Going to a plantation and being mad about people talking about slavery is like going to Auschwitz and not expecting to hear about the Nazis killing Jews.
Not quite. But very close.
I can very much see people going to old plantations to learn about life back in the day. Which of course includes slavery and their treatment which had nothing positive to it.
And then they find the plantation tour is only about how badly slavery was treated, but not what else you could learn about the plantation... yeah... that can be annoying.
On the other hand, as I said, a plantation isnt ausschwitz. So I doubt heavily that slavery was the only subject on that plantation tour.
@@ethribin4188I mean even everything else about the plantation can't function without the slavery. There is no plantation at all without it
@@ethribin4188 I dunno, the first thing I think of when I hear “plantation” is slavery.
I heard a story about that exact thing - the Auschwitz trip, that is. People are fucking wild.
@@twistysunshine ya itd be disrespectful not to mention slavery. But i also wannna learn what kind of machines they used to process cotton. and how itd become fabric. Thatd be kinda neat.

True story: I was a manager at Sonic a while ago, right, and we had this lady call in bc her teenage son received the wrong food. She was completely polite and I agreed that we would put her name in the mistake log so that next time they came through they would get the correct item added to their order for free, which is standard procedure. When I asked for her name, this poor woman went silent for a hot second, then quietly admitted that her name is Karen. She had been polite, she had been correct to call and let us know about the issue, but because her name was Karen, she was worried about getting blamed for it. I felt so damn bad for this woman, like, she didn't choose her name. Ngl I added a free small shake to her free remake order bc she sounded so grim about her own name.
That's better than what happened at the Sonic where I used to live. Customer ordered the coney, and when it came out they opened it up and there was a baggie of cocaine on top! The guy responsible was caught and arrested, but still! Some of my high school students worked there at the time, too.
I do feel bad for the innocent people named Karen out there. I know one who's super kind and thoughtful, always going out of her way to help and do favours for people. That was sweet of you to add the free shake for your Karen, it's not her fault the name gained such unfortunate connotations.
I'd have added a note if possible either in file or on a sticky where the person taking the order would see it, saying she is a polite women who is unfortuntely named Karen
I feel really bad for all Karens. I have only known lovely Karens, and it was a very popular name in my generation. Also, maybe there is a particular trope with American Karens that simply does not translate internationally. It began with a specific haircut that seemed to be sported by women of a certain age who one could, on sight, know were going to display certain behaviours.. whoever decided to call them karens owes all the Karens of the world a sincere apology.
It is for this reason (and/or similar reasons) that I do not believe the name Karen will be a common name in the future.
Fun animal fact: Arctic foxes are 'Ecosystem Engineers' who grow beautiful gardens. Organic waste from the foxes & their kills make the area surrounding their dens more fertile, leading to almost three times as many dune grasses, willows & wildflowers to sprout up, compared to the rest of the Tundra
Aha, so if I want to find a fox, look for the plants! Got it!
I love arctic foxes so muchh ❤❤ I wrote a book about one as a kid and it's definitely one of my happiest memories

As someone with major mental health issues, seeing someone say, "They should have Bible study" instead of a mental health class and that it's a front for "demonic possession" just.... I hate humanity... Oh, Darwin awards, please save us
Same
Did... Did you just read my mind?
I make way too many references to the Darwin awards it's not even a joke at this point. Also struggle with major mental health problems, I 100% agree with you on this. I was in a therapy group where EVERYONE was like wow... How come this doesn't get taught in school? It would not only save lifes potentially, but also help every single person understand themselves so much better. But no, Bible study is soooo much more important... Bye humanity.
(also I hope you're doing as best as possible, sending online hugs your way!)
And I hate it because you just can't...win with these people, their beliefs are entirely self servicing
If you explain what mental illnesses are, it won't matter, because some dude said that was just demonic possession over a century ago...if you bring up the extensive psychological studies, they'll tell you science is just Satanism
If you tell them about your personal experiences, they'll just tell you to see Christ, and if you tell them you already have, they'll respond by telling you to *try harder*
Ooof in my case people just going all “pray it away” and bible study made my mental health WORSE.
