#Karens #EntitledParents #Storytime
Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this little rant!! PLEASE hit like and leave a comment it really helps
I wonder if you can get the recording from the restaurant security cameras that shows this story? I would like to see it! Having it could add to the channel which in turn could help get the silver UA-cam award for the second channel? Just an idea.
❣
You go girl, I would have done & said exactly the same ❤😂
I’ve had to work with these types of Karens during my time in supermarkets, entitled women of a certain age older than myself and some of whom are also managers, where my last store where I’d been working for 17 years were full of Karens and it goes well beyond just mere bullying or gaslighting - the worst thing is that their entitled behaviour and attitudes is both toxic and contagious and they train others to behave this way, they train their nieces and daughters as well as their nephews and sons to adopt their toxic mindsets - if they don’t get their own way, they go on a tirade of screaming rows on the shop floor in front of customers, while calling you all the most disgusting names under the sun, not allowing you to speak at all in your defence, constantly telling you to shut up and then, having you called up on a disciplinary hearing when they created the incident in the first place by their own narcissistic, entitled, abusive, hypocritical attitudes, using things like false accusations of “your” perceived (by them) “rudeness” as a cover for their conduct and behaviour, for which they expect you to take responsibility - it does not help either that many of them come from ex-Millitary backgrounds (which they can use “training” as an excuse) for their major attitude problems - having a later in life diagnosis of autism myself, there are those who still believe and maintain that the “only” way to “manage” adult autism is by means of ultra-strict Millitary-style discipline
"I'm not in retail anymore, I don't have to be quiet," is SUCH a powerful realization.
It must have felt so good to finally not back down.
Roly: she said something to me like "i can't believe you've done this to me"
My brain: "IM NEVER SHOPPING AT BHS AGAIN"
😂😂😂
YOU'VE MUGGED ME
I read this in Luxeria’s voice 😹💕
YOU'VE MUGGED ME GIRLS 😫
You showed her son that it's ok to stand up to her, that she's all bark and no bite. Maybe one day he'll remember you and feel able shout back at her when he's older. X
Oh yes! I didn't even think about that!
I would have loved to see this happening to my mum! She fucked me up a lot by being like this woman...
I would’ve given anything to be a fly on the wall, these type of people are so used to others backing down. Good for you Roly for standing up to her!
I wish I could have been there to join in the dog pile 😂😂😂
Judging by the reaction of the husband, I bet this has happened so many times before. That poor family must be annoyed with her. Hope you’re doing well Roly ❤️
That's probably why they left her behind, so they wouldn't have to deal with her drama for a while.
Uhg.... I've had run-ins with bloody Karens like that before. It's absolutely awful if you get trapped in a lift with them too.
The last time I was stuck in a lift with someone like that, and my patience wore out, I turned to her and said "Lady, I don't know you. You are insignificant to me. Thankfully, it's highly unlikely we'll ever meet again. But if you don't shut your mouth, turn around and get out of my personal space, you better be prepared to cover your child's ears fast, or they'll be learning a whole new colourful vocabulary"
She got off at the next floor, and as the door shut, I heard her kid say "but this isn't the right floor though"
Wise choice Karen.
At a previous retail job that I had, we had a deaf couple who would come in sometimes. I know a fair amount of American Sign Language so I was the only one who could really help them in a way that wasn’t a complete pain in the ass for them. We built a really nice relationship with each other and I miss them dearly. Well, anyway, one day they were in the store and I was helping them order something online (we often had to order items to their house since we didn’t carry the woman’s size in-store very often). There was another woman in the store at the same time who was a total Karen, and also a regular customer. She took a liking to me for some reason and always insisted that I be the one to help her, even if I was busy and we were well staffed that day. Well, on this particular day, as I was helping out the deaf couple with their order, the Karen was just standing right there next to them trying desperately to get my attention, because she wanted me to be the one to check her out, even though there was another cashier right next to me who was free. I kept telling her to hold on and that I would get to her once I was done helping them, but she would not listen. I was very clearly signing back and forth with this couple, and Karen kept saying “this is taking too long! Can’t somebody else help them?!” I was finally like, “ma’am, this couple is deaf. . . I am the only one here who can assist them. You can either wait for me to be done, or anybody else would be happy to assist you.” After saying that, it was like for the first time she realized that I was, indeed, using sign language with this couple, and said in a huff, “well, how was I supposed to know that!!” We definitely talked some shit about that lady in ASL haha. But like, how fucking entitled!! Even if they weren’t deaf, why can’t you go to literally anybody else?? Why does it have to be me? I was helping them first, please fuck off or wait your turn.
Can't imagine being so full of yourself to the point of not being able to notice weird gang signs.
Wow. What an entitled twunt. A decent person would've apologized for being so dense.
Bless you! I have never worked in retail but in care and I get some really entitled residents that only wanted me to having to tell them that they need someone else as I'm dealing with someone who needs more care than you do right now
Her insistence on wanting a photo screams to me that she's trying to play happy family and create evidence of it - but the family aint happy gurl 😬
Edit: Love the fact you had the courage to say something too! The retail freeze is so real! And people who try to use their children as shields are up there with the worst
Agreed, my mother wasn’t near this bad in public (only in private lol) but she always wanted to take pictures even if I didn’t want to. At least she had the sense to make sure the backgrounds were nice lol
*a wild Karen appears*
she had no idea what she was in for 😂 take care! ❤
She’s dead
@@ExtraRoly a dead body.
