed Easter Sunday.
That fifth grader would get a treat the next day if that were me. 🤣🤣🤣
The college girl who had quit 6 months prior should have gotten campus security involved immediately because that could have gone him trespassed from that campus, and considering there was physical battery/assault (different definitions in different jurisdictions) on a young female with him restraining her from leaving multiple times wouldn't have done well in the courts, a d he'd be dumped by most, if not all, of his rich friends
As a guy who has to wear high vis clothes for work i have to give a point to Karen in the first story. Unless it had the company name on it, my company dont care about colors as long as its high vis
Last store: I can guarantee you, if I were the manager in that situation, I'd have gone full rage mode and told Karen "Shut up and get out before I throw you out myself!" or something along those lines. Either that or go the comedy route and ask her why OP doesn't have a pot on his head.
IDK but I'm pretty sure if you assault either a person on a construction crew or a crosswalk there's going to be major consequences I particularly think over $1,000 fine at most and jail time at worst if it's a serious assault that results in a person dying.
Story 5: the thing is they are so confident they are in the right and so high on their own self righteousness to ever even entertain the thought that they could ever be arrested, that's why they can't just leave with their tail between their legs and go somewhere and lick their wounds they have to double or triple down by destroying store displays. Bc god forbid they ever admit they are wrong and have to do the walk of shame so they make more of a scene in order to save face. It really is astounding just how many toddlers are walking around disguised as fully grown adults. 🙄🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Could we get a springtime background? Poor Fluff still in the darn snowstorm.....😢
When Karen said she’d never been there but she was gonna make reservations and now she won’t bc she never wants to eat there, I’m positive I wouldn’t have been able to hold back from saying “thank god” and making sure she heard me. And I’m not insulting a customer, because she’s made it damn clear she isn’t one!
Oh. Hello. Karen. ….point at her nose. And. Laugh. And. Laugh. …laugh louder at every word she says …. Laughter is the best medicine…
S4: If theres one thing I cant stand is kids in a pub, specially if babies are crying. I, and I would imagine, pretty much everybody else goes there for relaxation and a few drinks with friends, maybe a nice meal in peace, not to listen to somebody's kids playing up. It's SOOOOO fucking annoying, it actually makes my inner 'death stare' come out. Then off course when you live next to a daycare centre who do NOT teach the kids not to scream that high pitched blood curdling scream, the last thing you want to hear is more of the same if on a rare time you go to a pub. It's so selfish to others to bring babies/kids to a pub just because they cant get a sitter...STAY HOME THEN unless you do!!!! It's ok if your kids actually behave themselves, but lets face it,they dont. They get bored and then the bullshit starts. Now some of the pubs now have actually put in play areas for the kids, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Stop doing that as well!!! These are adult venues, not areas for children. They are supposed to be the place to GET AWAY from them, not to have to watch what you say, or how loud you say it in case you wake up the sleeping babies or teach the kids new words. Then you get the parents who just let their kids carry on running around the place or cry and do nothing about it. If your baby starts to cry, GO OUTSIDE WITH IT UNTIL ITS STFU!!!! and if you cant control your kids if they are running around the pub, GO HOME!!!!
It makes me wonder if babysitting is a dead profession.
@@JamesDavy2009 A lot of rules and regulations these days I guess, its both good and bad, but still shouldnt bring kids and babies to the pubs. Theres normally friends or family that will help out, and sometimes they dont. The luck of the draw for those ones. It's not like it used to be that for sure.
Ohhhh yellow is my faaavorite color 🫥
Karah I guess that means every time that I go to buy snacks because I’m a gamer that means I’m a pothead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can help you with the color-blind question: people who are color-blind don't have problems with yellow and orange. With the exception of about .01% of all colorblind people who actually see b/w, the majority of color-blind people (who are predominantly MALE) have issues with red and green, moving into the blue spectrum. Yellow and orange are clear.

I mean, good on her for redirecting her complaints once she figured it out, but still, seems a bit crummy for the situation.
Edit:
3:55
NVM, forgot that part.
Edit #2:
4:34
Oof, forgot about that too. I doubt that's the case though considering she ran away like the kid had threatened her or something, but hopefully if she is legitimately colorblind, she's nice about mentioning it to the principal if she goes forward with that).
