Last time I was at the airport I asked the security guy something, he signaled he was deaf so I just pointed at my camera (if I needed to put it somewhere, first flight ever) so he nodded and all nice. While i was putting my shoes and stuff back on the other side this old man was screaming at the guy and another security staff just pulled him to the side. Why is people like this 😭
@@rai1879 Perhaps the guy noticed the Guard was deaf and was just doing the old "IF I TALK LOUDLY AND SLOWLY, DOES THAT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" tactic?
One thing a lot of these “people”(I use that term very loosely) don’t know is that airline employees are considered public safety employees. That upgrades the assault to a felony
With this last story, what makes me dislike entitled people so much is that they can’t look past the fact that they hurt someone. Op is bleeding, BLEEDING, which she caused and she just carries on. Shame that human compassion and concern is lost on these people
She noticed. Which is why she kept doubling down on the accusations. It is the "Amber Heard" Syndrome. If you aren't getting enough personal attention, you just keep adding more to the story to sensationalize it. But in this case, as soon as the woman saw blood, she knew she was cooked. Her only thought process was to make it appear as self defense. Only she didn't know when to shut up as she panicked. A few days in jail probably would do her a world of good. No doubt in my mind that she hired an attorney, plead down, and cried like a banshee as she apologized for her behavior to the court. If I was the judge, I'd make her do community service, pay for the guy's medical bills and pain and suffering, and call it a day. The booking and a day or so in county jail can do a whole lot to humble a wild Karen. The assault on a police officer alone would all but guarantee she would stay in county jail until she stood before a judge. She wouldn't be released on her own recognizance. Two assaults ... yeah, she would be cooling her heals in lock up for a minute. If reality didn't strike we they did her photos and finger prints, it sure would have come home to roost as soon as she had to strip down and do a cavity search.
Narcissists rarely ever care at all about anything except themselves. They have no empathy. The only time they have anything close to feeling guilt is when they're ashamed at being put on blast and exposed for what they are. They gas light, emotionally manipulate, lie, cheat, steel and violate every other boundary placed in front of them because they have no respect which is thanks to not having any empathy. Believe me, I was raised in a very large family that behaves much like these entitled people in these videos.
@@iononcantomascrivo Yeah, it's sad. For someone like myself who feels things deeply and wants to see the good in other people, it's hard to wrap one's head around narcissists. It's also even sadder (and maddening) that such people will take advantage of kindness to further their lives until you are no longer useful. I have worried that I was a narcissist because I like to talk about myself, but the fact that I have this awareness shows that I'm not. We all have self-involved traits, but narcissists feel nothing.
Many of these out of control "karen" antics sound like symptoms of untreated mental illness. Perhaps if the police have to deal with them enough times, it'll get them on the list for the treatment they need. I'm probably being overly optimistic though. In the US, it seems that mental health is very much overlooked/ignored/stigmatized and isn't reliably covered by health insurance.
I'm short and have often had to ask random strangers in shops if they'd fetch something from the top shelf from me. I've never been refused. If I ever was, I'd just say thanks and move on to the next random. If you're polite and just want a quick hand, people are usually only too pleased to help. There again, I'm not an entitled arsehole.
I remember being in a Walmart with my mom. We needed something off the top shelf but are both really short. As I’m reaching and stretching for it, this guy comes around and asks what we need, offering to help. We thanked him, talked, joked about short people problems, and thanked him again before going our separate ways. That interaction made our day.
Same issue with me. A "please " accompanied by a smile helps a lot. And seeing you futilely stretching upward usually seals the deal. Oh, don't forget that "Thank you" after.
I once asked a lady if I could please borrow her taller husband to reach something for me. She responded "Ok with me, if he wants to." He was nice and reached it for me. I then thanked him & her & asked her to give him a hug for me. He said "Thanks, I like that idea!".
In almost every car club, "hit it with your purse" comes up often with stuck bolts, etc to get them to move. This is the first time I've heard it work...
Story 1, I was a waitress in my youth, on & off at several places! At one diner one of my regulars was a stripper, I never seen her with a bunch of one dollar bills. That cashier is an idiot thinking a waitress is a stripper. 🤦♀️
I spent a year working as a delivery driver and I would always swap out my $1 and $5 bills for $20’s before I clocked out, partly because it saved my boss trips to the bank for change the next morning and partly because carrying a huge wad of tips in the cash bag in my back pocket for the 14-mile drive back home would literally be a pain in the ass!
My ex's sister worked at a waffle house for night shifts and said the dancers that came in after work were always really polite and tipped well. They did get a bit loud at first, but nothing too much. They were college students and best friends who studied at times together. She said she liked their energy and made the place lively for awhile during boring times. After a few months they graduated or moved. She left a year later and didn't see them again.
I have a daughter who once worked at a restaurant. She once had a bundle of ones and asked me if she could swap for a $20. I said sure. A little later I was shopping and went up to the checkout. The bill was small so I decided to pay with cash. I pulled out the bundle of ones. The cashier looked at me for a couple of seconds, and said, “So, one of your kids works at a restaurant, huh?”
Banned? Try jailed. Airports fall under Federal jurisdiction in the US. Watched the Secret Service pull someone off a flight once. She's in federal prison now.
I vote that if ANYONE assaults and treats any employee(s) of ANY airport or ANY airline, they should be put on a NO FLY list, and required to write a letter of apology to the person(s), and have pay a day's wage of the person(s) to be allowed to fly again. If any additional issues like that happen again, they should be left on the NO FLY list, and their face, name, and what they did/said blasted on the news for all to see. But that's my opinion.
Screw the Written Apology, it will NEVER be Honest or Sincere... Ban them from EVER flying on that Airline ever again, put them on the No Fly List for a year (for the first Offense, Permanently for the second) and call the Police to have them Arrested and Charged for Assault and Battery... After they pay their Fine and serve their Prison Sentence (if any), if they're not in their Country of Residence, Deport them and Permanently Bar them from ever reentering that Country again... THAT is the ONLY way (other than simply shooting them in the head with 2 Deer Slugs out of a double barrel 12-Guage) to properly deal with an Airport Karen...
They usually cross a line eventually, so technically they're fair game when they do. Actions have consequences, but most people let just let go because people don't want to deal with them anymore and they learn nothing
When listening to these stories I'm always amazed that people think it's OK to not only touch others but pinch, claw, spit on, etc. I was taught by the age of 5 to keep my hands to myself and not put my hands on random strangers. I guess that isn't the case anymore for some people at least. My mom was named Karen though she was nothing like the women who do this crazy stuff. Honestly, I'm glad she passed away before "Karen" became a thing. I feel for all the good Karens out there.
@@audreyricci6383 There's also an ethnic group by that name that has a fairly sizeable refugee population in the States. I honestly feel bad for those Karens having to share a name with sufferers of can-I-speak-to-your-manager-itis.
@@stephanien6237 I hope not. Having your name be a whole "thing" still has to be annoying at times, I think. Having to explain you are not one of 'those' Karens would get old fast, IMO. It's possible I'm just projecting. I get tired of explaining my name sometimes.
@@stephanien6237 Karen isn't the only woman's name that has been coopted to describe a stereotype; its just the one that has caught on to the point of being a well known meme. For instance, try looking up what a Betty, Becky, Susan, and Stacey mean. I don't prejudge people based on their names, but when I meet a Karen who also acts like a karen, I do find it amusing.
Story 1: Making stupid assumptions doesn't pay off, episode #10,000,000. Story 2: Why do these idiots think everyone in eyesight works at whatever store the idiot happens to be shopping in? The store does not have the physical space required for everyone on Earth to work there. The employee should have wished Karen the holiday she deserved. Story 3: Someone never learned how lines work, apparently. She also sounds like she's unfit to be out in society. Story 4: Male Karen, stop assuming that everyone within eyesight is an employee wherever you happen to be shopping. You are old enough that you should know better. Story 5: Another idiot that needs to listen with her ears and not her mouth. Good on the OP for fighting back, because anyone who attacks someone unprovoked should get some pain back. Also, do all of these people actually forget about security cameras in the store? This should be common knowledge by now.
Story 4: When the old guy said this is your last warning, that always gets my attention in that kind of situation, but not for the reason he thinks. "Oh, you're WARNING me? Exactly WHAT are you warning me of? No, please, elaborate on what's going to happen when I don't do what you want."
@@nomames6030 No way to prove which ones are real and which ones are fake, is there? That being the case, it's more fun for me to go along with them since it ultimately doesn't matter either way.