If demonic possession causes mental health issues, then both of us must have a few demons rattling around in our heads.
ive actually poorly rated a plantation tour for the opposite reason. they spent an hour showing us around the house and talking about how lovely the family who had owned slaves there was and all of their family tradition and how old the furniture was and didn't say anything about the people kept as slaves even once other than to mention that it " wasn't as bad as everyone thinks it was for them "
THIS AINT A HOUSE TOUR PEOPLE, ITS A FUCKING PLANTATION. ITS LIKE IF YOU TOOK A TOUR TO ALCATRAZ AND ALL THEY TALKED ABOUT WAS THE POLICE BREAKROOM
Here in rural Mississippi, that's exactly how the plantation tours are. Know what's worse, though? Those tours are given to elementary schoolchildren as field trips to this day, just like they were 30 years ago when I was growing up in the Delta. It's beyond infuriating... it's decimating these children's understanding of our southern history.
@@Clodsire_lover I've actually been to Alcatraz, and I can confirm that all we talked about was the police breakroom.
:-|. That’s racket what the heck was wrong with them
Yikes 😬
Being someone with anxiety and paranoia around using public bathrooms, having someone force open my door and demanding I pay while I'm taking a shit would be enough to straight up send me into cardiac arrest. That sounds absolutely horrific, and I'm surprised how calm that person was in a situation like that
I am so over such behavior. They would be lucky if they didn't get something thrown at them. I would take out my phone and hit record. When I take a shit I prefer to be alone.
@@jerrimenard3092 I believe most people like to be alone while shitting, although I'd need a bit of courage to hit record lol
It reminds me of r/FoundSatan where one person jokingly recommended walking up to an occupied stall and aggressively knocking on the door...I'll tell ya, I'm generally one to avoid violence, but I'd either kill a man or die trying the day that happens-
@@damienearl8302 yea, poking fun is one thing, but that's just plain shitty imo. You don't know who's in that stall, you could've just given a child nightmares or a disabled person a heart attack, or you can catch these hands as you mentioned
In the city I live in, where too many people are paranoid and stay armed at all times in public, yanking a bathroom door open to harangue the shitter is a good way to seek game over.
As a Canadian I can confirm that the Karen accent overrides the Canadian one, makes it easier to spot them
Do they instead say they _aren't_ sorry?
@@dmgroberts5471 they don't apologize at all. They lose their Canadian status after a police investigation.

Oddly all karens i’ve met here in canada kinda have an American accent
The Karen who thought it neglectful of her neighbors to leave their teenager at home alone makes me imagine she would hire a babysitter for her own child if they were only one day short of turning 18.
Fr I took care of myself from 9+. Though it definitely depends on the kid whether they can handle being alone.
@@wintergray1221 me too when i was 9 i could cook my own food lol
Excuse me what?
Sounds like some bad parents, you’re not even a teenager at 9!
@@toothandclaw4347That's not bad parenting at all. My parents were strict about me going out alone but I was still home alone since I was about 11 and my younger bro was 9. It fully depends on the kid. There's some teenagers who shouldn't be left alone just as there are some 9 year olds who can be alone. It's not like they said their parents would often leave them alone for days. Maybe just coming back from school and making your own lunch is an option, ya know? I had to stay at school after lessons so my parents would pick me up even tho we lived 3 minutes away from our school by foot. Most children in my class hated this and that's why even when they were 9, they would go home and stay there alone 'till their parents came. You shouldn't assume letting your kid alone when they're not a teenager yet is bad parenting.