I had a Karen encounter at a bus stop, she was talking at me fully aware that I could hear her because of my _massive headphones_ . Before I even got a chance to take them off she just went off on me about how rude I was for ignoring her asking for my seat, which I would've offered had I known. I ended up shifting my stuff over so she could sit down, during which time she was calling me names and telling me to apologise. I looked her dead in the eye and said 'no because i have nothing to be sorry for.' And to really wind her up when a mum and her kid showed up I offered my seat immediately and shot the Karen the fakest 'eat shit' smile I could muster. The look on her face was 👌
As someone who is childfree and doesn't like kids the whole "how dare you do this in front of my kids" just doesn't work on me. A male karen once had a go at me for crossing a red light (on foot, no car in sight) while he was waiting with a kid that was probably too small to even remember anything. I needed the bathroom and was in pain, so I was in a hurry. I was also still closeted at the time and battling dysphoria along with an eating disorder. So when he yelled at me about being a bad example to his crotch fruit I completely snapped and verbally tore him a new one.
As you should.
'Crotch fruit' I cant😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jennifervalerio3273 My favourite term is muff missile
I usually go with "crotch spawn" myself.
How do these people not get that it is a parent's responsibility to teach their kids how the world is supposed to work, not literally every single person's on the planet? If the kids see someone doing something they shouldn't try to emulate, don't yell at the stranger doing the thing (another thing kids shouldn't do), explain to the kid why it's wrong and/or dangerous! Why is that so hard for some people to grasp?
Good on you for speaking up. These people need to be called out on their bad behaviour.
Second comment after I finished the whole video! Lol about the worst Karen I've encountered so far. So now that I'm out of the service industry after waitressing and bartending for over 18 years and dealing with those type of Karens, I now work with IDD adults (which are mentally disabled adults) and I absolutely love my job now! But anyway, I was picking up one of my clients like I do a few days a week and his neighbor comes flying out to my car while I'm waiting for him to come outside. She was screaming at me like a lunatic because the front of my car was in front of her driveway. Now mind you, I wasn't blocking her in or anything, she wasn't trying to pull out of it, and I'm literally there for 5 minutes tops. So while she's yelling at me I'm just staring at her smiling, trying to kill her with kindness and I said I'm very sorry, if you were trying to leave I would have moved, I didn't realize it was a big deal. She said there's plenty of room to park across the road and this is the 3rd day in a row you did this. I said, well no, i haven't been here in the last 2 days, so that was obviously someone else. She started yelling again and saying shes gonna get me fired for disrepecting her, blah blah blah. Even though all I did was try to explain that it wasn't me. I said ma'am, I'm picking up a disabled client and I do not want him to have to cross a busy street and get hurt. So then this bi*ch says, I don't give a f**k about the ret*rds you pick up, get the f**k away from my driveway. I was absolutely stunned. This is his neighbor! And you're calling him that?! I said wow what a classy lady you are, I hope you're happy that he just heard everything you said. He was in my car at this point. She said once again, I don't give a f**k. I said ok ma'am, have a blessed day! And that made her even more mad, so she took a picture of my license plate and said who do you work for. I said that's none of your business have a nice day, Karen and drove off. I was so angry. My client was really upset but said, yea she's always really mean to us. I don't understand why. So that broke my heart. So now everyday I go there to pick him up I make sure I wave as I drive by 😂
I'm sorry you and your client had to suffer that vile woman. Your story broke my heart. I have a brother with autism and my daughter is physically disabled with a learning disability and I dont think I could of handled that with the grace you did. Much love to you and all the people you work with. ❤️
@@hild4937 Aww thank you! Trust me, it was not easy! She just wasn't worth losing my job over. Everytime I wave to her she gives me the finger. Like how old are you? Grow up! I just feel bad for my client that has to deal with her all the time. He was so upset. I told my boss about it incase she ended up calling. She did not care at all. She said she hoped she did call because that was way out of line. I absolutely love my job now though. Those guys are the best part of my day! We get looks and stares everywhere daily and I just don't understand how people can be so mean. Love to you and your family! 💙
That’s absolutely disgusting. I feel terrible for your poor client but please continue to wave at that woman and annoy her as much as humanly possible 😂
Ugh. Vile woman. She clearly has no life so has to fill it creating drama.
Gawd, what a cvnt! Keep up the passive-aggressive wave (and smile if you do that too). It will get her so wound up that she will ruin her own day with her own hatred.
I love that you realized you didn’t have to have your customer service demeanor with that Karen. 💅🏻
"It's inappropriate and rude that you're calling me out, how dare you be so mean and intolerant while claiming I'M the one doing it to YOU!" with the "THEY ATTACKED innocent little me!" chaser these narcissists pull always makes my blood boil, especially weaponizing their kids to shut down conversation. As a fellow earth dweller I thank you for standing up to a karen and giving the reality check that they are inappropriate and the universe doesn't revolve around them!