Even if OP had been a stripper in the first story there would still be no excuse to treat them like that. That cashier needed to get her head out of her own ass and drop the holier than thou attitude.
Maybe I'm confused, but I thought "strippers" (dancers) earned their money legally. Exactly what business is it of anyone else how they make money? .MYOB...
@@dinascharnhorst6590 Well, the very concept of "swearing" has always been deeply-rooted in class and racial bigotry. Typically, those who swear profusely have a better vocabulary and better morals that those who refrain from using an arbitrary selection of words for no rational reason.
@@SIS3W3N Because of the term "Holier-than-thou" utilized by OP, I'm thinking this judgemental person is professing to be a Christian and would do well to go back and read the book of James in the Bible: he spoke at great length about controlling the tongue. On the other hand, perhaps the Judgemental One is a product of upbringing and class and has nothing to do with religion at all.
I do! I'd love to meet a Karen in a store and then let her have it! Full on humiliation and if he/she gets physical then it will become WWE - Walmart Edition!
My son used to carry and pay when shopping with a lot of $1 bills. That was his share of the nightly tips from the bar as he was the front door bouncer.
I used to work with some friends at several flea markets. They would fill their gas tanks on the way home. A lot of the time, they paid with nothing but quarters, as long as they had enough to have $200 for change for te next flea maket day.
For no apparent reason, I'm reminded of when I owned a honda 360 twin motorcycle in 1989 where I'd give the attendant a dollar to fill the tank and have some change left over.
My son works at a pizza place and I would frequently give him rides - until he finally got his own car. He usually gave me gas money out of his tips. So I’d wind up with a pocket full of $1s & $5s to pay for my gas or groceries.
And even if they strip, or work the streets, it's none of Karen's business. Sex workers have the right to buy gas, food, whatever. I wonder if she would harass the men who frequented the strip clubs had she been able to identify them?
Ok DarkFluff I have to admit there are "Karens" in my area. This is the first I have ever seen live. I was in our local Superstore and I was reading ingredients on a package in the frozen section area when this woman grabs my arm and whirls me around, yelling that I help her instead of wasting time on my shift. Now I am 60 years old, wearing business attire. I told her "Excuse me??" and she responded telling me we were out of some type of chicken fingers (not sure exactly what she said because I was dumbfounded). She did not like that I just stood there looking at her with shock. "I will have your job you old crow if I don't get some service. I demand some respect". I looked at her for a second and then burst out laughing. I mean I had tears pouring down my face laughing so hard. She of course got angry and told me not to mock her. I said "Oh my gosh this is too good not to mock. I did not believe idiots like you existed." She then of course went on a tirade that she would talk to the manager, have me fired, etc etc. Everyone was staring here is this woman going off the deep end and I am howling in laughter. Once I got myself under control I slowly walked towards her forcing her to back up and said very clearly - "I don't work here, leave me alone or I will defend myself". She started screaming and carrying on then hauled off and slapped me across the face. I said "oh Shit" and decked her one right on the bridge of the nose. Now this tends to break the nose and cause a lot of blood, but it also tears up your eyes and lands you on your butt. I leave walk to customer service desk and ask them to call the police. When they got there I told one of the cops what had happened and what I did, when I looked over to the area that the idiot was I was amazed to see a bunch of people patiently waiting to talk to the other cop. It seemed that everyone was willing and eager to tell the whole story complete with Kapow sounds and gestures. One guy came up to me and shook my hand saying he had not had the good a show in a long time. So I am ashamed to say that there are Karens living in our part of the world but oh boy was it a good feeling to deck her for all the other victims she has probably had.
The audacity of that B to hit you is incredible! I think all Karens caught in public should have mandatory psych evaluation before being turned loose on an unsuspecting populace.
The first story may just have set a world record for ridiculousness. I have no idea what strippers wear outside of the clubs, but I have trouble imagining Waffle House uniforms would be the clothing of choice.
@@adamf663 Not to mention you have to be in great physical shape to do some of those dance moves they use the pole for these days! They even have pole-dancing exercise classes now for the average person so they can simply get in shape!
Story 2: Is that Karen deaf or something? OP said that she didn't work there, THREE times!! Poor OP, I hope she made herself something to hot drink to calm down or ate something sweet. Story 4: Can totally picture the way EOM was going on and on.....face all red, and steam coming out of his ears LOL Story 5: I enjoyed this one. Especially the part where the Police Officer had to tackle the Karen when she tried to make a run for it.
I once heard someone in a store yell loud enough for everyone in the store to hear, 'I DONT WORK HERE YOU STUPID FUCKING MUPPET!' Nearly pissed myself laughing when I heard it. I was at Michael's.
Yep, Karens seem to forget cameras are a thing quite often so I doubt they'll have a record of which stores have cameras and where they are. At least, not until AFTER the encounter! "Don't try anything at Lowe's, they've got cameras.."
For the Walmart story: After he wishes her a Happy Holidays and she says to say Merry Christmas I would just look at her like “Ok. Well Happy Christmas and Merry New Year” just to bug her.
Had a co-worker years ago that got butthurt about "Happy Holidays". I memorized a dozen or so different late December holidays from around the world, and just peppered him with every one of them. He was not amused.
@@SIS3W3N 'Boo hoo, the world doesn't revolve around MY religion and MY views!' Ay, let us know when he finally has his 12th birthday; I'll get him a book on manners.
As a Wiccan, I’ll obligingly return fire with a “Happy Yule!” when somebody gets butthurt about how inclusive “Happy Holidays” is! These Religious Reich nutjobs forget that December not only has Christmas, but also Yule, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve, Festivus, and even the odd year when there’s a Hindu or Muslim holiday added to the mix! They need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that theirs is NOT the only holiday in the mix and that Happy Holidays ACKNOWLEDGES that fact! Cripes!
I think some people get upset over "happy holidays" because of the whole "war on Christmas" narrative. It seems silly to me; media outlets dig up instances of perceived injustice against the holiday, then use it as rage bait because making their viewers angry increases engagement, which for them = $. And the rest of us have to deal with the angry, entitled BS of people who believe their holiday is under attack and lash out at the rest of us for daring to acknowledge that Christmas isn't the only holiday at that time of year. I think the real war on Christmas was lost long ago...its been coopted as a secular greed fest that tries to creep earlier each year and ends on Christmas Eve. I prefer to celebrate from the 25th through 6 Jan. By then, the greed fest is done and I can actually relax and enjoy the holy day.
Karens like the ones in these stories make a very strong case for bringing back the good old custom of putting publicly quarrelsome and disruptive individuals in the stocks and letting them be jeered at...
Story 3: Oh God, I feel for this woman so much! Airports and railway stations are the worst during holidays. Before the pandemic, my mum and I used to visit family during Easter and even though we didn´t have bad experiences at airports before, Chinese railway stations are another story. The last time we were in China (2019), we were at the station in our hometown to buy tickets back to Shanghai. We waited nearly 1,5 hours until it was our turn. When it was only 2 customers before us, a middle-aged lady wanted to jump queues because she was late for her train. I got furious! Why should we let her do that when she can´t manage her time? We waited for 1,5 hours! The customer before us said, that she should queue up like everyone else, and her missing her train is no excuse for her bad time management. She started yelling and cursing. Then I jumped in and said calmly: "God Lord, you should be ashamed of yourself that you behave like this in front of the younger generation. I am 24 and know how to act properly! Watch your mouth, there are kids around." I said this because there were kids around with their grandparents as well, they shouldn´t hear these cuss words. You could see how embarrassed that lady was. The seller from the ticket station told her that she didn´t care that she is going to miss her train and she is not selling her anything unless she queues up. The Karen wanted to argue with her, but the seller flat out said no and she needs to queue up or leave, otherwise she will call the security. Finally, the Karen backed up and left. Seriously, I applaud the workers there for handling these types of situations. They have to face these types of Karens literally every day.
I feel like the woman in the first story was just jealous that Op is prettier than her because, quite frankly, a gas station employee is not that big of a step up from stripping in terms of job/customer quality, money is supposed to be better as a stripper, and morally there’s nothing wrong with either so jealousy is the only thing that makes sense to me, especially considering Op was in a waitressing uniform.