@Tooth and Claw not all people are bad parents bc of that. i was able to cook full meals at 8 as well. My mom was sick with cancer and my dad had to work. They werent bad parents but just had no other choice. So they taught me how to safely cook. Never happened anything
When I was in kindergarten we went to a cotton field and were told about how the slaves picked cotton and even got to pick some ourselves. My 6 year old mind felt sorry they had to do all that in the Alabama heat and thought of how much their hands must have hurt. Still had fun and it’s one of my favorites from my memories.
Your 6-year-old self was more empathetic than the grown adults in that story who complained about it being a downer. That also sounds like a great, age-appropriate lesson that obviously stuck with you! Good going by the teacher.
If your shown other people and different cultures as a kid you will be more accepting and for lack of a better racist as an adult
I remember there being a news story years ago about something similar where a black middle school kid came home with a bag of cotton and his mother was like, "why do you have a bag of raw cotton????" And the kid said his teacher had them out picking cotton on the fields on a plantation.
Obviously, the mother was angry and sued the school, I think. Or at least complained.
While I can see how that may be a helpful and fun experience for some kids, it's really fucked to have black kids literally reenact slavery that their ancestors went through 😅
@@yoyohayli yeah we only had like 1 black kid in my school. Most of us where white even as I got older the most we had at our school was 3 black kids. Private school.
@@yoyohayli I don't know. As long as the whole class, black and white, were all picking the cotton, I don't think it's a bad thing to experience something like that for yourself - and it would probably feel connected to history in a way, in the same way that if I were to wash all the laundry by hand using 18th C techniques I would feel a little connected to my forebears who had to go through that backbreaking labour before washing machines. It certainly should only be an exercise for an hour or two, and no longer, but just because the children are black is no reason to rob them of a valuable lesson that the whole class was learning.
Now if they were being singled out, and the black kids were roleplaying being slaves while white kids roleplayed as the plantation masters, then absolutely, that's so very much not on. But if they were all seeing what it was like as a brief exercise, then in my opinion that's a valuable lesson whatever skin you have.
The Goth Witch messing with kids for fun is basically the plot of several episodes of Craig of the Creek. The local wholesome teen lesbian goth witches occasionally join the shenanigans of the kids and pretend to do magic. That kinda works. Weird show but wholesome.
Craig of the Creek is such a fun show, it makes me wish I lived near that creek. There's shenanigans for everyone there, even the older people like the witches and the dnd guys get to have fun. Very wholesome indeed
@@sopapopp dude my whole childhood I wish I grew up next to a creek
Never seen the show
I wish I could go outside like those kids. I love that show
😂 "Karen, please, it's a historical place! There will be history!"🎉
So well said.
Yes, but more than just one aspect of history. Americans don’t understand that the people of the world are educated people, who know about not just the history and location of their own country (more than be said for most Americans) but also about the rest of the world… therefore, an international tourist booking an historical tour of a plantation, knowing American history, would be expecting just that, *all* the history, good and bad, not just a portion of it. I would suggest anyone visiting the US also visit a Reservation. That’s the history and present the world doesn’t get to see/hear about.
@@virginiaviola5097 yeah, I noticed that again and again with the us, that people talking for example with germans are shocked about how history is treated and when they find out, what their history class has not taught them about the us.
I was so freaked out by the whole american I am proud to be american, 4th or july and all thing. If you try anything like that in germany you immidietly get pinned as a nazi and pretty much everyone around is preparing to give you at least a verbal smack down. not that we do not have our black sheep and ugly corners, we so do, but that germans often know more about slavery in the us, then people in the us is scary as hell
@@virginiaviola5097 Uh they said they would go back to Louisiana, implying they are a US citizen not an international tourist and they're used to plantations sugarcoating shit. See Americans love to reference their ancestors when the topic of slavery is actually discussed as some kind of defense like they're being personally attacked for being told the truth.
Speaking as someone from another country familiar with this aspect of US history I'd actually be horrified if they didn't highlight that aspect of it. I don't need some flowery shit about the plantation owners that literally only exists to appease segments of the US's population who can't handle reality.