The whole time you were talking about the Karen putting parts of her body in the lift doors to stop them from closing I was thinking about the Karen's surprise if she goes to a country where lift doors don't have sensors to open back up when there's something in the way and her arm or leg is just eaten by the lift.
You unlocked a core memory!
A friend of mine from Switzerland once told me about when lifts would just close and not bounce back (back in the early 2000's, not sure if they still do) in his Uni campus and people would stick their limbs in there all the time.
Not sure which European country he went to Uni at the time, it's been a while since we talked about elevators, come to think about it
@@kimielle that’s interesting! I wonder if they installed lift sensors on campus because of people that kept sticking their limbs in there. It’s weird how many things people assume will be the same when they go to a different place but I suppose the nuances of lift mechanics isn’t something that is usually thought of or talked about
I didn't even catch that part!
What if her leg was stuck, and the lift carried her up, like in those animated shows?
Then of course it would be Roly's fault for not holding the lift for her. And the video would be about how he's being sued for not holding a lift
Omg so I remember when I was 15, me and my friend went to meet up with our other friend after school, the day was going well and then I was like “Can we pop into Tesco really quick, I want to get a rockstar/Mountain Dew (can’t remember which one it was)” so we go in and this woman bumped into us with her trolley, we apologised even though it was her that walked into us but anyway we apologised and just thought nothing of it, we got to the isle where the drinks were and this woman had FOLLOWED US around the store, stopped us and just started SCREAMING at us because apparently she didn’t hear us apologise??? I can’t remember what she was saying exactly but the husband came along after seeing the commotion to ask what was going on, and I’m my head I’m thinking “Oh good he’s going to come and get her away from us” he was just as unhinged as she was, he was getting right in one of my friend’s faces, puffing out his chest trying to act all big and hard, and then I remember the woman looked at me and said “She needs to stop looking at me before I punch her in the mouth” to which my other friend responds “We’re looking at you because you and your husband are screaming at us for no reason” can I reiterate that we were 15 YEARS OLD, this couple had to have been late 30s early 40s threatening literal children in the middle of Tesco, I just wanted to get my drink and go. They then decided to walk away and the husband turns and says “I’ll be waiting for you outside” (which he wasn’t lmao) but still most unhinged Karen experience I’ve ever had 😹
…and _that_ is when you should have called the police and this them what happened, that this man threatened you, and that you don't feel safe. I'm guessing that the two of you were teenage girls.
If I've guessed wrong, then maybe going to the store manager and letting him know that you were threatened with assault and could s/he accompany you out to act as a witness if you get jumped.
Seriously, what a pair of sociopaths!
@@John_Weiss this was 11 years ago and at the time we didn’t think anything of it, we just laughed it off and went about our day really. And trying to make me feel bad about it doesn’t really help. You can’t change the past, and had they actually followed through with the threats and hurt any of us, I WOULD have got the police involved. But with just verbal threats alone I don’t think police would have done anything since there were no witnesses, it would have been our word against theirs and I don’t think the police would take the word of teenagers over adults so that’s why we didn’t think of that 😅 also my friends were guys though I’m not really sure how it’s relevant but since you brought it up??
@@PsychedelicKitten I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to make you feel bad about it.
My point was that there are horrid adult men in this world who think they can get away with _threatening teenage girls with violence._
Anyone who does that needs to be taught a hard lesson that threatening assault is not acceptable, in my opinion.
Again, I didn't write this comment to criticize you. I wrote it to say that you were _absolutely_ entitled to take that as a threat to your safety and thus _absolutely_ entitled to protection.
I brought up the "teen-boy vs. teen-girl" think because, having once been a teen-boy many decades ago, 😉I know what being marinated in testosterone does to your thinking. 😆 So my advice-to-a-teen-guy is based on the simple fact that:
(1) While teen boys are _also_ entitled to safety, teen boys are also testosterone-soaked-ego-monsters and going so far as to call the authorities would be a large hit to the ego. 😉
(2) Some middle-aged-male-asstrumpet who's willing to assault a teen boy is also willing to turn around and claim to be the victim, claiming that the teen started the fight.
Hence this old Internet Uncle-Gay's advice to teen dudes to inform someone with some sort of authority [like a store manager] that you've been threatened, and to ask them to be a witness in case you do have to defend yourself.
Lastly, not every reply to something you write online is an attack! Sometimes someone is responding to say, "You didn't deserve to go through that." There are still people around who mean others well, even if we're growing increasingly rare…
@@John_Weiss ah I apologise in that case, it just felt a bit guilt trip-y when I read it, maybe that’s just me though so I apologise for getting the wrong end of the stick :) Yeah I know not everything is an attack, just you can never really tell with UA-cam comments anymore, especially when most of the time a random responds to a comment, they’ve usually got something negative to say, I’ve gotten so used to it at this point I just expect it 😹
@@PsychedelicKitten No worries!
I'm so Gen-X that I forget that comments can come across so negatively unless you're really careful.
I’m sorry this wretch put such a damper on your first outing with Calum. I’m too nervous to confront people most days, but I’m expecting I will explode one day on a Karen because the anxiety gunpowder will ignite.