@@viawood289 FR, and have a really mentally taxing job, too (just from how some men can get, and cops too) So not just strong in body but in character, too
She could have been one of those rabid Evangelicals who seem to think that they need to be the "morality police". In truth, some strippers start out their act in a waitress uniform, and then remove it, but their costumes are usually more revealing than what an actual waitress would wear on the job, and they do NOT wear the costume out of their workplace. I'd have to say, having worked in restaurants and diners for over half my working life, that if she was being tipped dollar bills, she must have been a great waitress, because those I worked with usually only got change as tips. A former housemate of mine worked as a waiter in a fancy hotel/resort, and he got bills as well as change, because the customers there were fairly wealthy, and many tipped well for good service, which he tried to provide.
My advice to anyone going to target or Walmart or any store with a uniform color shirt, go to your local Spencer’s Gifts and buy your self a hentai shirt. Keep it in your bag/locker at work and change after your shift (I get sometimes you’re tired af but sometimes those few minutes can be spared) if you go to these stores after work or wear them when you plan out your grocery/shopping trips before you leave home. Some of the shirts have large enough pic’s and Lewd Complex has some very borderline NSFW designs that no Karen can ever mistake as an employee uniform
The last Karen doing that to me would have had a throat punch immediately followed by the foot sweep, putting her out. And thanks to the video, still get her arrested.
I was shopping at a grocery store and paid in one dollar bills. The guy checking my groceries asked me where I dance. I had no idea what he was talking about. I finally told him I had a garage sale.
Just to inject the memory of toys r us where you had to get that yellow paper thing with the price of the game to the window for the person to check it and grab the game.
Story 1: In my country, if anyone sees you with a roll of 1's, they think you're a taxi driver. LOL Story 2: Karen: "I've been waiting forever!" Me: "No Karen, it's just you that makes a minute seem like forever!"
When I worked in a gift shop a man payed with a bunch of singles and, unprompted, said he was planning to go to the club last night but didn't make it. Or something along those lines. The information people volunteer can be fascinating sometimes.
I worked at a big department store in the mall during my winter break from college. They were training me to be a "cashier " so I was shadowing another employee. I'm standing at the register waiting for my person when a Karen walks up with an arm full of clothes. She puts them down and tells me she wants to put them in layaway. I tell her that I'm new and not trained for that yet. She goes off, screaming and cursing at me & drawing a crowd. I decided to do as she demanded & rang her up having *no* idea what I was doing. I wonder if they ever found her order.🤔🤷🏾♀️
Hello, I certainly hope the gentleman who worked at Ace Hardware sued the woman the Clawed him So badly. I hope that woman spent a good amount of time in jail. And then had to clean the side of the road for about the rest of her life.
I used to work as a bank teller and I had a regular who came in with a stack of singles when I first met her I teased her about being a dancer and then said her day job was a waitress we laughed and then it became a rolling joke every time she came in. She said she would wait to see me because we had fun and she said she enjoyed the fact that I thought she could be a dancer at her age. We had fun and never take life too seriously sometimes you have to make fun or else you will see how seriously bad things can be.
People that scream 'Its merry Christmas', I scream back 'Hail Krampus! The bringer of misfortune!' or 'Bah humbug, ya cockroach!' That usually makes them flabbergasted.
This is why people need to press charges. The woman that worked at the airport who was assaulted by a customer who was just a witch needed to press charges people will not learn how to be civil without spending some time or money on legal penalties.
Story 2: what OP learns is to avoid big stores during busy seasons. Good idea. But even better is to learn to stand up for yourself. Without resorting to violence.
If I were a stripper, I'd probably take her venomous attitude to be nothing more than jealousy since I would have gotten paid to be attractive and she didn't.
@@louisejohnson6057 Gee, I don’t know, a) because there might be kids around, b) she might get a load of creeps being all pervy and harassing her and c) because Karen’s exist! 🤦♀️
#3 That crazy Karen got banned from her intended flight, and need to get banned from that whole airport. In fact, she need to get banned for life from each and every airports of the country. May also add all train stations, maritime ports, ... Also, she need to have criminal charges pressed against her. #4 Yes, just ignoring those entitled Karens can be the best thing to do. That COM probably filled a complain about OP wanting him fired, and about the employee for not acknowledging his presence. Then, the manager probably just filled it in the shredder folder. #5 That Karen is going straight to jail, for a few YEARS !
Today is July 14, and the store near my home is having a _F***in Christmas In July_ sale. It’s great. F***in Santa Claus is there, and they even put up f***in garland and f***in lights.
I have never, in my life, seen someone try to touch an employee in any way. Even my really entitled family members. It genuinely feels like Americans are lying but I know you all aren't, godspeed you brave bloody soldiers 😩
I literally work in retail and thankfully rarely run into Karen's. Midwesterners tend to be nicer I'm general though. I'm sure if I worked in the coastal states or bigger cities than my own it'd be a different story.
All these stories point up the very great need to have more mental institutions, because more and more people are totally insane and should be held away from general society!
It's always the Christians that have lived in Christian-dominated cultures all their lives that act the most slighted, sometimes, I swear. The looks I've gotten for saying I'm pagan is like I've personally slighted them, and I'm not even American... so I can only imagine the temper-tantrums I'd see there
It takes some really advanced mental gymnastics to hear "I don't work here, I work at another store" as "I work here and I'm on break." I don't even know how someone can make that leap.
Story 2 + 3: I swear, a lot of people seem to just lose conscience (if they had any to begin with) over a minor inconvenience and go towards verbally/physically attacking people
I'm an aussie and swear I've never seen behaviour like this. And I had a few karens in my family, but they just got snarky and made unnecessary comments while waiting. They didn't yell or anything, even when exasperated.
@@adamf663 A lot of those convicts were Irishmen that were activists against Britain's imperialism. They were fighting against British oppression, and were taken away from their homeland for it. This happened even during the Great Famine. A majority of the convicts were Irish, too. And then a splash of other celtic peoples, as well as Brits. So of course we got the better deal.
Glad that the last guy decided to press charges because it sounds like she did some major damage - and even if she hadn't she still crossed the line and should've been charged.
People need to remember that airport staff is not like any other customer service they might normally encounter, if you harrass them enough they are fully empowered to declare you a security risk and airport security DOES NOT PLAY!
1st story: what Waffle House has Karen seen? did she walk into one that actual was a strip joint (one that used word play to have a simular name?) and assume all waffle houses are strip joints? Or does she think she is the only non stripper woman outside of her family not a stripper? I mean who confuses someone clearly in a waitress uniform from a waffle house for a stripper? either deeper stuff. like husband says he was going to waffle house but was really going to a strip joint?
As a comment in the video explain, strippers usually collect one dollar tips from her customers, but the comment also explain that they usually exchange it with the club so they don't have to bring home wallet full of one dollars.
Story 1: reminds me of a joke where my dad said he called his cousin a "two bit whore" and she hit him with her sack of quarters. But really, wtf was wrong with the Karen for kicking out a paying customer bc she thought she was a stripper? Good thing the boss was there to fire her ass. Story 2: I don't care if she's a woman- if someone grabbed me, they would be on the floor. If I had worked there I would have called a manager & had that hag banned from the store permanently. Story 3: I wish OP had pressed charges since she was actually injured & had a bruise. Karen should have gone to jail for that one as well as being banned from flying. Story 4: Old entitled dudes can be the worst. I've encountered a few. My friend's grandfather is like that. He honks his horn at people, snaps his fingers, & tries to order people around. He learned that didn't work with me so he asks me nicely for things but he bosses around my friend & some of the younger male friends like they are servants. Story 5: I really don't know what gets in to some people-- that she was nasty enough to draw blood bc she was too stupid to understand he didn't work there. Even if he had worked there its no excuse. I'm glad he pressed charges. Too bad he didn't sue her for pain & suffering.
Story 5-the fact that she thought it was appropriate to assault someone if he DID work there is a sign of how sociopathic that Karen was. “But I thought he worked here!” Is not an excuse for attacking someone. What is wrong with these people?! They are dangerous and violent.
In regards to the old dudes, not an excuse but explanation. Older people often have a lot of chronic pain. You can't see it but believe me we feel it. Even the nicest of us can have a really bad day. We sort of snap and become feral. Sometimes we can be absolute aholes because of it. Allow me to apologize for us in advance. Sorry you caught us on one of our bad days. Then there are the mean ones who are angry at the world for some slight they experienced 40 years ago. No fixing them.