Every country has fucked up shit in its history, talking about it openly isn't accusing you and if anything this kind of reaction suggests it needs to be talked about more, not less. This shouldn't be something that makes you defensive or feel attacked, because you didn't do it. Now if you're acting defensive because it makes you feel bad, it should. It was horrible, that's empathy. Don't be defensive about it. Sometimes you're going to feel bad about things you didn't do because they were atrocious. Don't be a baby about it.
@@shadenox8164 I agree with everything you said and it's so true.
I've also noticed that many US citizens on RUclips assume everyone on here is also in the US, whether it's RUclipsrs or commentors. I've gotten into many arguments with people citing laws or how things are in the and assuming it's the same everywhere. They hate it when I point out that things aren't the same everywhere like it is in the US. People in the US only makes up on fraction of people who use RUclips and they aren't that special.
It makes me embarrassed to be a US citizen sometimes...
"Karen it's a historical place, there will be history!" lol! There seems to be an absurd amount of people who don't understand that there will in fact be history at historical places 😂
It's extremely baffling to me that people will take tours to plantations and then NOT expect there to be lessons about the slavery that happened there. Did they miss that part in history class or are they just really dense?
the funny thing was though that she admitted to being Italian therefor meaning has roman ancestry and as we all know the romans had plenty of slaves
I been to many and the small amount they talk on the topic is so minimal it’s sad. One I went to talked more about how many movies that plantation was in then slavery. It was like oh over there was where the slave housing was at one time , but look at these photos of all the movies we are in. 😢
They probably feel liek their trip is ruined by being reminded that people had been exploited, because then they were forced to have an emotion. They propbs jsut wanted a fun trip around the lot, because it looks so fancy but refuse to acknowledge WHY it looked so fancy and how these people got so rich
I took my kids to a plantation. The guide talked about the "servants' quarters." She was ashamed of herself, she was old, she needed a job. 20 years ago, I had no idea how to react. I know better now, because some Americans are great leaders and teachers. We owned slaves. It was wrong. Let's rebuild better.
@@cubeofannihilation7640 Not all Romans had slaves. And many of those slaves they had. Were battle slaves. As in taken the survivors to become slaves. Many of those slaves came from the area of Germania. The reason behind using German slaves. Was that they were ignorant of how Roman politics worked.
Plus, in the old Norse language, which German came from. Thrall meant slave.
One other thing, slavery has existed unfortunately since ancient times. Very likely pre-historic times.
A couple weeks ago someone gave the shop I work at a one star review because they had a parking ticket, and they demanded they wouldn't remove the review until they were compensated.
Karen, we are a pottery shop, not the city parking authority
But how can we be sure that your pottery shop ISN'T JUST A FRONT FOR THE CITY PARKING AUTHORITY, HUH?!? EXPLAIN THAT, YOU COP!
I remember getting a complaint from a customer asking why we couldn't turn the tornado siren off during the monthly tornado test.
that honestly sounds a bit like extortion
Was she even a customer or just happened to park near your shop? I wouldn't be surprised if she never even stepped inside your shop.
It's as crazy as the lady leaving a 1-star review because she never went in the restaurant (at 36:00). Some people really don't understand the point of reviews...
That mental illness class should be a thing to help kids and teens like me out. It would be so benafitial for so many people to stop or not start things that will harm them
We need Basic Mental Hygiene classes. People are constantly doing the mental-health equivalent of eating raw sewage and thinking it's fine.
I basically have a class like that and honestly its horrible in practice. The class often focuses on things that would make the school look bad. For example, when we had a lot of fights at the school the school only focused on deescalation techniques then never touched it again. But when we're having a drug problem, they just increase security around the bathrooms and are now putting in cameras. Sooooooooo its a doube edges sword mate
@@mocatdow No, no you didn't have a class about mental health, from the sounds of it.
You had a, "school-CYA-class." That class _was not for you,_ it was for the school board's benefit.
A mental health class would be _for the students' benefit_ and *_only_*_ for the students_ benefit.
