being blind, I've had my share of karen's just straight up ignoring very obvious messages and just calling you all kinds of shit for no other reason than entitlement. happy to hear that karen got arrested
I hear you!! I still have some sight, but limited & need to use a White Cane in Public. Anymore by the time I’m out and almost done what I’m doing, usually shopping, I’m so over & done w/getting yelled at & why? All due to what’s happening on their damn Phone is far more important than their surroundings, they get tripped flying by the Cane, yell at me & I am so sick of it!! Also terrified my wrist is going to get broken one of these times too. So…Yeah…I hear you big time!! Hang in there!!!
I'm made to wear sunglasses everywhere that is lit with sunlight or florescent lights due to a very serious migraine disorder that gives me high level photophobic eyes. I have to out my disability to just about everyone just so I don't get people like that telling me how awful of a person I am for not looking them in the eyes. These people are the absolute worst.
@@mr.r5261 I dated a girl who was blind. She knew how to keyboard, like kids learn in school. You should not look at the keyboard anyways. She also used a screen reading program. For when she needed to know which text box she was clicked into. Her phone was set to accessibility mode. We texted all the time. She was a developer of tactile astronomy. She loved space and seeing the planets. Just as she read books with her fingers, she had these pictures of the planets and you could feel to see them. Jupiter had all of the color gradient as different layers and she could see what it looked it. I hope you were just faking being an entitled person. We all do you making fun of Karens. However it might be best not to say things like that to another member of the community.
I heard that and immediately said "Dabney!!" (out loud, good thing I'm alone right now, scolding a video...lol). It's his own fault for using his real name in a couple of vids, he is right between my kiddos in age, too bad he couldn't hear me.
My toddler is hearing impaired and I'm learning sign language and teaching him what I learn. If someone treated him like that, they would be getting choked out.
I feel this. My little cousin is hearing impaired too but luckily could get the implants early in life and there's no way I'd let someone treat her, or anyone like her, like that
Covid lengthened the amount of time we've had to wait for a proper consultation and surgery. His pre-surgical consultation is this upcoming monday. It wont fix everything but with hearing aids, he will finally hear some of what he is missing, and the sign we learn will serve him well.
@@francescofranchino7097 sucks that covid is delaying his procedure but I'm glad he can get it done. This world can be rough and there's alot more to be done but I'm super grateful we now live in a time where we can do more to help the disabled and either damn near circumvent the disability or at least alleviate some of the more difficult aspects
the OP didn't knew much of what's happening,till the cops asked if he wanted to press charges,which he did... the problem that many disabled people suffers from is the fact that they get abused and they couldn't do much about it,unless someone stood up for them...
@@teslagod7221There are way too many stories of police escalating force and abusing people who were deaf or disbaled using the “they didn’t comply” argument to justify their bully level incompetence
In response to Rslash comment about supporting spouses: there’s a huge difference between being supportive and being an enabler. If it’s come to the point where your spouse is taking advantage of you, you’re an enabler. If you’re doing things for your spouse, but they wouldn’t do the same for you, the marriage ends up being toxic, not healthy.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you saying the victim being taken advantage of is at fault. That's like blaming a girl for getting raped cuz of what she wore
@@hair4022 I think there's a world of difference between blaming a rape-victim and somebody who enables toxic behavior in their spouse. Granted, there are a lot of extenuating circumstances and whatnot, but still...
@@Kelaiah01 I thought an enabler was someone who enables the bad behavior of someone else towards other people, what you described isn’t an enabler, it’s someone to close to the situation to see reason.
For the plane story, I thought “if she’s paid for a ticket and finds that she can’t use it, especially when travelling with a baby, I’d be pissed too.” But decided to just double check it. If they’re dependents, then I’m guessing it’s more of a first come first served thing. But then why have a ticket? Seriously, if it’s a first come first served thing, and I’d been told that there were enough seats for us, I’d be really annoyed about that. But I wouldn’t be asking people to get out of their seats though.
i know i dont think shes really entitled like thank you for your service buttt this is my seat and your not entitled to it because of that and it sounds like the airline kicked her off even tho she had a paid ticket.i respect soldiers but they should have been treated like this just because of their service.
Yeah is this an American thing that soldiers get to trump paying customers? I'd be passed at that, sounds like her only crime was making too much of a scene. She was traveling with a baby for all we know she could have been connecting from just as long a transit as the soldiers. at least 2/5 buttholes for their entitled asses too
Thank god someone else thought of that. I hate the immediate label. Travelling with a baby is very stressful, and when someone is sitting in the seat I paid for, I'd be even more stressed out. The flight attendants could have just taken her to another seat. Or arrange something.
I used to work at a pet store with someone who was almost entirely deaf, completely on one side, and the amount of people who treated her like garbage because she was "ignoring" them or being "lazy" was absolutely baffling She was actually our dog trainer for the obedience classes and the people who brought their dogs to her absolutely loved her! I still get people asking where she went (she quit, understandable since people are horrible), but other random customers were absolutely awful to her even though we had signs posted in our area and she wore a pin/lanyard that said she was deaf
Can confirm. Totally deaf on one side, which is more impairing than you think. If it is noisy, I cannot hear anything on that side, I also cannot tell where sound is coming from, so I got accused of ignoring people.
I'm on the Autism Spectrum and have sensitive hearing. There are times when a customer ask me a question but there's loud sounds I need them to repeat. My brain needs a moment to compute. I also know ASL so I can talk with people from the deaf community.
Friend's uncle use to live with her family. He had Downs Syndrome. He loved the police and always was asking anyone with a uniform on to arrest my friend. Once the water police knocked on the door and tried to get the person to arrest friend. Anyway, friend asked the real police to show up at uncle's birthday party. Small town/suburb and knew the uncle. So the police showed up, fake arrested the Uncle, gave Uncle a ride in the police car, and just made his birthday. Sadly the uncle passed away last year.
So I have a similar story. My bro loves me and his entire extended family and everyone in general (PSA: he Down syndrome too!). So since he lives in India and the time zones for Aussie and India are different we usually arrive in India in 12 o’ clock around somewhere and it takes super long too take there. In the car are my cousins (only my sis cousins. My bro never comes cause he got strict sleeping time). So I go to their house around 2 and I sleep and the next I surprise him with myself. It was once on his birthday and he was so happy that he ran and hugged me until I went to the guest room lol. Just wanted to share!
Does purple hair, tallish, slim, wearing orange-tinted glasses with hazel eyes count? Oh. No, that's just one of my friends who is partially deaf and wears a hearing aid for one ear. They can hear without it, just only in one ear, and even with a hearing aid, she can't hear if two people are speaking at once.
Fire Mom was just pissed that her “I win” turned into “who are you?” She was all set to righteously chew the firemen out, presumably having won some concession from the manager, but got back to see the firemen had co-opted her entire party and snatched her win from her. Not only does she not get to yell, but the firemen are the heroes and she can’t make a move against them.