@@renel7303 I'm middle-aged but have had chronic pain for years. I have lost my temper & snapped at people but I've always apologized afterward. I've never physically assaulted anyone or been as nasty as people in these stories though. So, I do get it. But I think a lot of times people are just jerks. My friend's grandfather has been a jerk his whole life. Before he was disabled (by an accident at work in his 20s or 30s) he was beating his wife and kids & making his wife do everything at home. After he became disabled she had to go to work and still do all the housework. He was capable of doing it, but he wanted servants/slaves & treats other people like garbage.
I remember saving up for a new laptop with a bunch of odd jobs. I ended up bringing a little over $600 to the store, a good chunk being $1 bills, so I wondered what the cashier would think. She was more concerned that she had to put that much cash in the safe since it wasn't allowed to have over a certain amount in the register. Gave me a little perspective, even if it had been from stripping, that most people would be more concerned with what they've got going on to notice/care. A different cashier put it as "you have to do what you have to do" when I apologized for having so many single bills and I keep those two in mind when I start overthinking stuff.
Story 5: I'm unclear why we don't hear more stories where the Karen not only gets arrested, but the OP sues them. Especially when they're dripping money like that.
Ace at Walmart story: OP, sorry you had to go thru that, but thank you for pressing charges. It's the only way these people learn, if they're capable of learning at all.
I've been mistaken for an employee at least four different times in grocery stores in the past two years or so. Each time the people just accepted it and moved on when I told them that I didn't work there.
That last Karen never asked. She demanded. People like this are the devil. I work in retail so I run across people like this all the time. You cannot imagine the joy it brings to me when they ask for a manager and I get to tell them that I *am* the manager. I also don't put up with any bullshit. Lol
good thing about the last story, guy actually grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard and pushed back, rather than saying, "i have anxiety and stared to cry"
My heart goes out to this woman; I too suffer from social anxiety, and this is THE main reason I no longer partake in the whole Christmas holiday thing, I HATE shopping as it is, and each and every year I BEG those who know me to PLEASE DON'T give me Christmas gifts, because then I WILL feel obligated to HAVE to hit up one of these big box stores or a shopping mall and return the favor; I just want no part of ANY of this. I avoid all stores like the plague from about Thanksgiving Day until about a week or two AFTER the new year, I just can't take the crowds and what I call "The hypocrisy of Christmas."
If I were the Ace Hardware guy, I'd go to hospital, press charge against her and make her pay whatever I spent on the hospital... mainly if that were US. lmao
I absolutely love this. I work in a medical clinic, and this helps me, by reassuring me that I am not the only one that has to deal with crazy. Keep up the good work.
Dang, that’s really scary with what had happened in the last story. You just never how one can seriously hurt a person simply by grabbing them. So many of us are able to hide our sensitive, or deformed or lacking there of underneath our clothes. And what may be thought of a simple scratch that had been enough to draw blood would take weeks to heal rather than a few days with a healthier person. I had cancer and had a few of my parts removed due to it all. One part had been my breast and even though it’s been a few years past, dang, it is still really sensitive to touch and it will hurt if you do. Sometimes it can even ache a few days with no reason. None of it fun. I cannot imagine someone running into that part or hitting it would cause me. I do know if it’s deliberate, okay, I don’t know, but I’m leaning to a whoop a ss if they’re the same se x as I am. I’ve had a few bumps and jolts and it takes more that a day to not feel the pain any longer. Heck, as I’m typing this, its starting to ache no matter how small the movement. So I feel absolutely terrible for the gent in the last story. I cannot imagine the pain he went through and in all of those weeks in a sling, just so he could properly heal. My goodness, I actually hope that Karen spent some good time in jail. Let her stew over what she did, and hopefully, but not for certain, treat others with more respect, because you just don’t know where they’ve come from or their story.
Gotta love when people scream at airport staff and are surprised to be grounded. Add assault to that and we got a winner.
Pp
Last time I was at the airport I asked the security guy something, he signaled he was deaf so I just pointed at my camera (if I needed to put it somewhere, first flight ever) so he nodded and all nice. While i was putting my shoes and stuff back on the other side this old man was screaming at the guy and another security staff just pulled him to the side. Why is people like this 😭
@@rai1879 Perhaps the guy noticed the Guard was deaf and was just doing the old "IF I TALK LOUDLY AND SLOWLY, DOES THAT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" tactic?
One thing a lot of these “people”(I use that term very loosely) don’t know is that airline employees are considered public safety employees. That upgrades the assault to a felony
I'm guessing the lady wasn't all there in the head. Engine's running, but no one in the cockpit, you know?
First story
I used to work at a gas station. We don't get a right to insult customers based on their appearance. What that cashier did was unexcusable
Now if we could only apply that the other direction…
If that's how that person deals with strangers minding their own business, they can starve. Plenty of decent people without jobs out there.
Should have gotten her Sued for Discrimination, Slander and Defamation of Character...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Not worth the cost if she's trying to work retail.
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan At least, she got fired on the spot for gross professional misconduct.
With this last story, what makes me dislike entitled people so much is that they can’t look past the fact that they hurt someone. Op is bleeding, BLEEDING, which she caused and she just carries on. Shame that human compassion and concern is lost on these people
She was blathering so much I doubt she noticed.
Standard Karen doubling down on a lost cause!
She noticed. Which is why she kept doubling down on the accusations. It is the "Amber Heard" Syndrome. If you aren't getting enough personal attention, you just keep adding more to the story to sensationalize it.
But in this case, as soon as the woman saw blood, she knew she was cooked. Her only thought process was to make it appear as self defense. Only she didn't know when to shut up as she panicked.
A few days in jail probably would do her a world of good. No doubt in my mind that she hired an attorney, plead down, and cried like a banshee as she apologized for her behavior to the court. If I was the judge, I'd make her do community service, pay for the guy's medical bills and pain and suffering, and call it a day. The booking and a day or so in county jail can do a whole lot to humble a wild Karen. The assault on a police officer alone would all but guarantee she would stay in county jail until she stood before a judge. She wouldn't be released on her own recognizance. Two assaults ... yeah, she would be cooling her heals in lock up for a minute. If reality didn't strike we they did her photos and finger prints, it sure would have come home to roost as soon as she had to strip down and do a cavity search.
Narcissists rarely ever care at all about anything except themselves. They have no empathy. The only time they have anything close to feeling guilt is when they're ashamed at being put on blast and exposed for what they are. They gas light, emotionally manipulate, lie, cheat, steel and violate every other boundary placed in front of them because they have no respect which is thanks to not having any empathy. Believe me, I was raised in a very large family that behaves much like these entitled people in these videos.
@@iononcantomascrivo Yeah, it's sad. For someone like myself who feels things deeply and wants to see the good in other people, it's hard to wrap one's head around narcissists. It's also even sadder (and maddening) that such people will take advantage of kindness to further their lives until you are no longer useful. I have worried that I was a narcissist because I like to talk about myself, but the fact that I have this awareness shows that I'm not. We all have self-involved traits, but narcissists feel nothing.
Karen in Walmart…..she assaulted you. Always press charges against Karen’s…..always!
Many of these out of control "karen" antics sound like symptoms of untreated mental illness. Perhaps if the police have to deal with them enough times, it'll get them on the list for the treatment they need. I'm probably being overly optimistic though. In the US, it seems that mental health is very much overlooked/ignored/stigmatized and isn't reliably covered by health insurance.
Charges, sharp objects, six of one, half dozen of the other...
YUP! Because it's the only way they'll learn
ALWAYS!
OP should also have hit her with his medical expenses as well.
I'm short and have often had to ask random strangers in shops if they'd fetch something from the top shelf from me. I've never been refused. If I ever was, I'd just say thanks and move on to the next random. If you're polite and just want a quick hand, people are usually only too pleased to help. There again, I'm not an entitled arsehole.
I remember being in a Walmart with my mom. We needed something off the top shelf but are both really short. As I’m reaching and stretching for it, this guy comes around and asks what we need, offering to help. We thanked him, talked, joked about short people problems, and thanked him again before going our separate ways. That interaction made our day.
Same issue with me. A "please " accompanied by a smile helps a lot. And seeing you futilely stretching upward usually seals the deal. Oh, don't forget that "Thank you" after.
I once asked a lady if I could please borrow her taller husband to reach something for me. She responded "Ok with me, if he wants to." He was nice and reached it for me. I then thanked him & her & asked her to give him a hug for me. He said "Thanks, I like that idea!".