Looking forward to your vids about your tattoos!!❤
You were attacked by a Karen in the wild?! 😮
Very self-important and hypocritical! There is absolutely no reason to behave that way. How rude and dismissive that woman was! Unhinged is correct! 😮
I think you handled yourself wonderfully Roly. You tried to deal but she just kept escalating things and then was trapped in your face. 😮 I imagine I would’ve gone off on her too by that point. I hope that rattled some sense into her brain. Wow. You’re the Man Roly!! ❤
Hahaha love it. Attacked by a Karen in the wild 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that's awesome
@@5u1c1dal24 why thank you. I do enjoy humouring others. 🥰
Karen story:
So as a little background I'm a waitress at a little restaurant and I'm the ONLY night shift worker. This was earlier on when I was still kinda new (about 7 months in, I've been here for 7 years now).
My boss allows me to eat as soon as I get here with the other staff if I want to. That day I decided to get something because I hadn't eaten at all. I had 1 other girl sitting at the booth eating with me who was morning staff and she was about to leave. A lady walks in and stands at the front I get up to go greet her and get her taken care of. She begins berating me about eating and demands to know what right I have to eat while customers are coming in and out. I begin explaining the circumstances and she isn't having it. By this time the other girl had gotten up to grab a box to pack up the rest of her lunch. The karen clearly saw her in the middle of her rant and she looked at the other girl and said "i didnt realise there were more staff eating here but you should both be ashamed". Again like the newbie I was I explained to her that were allowed to eat at this time as long as we keep everything in check. Finally I brought the lady her food and told her to have a nice day. She scoffed and said "I won't be back"... unfortunately I still have to deal with Karen's of all kinds but its usually on our blue moon days or on Sundays when all the snooty people come in.
Thanks for reading ❤ I love your videos Roly 🌈 🖤
I used to get in trouble for thanking customers when they'd scream they won't be back. 😂 thankfully I work in a warehouse now instead of food service.
You know, last week when we went to our favorite taqueria, the cook and the waitress were just finishing up lunch. My husband said to me, after we finished ordering, "I feel so bad for interrupting their lunch!"
_That_ is how a decent person behaves.
Oooo, the tea is here and I'm ALL for it! Karen's have the most delusional, backwards way of thinking and they always give someone a good story! Love you, girl! 😊
Oh yes I thought by doing this at least something good can come out of it
Not all of us 😆
@@karenobrien6004 that is very true 😆
Honestly, if I'd seen her coming to an enclosed space, I would've been trying to get that door to close faster. Pointedly. I probably would've lost it way worse if I'd been trapped in there with her, but then, my go to response is usually "get away from me."
oh god my hate for karens is immeasurable.
Not me I hope 😂😊
Honestly Roly, you're speaking my language here. I'm still in retail, have been for over six years now. I cannot stand people who are as insufferable as that, it drives me insane! It's definitely gotten worse since covid. People are a lot more rude and entitled now than they used to be. Side note, you should call these videos 'the Karen files' 🤣
; ; if they had even a shred of social skills before Covid, they’re all gone now.
Oh Roly. Sorry you had to deal with such a loon. So many entitled straight people in this world. I think there should be a limit of the number of straight people allowed in places at one time. 🙂
The insistence of wanting to take a picture from the mom, while the rest of the family couldn’t care less tells me the mom is trying to play “happy family” and to have evidence online…when that’s not the case.
Good on you Roly for saying something. 💜 Wish more of humanity was like that.
Good work Roly! 👏🏻 People like that never get tackled for bad behaviour - so I’m glad you called her out on it!
😂 when you said it was mother's day I actually laughed out loud. It's women like that are the reason I don't go out for drinks on mother's day. Our local taxi drivers call it murder day lol. Poor Roly awww ❤
Your completely right - disrespecting other people is a huge red flag 🚩
Karens and Kyles genuinely need to hear "shut the fuck up" more often. If more of us told them that to their faces they'd probably learn to act better.
Bravo to you.
The fact that she brings up the fact that you are standing up to her in front of her child, but she is literally being disrespectful to random people in front of her own child. She’s teaching it wrong
I’ve had over 20 years of customer service experience (thankfully out of it now). Thankyou for being a decent human Roly and if I’d have done exactly the same! I feel terrible for the child but that’s not your problem Roly. You were 100% in the right and she deserves a talking to. All the love Roly! You make my autistic brain happy and make life easier to cope with! ❤❤❤
I’ve had many Karen encounters, but none yet as a “civilian” so I’ve had to be polite and customer servicey. I’m absolutely foaming at the mouth for the day I can speak up when a worker can’t.
Karen's are great for a laugh. I'm looking forward to listening to this ☕
Oh they are!!
Yesterday, I was at the laundry matt. A woman pulled in and was taking her baskets out of her car when she dropped one. An older woman walking by stopped and asked if she needed help. This women literally SCREAMED at her "NO! IF I WANTED YOUR HELP I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR IT! GET AWAY FROM ME!" The older woman stepped back, kinda shocked, and said "oh. Ok. Sorry!" I was like..wow. what a b.... then a little later, I'm sitting in my car with the window down and she's like "is this the calm before the storm?" I said "what do you mean?" She looked so offended and said "there's a huge storm coming through tonight. You don't watch the weather?" I dead panned looked her right in the eye and said "I prefer true crime. " she scoffed and called me ridiculous and stormed away 😂 it's rare to see an actual Karen in the wild!