The fact that you had a class for the legal-liability of the school system that was pretending to be about mental health makes me _furious!_ 😠🤬 I'd be ripping every member of that school board a new one.
@@John_Weiss funny enough it was more of a mental health class in middle school than in high school. In middle school the class offered both mental health lessons, which in my opinion werent great but at least they were trying, and then academic support. Now its just a place to do lessons based on 'tackling' school problems and not much else. My school is ass
@@mocatdow If you're still in high-school, then I am … considerably older than you. And as a Gen-Xer, I can tell you that the kind of "mental health class" that you described is Utter Bullsh1t. Because it doesn't sound like it's lessons _for the students_ but for … well, here:
When I read, "lessons based on 'tackling' school problems," my brain interpreted that as "lessons to use the students to tackle _the School's problems."_
"All you white women are exactly the same as me" girl there's literally only two things in common there and none of them are personality traits 😭
Some people have nothing to offer as a person so they make the way they were born their whole “value”
‘All white women’….. a statement generally made by people whose experience of people of *any* race is extremely limited. Americans define themselves by race, and also seem to believe that they are representative of the whole planet’s population. For the rest of the world, people define themselves by their nationality, and maybe ethnicity as a qualifier, but never by their (patently obvious) level of melatonin.
@@virginiaviola5097 fr I heard a US girl say "white people things!" about wearing shoes in bed or talking back to her parents like- honey i would not survive doing this in my country and i'm very much white
i got a bigger culture shock going to the US than in Japan 😭😭
@@chocorenavfx4403I agree that it's weird but I think when white people say "white people things" it's kind of making fun of their stereotypes and acknowledging theyre not the only people in the world. I don't think it usually really comes from a place of "look at me im white I'm so special"
@@chocorenavfx4403 feel you, so true
It confounds me daily how people can be Karens about “pro-life”, when they spent the Pandemic being anti-mask because it was “my body, my choice.”
SMH
Well, sure. They think "only I matter". So, they can demand others to be forced to be incubators and simultaneously not care who they harm.
They're the same people that claim ectopic pregnancies aren't deadly.
Pregnancies in general are dangerous. Some cause cancer. But people think they're 100% safe somehow.
@@isabelcarrasco4528 I remember 3 examples of this co-opting of real issues, so they could denigrate and mock them at the same time:
My body my choice-comparing vaccine/mask requirements to forced pregnancy
I can’t breathe-comparing mask requirements to a black man being murdered by a police officer.
Also comparing mask requirements to Jews being forced to wear the Star of David preceding the holocaust.
To be the devil's advocate... They think that abortion is literally unaliving a person, whilst not wearing a mask will not intently unalive people around you (and won't hurt the majority of them). Still, its weird that they care more about a potential person than a living one
@@meowmeow797 I believe there is a knowingly dishonest aspect of it though.
If you honestly believed the pro choice movement was pro baby murder, would you really co-opt their slogan? Wouldn’t it be both repugnant to you, like co-opting “final solution” as a slogan, and by implying equivalence, implying you would accept their baby murder if they accept your anti vaccine argument.
(Obviously they wouldn’t.. which to me makes their use of the slogan just reek of smarmy dishonesty)
Oh my god. I’m someone who cries really easily, and I hate it because everyone thinks I’m trying to get get sympathy and play the victim when it’s something I literally can’t help. The lady with the test drive going “They weRe being So MEAn TO A CRYING WOMAN” makes me so mad
I'm the same way.
She knew exactly what she was doing
Like if she legit couldn’t help crying, I get that, I’m the same way, and if she’d just mentioned that she cried at one point, whatever, but the fact that she kept pointing out over and over again how pitiful she was acting just wasn’t doing her any favors. She acts like the police were slamming her on the ground and all that, when the most they did was call her by her name (terrifying, I know 😒) and inform her of the situation. Any time the police are called for something like this, they’re required to inform the suspect of potential outcomes, such as letting them know “by the way, they can press charges on you, they have a right to do so.” They’re not bullying her, they’re letting her know so that if they did decide to press charges, she’s not completely blindsided, she’s been informed this could happen. It’s just ridiculous to see a grown woman act like the victim because she did something completely stupid.