@@janicegandt4550 That was so awesome! 🥰❤️
As I'm over 6'-1 I'm always happy to help nice fellow customers.
I laughed way too hard at Karen throwing her purse and hitting the cop and then getting tackled to the ground.
It’s SOO satisfying to have a story where Karen actually gets her comeuppance for bad behavior.
So funny
In almost every car club, "hit it with your purse" comes up often with stuck bolts, etc to get them to move. This is the first time I've heard it work...
It is a hilarious mental image😂
Story 1, I was a waitress in my youth, on & off at several places! At one diner one of my regulars was a stripper, I never seen her with a bunch of one dollar bills. That cashier is an idiot thinking a waitress is a stripper. 🤦♀️
Yeah most strippers now days wouldn't sit still for ONLY ones!!🤣🤣
Just add idiocy to her current title of judgmental B.
I spent a year working as a delivery driver and I would always swap out my $1 and $5 bills for $20’s before I clocked out, partly because it saved my boss trips to the bank for change the next morning and partly because carrying a huge wad of tips in the cash bag in my back pocket for the 14-mile drive back home would literally be a pain in the ass!
My ex's sister worked at a waffle house for night shifts and said the dancers that came in after work were always really polite and tipped well. They did get a bit loud at first, but nothing too much. They were college students and best friends who studied at times together. She said she liked their energy and made the place lively for awhile during boring times. After a few months they graduated or moved. She left a year later and didn't see them again.
I have a daughter who once worked at a restaurant. She once had a bundle of ones and asked me if she could swap for a $20. I said sure. A little later I was shopping and went up to the checkout. The bill was small so I decided to pay with cash. I pulled out the bundle of ones. The cashier looked at me for a couple of seconds, and said, “So, one of your kids works at a restaurant, huh?”
Why can’t Karen’s realize they can’t act like that in a airport. That type of behavior could get her permanently banned from the airport
Write a report, okay OP, but how about informing police about an assault? Surely? Get the little lady the attention she so obviously needs.
Banned? Try jailed. Airports fall under Federal jurisdiction in the US. Watched the Secret Service pull someone off a flight once. She's in federal prison now.
@@pansprayers Since this was Germany, they may have a different system in place. Security probably contacted the police about the incident, anyway.
@@benwagner5089 yeah, German airport police carry Mp5s...
Should, not could.
I vote that if ANYONE assaults and treats any employee(s) of ANY airport or ANY airline, they should be put on a NO FLY list, and required to write a letter of apology to the person(s), and have pay a day's wage of the person(s) to be allowed to fly again. If any additional issues like that happen again, they should be left on the NO FLY list, and their face, name, and what they did/said blasted on the news for all to see. But that's my opinion.
*year wage* to compensate.
Airlines should share such lists.
Airline groups should anyway
EDIT. If OP is on about Lufthansa, Karen should be grounded on all Star alliance airlines
Starting a petion.
Screw the Written Apology, it will NEVER be Honest or Sincere...
Ban them from EVER flying on that Airline ever again, put them on the No Fly List for a year (for the first Offense, Permanently for the second) and call the Police to have them Arrested and Charged for Assault and Battery...
After they pay their Fine and serve their Prison Sentence (if any), if they're not in their Country of Residence, Deport them and Permanently Bar them from ever reentering that Country again...
THAT is the ONLY way (other than simply shooting them in the head with 2 Deer Slugs out of a double barrel 12-Guage) to properly deal with an Airport Karen...
The point is, even if the person is an employee, it is not ok to mistreat others and belittle them. Respect everybody despite their occupation.
Should be legal everywhere to handle Karens with force.
They usually cross a line eventually, so technically they're fair game when they do. Actions have consequences, but most people let just let go because people don't want to deal with them anymore and they learn nothing
I would like to treat them like Murder Hornets and sic a bunch of bees on them to take them out, lol!😂😂👍👍
It is, if they attack you first. Which they eventually do.
It's called 'self-defense', and it is legal.
they all need the spankings they DIDN'T get as children...this goes for male Karens (Darren's?? Chad??) too!!
When listening to these stories I'm always amazed that people think it's OK to not only touch others but pinch, claw, spit on, etc.
I was taught by the age of 5 to keep my hands to myself and not put my hands on random strangers. I guess that isn't the case anymore for some people at least.
My mom was named Karen though she was nothing like the women who do this crazy stuff. Honestly, I'm glad she passed away before "Karen" became a thing. I feel for all the good Karens out there.
So do I. The entitled Karen's give all of the decent ones with that name a bad rap.
@@audreyricci6383 There's also an ethnic group by that name that has a fairly sizeable refugee population in the States. I honestly feel bad for those Karens having to share a name with sufferers of can-I-speak-to-your-manager-itis.
I don’t think anyone judges people with the name Karen by these crazy entitled “Karens”.
@@stephanien6237 I hope not. Having your name be a whole "thing" still has to be annoying at times, I think. Having to explain you are not one of 'those' Karens would get old fast, IMO.
It's possible I'm just projecting. I get tired of explaining my name sometimes.
@@stephanien6237 Karen isn't the only woman's name that has been coopted to describe a stereotype; its just the one that has caught on to the point of being a well known meme. For instance, try looking up what a Betty, Becky, Susan, and Stacey mean.
I don't prejudge people based on their names, but when I meet a Karen who also acts like a karen, I do find it amusing.
Story 1: Making stupid assumptions doesn't pay off, episode #10,000,000.
Story 2: Why do these idiots think everyone in eyesight works at whatever store the idiot happens to be shopping in? The store does not have the physical space required for everyone on Earth to work there. The employee should have wished Karen the holiday she deserved.
Story 3: Someone never learned how lines work, apparently. She also sounds like she's unfit to be out in society.
Story 4: Male Karen, stop assuming that everyone within eyesight is an employee wherever you happen to be shopping. You are old enough that you should know better.
Story 5: Another idiot that needs to listen with her ears and not her mouth. Good on the OP for fighting back, because anyone who attacks someone unprovoked should get some pain back. Also, do all of these people actually forget about security cameras in the store? This should be common knowledge by now.
Story 4: When the old guy said this is your last warning, that always gets my attention in that kind of situation, but not for the reason he thinks. "Oh, you're WARNING me? Exactly WHAT are you warning me of? No, please, elaborate on what's going to happen when I don't do what you want."
You do know this stories are fake right...? Do ypu actually believe them? Have you taken your medication?
@@nomames6030 Sshh, don't tell Karen that. She thinks she's famous.
Besides, after having Cheeto-45 as President, anything is possible.

Even if OP had been a stripper in the first story there would still be no excuse to treat them like that. That cashier needed to get her head out of her own ass and drop the holier than thou attitude.
Holier-than-thou; swears like a sailor.

@@dinascharnhorst6590 Well, the very concept of "swearing" has always been deeply-rooted in class and racial bigotry. Typically, those who swear profusely have a better vocabulary and better morals that those who refrain from using an arbitrary selection of words for no rational reason.
@@nboddie1036 some people don't recognise the validity of certain things, and in their mental gymnastics they decide it must be illegal.
@@SIS3W3N Because of the term "Holier-than-thou" utilized by OP, I'm thinking this judgemental person is professing to be a Christian and would do well to go back and read the book of James in the Bible: he spoke at great length about controlling the tongue.
On the other hand, perhaps the Judgemental One is a product of upbringing and class and has nothing to do with religion at all.
Never ceases to amaze me how people will get rowdy at an airport like theres not cameras, security, and police literally all over the building
Lol! They are stupid on top of being entitled self-centered AHs.
Does anyone ever wander around Walmart hoping to run into a Karen? I think I’m going to start!
I will give you a number to a good life insurance.
I work for Walmart and I met a guy who parked in the police parking spot I told him so and yelled at me " Do you know who I work for"
I do! I'd love to meet a Karen in a store and then let her have it! Full on humiliation and if he/she gets physical then it will become WWE - Walmart Edition!
Repo man spend his days getting into tense situations Beltzer
Dusty (Twister)
I stay out of Walmart for just this reason!
I'm with you,Fluff. There is no reason to aggressively touch anyone ever. Employee or not.
My son used to carry and pay when shopping with a lot of $1 bills. That was his share of the nightly tips from the bar as he was the front door bouncer.
I used to work with some friends at several flea markets. They would fill their gas tanks on the way home. A lot of the time, they paid with nothing but quarters, as long as they had enough to have $200 for change for te next flea maket day.
