The Most Jaw-Dropping “Karen” Encounters These Kids Could Never Forget Revealed!
Not my parent, but my grandparent. It’s super uncomfortable. Even from a young age I knew the way she treated service workers was unfair, but if I tried to speak up to calm her down or get her to back off, she would scream at me for not defending family. To her, you always have to defend family, even if they’re wrong… it’s a frustrating philosophy to have to deal with.
She’s also just generally oblivious and I genuinely don’t think she realizes the extent of trouble someone could get in if they did what she wanted them to. Like when she would harass people at toll booths, I don’t think the idea that if the employee gave her preferential treatment they could lose their jobs even registered with her. Like not even that it just doesn’t occur to her… I think she just doesn’t understand it. I don’t know how to explain clearly, but stuff like that genuinely doesn’t exist as ideas in her brain. The effect her actions can have on others just like doesn’t exist to her.
To put it in short, it’s frustrating and I try to avoid her as much as possible. Yes, she’s a Karen to family members too. I hate her.
Cried and sat down on the floor when a worker told her she had enough of the free samples. Didn’t stop until a manager gave her a box of what they were sampling for free.
My white mom tried taking 2 giant bottles of water through security at LAX in her carryon. There were only 2 or 3 TSA around and all were black. She was screaming “This is reverse racism!!” at the top of her lungs. Thankfully we were at a tiny terminal so the scene was fairly small.
From the other side, a middle age man yelled at me when I was waitressing and told me that me forgetting their tap water made his wife cry in the bathroom.
After they left, his two teenage daughters came back in to seek me out and apologise to me and say the mum was crying because the man had made a scene and ruined her birthday. Wild stuff.
There are so so so many instances but here are just a few
1.) my mom and i went to get breakfast at hearty’s, as we pulled up to get our food, she noticed the worker wasn’t really smiling and handed our food to us rather abruptly. this led to her demanding to see a manager and when that got her no where she ended up calling corporate with the intention of getting that person fired.
2.) we were in walmart and she had picked up an item that had a coupon on it and was planning on using it, but upon reaching the register it was found out that the coupon was expired. the cashier refused to honor the coupon and then my mom demanded to see a manager who also refused to honor it. she then stormed out of the store and dropped our bags of groceries in the middle of the floor and left them there.
3.) we were going to a pawn shop one time and someone took the parking spot she was planning on parking in. she got out of the car and completely raged at the driver then went inside the pawn shop to get the owner/manager (she knew him) because she was so angry. but he didn’t do anything so as usual, she ran with her tail tucked between her legs.
This one restuarant had a few unrelated offers from different sources she had collected and was convinced she could get $300 worth of food for free. They said they would accept only one (which was still an excellent deal). Held up my sister’s birthday for it and pretty much every restaurant employee was involved and get yelled at.
She had to take me to hospital from school and didn’t want to be away from work very long. She screamed at the nurse in the ED about why she couldn’t just drop 14 year old me off and leave lol.