The breed of parent that puts all decent parents to shame: the entitled parent 😅
I am very grateful to not have become a Karen. Thank you for this story. It was fun. ❤
Good of you to call her out on her disrespectful behaviour. As you said, probably no one has ever put a boundary on her behaviour.
Reminds me of the time I was in San Francisco airport. Horrible weather meant a lot of flights were delayed in the late afternoon-evening. This entitled couple in front of me at baggage inquiry lost their collective minds when they were told their checked luggage didn’t make it on our flight but would be coming on the next one in a few hours time. Mr Tweedle Dum and Ms Tweedle Dee both packed their house keys in their checked bags like absolute idiots. Both start screaming at the employee about how it wasn’t good enough that they were on the next flight and how were they going to get into their house now. Absolutely berated this poor woman over something she couldn’t control. They both stormed off swearing at her and I was just gobsmacked at the behaviour. Before I even asked about my own bags I said to her “I am so sorry that happened to you. That is not your fault and you don’t deserve to be spoken to like that”.
*Slams drunkenly into the lift door*
YOU ARE BEING INAPPROPRIATE AROUND MY CHI-ULD!!!!
Sweet baby Jesus Roly. I'm so sorry you had to deal with a trash human like that. One thing I did learn about Karens is that they really can't survive without making everyone around them miserable. It's almost as if they will die if they don't.
I would of just said “I thought you were just standing there” back to her 😂
My mother was taking my grandmother (80 years old at the time) on the Cable Car in Wellington, NZ. There was also a school class on the Cable Car, all of whom were taking up the seats. Mum asked a couple of the kids, who were 10 or 11, to stand up so Grandma could sit down, and one of the parent helpers turned around and said, no the child was to stay sitting for his safety. Mum, who was so polite to people, was a bit taken aback but politely pointed out the signs on the cable car that said children were to give up seats for elderly, pregnant or disabled people. That sign has been on buses and trains all over New Zealand since I was a child (I'm now 53.) This Karen started yelling at Mum saying that if the cable car stopped suddenly and a child was standing they could break a bone. The kids were all looking a bit embarrassed. Grandma had Alzheimer's disease and was a bit wobbly on her pins but she loved going on the buses and cable car. This woman just kept on going. There were a lot of very pissed off people on the cable car that day. Another adult stood up for Grandma and Mum. Mum wasn't asking for a seat for herself. That evening, when she was telling us about this, my very stoical mother, started crying. She couldn't believe that someone could be so horrible to a beautiful, dignified elderly woman. I am a former primary school teacher. I would never have let this happen. If it's so important for all children to be seated, you hire a charter bus.
Out having a special mother's day and the family doesn't even want to take a picture with the mother? That right there says it all.
You handled yourself very well Roly, I would've had a hard time not throwing hands at that Karen lol.
Trapped With A Karen is definitely horror movie material!
This reminds me of a time I was in a really busy public bathroom, and these two secondary school aged girls had locked themselves in one of the stalls and were just hanging out in there, chatting and watching tiktoks. They were in there for quite a long time, because a few hours later I went back to use the bathroom again, and as I was waiting in line an old woman banged on the door of their stall and told them to get out. They left giggling and acting like a weird crazy thing had just happened to them. What did they expect? Some people are just so entitled, why did they think a busy public bathroom with a long queue outside was the ideal hang out spot and that there wouldn't be consequences for it? Like you could clearly tell they've never thought about another person in their entire lives. It's the same attitude as the woman from this story.
Had you mentioned an American accent, I'd be thinking you met my brother's wife...
Also, welcome back, Callum! 🎉
I'm sorry you had to put up with that, but I imagine it felt really good to be allowed to respond. I hope this vent made you feel better after the fact. 💗
You never have to justify standing up to a Karen. Good work, Roly!