For no apparent reason, I'm reminded of when I owned a honda 360 twin motorcycle in 1989 where I'd give the attendant a dollar to fill the tank and have some change left over.
My son works at a pizza place and I would frequently give him rides - until he finally got his own car. He usually gave me gas money out of his tips. So I’d wind up with a pocket full of $1s & $5s to pay for my gas or groceries.
@@lynneconklin917 and how do you feel about your son turning tricks? Sorry for the silliness.
And even if they strip, or work the streets, it's none of Karen's business. Sex workers have the right to buy gas, food, whatever. I wonder if she would harass the men who frequented the strip clubs had she been able to identify them?
She probably applied for a job as a stripper and got turned down.
Probably. Karen’s don’t seem to understand right and wrong.
They're higher up on the totem pole than gas station attendants.
Let’s face it, there wouldn’t be sex workers if men weren’t out looking for sex with women/boys.
@@adamf663 So they think but they are not.
Ok DarkFluff I have to admit there are "Karens" in my area. This is the first I have ever seen live. I was in our local Superstore and I was reading ingredients on a package in the frozen section area when this woman grabs my arm and whirls me around, yelling that I help her instead of wasting time on my shift. Now I am 60 years old, wearing business attire. I told her "Excuse me??" and she responded telling me we were out of some type of chicken fingers (not sure exactly what she said because I was dumbfounded). She did not like that I just stood there looking at her with shock. "I will have your job you old crow if I don't get some service. I demand some respect". I looked at her for a second and then burst out laughing. I mean I had tears pouring down my face laughing so hard. She of course got angry and told me not to mock her. I said "Oh my gosh this is too good not to mock. I did not believe idiots like you existed." She then of course went on a tirade that she would talk to the manager, have me fired, etc etc. Everyone was staring here is this woman going off the deep end and I am howling in laughter. Once I got myself under control I slowly walked towards her forcing her to back up and said very clearly - "I don't work here, leave me alone or I will defend myself". She started screaming and carrying on then hauled off and slapped me across the face. I said "oh Shit" and decked her one right on the bridge of the nose. Now this tends to break the nose and cause a lot of blood, but it also tears up your eyes and lands you on your butt. I leave walk to customer service desk and ask them to call the police. When they got there I told one of the cops what had happened and what I did, when I looked over to the area that the idiot was I was amazed to see a bunch of people patiently waiting to talk to the other cop. It seemed that everyone was willing and eager to tell the whole story complete with Kapow sounds and gestures. One guy came up to me and shook my hand saying he had not had the good a show in a long time. So I am ashamed to say that there are Karens living in our part of the world but oh boy was it a good feeling to deck her for all the other victims she has probably had.
YEAH!!! I love your story!
The audacity of that B to hit you is incredible! I think all Karens caught in public should have mandatory psych evaluation before being turned loose on an unsuspecting populace.
@@stephanien6237 I'd love to see them be told that, then go berserk about how they're "not crazy".
The first story may just have set a world record for ridiculousness. I have no idea what strippers wear outside of the clubs, but I have trouble imagining Waffle House uniforms would be the clothing of choice.
It takes a hell of a lot more skill to be a pole dancer than a gas station attendant.
Imagine a fetish, then you won't have any more trouble imagining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@adamf663 Not to mention you have to be in great physical shape to do some of those dance moves they use the pole for these days! They even have pole-dancing exercise classes now for the average person so they can simply get in shape!

@@a.w.1499 There you are, the pervert (´∀｀)
I would love to have been a fly on the wall in the Court Room with the crazy Karen from the last story. Wonder if she screamed at the judge.
I would not doubt it at all. She would have been held in contempt of court and either fined, jailed, or both.
Story 2: Is that Karen deaf or something? OP said that she didn't work there, THREE times!!
Poor OP, I hope she made herself something to hot drink to calm down or ate something sweet.

Story 5: I enjoyed this one. Especially the part where the Police Officer had to tackle the Karen when she tried to make a run for it.
Always a good idea to add assaulting a police officer to the list of charges, 😂
It’s honestly pretty awesome. Because she’s more likely to face actual consequences.

Last story: even if cameras aren’t there, pretend they are!
Yep, Karens seem to forget cameras are a thing quite often so I doubt they'll have a record of which stores have cameras and where they are.
At least, not until AFTER the encounter!
"Don't try anything at Lowe's, they've got cameras.."

As a Wiccan, I’ll obligingly return fire with a “Happy Yule!” when somebody gets butthurt about how inclusive “Happy Holidays” is! These Religious Reich nutjobs forget that December not only has Christmas, but also Yule, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve, Festivus, and even the odd year when there’s a Hindu or Muslim holiday added to the mix! They need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that theirs is NOT the only holiday in the mix and that Happy Holidays ACKNOWLEDGES that fact! Cripes!
I think some people get upset over "happy holidays" because of the whole "war on Christmas" narrative. It seems silly to me; media outlets dig up instances of perceived injustice against the holiday, then use it as rage bait because making their viewers angry increases engagement, which for them = $. And the rest of us have to deal with the angry, entitled BS of people who believe their holiday is under attack and lash out at the rest of us for daring to acknowledge that Christmas isn't the only holiday at that time of year. I think the real war on Christmas was lost long ago...its been coopted as a secular greed fest that tries to creep earlier each year and ends on Christmas Eve. I prefer to celebrate from the 25th through 6 Jan. By then, the greed fest is done and I can actually relax and enjoy the holy day.
Karens like the ones in these stories make a very strong case for bringing back the good old custom of putting publicly quarrelsome and disruptive individuals in the stocks and letting them be jeered at...
Story 5: Actions have consequences, Karen getting arrested is Karma for everything she did to OP
We can only hope-and hope that it serves as a warning to other potential Karens.
Story 3: Oh God, I feel for this woman so much! Airports and railway stations are the worst during holidays. Before the pandemic, my mum and I used to visit family during Easter and even though we didn´t have bad experiences at airports before, Chinese railway stations are another story. The last time we were in China (2019), we were at the station in our hometown to buy tickets back to Shanghai. We waited nearly 1,5 hours until it was our turn. When it was only 2 customers before us, a middle-aged lady wanted to jump queues because she was late for her train. I got furious! Why should we let her do that when she can´t manage her time? We waited for 1,5 hours! The customer before us said, that she should queue up like everyone else, and her missing her train is no excuse for her bad time management. She started yelling and cursing. Then I jumped in and said calmly: "God Lord, you should be ashamed of yourself that you behave like this in front of the younger generation. I am 24 and know how to act properly! Watch your mouth, there are kids around." I said this because there were kids around with their grandparents as well, they shouldn´t hear these cuss words. You could see how embarrassed that lady was. The seller from the ticket station told her that she didn´t care that she is going to miss her train and she is not selling her anything unless she queues up. The Karen wanted to argue with her, but the seller flat out said no and she needs to queue up or leave, otherwise she will call the security. Finally, the Karen backed up and left. Seriously, I applaud the workers there for handling these types of situations. They have to face these types of Karens literally every day.
I worked at Walmart as a temp for 6 months during a busy season. You can’t pay me enough to work in the hell that is retail ever again.
I feel like the woman in the first story was just jealous that Op is prettier than her because, quite frankly, a gas station employee is not that big of a step up from stripping in terms of job/customer quality, money is supposed to be better as a stripper, and morally there’s nothing wrong with either so jealousy is the only thing that makes sense to me, especially considering Op was in a waitressing uniform.
I would be jelly of a pretty stripper... They are strong people who have great stamina!
@@viawood289 FR, and have a really mentally taxing job, too (just from how some men can get, and cops too)
So not just strong in body but in character, too
There is something hilariously ironic about a gas station attendant criticizing the social status of a customer.
Also, Strippers are offered more protection than gas store employees
She could have been one of those rabid Evangelicals who seem to think that they need to be the "morality police". In truth, some strippers start out their act in a waitress uniform, and then remove it, but their costumes are usually more revealing than what an actual waitress would wear on the job, and they do NOT wear the costume out of their workplace. I'd have to say, having worked in restaurants and diners for over half my working life, that if she was being tipped dollar bills, she must have been a great waitress, because those I worked with usually only got change as tips. A former housemate of mine worked as a waiter in a fancy hotel/resort, and he got bills as well as change, because the customers there were fairly wealthy, and many tipped well for good service, which he tried to provide.