I kinda relate to that story because my dad is deaf from the same side where he's blind and I hate when people does that when they yell because if she yells and she is rude my dad will have a three time bigger scream and his voice is like knives piercing you're ears
Karen: Saying something probably rude Op: Can't hear Karen: *So you have chosen, death* NC, The Managers and The Police: *I'm gonna have to stop you right there*
I kind of feel like that last one wasn't a Karen's. My mother, a Veteran, would have flipped her shit if someone was in her seat and refused to GTFO. Even if it was active military. Karen isn't a Karen because the Plane was over booked. Did she call him something rude? Or? If the story was from her side, it would have been "This big Army dude was in my seat, so I told him to move and he just stared at me. I repeated myself, and he just kept staring. So then I raised my voice, only for the stewardess to ask me to leave. She asked me to leave when I told her he was in my seat!! I don't understand why they get to stay, in my seat, that I payed for, but I get kicked off the plane???" You can respect someone without being a doormat. Most vets hate being given special treatment.
Honestly I agree, from the woman's perspective it was her seat, which she had paid for, so yeah... Anyone would be angry if someone was in their paid seat and refused to leave.
@@zekromtrainer1222 but how was she entitled she payed for that seat just because your military doesnt mean you are better then other people obviously respect service men and women but I personally believe you shouldnt be given special privileges for being in the services as you choose to go in it
While the first story was probably a terrible experience and the Karen deserved her comeuppance (seriously, what kind of d-bag do you have to be to go after a deaf person?!), I feel that the story would be more at home in r/talesfromretail, because I don’t think OP ever mentioned if the Karen had any kids with her.
@@FoundaPeanut D bags come in every political flavor. For each a-hole trump supporter, you can find an equal number of a-hole biden supporters. The reverse is equally true. The fact that this d bag was wearing a MAGA hat is incidental and says much more about OPs world view than anything else.
My favorite part is where Karen’s try to excuse their insane behavior with “but I thought she worked here!” Or “but I didn’t know she was deaf, and thought she was ignoring me”…as if that excuses assault! As thought it would be acceptable to assault an employee or to assault someone who is “ignoring” you…. Imagine being that small minded, entitled, petty, angry, and frankly violent. Yikes!
That first story reminds me of the time when I worked with a deaf man at Disney. I remember seeing this family waving their arms behind him and the father approaching him like he wanted to punch the man. I ran in between them and stopped him seconds from attacking my coworker. Even after explaining to them, "he's not ignoring you, he's deaf!", they still said that "it doesn't matter, he still should respond when I talk to him." Like, HE CAN'T HEAR YOU! Their question was a dumb one too. I can't remember what it was anymore, but one of those typical, learn to read a map questions.
The last story, yikes... if she paid for the seats, she IS entitled to them. Imagine what its like for an exhusted mother with a kid go on a flight just to get met with two unresponsive men on her seat and get kicked out even when she bought the tickets. And rslash saying he wouldnt even support his wife in this situation?? Your wife is stressed and they arent letting her on the seats SHE bought and you would just go "idk who she is" just bc its military? Embarassing
From the info I have gathered on the type of flight the OP was on, the military often books a whole plane with a airline or a private company to shuttle a large group of servicemen. The planes usually are not full, so the airline is allowed to book regular passengers traveling to one of the stops for free or a reduced price (some tickets get as low as $20). The screwed up part is that some airlines will overbook and sometimes double book seats and if that happens, the military personnel get priority. I wouldn’t call the woman a Karen, but I would say that the airline screwed her over.
@@DemonRaticate if that's the case, it's the airline's fault. That doesn't make her entitled. Maybe her reaction was a bit over the top, but she's still right to be upset.
@@almostkatie8461 Agreed. Everyone there was a bit in the wrong, but the majority of the blame goes to the airline. Everyone was stressed and tired and while OP was technically in the “right” it doesn’t mean morally he was clear.
@@DemonRaticate The thing is she is still entitled IMHO. when buying a rotator flight ticket for the reduced fee it is abundantly clear that the ticket only applies to flying the route, but a specific flight. And that you may not find out if you can actually fly on a particular flight on that rotator route until you get to the flight.
There’s literally not an issue with the last story. Sure, if everything OP said was true then the mom could have handled it better, but assuming it’s her seat (nothing was mentioned about it not being her seat) then she has every right to be in that seat lol Oh yay a comment war
Yep, and some airlines require having to pay extra to pre-book your seats, so honestly it seems she was in the right. (Assuming there is no extra left out information.)
I was thinking the same. Assuming this really was her assigned seat she payed for i would have been pissed too, if some guy in a uniform would say this is his now. She obv could have handled it better, i guess the airline screwed up by overbooking the plane
@@justonecactus1541 agreed but kinda think about it from her point of view. She's tried with a baby and theirs someone in her seat and it looks like the airline gave away her seat without telling her. It was very rude for her to demand both seats but still the mother was blanked over in this and possibly didn't even get a refund for her seat which was stolen. Yes support the army but anyone might act crazy in this type of story.
@@gemrock I mean, I just said the same thing... maybe my english wasnt the best so my apologies. Just for clarity I agree with the woman in the situation, I just dont condone her outburst.
I’d have been pissed if I couldn’t sit in the seats I paid for and then couldn’t fly because the plane was full. That was a dumb move from the airline overbooking the flight
Yeah. And the mother was likely EXHAUSTED with a baby in her arm just to find her seat taken. And then the douchebag posts a story about how terrible she was (for being an exhausted mother who just wants to get to her destination). (I would be on everyone's side except for the airline if OP didn't go make a post making fun of her. That turns him into an asshole)
@@jimbobjones9330 from what I hear and is most likely is that it's a space-a contracting flight. Where it's reserved for active duty flying home and civilian families can get seating if it's available. They aren't flying home from deployment on a normal flight. Also the mental fatigue, ptsd, and more from know you and everyone you have talked to for the past months/ years could die at any moment is worse then having a child, change my mind.
@@darianbarber3763 Well first off, anyone who says "change my mind" doesn't want their mind changed. It's normally reserved for anti-vax assholes (so if that's the company you want to be in...) That said, I never said that being a mother is worse than being a soldier (strawman much?). I'm saying that she has every right to be angry about the situation. And that this guy went from being a NTA to an asshole by mocking a mother who was exhausted and who had every right to be upset. She wasn't an entitled mother AT ALL. She was exhausted and upset. And he's a douchebag for mocking her like she did something wrong. Change... my... mind...
The lady in the last story isn't a Karen, it's completely reasonable to be upset that a seat you paid for isn't available bc the airline screwed up. Especially considering she was traveling with a baby, the extra stress of having to take a different plane who knows how long later with a baby in the mix is worth getting being upset over
We obviously don't know if it really was her seat, but if it was that doesn't excuse her behavior. A normal adult doesn't start screaming at two obviously surprised and exhausted passengers, but rather calmly calls a flight attendant and explains the issue
@@limiv5272 it was her seat and she coulda handled it better but she IS entitled to those seats bc she bought and reserved them for that specific plane with her baby
I'm confused at the last story. Were they actually her seats or did she have the numbers mixed up on the tickets? Or was it a first come first serve kind of plane?
Sounds like over booked. I have also heard returning active duty soldiers sometime will get preferential seating over another paying passenger. If either of these were the case I understand her mad at them in her seat. Most people traveling can't wait a day or more to find other flights. More so if there are connecting flights you have to catch. I got bumped once for over booked and the next flight I could get left at 1am with a 5 hrs layovers in one city then a 3hr in another causing me to take almost 2 days longer to get home making me miss work.