I had a really funny encounter with a Karen when on a night out. So for a bit of context I was a nightclub bouncer at creation which was the biggest club in our city at this point (around 2004). So as you can imagine I had banned and thrown 100s of people out in the years of working there. So I had a Saturday night off which rarely happens. I was in the cloakroom queue as I wasn't rude enough to just walk to the front even though I worked there. This woman recognised me as throwing her partner out the week before and decided she needed to stand up for him and confront me. She was like you threw him out so it's all your fault he's now barred. I was like well he must have done something to justify being thrown out. She was like no it's just because he didn't fancy you I bet. I was like yeah OK if you say so. She was like apologise and let him back in next week and I won't give u a beating right here in front of everyone. I was like look love do one and leave me alone. She was so riled by this that she said she was going to bottle me with her drink that she had in her hand. I was like yeah go ahead it's plastic 😂 then she was like OK then I'm going to take my shoes off and stick the heel through your eyeball. Unfortunately for her we had just left the doors of the club at this point and it was notorious at kicking out time and she said it in front of an on duty police officer. He looked at me and went charges I was like if ya want he went lovely charges for you my dear come with me and bundled her into the back of the police van. This lead to her also being barred and photos of her being put up so she couldn't get back in x
Never had an experience with a Karen, but I did have an experience with a Bible thumper… My friend and I just got out of a Breathe Carolina concert that took place at a club. Right next to that club was gay club. The guy was screaming how they were going to hell and just verbally abusing them. I remember getting so angry that I walked right up to him and said “Excuse me, but what you are doing is abusive.” He then flipped around and told me I was a heathen because I had piercings… then tried to school me on the Bible. The argument got so heated that some of the tour staff came up to make sure it was safe and they called the cops because the guy wouldn’t leave and he kept screaming at everyone. I myself believe in God but I hate religion! It’s nothing but an excuse for humans to be vile towards others and then say it’s because God said to. It’s been at least 10 years since that happened but it is something I will never forget…
I feel so sorry for her child! Maybe her family will have a intervention for her 😂 Sorry she ruined your day ! Tons of hugs ❤❤❤
The way I zoomed to get my phone after receiving the notification haha. I hurt my arm in the process. Worth it lmaoo x
Can picture you just flying through the air towards the phone 😹😹
@@PsychedelicKitten bare in mind my phone was on my bed. I sleep in a loft bed so it’s harder to get too hahaha x
Karen story incoming. I once was on a packed train which I had paid for an EXPENSIVE first class ticket to ensure I could sit down (long journey at peak time). I go to the first class seats and the most stereotypical blonde highlights, wallet case iPhone 5 using Karen was sat in the seat next to the one I had reserved and her daughter (maybe 3 …so young they didn’t need to pay kinda age) was sat on their iPad in my seat. I asked politely if she could sit her daughter in her lap so I could sit down. This Karen snapped her wallet iPhone case shut and GLARED AT ME eyes WIDE open and said nothing. I just showed her my ticket and said this is the seat I reserved… and asked again less politely this time. The Karen proceeded to yell at me and said “THERE ARE NO RESERVED SEATS when I booked this I didn’t get any choice and neither did you!!! You got on after us so you can stand young lady”.
Long story short… after lots of screaming at me and others on the carriage she called the ticket inspector over and started crying saying I was forcing her child to be in danger by sitting on her lap or forcing the child to stand for the long journey and threatened to text the British transport police as I was apparently ‘discriminating against her being a single mother’. Fortunately the ticket inspector and two men on the carriage took my side and again told her to move out of first class as she 1) hadn’t paid to be there and 2) was being so obnoxiously loud she made another woman’s child cry and say they were scared. As the Karen got up she made a gagging noise and said “ew you greasy chav” (I had a slicked back bun and was wearing a tracksuit because it was comfy for travel ) and splashed her bottle of water over the back of my head as she got off…. Literally 1 stop after she got on 😅
Funnily enough I see her at my local train station very frequently and still to this day he points and tuts. Hilarious honestly 😂
If only I had the chance to be the spider in the corner overlooking the whole encounter
I went to McDonald’s once and there was a vile woman hurling abuse at the 16 year old behind the counter. I asked her why she was screaming in the face of a teenager. She then screamed at me. There was a lot of screaming it was very unhinged. Turned out that she was demanding breakfast food items at 1pm, which obviously wasn’t going to happen. I told her she needed help if she was willing to scream obscenities over a McMuffin. I think she was barred in the end. Most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
I technically still work in retail, but I have the safety of telling people "Oh I just work for online" to shift them off me. But I've only been trapped in a goods lift with heaps of garbage, on my birthday, in the middle of summer.
My favourite Karen story was when one of my close friends and I were working together in customer service, in the same place. I was on the phone with a customer, googling another store, because it was the best way to give her the opening hours and phone number. Sweet old lady, so I was being very friendly back. My friend is off tidying, but she saw this lady and me being on the phone with this lady still and rushed back. The first thing Karen does is accuse me of ignoring her for a personal call. I snapped at this lady a bit "I was googling another store for a nice old lady" (whilst pointing to the phone). My friend WENT FOR HER and yelled the same thing at her! We didn't care if we are in a fancy flagship department store in the big city, we don't take crap and stick up for each other. This lady just looked shocked and left her purchase on the counter and left in silence. It was a pretty sizeable purchase, but we just cracked up and put the stuff away.
From someone still working in retail, thank you. Any time someone is acting like this outside of the shop I work in I still get angry but like you said your retail brain just puts up with it. One of the most recent Karen moments that stands out to me - I work in a phone shop, Christmas Eve a woman came in to the shop, had the Karen bob, her name actually was Karen, her broadband line was down and she was losing it that no one was going to fix and actually said "this is ridiculous, not everyone celebrates Christmas" and just kept ranting abut how her Christmas was ruined now because she was having guests over and wouldn't be able to play music for them 🤷♀
OH THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD 😹
Buckle in!!!
I used to work fast food. Some lady whacked me in the head THREE TIMES with a spoon because we didn't have McDonald's Mcflurry spoons for her milkshake. I worked at Arby's.
You showed amazing restraint!
👏🏻👏🏻I applaud you for putting her in her place.👏🏻👏🏻
During the first lockdown I was waiting outside a supermarket. I was talking to an old man while we were waiting and the line moved. The old man walked moved forward and I was a second behind him when a Kevin pushed in front of me. I'm not a confrontational person but I had been waiting for 20 mins so I told him to go to the back of the queue. His excuse? "There was a gap and you weren't moving" (remember the 2 meter rule?). Thankfully 3 other people jumped in and he left. The face he made was a gem as though it was my fault. I still laugh about it today.