My advice to anyone going to target or Walmart or any store with a uniform color shirt, go to your local Spencer’s Gifts and buy your self a hentai shirt. Keep it in your bag/locker at work and change after your shift (I get sometimes you’re tired af but sometimes those few minutes can be spared) if you go to these stores after work or wear them when you plan out your grocery/shopping trips before you leave home. Some of the shirts have large enough pic’s and Lewd Complex has some very borderline NSFW designs that no Karen can ever mistake as an employee uniform
That's... quite specific.
Love it XD
Karen : "NO! YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE!! SERVE ME!!!"
The last Karen doing that to me would have had a throat punch immediately followed by the foot sweep, putting her out.
And thanks to the video, still get her arrested.
I was shopping at a grocery store and paid in one dollar bills. The guy checking my groceries asked me where I dance. I had no idea what he was talking about. I finally told him I had a garage sale.

I worked at a big department store in the mall during my winter break from college. They were training me to be a "cashier " so I was shadowing another employee. I'm standing at the register waiting for my person when a Karen walks up with an arm full of clothes. She puts them down and tells me she wants to put them in layaway. I tell her that I'm new and not trained for that yet. She goes off, screaming and cursing at me & drawing a crowd. I decided to do as she demanded & rang her up having *no* idea what I was doing. I wonder if they ever found her order.🤔🤷🏾♀️

Sounds like malicious compliance to me. Lol(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻
Layaways are usually done at a customer service counter, not at the registers, even at large department stores, as far as I know.
@@jacklow9611 As far as I know that is how layaways are handled in most big department stores not at the cash registers.
@@audreyricci6383: Isn't that what I just said?
Hello, I certainly hope the gentleman who worked at Ace Hardware sued the woman the Clawed him So badly. I hope that woman spent a good amount of time in jail. And then had to clean the side of the road for about the rest of her life.
Last story... Hope that Karen got a lot of jail time.
Most likely. And i hope OP could get a slander charge against her for each individual lie she yelled/told the cops (all on camera as evidence aswell)
Women sure love pulling the “poor helpless woman card” yet forget cameras exist.
Camera's are Karens and Racists thier biggest fear.
I think you forgot to start your comment with the word "Some".
Don’t forget they start crying and screaming when some get handcuffed and hauled away by the police
I used to work as a bank teller and I had a regular who came in with a stack of singles when I first met her I teased her about being a dancer and then said her day job was a waitress we laughed and then it became a rolling joke every time she came in. She said she would wait to see me because we had fun and she said she enjoyed the fact that I thought she could be a dancer at her age. We had fun and never take life too seriously sometimes you have to make fun or else you will see how seriously bad things can be.
People that scream 'Its merry Christmas', I scream back 'Hail Krampus! The bringer of misfortune!' or 'Bah humbug, ya cockroach!' That usually makes them flabbergasted.
Or you could go Dwight Shrute on them and yell "BelSchnickel is nigh!" in a creepy voice.
This is why people need to press charges. The woman that worked at the airport who was assaulted by a customer who was just a witch needed to press charges people will not learn how to be civil without spending some time or money on legal penalties.
DarkFluff calling us his wonderful, beautiful friends will never get old
Even if OP were a stripper, that's none of Karen's business.
She's jealous. When she tried to be a stripper, the customers were yellling, 'Put it on! Put it on!' 😁😁😁😁😁
Story 2: what OP learns is to avoid big stores during busy seasons. Good idea. But even better is to learn to stand up for yourself. Without resorting to violence.
Last story: Seeing this start off so wonderfully, only for it to end so crazily is nuts!
Story 3... she needs to have a long stay in a room she doesn't have the key to, so she can learn that her behaviour is not acceptable.
Even if someone strips for a living who cares?
If I were a stripper, I'd probably take her venomous attitude to be nothing more than jealousy since I would have gotten paid to be attractive and she didn't.
The same reason trailer parks are looked down upon, stereotypes and stigma
Even if she does, she’s not likely to advertise it in broad daylight in a public place, is she?
@@EditorOfSL , why not? It's a legal job. The woman who strips, probably makes in a month, what Purity Karen makes in a year.
@@louisejohnson6057 Gee, I don’t know, a) because there might be kids around, b) she might get a load of creeps being all pervy and harassing her and c) because Karen’s exist! 🤦♀️
story 2: so even tho OP has a CART!!!, Karen still can't comprehend that OP doesn't work here
#3 That crazy Karen got banned from her intended flight, and need to get banned from that whole airport. In fact, she need to get banned for life from each and every airports of the country. May also add all train stations, maritime ports, ... Also, she need to have criminal charges pressed against her.
#4 Yes, just ignoring those entitled Karens can be the best thing to do. That COM probably filled a complain about OP wanting him fired, and about the employee for not acknowledging his presence. Then, the manager probably just filled it in the shredder folder.
#5 That Karen is going straight to jail, for a few YEARS !
You learn something every day. I didn't realize the proper greeting was "F-in Merry Christmas."
Today is July 14, and the store near my home is having a _F***in Christmas In July_ sale. It’s great. F***in Santa Claus is there, and they even put up f***in garland and f***in lights.
I have never, in my life, seen someone try to touch an employee in any way. Even my really entitled family members. It genuinely feels like Americans are lying but I know you all aren't, godspeed you brave bloody soldiers 😩
I literally work in retail and thankfully rarely run into Karen's. Midwesterners tend to be nicer I'm general though. I'm sure if I worked in the coastal states or bigger cities than my own it'd be a different story.
All these stories point up the very great need to have more mental institutions, because more and more people are totally insane and should be held away from general society!
Thank you.
The Karen in the Walmart needs to check her privilege! Saying "Happy Holidays" doesn't mean "I shit on your Merry Christmas"!
"Oh, you poor thing. Does your family know you don't plan on living until New Years?"
It's always the Christians that have lived in Christian-dominated cultures all their lives that act the most slighted, sometimes, I swear.
The looks I've gotten for saying I'm pagan is like I've personally slighted them, and I'm not even American... so I can only imagine the temper-tantrums I'd see there
Usually I'd just politely say merry christmas.
She’s not a real Christian, she’s an angry woman with a chip on her shoulder.
I hate, hate, HATE people that leave their cart in the middle of the aisle!
It takes some really advanced mental gymnastics to hear "I don't work here, I work at another store" as "I work here and I'm on break." I don't even know how someone can make that leap.
Story 2 : don't forget not just christmas, but BLACK FRIDAY too.
people who get butthurt over "Happy Holidays" really need to take a long soak in a bath of humble pie.
Be sure to say Happy Advent, since the 12 days of Christmas start on Christmas Day! 😘
What better way to express gratitude for all we have than to go on a killing shopping spree.
I'm still waiting for my first Karen encounter. I'm 73 and FAR from shy in my old age! Lol
The last story. Insert "Boy that escalated quickly" Ron Burgundy gif.
Story 2 + 3: I swear, a lot of people seem to just lose conscience (if they had any to begin with) over a minor inconvenience and go towards verbally/physically attacking people
They never matured past the toddler stage.
I'm an aussie and swear I've never seen behaviour like this. And I had a few karens in my family, but they just got snarky and made unnecessary comments while waiting. They didn't yell or anything, even when exasperated.
@@damien678 Australia got Europe's criminals while we got their religious fanatics. Australia got the better deal.
@@adamf663 A lot of those convicts were Irishmen that were activists against Britain's imperialism. They were fighting against British oppression, and were taken away from their homeland for it. This happened even during the Great Famine. A majority of the convicts were Irish, too. And then a splash of other celtic peoples, as well as Brits.
So of course we got the better deal.
Glad that the last guy decided to press charges because it sounds like she did some major damage - and even if she hadn't she still crossed the line and should've been charged.
The one I really like is " What or who are you barking about, at Fido, or Rex?".
After the 3rd time saying "I don't work here" I would just walk away, if they do anything thanks for giving me a reason to call the cops Karen.
People need to remember that airport staff is not like any other customer service they might normally encounter, if you harrass them enough they are fully empowered to declare you a security risk and airport security DOES NOT PLAY!
Seriously, mental hospitals need to create Karen wards!
Where they don't have a Charge Nurse, but a Manager. 😀
I think about this often. There also needs to be a number you can call so the big guys in white pajamas and butterfly nets can come get them.
Thank your lucky stars that you've never had to work a retail job! It makes me happy to hear that you've never had to deal with retail purgatory.