You might be HSP (hypersensitive personality), read up on it and learn to shelter yourself from the worst. Even if youre not, its totally ok. The older you get, the less you care what others think anyway. Do you remember a stranger bursting into tears from two years ago? No, so no one will remember you either. Just be you, with them feelings and all. My friends bust my balls for crying at silly commercials, but I take it in stride; yeah, I got them feels, so what. I also cry when Im angry enough.
This comment made me feel seen ngl
I also cry easily and sometimes I'll feel emotional even when...well I'm not actually that upset and I'll get so confused and angry as to why
That Subaru story was wild. The whole time I was listening to her side I was like, this could have easily been fixed with a sincere apology. Then the company told the actual story and my jaw _dropped_ - I don’t understand how people get so delusional.
really, the story just gets worse and worse as it goes on. i was shocked enough to hear she WENT OUT TO LUNCH with a friend? (srsly, wtf?) almost fell off my chair when the other side was read, damn - offroading with a subaru for 60miles wtf.
Honestly I kind of sympathized with her at first. Common sense isn't always common, especially if you haven't done something frequently and they previously allowed her to drive for an hour. From her perspective it does sound like the dealership overreacted and was overly negative even when she apologized. Then we get to the dealerships POV and you remember "Oh yeah, two sides to every story". Until then I was sort of on her side even if it was a bit silly to think going to a place without cell service while driving a test car is ok.
I'm wondering who was being more truthful or if the scenario was somewhere in the middle.
Guess which dealership probably won't allow test drives without a salesman ever again? Karen's always ruin things for the rest of us
It sounded like bullshiat excuses when the lady claimed she went to a restaurant and there was no cell service in the area. The woman took a car for a test drive that should have lasted for only a few minutes, and then acted like she already owned the car, went o pick up a friend and then went to lunch. And then played the victim in all of this when she was an entitled idiot.
In her defense, when i did a, test-drive recently they just told me to come back before closing. Not sure what is normal, but the off-roading and extreme milage is not really excusable.
4:35 I read an online story exactly like this. A mother visited Bergen-Belsen with her son and was enraged that they showed "depressing stuff" and talked about the holocaust. Like, you know what you're in for, right???
I want to speak to the manager! This community is too darn wholesome!
The manager was fired...
I did something like that once. I had called a helpdesk earlier, then called again and asked for the manager. The tech asked why and I said "because the other tech helped me so well, I want to tell the manager how amazing he did." They couldn't connect me to them, but would relay the message haha
This is why you let a dealership rep go with you on rides. 1) They can vouch for you should an accident occur and 2) they can tell you key features about the vehicle (yeah, sales pitch but its good to know what you're getting) and 3) They can authorize extended outings because they literally have a rep with the car ensuring it isn't being stolen, which I assume is why they have a short time limit on a test drives.
Yeah, but a rep would not let her go for two hours and grab lunch with a friend, so she don't want a rep with her, she just want to ride two hours in a car XD
@@krankarvolund7771 Oh, for sure. But, if the rep was with her, they'd not have had the cops called on them, at least. XD Well, maybe only if they didn't listen to the rep when they said to go back and the rep called the cops from inside the vehicle instead, basically being kidnapped.
I can't recall being given the *choice* of not bringing a dealership rep in the times I've done test drives, I'm honestly surprised they allowed it (maybe it depends on how staffed the dealership is?)