@@gabifranklin9187 well in that case, until she started screaming at the flight attendant she was not out of line to want her seat. She has places to go too and if she paid for the seats she should get them or at least get comparable seats on the next flight
Okay so planes do have first come first serve seating but they also do have seats you can pay extra if you want to get two seat next to eachother. So the op clearly paid for the two seats for her and her toddler. These two veterans possibly had the an over booker error but I highly doubt that and i bet they chose those seats and didn't even think about if someone had paid for them. The plane ticket has the seat row and seat number so it is actually very hard to get it incorrect. It's very easy to tell which row and which seat is your so if op was telling the truth and it did have the seat printed on her ticket than those would have been her seats. And honestly I get her yelling. She's tierd she is traveling with a toddler which are not easy to travel with sometimes, she's finally on the plane to than see her seats are being taken by another person. She's than told there no other seats for her and her toddler so she's basically forced to try to get her originally seats back. And in all honestly I think it's completely rude for those two veterans to have seen a mother in need of help and not want to move to let her on the plane instead. If I were one of those guys I would have easily gotten up and apologized and just gotten a later flight. Especially when flying with a toddler it's hard and they need to be seated together. This mother felt that was being threatened so she went into mama bear mode. 🤷♀️ I personally don't think she's a Karen for fighting for her plane seats that she paid EXTRA for. I for sure would have fought for my seat that I paid extra for if someone was sitting in them
@@samhainnc9416 that's disgusting I'm sorry they don't deserve priority seating over othe PAYING passengers. No one should be more entitled to a seat. And in my opinion if anyone should have been in priority it's a mother and her small child not a grown ass adult man with no child and no one else but himself to take care of 🙄 that's just disgusting to me
Lol. That second-to-last story reminded me of my nephews second birthday party. We had it held in a popular park not far from a local camp ground. Apparently one of my brother-in-law's relatives is married to a firefighter (I don't recall the exact details), so they managed to get a firetruck-an actual firetruck-to come to the location for a short while. As soon as it rolled up, all the men and boys in the party gravitated towards it, as though they were being pulled by magnets. It was adorable as hell to see.
You really made me laugh with your comment concerning the last story! Yeah, I can easily imagine a guy pretending not knowing his Karen of a wife making a fool of herself and demanding him to assist her.🤣🤣🤣
Idk man, if you can’t afford a wedding by yourself then you should just go to the courthouse and not ask people for money. It is nice that her parents gave you money, but idk, you already knew what your mom was like🤷♀️
I agree, a wedding can wait and if it can't then a teenie weenie one. Why spend lot's of your and other's money on a wedding when you're already struggling financially
idk If I had some aggressive ill-tempered maniac shout at me, I'd be more scared if I couldn't hear/understand what they're saying. Like .. is it death threats? Should I run for my life?
2nd story: "having two doors open" had nothing to do with "a kid drinking a beverage." This was about one thing and one thing only: "controlling others." This is someone who feels helpless in their lives, and uses her child as an excuse to impose dominance. Remember, she looked "defeated." And that marriage is not going to last if the husband is already standing up to her.
Whoa rSlash, a bit TMI about your... hose. Wedding photo parent then. If you know your parent has other motives every time they give a gift, then why would you ever accept any gifts.
The manager from the first story was such a legend. I know so many spineless bosses who would side with the horrible Karen just to avoid losing business I love managers who don't take shit from anybody
Dude... firefighters show up, light fires, and then let you play with the hose AND give out stickers? Best freaking birthday party EVER. I'm nearly 40 and would love that.
So looked into the reddit on the last story cause at first it felt like the op was acting entitled to someone else's paid for seat for being military but I guess people are saying the EP didn't pay anything as it was some "if space available" deal. OP should probably put that detail in there cause they looked bad otherwise
To me, they just sounded exhausted and were in shock over being yelled at. When you're THAT tired, the brain doesn't process things at a reasonable rate and you wind up having VERY delayed reactions. I've been there. Not military, but I've definitely been so knackered that even being screamed at wasn't enough to prompt a proper reaction until almost half an hour later. Honestly, it sounds like this situation probably happened pretty quick. There would have been no chance for the servicemen to have reasonably responded when in a state of exhausted shock. The mother handled the situation in such a shitty way that she got kicked off for her blow-up, though the airline certainly had a heavy hand in causing the situation in the first place.
It was definitely space available as this was a commercial flight that was probably contracted out to ferry military personnel. When they aren't full, others can fly space-a between enroute stops. Space-required people (deployed service members) take priority. Other people usually just put their names on a list and see if they get a flight but they are waitlisted and can be bumped at any time for military personnel. That's how the contract works.
Yeah that is abit of a problem with that last story.Details can clue you in on the fact this was a civilian airline flying a rotator contract, but you basically have to have extra information not in the story to get clued into it. The big clue is of course the flight was picking up at Rammstein, which isn't a civilian airport, but rather a USAF Base. But if you don't klnow what it can be easy to just think this is a normal civilian flight. Once you know that then you also need to sort of know how rotator flights work and the difference between mission and non-mission use and as such the difference between those who would be space-required and those travelling space available. If you are in a spot where you realize this is a rotator flight and how the rotator works the mother's entitlement is quite clear. But if you don't you will have a hard time judging it from a poing of thinking of the interaction in a mora normal civilian flight booking.
I can definitely back up that firemen carry things for kids. They came up to this little boy and gave him a hat and stickers just because they saw him pointing saying firetruck all excited. It was sweet
Karen assaults a deaf employee. Turns out, Karen also was deaf, but only in a certain way. Deaf to the considerations of others, their needs, deaf to empathy. Should be dislike her? Should we have pity with her because she is unable to feel such basic emotions towards others? I don't know. I don't know any Karen.
There will never be any excuse for that kind of behavior if you can’t be a decent human being stay in your house so nobody has to deal with your shjtstorm of a personality
I pity her because she couldn't vote after getting out of jail. People who go to jail get their voting rights revoked and she was probably cursing that fact because she couldn't vote for her Overlord.
I definitely feel no pity for any Karen I can't believe they did that Jesus 🙀 what that Karen did was cold ice god damn cold she should be in jail for 5 years instead of a few months 🤦♂️
The first story of OP actually made my eyes water, I know how pressuring it feels to be yelled at and be blamed for smth you can’t control I’ve had disabled friends some can’t understand regular human concepts and sometimes when I hangout with them, people constantly assault/harass them I’ve had close to getting physical with others because of this stuff and a lot of people get aggressive for no reason idk why they just can’t accept that they were wrong and they should apologize for it
We had a deaf person attacked like that at my local grocery store. A woman wearing a "I can't breathe" mask and a "Biden/Harris" shirt screamed at a deaf employee they they weren't deaf, but instead they were racist and ignoring her. It was disgusting.
Adorable details to add. So they were wearing conflicting items? The I can’t breathe mask is typically worn by right wingers, who wouldn’t be caught dead in a Biden/Harris shirt. And anyone can be a Karen, regardless of political leanings. Try a little harder the next time you write fiction.
12:03 Thats alittle bit SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs
12:04 Let's see how many implications this statement has, keeping in mind the innuendo: RSlash wants to play with other peoples' hoses. He's okay with children playing with peoples' hoses. He's wondering why a Karen would be against children playing with hoses.
