Uptick in Karen?s?

[Erni]

Serious question. Have you noticed an uptick in male and female Karen?s?
I had a guy insist I put away my phone at the gas station because it made him uncomfortable to be around me (10 feet away) because static could cause doom!!!! I laughed and continued on the same as before to which he called me a name.
Seriously I have never encountered that level of superstition fueled fear before.

I think the issue is inattention. So many times I see erratic driving on the interstate and the driver is engaged in cell phone use. Modern cell phones are fairly safe around gasoline fumes. The old landline phones had a electromechanical system with coils and bells. Hope I don't sound like Karen.

I bet Mr Static has a head full of knowledge, a regular genius.
Deranged people are always trying that 'wag the dog' nonsense. I spent some time in a big city, it's everywhere in the cities.

Back in the day you didn?t get as many Karens because butting into someone else?s business could lead to being punched in the face.

Now that we live in such a litigious society they are catching on that butting in where they aren?t needed or wanted won?t result in a weeks worth of eating soft foods so they are becoming more brazen.

Been away for almost a week and trying to catch up. So far in this thread this response is a total WINNER. As Ray said, when there are no consequences for sticking your nose in other peoples business, the Karen's come out like flies at a picnic.

Then again, Bert used to post some wonderful responses he's had with Karens and I haven't seen any of those in a while (if you don't know what I'm talking about, you missed some golden responses by Bert aka BPTactical).


ETA:

This is what I was talking about right here. Nothing but love for Bert!

That was you?
I was just going to post about some senseless Chad who was on his phone while he was putting gas in his car.
Doesn?t he know how dangerous that is?






Seriously though Ray nailed it pretty well. Most “adults” now days have never tasted their own blood because their brain wrote a check their ass couldn’t cash.
Amazing how much you learn about respecting others when you get that taste and your eyes water really bad.
Add the fact that ever since social media became a thing EVERYBODY thinks they have to voice their opinion and be heard.

An old saying that fell by the wayside and needs to be reintroduced-
“Mind your own goddamn business, nobody gives a fuck what you think, shut the fuck up and go away before you taste your own blood.”

Sounds less like a 'Karen' and more like a Californian.

Californians are afraid of everything. Karens are angr more than afraid, and would have asked the gas station manager to have you banned for life.

Karens always ask to see the manager.

Nope.

"if you're uncomfortable being here, then leave..."

I'm starting to think there's been a major drop in average IQ and it shows as being a Karen.

Seriously. For example, the number of people wandering around the grocery store who truly look like they have no idea why they are there or what they are looking for is astonishing. They look like zombies. They are lost and confused. I see confused people everywhere these days. There weren't this many confused people before. Not sure what changed, but it's obvious.

I hire people, young people, who have the lowest energy level I've ever seen. Like sleep walkers. We have bar code scanners that are nothing more than Android phones with a trigger and laser that confuse the shit out of them. My 4 year old could use them. They all quit within a week.

People have gotten VERY strange these last few years...
