      Yes, it was confirmed that he booked the big room first then canceled and booked that room. It was a scam to make the hotel think it was a mistake on their end and upgrade him for free. I'm sure it usually works out for him, he just didn't plan on the hotel being fully booked and that's why he behaved that way. Not used to not getting what he wants.

    i remember the hotel one. iirc, the guy booked a larger room first with 2 beds. then he cancelled that reservation supposedly because it was too expensive and booked the room with the pullout. then he came in and was basically trying to get the larger room for the smaller room's price. he acted like it was the hotel's fault, but he deliberately changed his own reservation and was trying to scam them out of a better room. he didn't count on the front desk standing their ground and refusing. i love that she just ended up cancelling his reservation entirely lmao

      You can kind of see hints of it when Cody said “that’s the best way to deal with crazy people, be chill about it”-there’s this fallacy where as long as you’re being ‘nice’ you’re never the one in the wrong. You can say anything as long as your tone is calm and even-keeled.
      The idea is for that Karen in particular she wanted to goad him into being so fed up he struck her (as many of us would be tempted to do) since what was on camera was her “asking nicely” and not her running around his store fucking with his employees. It’s all about optics with these people.
      It’s not really Cody’s fault he’s not familiar enough with the behavior to know that there are ways to harass others without yelling at them or saying a single mean word: for example, stalking is harassment, persistent flirting is harassment, and so on. The key is if you tell someone to get off your property or out of your personal space and they insist on hovering around you, there’s a pretty high chance it’s harassment.
      When it doubt, record it on video. If someone’s delusional enough to twist a situation as harassment when it’s blatantly not, the public will usually let them know 😂

      I kinda feel for her. I had a case when an employee yelled at me and said they could not help me with my sim card (even though a day ago they gave me a faulty sim card and said to return it if it does not work), and made me cry (I am ashamed to admit it, but he was so rude). When he saw me crying (I tried to be discreet, but he saw), he told me to get out of the shop. The other employee then helped me and replaced the card saying sorry. When I asked what was the name of the first because I wanted to file a complaint, he started saying that I was threatening him and that he was going to call the police (I asked once and was not yelling). Maybe I was Karen, but there were other bad reviews about this employee and his coworker said he often reacts aggressively, so I thought the complaint could be the only way to save other customers from such treatment. She was not right for nagging several times, but I think we do not see the whole picture.

A Kyle is a monster drinking, skateboard poser, who lives in his mom’s basement and decorates by punching holes in drywall.

There is no excuse to treat people like this, regardless of gender. HOWEVER, we must consider that women are much more likely to be physically harmed than men. It's not an opinion, its a fact. Also the whole; 'you ppl are the reason we cant speak our emotions or fears' is ridiculous. The OP never stated men don't do this. The OP only stated that, as a women, the risks are higher.

One way to deal with that is to give the same response, but worded slightly differently each time. It creates the illusion that you are presenting multiple responses, which shuts down the effectiveness of someone trying to just stubbornly blast the same question until they get what they want. Well done!

She seemed more like someone who got overwhelmed by the stress and frustration of trying to figure something out, asking someone for help about it, and they just tell you to figure it out on your own. I could be wrong but she wasn’t really attacking anyone but rather venting frustration about not being helped. I will also say I didn’t like how the worker kept egging her on when she clearly agitated. I work in the service industry and we are not taught to make the problems worse and make customers feel bad. If the lady had been verbally abusive, attacking her, etc then sure I wouldn’t blame her but she wasn’t doing any of that.

      My personal opinion about that one is this is a woman who has autism and there's some kind of fixation going on there about rules generally. We don't see the full explanation from the video, but that's my read of her motivations and mannerisms. Not convinced it's "karen" territory either... the only one which fit that criteria clearly was the woman who scared the child on his bike. The rest are untreated mental health issues in the wild and then an angry, entitled man at a hotel. If anything the only real karen was actually the darren.

      @@RSmith-qd2ukI’m not sure generalizing or diagnosing people is a good idea. Like even if she did have autism, that conversation is not justified. Autism does not give you a pass to follow someone around and honestly assuming she has autism and coping up the other angry people to just being mentally ill does not help the stigma on mental health. Part of that reason is why mental health is so frowned upon. Society’s image of mental illness is skewed to believe we are dangerous while in reality, those dangerous cases are rare. Some people just do not have control of their emotions and it doesn’t necessarily mean they have a mental disorder.

I have a lot of people in my family who have bipolar/schizoaffective and when they are blowing up like that it's complete non sense, they can barely string a sentence together and are quickly jumping from one thing to another. Her thoughts are clear, she's making sense (like grammatically), and she is connected to reality. Personally this comes across less as mental illness more as she's just a super entitled nasty person.

If i were in her shoes and she had access to a computer with the booking system on it i would've brought the customer over and physically show him why his request is not possible. Sometimes customers really have no idea how these things work but usually once you show them they start to cool down and comply. Props to her though for keeping composure; sometimes you really want to shout at these customers but you never really know how they would react to that and if there is a potential for violence, so you have to de-escalate as much as possible as not to get on their bad side

    The biker vs dog owner is so funny, the way he's saying "You're really making me laugh today" in a tone like she just paid him a compliment is so great.

      Technically, she was right. He was putting all three of them in danger by walking in the bike lane. He wouldn't walk into oncoming traffic so, he shouldn't walk in the bike lane.

    The hotel one is infuriating. The guy kept putting words in her mouth that she never said and trying to pin her in an no win situation. Victim card so hard

      I was listening to him and fallacies kept spewing out of his mouth.

    The “May I please have your name” lady reminds me of the scene from SpongeBob where Patrick is like “May I take your hat sir? May I take your hat sir?” 😂 right?

    The second video with the hotel receptionist? Pure gold. It's like watching a one-sided video game fight where one player is spamming the same move but she's dropping flawless combos. Then another customer chimes in? Boom! It's as if she uses the in game environment object to send him crashing through a wall. Calm under pressure is the ultimate power move. It's better than getting dragged into their game. He couldn’t land a hit, and she never gave him an inch while remaining on the defence the entire time. And that "I'll be here till 11"? Perfect finishing move. 🎮👾
