    Post Your Karen experience. Tell us about them.

    Ok, I recently learned about the new phenomena known as "Karen" -- as in the "Can I please speak to your manager - Karen"

    Karen.jpg


    I was thinking - we've probably all seen them. So, I'm curious - can you post them?

    My favorite:

    Mrs. U and I were on a cruise. There was an adult comedy routine down in one of the clubs and it was on a first come / first serve basis. Mrs. U loves comedians and the guy was from Bath, Ohio - couple of miles from us and where Lebron lives when he's not LA'ing it. First come, first served - NOT SEAT SAVING. So, Mrs. U and whoever we were with got there nice and early. Shortly before the comedian came on, we notice a commotion and some woman was giving the "what for" to one of the hands. Finally, I heard it: "I want to speak to your manager" -- it seems she was the only one in her party there, and wanted to save 5 other seats. She was having a melt down, losing it. The manager came out and she gave it to him. Screaming, wanting to know who his manager was etc. He offered to go get some folding chairs but "no" she wanted "these" chairs and she didn't care about the "no save" rule. The people that were sitting in the Karen's seats, graciously moved and her family trudged in 5 seconds before the start. The comedian then excoriated her and she promptly huffed out.

    Karen!!

    No Karen but I do have a Carl. I was at a jazz club/restaurant in Knoxville TN sitting on the patio where smoking was allowed. At the table next to me were three guys, one of whom lit up a cigar. The table next to them was a male who immediately started complaining about the cigar smoke and wanted to see the manager about the "stench". The manager told him it was a smoking area and the men were allowed to smoke cigars at that part of the bar. He continued to rant and rave until finally the man with the cigar put it out. Not 30 seconds later the complainer got up and left.

    I pulled my mask down to breathe while I was walking my dog, and some middle aged white lady ran into my 6 foot space to tell me that I wasn't wearing my mask and that she was going to call the police on me, lol. I don't know if that classifies as a Karen or not, but she spoke and carried herself like one of those kinds of broads.

    I loved the video of that teenaged girl who said she had the right to shoplift.

    One of the TV talking heads was laughing that she was running without a mask and some woman stopped to yell at her by pulling down her mask and screaming put on a mask.
