Belligerent Karen is going to be the most popular costume for Halloween this year. I can’t wait to see the pictures.
The other popular costume will be The Manager.
But the manager is busy doing real work and rolls her eyes when she has to come out deal with Karen
The kid filming it is >chef’s kiss<.
This pandemic is yielding an unusual dividend: it’s calling out the egocentric jerks.
First class no class bag lady.
Bye Felicia Karen!
Peer Pressure. Don’t leave home without it.
Embarrass and shame these babies whereever you see them, they are the reason more Americans are dying, unfuck every last one of them
why the hell did they allow her to board in the first place???
This. ^^^^^^^
1 carry - on bag and 1 personal item, but rules don’t apply in Karen’s world.
Plenty of style, but no class.
Yes, yes we can.
The MAGA hats and the Fuck Your Feelings t-shirts gave us a head start on that.
“why the hell did they allow her to board in the first place???”
Airline management puts enormous pressure on gate crews to get planes loaded and on their way. Gate crews learn that enforcing rules can cause headaches from bosses and it is often easier to let the next person down the line deal with the problem.
Habitually nasty and shameless people learn where and when they can weaponize their behavior, and air travel is a situation where escalation tends to pay dividends – in a creepy metaphorical way she can take a lot of people hostage and she has a lot of experience telling her that the airline will pay the ransom. Odds are the only cost for a front of airplane passenger like her is waiting for the next flight.
I really hope that they ban her from flying with them again.