😭😭😭God i hate people like that so much 🤢 Good for you for standing up to her she literally confronted you so naturally you had to interact with her
MY CHILD MY CHILD also her: yanks her child out of the lift and then yells at strangers
I bet the family wasnt at all surprised what happened and probably are used to it 😭
Welcome back to the UK Calum *immediately has a karen interaction* 🤣🤣🤣
Two Karen experiences that I had:
1: One time, my friend and I were at the pool taking lessons, and some old lady came and and said, “you have to leave! This pool is reserved for me to do water jogging” and my friend and I started laughing, and she told my friend to fix their attitude, and my friend told her to fix her face, and the Karen got mad after that.
2: My mom and I were leaving the airplane, and this woman came and pushed me really hard against the wall, and my mom yelled at her, and she yelled that she was missing her flight, even though everyone else was too, and yelled at my mom that she was terrible because she was yelling in front of her children.
I keep on thinking about everyone she’s crying to and their silent thank yous to Roly!!
Roly: " I had an experience"
Me: "Jesus was seen"
Ugh I hate it when they use the “my children” excuse because odds are they aren’t even paying attention to what they are doing to their kid.
I've been fortunate that I haven't had a direct Karen encounter like that but I definitely know ppl (including family members, yay) who absolutely act entitled like this and think the whole world revolves around them 🙄
People like that need to be humbled, and they cannot handle anyone standing up to them. The idea that you might have completely ruined her week fills me with spite-ridden glee Roly xD
My sister's biggest freakout is when I told her to f*** off "in front of" her SLEEPING CHILD. I had to go home from that vacation on a bus by myself.
And all of that because I asked if she had another pair of earplugs because her then husband snored as loud as five chainsaws, and she started yelling at me that I was ungrateful??
Anyways, it sounds like you were in a lift with my sister.
I have been trapped in a car with her screaming at me so many times when I was younger, that I refuse to go anywhere with her without my own car or with riding with a different family member. It's my absolute nightmare being trapped with her.
I want to hear Callum's POV 🤭
The amount of people I want to explode at like that!
I'm disabled, I use a mobility scooter to get around because a) scooters are cheaper than electric wheelchairs and b) I can't use a manual/self propelled wheelchair by myself.
I was in a hotel in Blackpool, just scooting down towards my room when a Karen scoffed to her friends "people think they're in 4king Benidorm." I was mortified, didn't say anything. I decided to go back to see if I could find them to confront her, but they were gone.
I can laugh at the comment now, it was quite witty, but unfortunately I just refuse to go out these days because of the nasty comments, tutting, etc I receive. You see, I'm only 42 (but can still pass for 30 or younger 💪) I'm overweight and I don't always look ill, so people wrongly assume I'm just lazy. Now I'm a hermit, still trying to use covid (with my chemo) as an excuse not to go anywhere.
The older I get, the less I can tollerate people.
Great video as always, Roly x
Lady was more shocked than Pikachu!
First off, so happy to have Calum back and you two had a good time before that person came.
Secondly, I also think you just snapped because your emotions were already high from having Calum back and then it switched to anger when you saw how horrible this person was being.
I witnessed a Karen fight 😅
I was on the public transport, when a Karen got into the bus and complained about every little thing, that the bus was too crowded, that she wasn't able to find an unoccupied seat etc. etc.
Everyone around was annoyed at her but kept quiet and tried to ignore her.
Finally she was going to get off the bus but another woman (who was carrying a bouquet) was standing infront of Karen and because she didn't move as fast as she wanted, this crazy woman shoves this poor woman to the side.
The woman defending herself tells Karen "vieja despesperada" (desperate woman), then Karen turns around and SLAPS her across the face 😱😱😱 so the other woman hits Karen with the flowers and then both grabbed each other by the hair. Seconds later 2 guys managed to break off the fight and the lady got back into the bus, everyone started to cheer and thank her for putting Karen in her place.
The whole thing was shocking but a little bit funny
Sorry you experienced that distressing situation.
Some people really need a reality check and understand that the world does not revolve around them
Hiii lovely Roly hope you are well ❤still cant get over your shirt 😂 love it
I love it!! ❤❤❤
that sounded like a wild experience! using her child as a human shield was such a low move. also i bet that if the lift had taken any longer she'd have dropped an f-slur....she sounds the type
I'm so happy you gave a piece of your mind. Love it you go girl😂
i had a similar experience on the lift with my friend! we were about to get on the lift and this guy had plenty of room to get out while we entered and then he ripped into us saying to respect our elders!! people that feel they need TONS of space around them get on my nerves, he 100% had room!! i find ALOT of men think they need room every which way because they "need" it.. but half the time they just love making people part ways for them🤦🏻♀️
I've been trapped in a lift with a Karen. My mum.
Ohh what a photo of a blank wall? That's nothing. I demand a photo of this eyelash I just found in my bathtub and I won't ever take no for an answer or I'm starting a riot 😂😂
We had a Karen at work the other week, thankfully she didn't start on me but I heard about it through my coworkers. We had a family event building lego things, very fun for the kids to do. Family comes in and the mum asks if the grandma (karen) can buy a ticket and just watch. I said yes, though we are fully booked, I'll squeeze them in (I could have said no!) but you'll just need to grab a chair from the lobby and take it in. I heard later from my coworker that the Karen was stood in this event, folded arms etc, complaining that there wasn't a chair for her. And then when my coworker offered to get one for this lady, she said NO. She REFUSED a chair!! She just wanted to be the victim, and said she was sending in a complaint!! Absolutely absurd, but yep, it happens haha. :)
Good for you for standing up for yourself.