The deaf story made my heart melt. I am one of those who stand up for others when I have the chance. I also help if I can, small gestures like tell or show where something is located, fetch stuff or pick things up. I once had this lady in front of me at the registry and sshe had much small stuff but no basket or bag, so they mentioned it and I put my mirror down safely and fetched a basket for her while she put the reciet in her wallet. It would have taken longer for her to fetch it anyway, so I was just glad to help.
Lol last story: So Rslash would pretend that he don't know his wife when she just want to sit in the seats SHE PAID FOR while travelling WITH A BABY. Who would clamly leave the overbooked plane in this situation? What if next flight is booked too? She's supposed to sleep in airport with a baby or what? Is she less entitled to arrive at destination than super vip army guy? "I can't imagine being married to that" Ah yes the woman who stands up for herself, what a nightmare.
Also as said many times in this section this is most likely a military contracted flight meaning yes military do get priority and close family can ride on if seating is available. The whole idea civilian side is your seat isn't guaranteed.
@@MLWJ1993 Yeah I wouldn't scream either but I also never travelled with A baby but I heard it's super hard. This situation might have been The last straw and The fact they compleatly ignored her might be The issue too.
@@darianbarber3763 if it would be militarny contracted flight she wouldn't have a ticked with a seat number. She paid for The ticket, booked these seats. It was 100% airlane fault
what’s up with Americans and army stuff? Last story: she had her seats clearly stated on a ticket. Some videos ago it was the same story but from the perspective of the person with stated seats. And everyone was rooting for them, because, well, they paid for their seats. Now it’s the other way round because it’s military? I don’t get it, personally.
I posted this above but : Sounds like over booked. I have also heard returning active duty soldiers sometime will get preferential seating over another paying passenger. If either of these were the case I understand her mad at them in her seat. Airlines are horrible for allowing seats to be double booked.
My big problem is that somehow OP in the story thinks that she's entitled for wanting the seats she paid for, and that she has no right to be angry given she's probably drop-dead exhausted because she's travelling alone with an infant. So he makes an a-hole post mocking her.
@@lizanna6390 To some extend, sure. However I'd sure as hell not be screaming at an unresponsive man in a military uniform that just returned from deployment... (unless I in fact wanted to be kicked off the flight).
In that last story, do y'all think Karen's ticket actually was for those seats or did she misread the ticket? I'm kinda unsure since the flight attendant doesn't verify it. I would imagine the returning troops have priority but I wonder if she had any justification or if it was 100% hot air.
Airlines overbook flights.. so this mother with a small child could very easily have been telling the truth and had a right to be upset.. Misdirected but still completely the airlines fault.
@@sadpotato3386 True. We've heard of Karens lying about this, too. Hence my indecisiveness. I suppose the light attendant's behavior could suggest the woman had the right ticket but I'm not sure. If so, and she agreed to take another flight, she coulda gotten a free ticket for a future flight. If she had gone about it better, maybe someone else agrees and she gets seated, there or not. She went about it stupidly.
@@lisakaz35 She did, but I completely understand her upset... she tells these two dudes that they're in her seat and they don't say or do anything at all to prove that they also have tickets for those seats? Then she raises her voice cause they're not even acknowledging her and she's stressed... it's not great but it's understandable. I can't understand the soldiers though, they should have been like "Ma'am, these are our seats... look at my ticket."
@@sadpotato3386 I have heard at least one story where this claim is made and it's fraud. If the airline booked the seats twice, it is their fault and the flight attendant has to act. I wonder how the story went from her pov.
That's Air Mobility Command's name for its commercial charter flights. Other nicknames/Acronyms for the Patriot Express are Pat-eX, PE, rotator or "Freedonm Bird" (to some old-timers). AMC contracts a certain number of seats on charters with commercial carriers because it is an economical, efficient way of moving large numbers of personnel where they need to go. Charter seats not filled by official fliers are assigned for a small fee (Head Tax and Inspection Fees) to Space-Available travelers. The process for signing up for Space-A travel is the same as other military flights. Patriot Express flights have the usual commercial airline amenities. The flights are at least equal to the commercial economy class and, in some cases, a bit better. For instance, travelers on some flights can expect hot towels, free movies and headsets, and more leg room than found on most commercial airlines. West coast Patriot Express flights depart and arrive via Seattle-Tacoma International (SeaTac) Airport to Kadena, Yokota, Iwakuni and Misawa (also Yokota-Singapore). East coast Patriot Express departures depart and arrive via Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport and Norfolk NAS to Europe (Germany, Italy, Azores, Greece and Spain). For further information on the Patriot Express, read through the AMC Patriot Express Brochure. Note: The Patriot Express was reduced several years ago and as a result Atlanta IAP, Los Angeles, Rhein-Main AB, and RAF Mildenhall are no longer used as Patriot Express departure points. See the Patriot Express News Articles for more info on the history. Don't despair fellow Space-A travelers, even though Patriot Express flights have been reduced opportunities for space-A travel still exist on military aircraft to/from the usual military bases.
Airlines overbooked flights all the time, and I'm pretty sure they book servicemen no matter how full the flight, so it wasn't Karen's fault. She should have handled it better, but it was the airline's fault for the incident, not Karen's
Those were exactly my thoughts. Don't get me wrong, her behavior was horrible and she deserved to be kicked off the plane. However, I don't like this attitude that citizens are second class to soldiers either. The airline shouldn't have overbooked.
@@sandracox4341 Clearly not everyone knows that or comes from a military family. The word you're looking for is "ignorant," not idiot. Staring at someone while they show you their ticket, and assuming they can tell you're tired or know this unspoken rule, is a good way to look like an entitled idiot too.
That "Play on My Hose" sidetrack was pure brilliance. Your new audio set up conveyed the nuance of your "yeah, im married, and okay with entertaining that thought"
When I hear these stories about these Karen's treating people with disabilities like this, they are very fortunate I wasn't in that store at that time.. Makes me very angry at the arrogance and audacity..
It's either none of them are, or all of them are. The woman shouldn't have shouted and caused a scene but OP and his friend could've easily just pulled out their ticket to prove that there was a double booking and then the woman could've taken it up with the real "bad guy" in the story, the airline
@@bigclown23 op could have done literally anything other than silently stare at her like an asshole. If I'm not mistaken he never said that he was booked that seat either, just that he was in it. We've heard this exact same story from the other side a million times except this time the seat thief won and had the audacity to try and paint that poor lady as a villain for a "cool" story. I'm not going to say she didn't overreact (assuming op didn't exaggerate the details) but you have to consider that traveling is stressful, and she had a BABY with her. For all we know she was having a really bad day and that was the breaking point. We've all been there, everyone gets mad sometimes. You're right though, the airline completely mishandled that situation in every conceivable way
@@crimson5pider Yes the staring part was creepy and there are some important details missing but the baby excuse can be "countered" by saying that the soldiers just came back from fighting. Yeah, it could've been a rough day for her but everyone fumbled the bag in this situation
@@bigclown23 @Cameron Lindo that counter doesn't really work that well for me since they just *got back* from fighting, as in not *still* fighting, they're basically in r and r meanwhile she *actively* taking care of the baby, she didn't just get back from dropping it off or something. I do still agree that there's no real good guy here though in the grand scheme of things. Honestly I'm surprised rslash decided to pick this story up since it's too grey
@@crimson5pider doesn't really matter if they got back from fighting. The fatigue/trauma (both mentally and physically) isn't gonna just disappear. IMO being a parent isn't comparable to being a soldier or even a police officer in certain places but yeah, I agree with your grey area point
I've had a karen scream at me, belittle me, berate me, and send me (an autistic person with ptsd) into a horrific panic attack. The kindest man in the queue behind her went to get a manager, she got barred from the store, and the kind customer came back a few days later and asked how I was doing. He _then_ told me he was a lawyer and that if there were any issues, he'd happily give statements backing me and the store. There are some customers that make you wish humanity would just end, and some that give you more faith in them than you thought possible.