1st story: what Waffle House has Karen seen? did she walk into one that actual was a strip joint (one that used word play to have a simular name?) and assume all waffle houses are strip joints? Or does she think she is the only non stripper woman outside of her family not a stripper? I mean who confuses someone clearly in a waitress uniform from a waffle house for a stripper?
either deeper stuff. like husband says he was going to waffle house but was really going to a strip joint?
As a comment in the video explain, strippers usually collect one dollar tips from her customers, but the comment also explain that they usually exchange it with the club so they don't have to bring home wallet full of one dollars.
Story 1: reminds me of a joke where my dad said he called his cousin a "two bit whore" and she hit him with her sack of quarters. But really, wtf was wrong with the Karen for kicking out a paying customer bc she thought she was a stripper? Good thing the boss was there to fire her ass.
Story 2: I don't care if she's a woman- if someone grabbed me, they would be on the floor. If I had worked there I would have called a manager & had that hag banned from the store permanently.
Story 3: I wish OP had pressed charges since she was actually injured & had a bruise. Karen should have gone to jail for that one as well as being banned from flying.
Story 4: Old entitled dudes can be the worst. I've encountered a few. My friend's grandfather is like that. He honks his horn at people, snaps his fingers, & tries to order people around. He learned that didn't work with me so he asks me nicely for things but he bosses around my friend & some of the younger male friends like they are servants.
Story 5: I really don't know what gets in to some people-- that she was nasty enough to draw blood bc she was too stupid to understand he didn't work there. Even if he had worked there its no excuse. I'm glad he pressed charges. Too bad he didn't sue her for pain & suffering.
_Always press charges._ That's the lesson.
Story 5-the fact that she thought it was appropriate to assault someone if he DID work there is a sign of how sociopathic that Karen was. “But I thought he worked here!” Is not an excuse for attacking someone. What is wrong with these people?! They are dangerous and violent.
@@stephanien6237 Agreed. I think a lot of the behavior gets excused and these people often (but not always) have others who enable this behavior.
In regards to the old dudes, not an excuse but explanation. Older people often have a lot of chronic pain. You can't see it but believe me we feel it. Even the nicest of us can have a really bad day. We sort of snap and become feral. Sometimes we can be absolute aholes because of it. Allow me to apologize for us in advance. Sorry you caught us on one of our bad days. Then there are the mean ones who are angry at the world for some slight they experienced 40 years ago. No fixing them.
@@renel7303 I'm middle-aged but have had chronic pain for years. I have lost my temper & snapped at people but I've always apologized afterward. I've never physically assaulted anyone or been as nasty as people in these stories though. So, I do get it. But I think a lot of times people are just jerks. My friend's grandfather has been a jerk his whole life. Before he was disabled (by an accident at work in his 20s or 30s) he was beating his wife and kids & making his wife do everything at home. After he became disabled she had to go to work and still do all the housework. He was capable of doing it, but he wanted servants/slaves & treats other people like garbage.
I remember saving up for a new laptop with a bunch of odd jobs. I ended up bringing a little over $600 to the store, a good chunk being $1 bills, so I wondered what the cashier would think. She was more concerned that she had to put that much cash in the safe since it wasn't allowed to have over a certain amount in the register. Gave me a little perspective, even if it had been from stripping, that most people would be more concerned with what they've got going on to notice/care. A different cashier put it as "you have to do what you have to do" when I apologized for having so many single bills and I keep those two in mind when I start overthinking stuff.
the second story, I would have said "sure let me go get the key and disappear"
Everytime I hear a story like this and I hear "flying tackle" I can't help but laugh
Karen: EXCUSE ME!
Me: You're Excused, the bathrooms are in that direction!
No! There is no excuse for being a KAREN!
@@michaelterrell The "Karen Syndrome" seems to be getting way out of control. Unfortunealy it is also incurable.s
@@audreyricci6383 It's too bad that there is no 'Karen Season' to thin the herd!
Thank science I now do almost all of my holiday shopping - Christmas, birthdays, everything - online and early.
Sounds like the EP in the last story has NEVER heard about, " When You hit Rock Bottom, STOP DIGGING!"
Story 5: I'm unclear why we don't hear more stories where the Karen not only gets arrested, but the OP sues them. Especially when they're dripping money like that.
Ace at Walmart story: OP, sorry you had to go thru that, but thank you for pressing charges. It's the only way these people learn, if they're capable of learning at all.
I've been mistaken for an employee at least four different times in grocery stores in the past two years or so. Each time the people just accepted it and moved on when I told them that I didn't work there.
That last Karen never asked. She demanded. People like this are the devil. I work in retail so I run across people like this all the time. You cannot imagine the joy it brings to me when they ask for a manager and I get to tell them that I *am* the manager. I also don't put up with any bullshit. Lol
To the Karen who called Wal-Mart a 'dump', I'd say "THEN WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?"
She lives in a sewer. 😆😆😆😆😆
If it is as bad as you say, go somewhere else and see if they will put up with your extremely bad behavior.
@@audreyricci6383 She has likely been banned from everywhere else.
@@michaelterrell I don't doubt that at all. Maybe she was banned from other places in town, like restaurants,beauty salons , etc.
@@audreyricci6383 She may end up banned from everywhere, but hell.
Karen was lucky. My version of social anxiety flips the switch not to cry setting but Hulk mode sans the green.
Cameras, the universal Karen equaliser
You and me both
THe Walmart Karen saying he SAed her made me literally go OMF WTF!?!?! Out loud...
She likely couldn't get a man to touch her for under $1000.00!
Story 5: It’s astonishing how many of these stories include the entitled person completely forgetting that retail stores are full of cameras.
I always cashed in my singles when I lived on tips wether I was dancing , bartending , or bar management
I was in retail management for over 30 years...what makes this this way too much fun? My birth name is Karen!🤣
Nobody's perfect! 😁
"it's a bird , it's a plane, it's a flying squirrel, it's Superman . It's the flying nun ,No it's the amazing super flying cop" 20:55
Story 1: Maybe Karen assumed that OP had Karen's Dream Job and got jealous
Robbie Rotten immediately popped into my head when she said “arrest him not me” in the last story.
good thing about the last story, guy actually grabbed her hand and squeezed it hard and pushed back, rather than saying, "i have anxiety and stared to cry"
Story 5: Sad what OP went through because entitled woman. Hope OP made a full recovery from wound and doing well. 🙏
My heart goes out to this woman; I too suffer from social anxiety, and this is THE main reason I no longer partake in the whole Christmas holiday thing, I HATE shopping as it is, and each and every year I BEG those who know me to PLEASE DON'T give me Christmas gifts, because then I WILL feel obligated to HAVE to hit up one of these big box stores or a shopping mall and return the favor; I just want no part of ANY of this. I avoid all stores like the plague from about Thanksgiving Day until about a week or two AFTER the new year, I just can't take the crowds and what I call "The hypocrisy of Christmas."
If I were the Ace Hardware guy, I'd go to hospital, press charge against her and make her pay whatever I spent on the hospital... mainly if that were US. lmao
For story one: better a lot of ones than a lot of quarters!
I absolutely love this. I work in a medical clinic, and this helps me, by reassuring me that I am not the only one that has to deal with crazy. Keep up the good work.
Story 4 if I was berated by an old man like that. I tell him stop and say there is cameras in this area. So you best be on your best behavior.
Dang, that’s really scary with what had happened in the last story. You just never how one can seriously hurt a person simply by grabbing them. So many of us are able to hide our sensitive, or deformed or lacking there of underneath our clothes. And what may be thought of a simple scratch that had been enough to draw blood would take weeks to heal rather than a few days with a healthier person.
I had cancer and had a few of my parts removed due to it all. One part had been my breast and even though it’s been a few years past, dang, it is still really sensitive to touch and it will hurt if you do. Sometimes it can even ache a few days with no reason. None of it fun.
I cannot imagine someone running into that part or hitting it would cause me. I do know if it’s deliberate, okay, I don’t know, but I’m leaning to a whoop a ss if they’re the same se x as I am. I’ve had a few bumps and jolts and it takes more that a day to not feel the pain any longer. Heck, as I’m typing this, its starting to ache no matter how small the movement. So I feel absolutely terrible for the gent in the last story. I cannot imagine the pain he went through and in all of those weeks in a sling, just so he could properly heal. My goodness, I actually hope that Karen spent some good time in jail. Let her stew over what she did, and hopefully, but not for certain, treat others with more respect, because you just don’t know where they’ve come from or their story.