A couple of months ago I was sitting in a train. I was going to the central station, and when we were a couple of minutes from the station, the personel was trying to bring a message over the speaker. This is potentially important, which is why regular passengers always stop speaking. But across from the isle was two older women, and they just wouldn't shut up.
I tried with "excuse me, could you be quiet fo a moment", which they didn't hear, of course. A little annoyed I said "shut up" loud enough to be heard. Then I got the Karen, with talk about being polite yada yada yada....I wasn't polite in return, but those kinds of....people just piss me off!!!
The second I got in the elevator I would have frantically pressed the door close button 😂
I don't remember ever having an experience with a Karen in an elevator (besides my mother) but I do remember one at an amusement park where the woman almost got her kid killed.
So, when I was roughly 11 years old I was attending a summer camp back in my home state and one of the things they did as a treat was visit the popular amusement park of the state. It was a hot summer day and the group of kids I was with were in line for a pendulum ride, one of those boat-shaped ones, this one was Viking themed, had a little dragon carving on the front. Anyway, as we were standing in line we could see this woman, standing with her 8yo son, having a back and forth with the ride attendant (looked around late teens, early twenties). I recognized the kid as one of the campers (partly because he was wearing the shirts they handed out before we left). He was standing there, bouncing up and down, looking excited to get on (he was non-verbal). As we got closer we could hear the mom, pretty annoyed, demanding to let her and the kid on as the guy tried to explain that the son was too small for the ride, and that the lap belt wouldn't fit him. Which she argued that she could hold on to him the whole time and it would be fine. We pass them as the guy takes us onto the ride, gets us buckled in, and goes back out. Shortly thereafter the boy and his mom come bouncing on and sat in front of me and my buddy (I believe was my brother, as he was my amusement park buddy, but he may have opted out of this ride, I don't remember). I do remember the attendant looking tired as he tried as hard as he could lower the lap bar down to the kid (his mom was, obviously, much bigger than an 8yo, so that didn't help, as her legs made it to where the lap bar got nowhere close to the kid) still, the attendant tightened the seatbelt on the kid and then got off the ride. The boy was bouncing with excitement the whole time. The ride started and, it was not too bad, as we were sat in the middle but one thing I'd heard about this particular boat ride was that it almost went completely upside down. You could see the motor and gears underneath where the boat was directly below you as it swung. The main thing I remember about this day was the kid slipping and sliding, his excited squeals quickly turned to terror as he and his mom held onto the lap bar and himself the entire time the ride picked up speed. I remember watching the boy the entire time, afraid he was going to fall into the gears below, right in front of us. It felt like it took forever for the ride to slow down and we be allowed to get off. (Can you tell I have some trauma from it? 😅) After we got let off I hear the mom start to tear into the ride attendant "How dare you let us get on, you knew he was too small!" Blah, blah, blah. Like??? Kind of anti-climatic, as I didn't stick around for the rest of the conversation but my GOTH! I know the attendant had some blame in this but also...why not just listen to people when it concerns safety?
Oooh tea ☕️
karen heard boss music and was promptly vanquished
Oh wow I’m so sry u had to deal with that awful human. I deal with a Karen on a regular basis since I took my parents in to my home and she’s awful. Hope u have a fabulous rest of ur day Roly💚
@ExtraRoly is this a legit win⬆️ hard to say nowadays
Some people!!
I have invisible disabilities so interactions with Karens have been common in my life.
You know what gets me … is people like her are married or in a common law relationship. Like how?!?! Lol
In my totally non-scientific opinion, i reckon the Karen evolution either happens after being pregnant/giving birth the first time, or people be settling for whatever they find 😩😂
Has anyone noticed a pattern with Karens (of any gender) treating their kids like crap but then also acting like their kid deserves everything in the world, it’s very confusing like they only care about their kids when it suits them lol
I was on the way to Gloucester from Paddington for a wedding. And there was a tourist who barged past a woman with a pram, and a guy in a wheelchair to get into the lift. Something snapped because she literally had to barge past these people to the extent the wheelchair moved with the guy in it.
Baring in mind I have caring responsibilities to my dad I really lost my shit but her words were “it’s not my choice to be disabled or have kids”
I was so angry. We were shouting at each other in a train station. Yikes
Maybe her child learned a valuable lesson not to be a twat. Roly is instilling good values into the youth. 😂
Oh my God Roly, she sounds like a total nightmare. Your response was awesome, I'm so glad you gave her a wake up call. She definitely needs a reality check by the sounds of it. Love to you and Calum 🌈💙💙💗 xxx
I was waiting for this one! can't wait to hear about that tea!!!
Hey Roly, this made my day!
I had a women who was mad about me because she wanted us to get out if our parking spot ! Shd was swearing like mad but the moment we fired back she said " How dare you swear in front of my children "!!??? 😅