More people need to stop sugarcoating things and just admit that yes, there are problems with supporting Trump, because he's shown to be avidly against humanitarianism and really has no idea what he's doing.
I made a friend who is deaf and she taught me sign language when I first came to college and studied there for 4 months now. She did told me that she had to deal with people who cyber bullied her on Instagram and she doesn't give a shit. I'm glad to learn sign language to communicate with her.

Yeah, it's called projecting. They are nasty snakes and because of that they think others are too.
In response to Rslash comment about supporting spouses: there’s a huge difference between being supportive and being an enabler. If it’s come to the point where your spouse is taking advantage of you, you’re an enabler. If you’re doing things for your spouse, but they wouldn’t do the same for you, the marriage ends up being toxic, not healthy.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you saying the victim being taken advantage of is at fault. That's like blaming a girl for getting raped cuz of what she wore

I’m sorry, how was she wrong here? Yeah she made a scene. Still she got booted off a flight when she paid for a seat for no real reason.
@@Kelaiah01 oh damn my bad wrong person
For the plane story, I thought “if she’s paid for a ticket and finds that she can’t use it, especially when travelling with a baby, I’d be pissed too.” But decided to just double check it. If they’re dependents, then I’m guessing it’s more of a first come first served thing. But then why have a ticket?
Seriously, if it’s a first come first served thing, and I’d been told that there were enough seats for us, I’d be really annoyed about that. But I wouldn’t be asking people to get out of their seats though.
i know i dont think shes really entitled like thank you for your service buttt this is my seat and your not entitled to it because of that and it sounds like the airline kicked her off even tho she had a paid ticket.i respect soldiers but they should have been treated like this just because of their service.
Yeah is this an American thing that soldiers get to trump paying customers? I'd be passed at that, sounds like her only crime was making too much of a scene. She was traveling with a baby for all we know she could have been connecting from just as long a transit as the soldiers. at least 2/5 buttholes for their entitled asses too
@@mikeyjnz She was a dependent, she didn't pay for the ticket, she was traveling at government expense.
Thank god someone else thought of that. I hate the immediate label. Travelling with a baby is very stressful, and when someone is sitting in the seat I paid for, I'd be even more stressed out. The flight attendants could have just taken her to another seat. Or arrange something.
I assumed this was part of airlines overbooking flights in the US - completely ridiculous
Normally Rslash tells the cringiest jokes, but "Pin the tail on the manager" was perfect :D
I'm definitely stealing that idea 😛
More than the hose joke?
That joke was a good one.
First rule of punnery: a good pun and a bad pun are the same thing.
I wish he said it a month ago. Would have been the best game for my sister's birthday!
I used to work at a pet store with someone who was almost entirely deaf, completely on one side, and the amount of people who treated her like garbage because she was "ignoring" them or being "lazy" was absolutely baffling
She was actually our dog trainer for the obedience classes and the people who brought their dogs to her absolutely loved her! I still get people asking where she went (she quit, understandable since people are horrible), but other random customers were absolutely awful to her even though we had signs posted in our area and she wore a pin/lanyard that said she was deaf
I feel bad for them :( poor girl had to deal with so many Karen's
If only the GD Subzero skull was real and just laser them
Can confirm. Totally deaf on one side, which is more impairing than you think. If it is noisy, I cannot hear anything on that side, I also cannot tell where sound is coming from, so I got accused of ignoring people.
I'm on the Autism Spectrum and have sensitive hearing. There are times when a customer ask me a question but there's loud sounds I need them to repeat. My brain needs a moment to compute. I also know ASL so I can talk with people from the deaf community.
Friend's uncle use to live with her family. He had Downs Syndrome. He loved the police and always was asking anyone with a uniform on to arrest my friend. Once the water police knocked on the door and tried to get the person to arrest friend. Anyway, friend asked the real police to show up at uncle's birthday party. Small town/suburb and knew the uncle. So the police showed up, fake arrested the Uncle, gave Uncle a ride in the police car, and just made his birthday. Sadly the uncle passed away last year.
That was both more interesting and more believable than 90% of this sub
That's adorable
So I have a similar story.
My bro loves me and his entire extended family and everyone in general (PSA: he Down syndrome too!). So since he lives in India and the time zones for Aussie and India are different we usually arrive in India in 12 o’ clock around somewhere and it takes super long too take there. In the car are my cousins (only my sis cousins. My bro never comes cause he got strict sleeping time). So I go to their house around 2 and I sleep and the next I surprise him with myself. It was once on his birthday and he was so happy that he ran and hugged me until I went to the guest room lol. Just wanted to share!
How does someone LOOK hearing impaired?
This is a great example of "you can't see every disability."
Does purple hair, tallish, slim, wearing orange-tinted glasses with hazel eyes count? Oh. No, that's just one of my friends who is partially deaf and wears a hearing aid for one ear. They can hear without it, just only in one ear, and even with a hearing aid, she can't hear if two people are speaking at once.
Fire Mom was just pissed that her “I win” turned into “who are you?” She was all set to righteously chew the firemen out, presumably having won some concession from the manager, but got back to see the firemen had co-opted her entire party and snatched her win from her. Not only does she not get to yell, but the firemen are the heroes and she can’t make a move against them.
@Donny D Of course, but it’ll still rankle her because all the parents who were there will know the truth, even if they never say a word!
Pure, unadulterated, delusions. Such is the way of these “men” and “women” of the Karen-hood…
I kinda relate to that story because my dad is deaf from the same side where he's blind and I hate when people does that when they yell because if she yells and she is rude my dad will have a three time bigger scream and his voice is like knives piercing you're ears

My favorite part is where Karen’s try to excuse their insane behavior with “but I thought she worked here!” Or “but I didn’t know she was deaf, and thought she was ignoring me”…as if that excuses assault! As thought it would be acceptable to assault an employee or to assault someone who is “ignoring” you….
Imagine being that small minded, entitled, petty, angry, and frankly violent. Yikes!
That first story reminds me of the time when I worked with a deaf man at Disney. I remember seeing this family waving their arms behind him and the father approaching him like he wanted to punch the man. I ran in between them and stopped him seconds from attacking my coworker. Even after explaining to them, "he's not ignoring you, he's deaf!", they still said that "it doesn't matter, he still should respond when I talk to him." Like, HE CAN'T HEAR YOU! Their question was a dumb one too. I can't remember what it was anymore, but one of those typical, learn to read a map questions.
So they are saying "He should hear us even though he is deaf!"
