I love how these kids are both taken aback and seem to suppress laughter at her outrageousness by the end of the video.
Nothing delights a kid more than an adult acting like a child. Even when that adult is behaving like a whingey schoolyard bully.

Ugh. I remember as a kid once our group got bullied by an “adult” while playing in the park. He was pretty big (to us, anyway) and came marching over and yelled and yelled. There were no other adults around and it was really scary.
Those poor kids

Every Victorian Karen knows that children should be seen and not heard.
How dare those kids not respect that!
I bet it started with her yelling aggressively. I bet there was no quiet - with a smile - ‘hey kids, could you keep it down a tad - we’re having a grudge match here and need to concentrate’.
I dare say such an approach might have achieved her need for less noise, or the kids might have just wandered off after it.
But no, I bet she came steaming in at full throttle from the off, and did everything she could to earn their much deserved disrespect.
I’m sick and tired of Karens being heard or seen.

She can’t be a kid at 54, but she can be just as juvenile as a kid by screaming at kids for being kids.

Can you imagine what it would be like to have to work in an office or other environment with any of these Karens?

Exercise is supposed to give you endorphins. Endorphins are supposed to make you happy.
I think she’s doing tennis wrong.

I love how she tried to insult these kids by calling them “juvenile.”

When faced with assholes like this woman, kids need to remember “Stranger Danger!” I think the woman was unlikely to abduct or sexually abuse the kids given the situation. But I wouldn’t put it past her to start lashing out with the tennis racket and that qualifies IMO as danger.
If you think you’re potentially in danger from a stranger (the interaction seems to indicate this woman was a stranger to these kids) seek out an adult for help or just start making noise to draw attention to the situation.

I’m sure there are lotsa other things karen’s doing wrong.
I hope she either did not reproduce, or her kids are absolutely nothing like her.

This is exactly why my wife is desperately counting the days to her retirement next year. There are a couple of full-on Karens and a couple of other coworkers that swing in and out of the Karen syndrome.

That is one lucky Karen. You don’t talk to kids like that, and if you do I hope you realize that there are lots of mama and papa bears nearby who don’t particularly like you talking to our kids like that. And we don’t care if you’re having a bad tennis match at 54.

It’s easy for me to say, working from home, but I almost think it would be a welcome release for much of my pent up rage. Bring it on, Karen! Try to pull that shit in my presence. I will slay you with my words!