The last story, yikes... if she paid for the seats, she IS entitled to them. Imagine what its like for an exhusted mother with a kid go on a flight just to get met with two unresponsive men on her seat and get kicked out even when she bought the tickets. And rslash saying he wouldnt even support his wife in this situation?? Your wife is stressed and they arent letting her on the seats SHE bought and you would just go "idk who she is" just bc its military? Embarassing
From the info I have gathered on the type of flight the OP was on, the military often books a whole plane with a airline or a private company to shuttle a large group of servicemen. The planes usually are not full, so the airline is allowed to book regular passengers traveling to one of the stops for free or a reduced price (some tickets get as low as $20). The screwed up part is that some airlines will overbook and sometimes double book seats and if that happens, the military personnel get priority. I wouldn’t call the woman a Karen, but I would say that the airline screwed her over.
@@DemonRaticate if that's the case, it's the airline's fault. That doesn't make her entitled. Maybe her reaction was a bit over the top, but she's still right to be upset.
@@DemonRaticate it also would have been funny if she went to the wrong seat to behave that way
@@almostkatie8461 Agreed. Everyone there was a bit in the wrong, but the majority of the blame goes to the airline. Everyone was stressed and tired and while OP was technically in the “right” it doesn’t mean morally he was clear.
@@DemonRaticate The thing is she is still entitled IMHO. when buying a rotator flight ticket for the reduced fee it is abundantly clear that the ticket only applies to flying the route, but a specific flight. And that you may not find out if you can actually fly on a particular flight on that rotator route until you get to the flight.
The new audio setup is really good sounding, probably because you finally can record with ac on
There’s literally not an issue with the last story. Sure, if everything OP said was true then the mom could have handled it better, but assuming it’s her seat (nothing was mentioned about it not being her seat) then she has every right to be in that seat lol
Oh yay a comment war
Yep, and some airlines require having to pay extra to pre-book your seats, so honestly it seems she was in the right. (Assuming there is no extra left out information.)
This, Im not gonna flip out like that lady, but I would be bothered too if someone sat on my seat and didnt even see anything wrong with it
I was thinking the same. Assuming this really was her assigned seat she payed for i would have been pissed too, if some guy in a uniform would say this is his now. She obv could have handled it better, i guess the airline screwed up by overbooking the plane
@@justonecactus1541 agreed but kinda think about it from her point of view. She's tried with a baby and theirs someone in her seat and it looks like the airline gave away her seat without telling her. It was very rude for her to demand both seats but still the mother was blanked over in this and possibly didn't even get a refund for her seat which was stolen. Yes support the army but anyone might act crazy in this type of story.
@@gemrock I mean, I just said the same thing... maybe my english wasnt the best so my apologies.
Just for clarity I agree with the woman in the situation, I just dont condone her outburst.
I’d have been pissed if I couldn’t sit in the seats I paid for and then couldn’t fly because the plane was full. That was a dumb move from the airline overbooking the flight
Yeah. And the mother was likely EXHAUSTED with a baby in her arm just to find her seat taken.
And then the douchebag posts a story about how terrible she was (for being an exhausted mother who just wants to get to her destination). (I would be on everyone's side except for the airline if OP didn't go make a post making fun of her. That turns him into an asshole)
@@jimbobjones9330 from what I hear and is most likely is that it's a space-a contracting flight. Where it's reserved for active duty flying home and civilian families can get seating if it's available. They aren't flying home from deployment on a normal flight. Also the mental fatigue, ptsd, and more from know you and everyone you have talked to for the past months/ years could die at any moment is worse then having a child, change my mind.
@@darianbarber3763 Well first off, anyone who says "change my mind" doesn't want their mind changed. It's normally reserved for anti-vax assholes (so if that's the company you want to be in...)
That said, I never said that being a mother is worse than being a soldier (strawman much?). I'm saying that she has every right to be angry about the situation. And that this guy went from being a NTA to an asshole by mocking a mother who was exhausted and who had every right to be upset.
She wasn't an entitled mother AT ALL. She was exhausted and upset. And he's a douchebag for mocking her like she did something wrong.
Change... my... mind...
The lady in the last story isn't a Karen, it's completely reasonable to be upset that a seat you paid for isn't available bc the airline screwed up. Especially considering she was traveling with a baby, the extra stress of having to take a different plane who knows how long later with a baby in the mix is worth getting being upset over
espically if you are not used to travelling like I can just imagen how much of a hot mess I will become if I were in her place and I am single
I don’t disagree, but even if I had my kids along and realized they were soldiers going home, I wouldn’t make a fuss like she did.
We obviously don't know if it really was her seat, but if it was that doesn't excuse her behavior. A normal adult doesn't start screaming at two obviously surprised and exhausted passengers, but rather calmly calls a flight attendant and explains the issue

I'm confused at the last story. Were they actually her seats or did she have the numbers mixed up on the tickets? Or was it a first come first serve kind of plane?
It was actually her seat
Sounds like over booked. I have also heard returning active duty soldiers sometime will get preferential seating over another paying passenger. If either of these were the case I understand her mad at them in her seat. Most people traveling can't wait a day or more to find other flights. More so if there are connecting flights you have to catch. I got bumped once for over booked and the next flight I could get left at 1am with a 5 hrs layovers in one city then a 3hr in another causing me to take almost 2 days longer to get home making me miss work.
@@gabifranklin9187 well in that case, until she started screaming at the flight attendant she was not out of line to want her seat. She has places to go too and if she paid for the seats she should get them or at least get comparable seats on the next flight
Okay so planes do have first come first serve seating but they also do have seats you can pay extra if you want to get two seat next to eachother. So the op clearly paid for the two seats for her and her toddler. These two veterans possibly had the an over booker error but I highly doubt that and i bet they chose those seats and didn't even think about if someone had paid for them. The plane ticket has the seat row and seat number so it is actually very hard to get it incorrect. It's very easy to tell which row and which seat is your so if op was telling the truth and it did have the seat printed on her ticket than those would have been her seats. And honestly I get her yelling. She's tierd she is traveling with a toddler which are not easy to travel with sometimes, she's finally on the plane to than see her seats are being taken by another person. She's than told there no other seats for her and her toddler so she's basically forced to try to get her originally seats back. And in all honestly I think it's completely rude for those two veterans to have seen a mother in need of help and not want to move to let her on the plane instead. If I were one of those guys I would have easily gotten up and apologized and just gotten a later flight. Especially when flying with a toddler it's hard and they need to be seated together. This mother felt that was being threatened so she went into mama bear mode. 🤷♀️ I personally don't think she's a Karen for fighting for her plane seats that she paid EXTRA for. I for sure would have fought for my seat that I paid extra for if someone was sitting in them
@@samhainnc9416 that's disgusting I'm sorry they don't deserve priority seating over othe PAYING passengers. No one should be more entitled to a seat. And in my opinion if anyone should have been in priority it's a mother and her small child not a grown ass adult man with no child and no one else but himself to take care of 🙄 that's just disgusting to me

idk If I had some aggressive ill-tempered maniac shout at me, I'd be more scared if I couldn't hear/understand what they're saying. Like .. is it death threats? Should I run for my life?
2nd story: "having two doors open" had nothing to do with "a kid drinking a beverage." This was about one thing and one thing only: "controlling others." This is someone who feels helpless in their lives, and uses her child as an excuse to impose dominance. Remember, she looked "defeated." And that marriage is not going to last if the husband is already standing up to her.
I would have pulled in and blocked her door from closing, then gone in and got my stuff.

same here
"I play with my own hose every night" and "pin the tail on the manager" killed me! 🤣
"I play with my own hose every night but it's just not the same feeling."
Of course not. It feels MUCH better. :-D
Whoa rSlash, a bit TMI about your... hose. Wedding photo parent then. If you know your parent has other motives every time they give a gift, then why would you ever accept any gifts.
I had the same idea, I can understand the need for a photographer and money issues but why ask the one person who will attach strings to the gift
The manager from the first story was such a legend. I know so many spineless bosses who would side with the horrible Karen just to avoid losing business
I love managers who don't take shit from anybody
Haven't watched yet but I'm gonna say the Karen thought the sign language was a form of karate or other martial art 😂

"hE iS tHrOwInG GaNg SigNs!!!"
Dude... firefighters show up, light fires, and then let you play with the hose AND give out stickers? Best freaking birthday party EVER. I'm nearly 40 and would love that.
So looked into the reddit on the last story cause at first it felt like the op was acting entitled to someone else's paid for seat for being military but I guess people are saying the EP didn't pay anything as it was some "if space available" deal. OP should probably put that detail in there cause they looked bad otherwise
Can you link the story please?
To me, they just sounded exhausted and were in shock over being yelled at. When you're THAT tired, the brain doesn't process things at a reasonable rate and you wind up having VERY delayed reactions. I've been there. Not military, but I've definitely been so knackered that even being screamed at wasn't enough to prompt a proper reaction until almost half an hour later.
Honestly, it sounds like this situation probably happened pretty quick. There would have been no chance for the servicemen to have reasonably responded when in a state of exhausted shock. The mother handled the situation in such a shitty way that she got kicked off for her blow-up, though the airline certainly had a heavy hand in causing the situation in the first place.
It was definitely space available as this was a commercial flight that was probably contracted out to ferry military personnel. When they aren't full, others can fly space-a between enroute stops. Space-required people (deployed service members) take priority. Other people usually just put their names on a list and see if they get a flight but they are waitlisted and can be bumped at any time for military personnel. That's how the contract works.
Yeah that is abit of a problem with that last story.Details can clue you in on the fact this was a civilian airline flying a rotator contract, but you basically have to have extra information not in the story to get clued into it.
The big clue is of course the flight was picking up at Rammstein, which isn't a civilian airport, but rather a USAF Base. But if you don't klnow what it can be easy to just think this is a normal civilian flight. Once you know that then you also need to sort of know how rotator flights work and the difference between mission and non-mission use and as such the difference between those who would be space-required and those travelling space available.
If you are in a spot where you realize this is a rotator flight and how the rotator works the mother's entitlement is quite clear. But if you don't you will have a hard time judging it from a poing of thinking of the interaction in a mora normal civilian flight booking.
"I play with my own hose every night." That can be so easily taken the wrong way. I got a good laugh out of it.
when R/Slash said "I play with my own hose every night but its not the same." could be taken into a a whole new context.
i only got one context right off the bat
🍆
I can definitely back up that firemen carry things for kids. They came up to this little boy and gave him a hat and stickers just because they saw him pointing saying firetruck all excited. It was sweet
Karen assaults a deaf employee.
Turns out, Karen also was deaf, but only in a certain way. Deaf to the considerations of others, their needs, deaf to empathy.
Should be dislike her? Should we have pity with her because she is unable to feel such basic emotions towards others?
I don't know. I don't know any Karen.
There will never be any excuse for that kind of behavior if you can’t be a decent human being stay in your house so nobody has to deal with your shjtstorm of a personality
I pity her because she couldn't vote after getting out of jail. People who go to jail get their voting rights revoked and she was probably cursing that fact because she couldn't vote for her Overlord.
I definitely feel no pity for any Karen I can't believe they did that Jesus 🙀 what that Karen did was cold ice god damn cold she should be in jail for 5 years instead of a few months 🤦♂️
Karens are selectively deaf.
@@jasondyrkacz8270 true🤣
The first story of OP actually made my eyes water, I know how pressuring it feels to be yelled at and be blamed for smth you can’t control I’ve had disabled friends some can’t understand regular human concepts and sometimes when I hangout with them, people constantly assault/harass them I’ve had close to getting physical with others because of this stuff and a lot of people get aggressive for no reason idk why they just can’t accept that they were wrong and they should apologize for it
Because of this stuff? What stuff?

We had a deaf person attacked like that at my local grocery store. A woman wearing a "I can't breathe" mask and a "Biden/Harris" shirt screamed at a deaf employee they they weren't deaf, but instead they were racist and ignoring her. It was disgusting.
To be honest, I envy that deaf person. They don't hear all that bullshit
Adorable details to add. So they were wearing conflicting items? The I can’t breathe mask is typically worn by right wingers, who wouldn’t be caught dead in a Biden/Harris shirt. And anyone can be a Karen, regardless of political leanings. Try a little harder the next time you write fiction.

Let's see how many implications this statement has, keeping in mind the innuendo:
RSlash wants to play with other peoples' hoses.
He's okay with children playing with peoples' hoses.
He's wondering why a Karen would be against children playing with hoses.
Whoever becomes a Karen around firefighters are the lowest of the low.
"I play with my own hose everyday, but it's just not the same"
=/
I wanna play with his hose 😍
"I play with my own hose every night but its not just the same feeling" 😂😂😂
“I play with my hose every night “
Every guy watching: same
"I play with my own hose every night, but it's just not the same feeling" actually cackling
"Why be a jerk over literally nothing?"
Rslash, buddy, are you new here?
The deaf story made my heart melt. I am one of those who stand up for others when I have the chance. I also help if I can, small gestures like tell or show where something is located, fetch stuff or pick things up. I once had this lady in front of me at the registry and sshe had much small stuff but no basket or bag, so they mentioned it and I put my mirror down safely and fetched a basket for her while she put the reciet in her wallet. It would have taken longer for her to fetch it anyway, so I was just glad to help.
Lol last story: So Rslash would pretend that he don't know his wife when she just want to sit in the seats SHE PAID FOR while travelling WITH A BABY. Who would clamly leave the overbooked plane in this situation? What if next flight is booked too? She's supposed to sleep in airport with a baby or what? Is she less entitled to arrive at destination than super vip army guy? "I can't imagine being married to that" Ah yes the woman who stands up for herself, what a nightmare.
I wouldn't leave, I'd demand flight personel resolve the issue, not scream & shout at 2 random people assuming they stole my seat(s)...
Also as said many times in this section this is most likely a military contracted flight meaning yes military do get priority and close family can ride on if seating is available. The whole idea civilian side is your seat isn't guaranteed.
@@MLWJ1993 Yeah I wouldn't scream either but I also never travelled with A baby but I heard it's super hard. This situation might have been The last straw and The fact they compleatly ignored her might be The issue too.
@@darianbarber3763 if it would be militarny contracted flight she wouldn't have a ticked with a seat number. She paid for The ticket, booked these seats. It was 100% airlane fault
I was almost in tears for deaf OP. I'm happy they got justice though :)
what’s up with Americans and army stuff? Last story: she had her seats clearly stated on a ticket. Some videos ago it was the same story but from the perspective of the person with stated seats. And everyone was rooting for them, because, well, they paid for their seats. Now it’s the other way round because it’s military? I don’t get it, personally.
I posted this above but : Sounds like over booked. I have also heard returning active duty soldiers sometime will get preferential seating over another paying passenger. If either of these were the case I understand her mad at them in her seat. Airlines are horrible for allowing seats to be double booked.
My big problem is that somehow OP in the story thinks that she's entitled for wanting the seats she paid for, and that she has no right to be angry given she's probably drop-dead exhausted because she's travelling alone with an infant. So he makes an a-hole post mocking her.
I think most people would feel entitled to the seats they paid for.
@@lizanna6390 To some extend, sure. However I'd sure as hell not be screaming at an unresponsive man in a military uniform that just returned from deployment... (unless I in fact wanted to be kicked off the flight).
Totally agree.
“I play with my own hose every night but it’s just not the same feeling”
Damn that caught me off guard
12:03 hold up 😳 😳
Mother: *gives silent treatment to guilt trip*
OP: peace and quiet
In that last story, do y'all think Karen's ticket actually was for those seats or did she misread the ticket? I'm kinda unsure since the flight attendant doesn't verify it. I would imagine the returning troops have priority but I wonder if she had any justification or if it was 100% hot air.
Airlines overbook flights.. so this mother with a small child could very easily have been telling the truth and had a right to be upset..
Misdirected but still completely the airlines fault.
@@sadpotato3386 True. We've heard of Karens lying about this, too. Hence my indecisiveness. I suppose the light attendant's behavior could suggest the woman had the right ticket but I'm not sure. If so, and she agreed to take another flight, she coulda gotten a free ticket for a future flight. If she had gone about it better, maybe someone else agrees and she gets seated, there or not. She went about it stupidly.
@@lisakaz35 She did, but I completely understand her upset... she tells these two dudes that they're in her seat and they don't say or do anything at all to prove that they also have tickets for those seats?
Then she raises her voice cause they're not even acknowledging her and she's stressed... it's not great but it's understandable.
I can't understand the soldiers though, they should have been like "Ma'am, these are our seats... look at my ticket."
@@sadpotato3386 I have heard at least one story where this claim is made and it's fraud. If the airline booked the seats twice, it is their fault and the flight attendant has to act. I wonder how the story went from her pov.
That's Air Mobility Command's name for its commercial charter flights. Other nicknames/Acronyms for the Patriot Express are Pat-eX, PE, rotator or "Freedonm Bird" (to some old-timers). AMC contracts a certain number of seats on charters with commercial carriers because it is an economical, efficient way of moving large numbers of personnel where they need to go. Charter seats not filled by official fliers are assigned for a small fee (Head Tax and Inspection Fees) to Space-Available travelers. The process for signing up for Space-A travel is the same as other military flights. Patriot Express flights have the usual commercial airline amenities. The flights are at least equal to the commercial economy class and, in some cases, a bit better. For instance, travelers on some flights can expect hot towels, free movies and headsets, and more leg room than found on most commercial airlines. West coast Patriot Express flights depart and arrive via Seattle-Tacoma International (SeaTac) Airport to Kadena, Yokota, Iwakuni and Misawa (also Yokota-Singapore).
East coast Patriot Express departures depart and arrive via Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport and Norfolk NAS to Europe (Germany, Italy, Azores, Greece and Spain). For further information on the Patriot Express, read through the AMC Patriot Express Brochure. Note: The Patriot Express was reduced several years ago and as a result Atlanta IAP, Los Angeles, Rhein-Main AB, and RAF Mildenhall are no longer used as Patriot Express departure points. See the Patriot Express News Articles for more info on the history. Don't despair fellow Space-A travelers, even though Patriot Express flights have been reduced opportunities for space-A travel still exist on military aircraft to/from the usual military bases.
I love the fire truck story! If it had been me having the kids play with the firemen. That would be the highlife of my kids birthday party!😊
Airlines overbooked flights all the time, and I'm pretty sure they book servicemen no matter how full the flight, so it wasn't Karen's fault. She should have handled it better, but it was the airline's fault for the incident, not Karen's
I have the same opinion but you're braver than me. glad to see they didn't attack you for it.
Those were exactly my thoughts. Don't get me wrong, her behavior was horrible and she deserved to be kicked off the plane. However, I don't like this attitude that citizens are second class to soldiers either. The airline shouldn't have overbooked.
I wouldn't even call her a Karen. If I got kicked out of my rightfully paid seats and stranded with my toddler I would probably freak out a bit too.
From what I'm hearing in other comments it's type of military contracting. It doesn't reserve a civilian seat, it requests a seat.
@@sandracox4341 Clearly not everyone knows that or comes from a military family. The word you're looking for is "ignorant," not idiot. Staring at someone while they show you their ticket, and assuming they can tell you're tired or know this unspoken rule, is a good way to look like an entitled idiot too.
"I hope this ruins her life."
That's...a bit much...
The Karen didn't get sprayed? Missed opportunity.
That "Play on My Hose" sidetrack was pure brilliance. Your new audio set up conveyed the nuance of your "yeah, im married, and okay with entertaining that thought"
When I hear these stories about these Karen's treating people with disabilities like this, they are very fortunate I wasn't in that store at that time.. Makes me very angry at the arrogance and audacity..
12:04 "I play with my own hose every-night " "but it's just not the same feeling " I near died laughing when rSlash said this !!
In the last story the op is the entitled karen, not the lady.
It's either none of them are, or all of them are. The woman shouldn't have shouted and caused a scene but OP and his friend could've easily just pulled out their ticket to prove that there was a double booking and then the woman could've taken it up with the real "bad guy" in the story, the airline
@@bigclown23 op could have done literally anything other than silently stare at her like an asshole. If I'm not mistaken he never said that he was booked that seat either, just that he was in it. We've heard this exact same story from the other side a million times except this time the seat thief won and had the audacity to try and paint that poor lady as a villain for a "cool" story. I'm not going to say she didn't overreact (assuming op didn't exaggerate the details) but you have to consider that traveling is stressful, and she had a BABY with her. For all we know she was having a really bad day and that was the breaking point. We've all been there, everyone gets mad sometimes. You're right though, the airline completely mishandled that situation in every conceivable way
@@crimson5pider Yes the staring part was creepy and there are some important details missing but the baby excuse can be "countered" by saying that the soldiers just came back from fighting. Yeah, it could've been a rough day for her but everyone fumbled the bag in this situation
@@bigclown23 @Cameron Lindo that counter doesn't really work that well for me since they just *got back* from fighting, as in not *still* fighting, they're basically in r and r meanwhile she *actively* taking care of the baby, she didn't just get back from dropping it off or something. I do still agree that there's no real good guy here though in the grand scheme of things. Honestly I'm surprised rslash decided to pick this story up since it's too grey
@@crimson5pider doesn't really matter if they got back from fighting. The fatigue/trauma (both mentally and physically) isn't gonna just disappear. IMO being a parent isn't comparable to being a soldier or even a police officer in certain places but yeah, I agree with your grey area point

I've had a karen scream at me, belittle me, berate me, and send me (an autistic person with ptsd) into a horrific panic attack. The kindest man in the queue behind her went to get a manager, she got barred from the store, and the kind customer came back a few days later and asked how I was doing. He _then_ told me he was a lawyer and that if there were any issues, he'd happily give statements backing me and the store. There are some customers that make you wish humanity would just end, and some that give you more faith in them than you thought possible.