Though I will say most of them are pretty chill about not giving a sales pitch if you've already researched things--if you ask them to forgo it, they're pretty happy to sit on their phone ignoring you while you drive, lol. The real sales pitch/horrible pressure these days is in financing, not sales... 😓
I think everyone including Click is being harsh on her, seeing as she started the story by explaining she had done a test drive BEFORE where she was out for an hour. If noone says anything about that or calls, then you're going to assume that an hour is okay. I know my dad's done test drives where he was out for about an hour (alone). It was definitely her bad to be gone for a whole two hours, but if some is crying I think you OUGHT to chill out and realise that they probably didn't intend to do harm. They just did an oopsie. That doesn't mean no consequences, just be kind dealing with people when they're clearly freaking out.
@@yuzu-tsuyu I think it just depends on the place. I live in a small city, last time I went car shopping 5+yrs ago, one of the dealerships took all my info, I took out a car prolly 10 mins, came back and they offered to let me take it overnight which I was totally surprised by. I declined at first, but they were like "no, it's okay, really" so I took them up on their offer. They offered again a couple of weeks later when I came in again. I ended up buying a car from them. My first 2 car buying experiences were nothing like that, but that could be because I went to a large city those times. Smaller towns seem a little more trusting.
The karen's story vs. security camera one reminded me of something that happened to me at work. Lady accused me of not washing my hands before making her pizza in the supermarket. Camera showed me washing my hands and her stealing the pizza in the self checkout.
As an ICU nurse for 20+ years, there have always been Karens. I have a permanent blind spot in my eye from being punched by a patient.
ETA He wanted to go smoke, and I refused to turn off the IV medications keeping him alive.
How could you. He just wanted a smoke who cares about living. (Or not being blown up, the EMS equivalent is going to a flat and being greeted by a patient on home 02 Smoking right next to the big Tank indoors while at least 4 l/min are flowing through the nasal canula. ... Thanks I'd like to leave work alive today.
Oh man, that’s rough! I kinda wonder whether that kind of patient should simply receive exactly what they ask for…
Needed a waiver form so he can sign away his right to be alive...
Wait till he has to barter for cigarettes in the prison yard for assault.
I have so much respect for you nurses who work with humans. I'm a vet tech, aka. nurse but for animals, and the worst part of my job isn't dealing with the patients but the patients owners. I get so stressed just thinking about having to take care of them and not their animals. Massive kudos to you!! ❤
It's actually worse that that sign wasn't about toilet paper. Sometimes you need a lot of that.
It was about paper towels. Your hands can only really be so wet and they'll dry eventually.
true. I see some people take like 5-8 towels for the first rub, and then the same amount for the second round. You need one (1) for the worst wetness - and yes, even if the papertowel is already slightly wet it still absorbs the worst of your hands - and then a second one to make them completely dry. Not 10-16.
@@Kassilphe I can get the job done with only 1 when I flick my hands towards the sink, it gets most of the water off and the rest can be dried off with very little paper towel
It depends on the paper towels. There are establishments which fill their paper towel dispensers with towels with the strength of tissues. With them, you really do need several.
@@Kassilphe Depending on the size and thickness of the paper towel, you don't need more than three total, much less more than two at a time. Grabbing more than that is honestly pretty excessive and wasteful, especially since you can easily shake the rest off your hands once you get the bulk of it off.
After all, if your hands are clean, what's there to be afraid of by shaking them dry a little bit?
15:44 As a Jew (ethnically if not spititually), nothing depresses me more than seeing prejudiced Jews because we, of all people, should KNOW better.
It certainly creates an ethical dilemma. Is something wrong because it’s always wrong, or only wrong when it affects oneself? And where does that leave the objective observer? Being asked to simultaneously condemn and condone the exact same thing?
@@virginiaviola5097 Um, bigotry is always wrong no matter who it's by or who it's against, end of story (and while it's certainly more understandable and does less *systemic* harm, yes it is capable for a minority group to be bigoted againt an oppressor group and yes it's still crappy and shouldn't be encouraged)
It doesn't happen very often. My maternal grandmother was Indigenous Australian and my paternal grandparents were Ashkenazi. But I had a Jewish guy tell me once that he couldn't be bigoted towards Indigenous people because his half brother was "muori". Yep, he misspelled it and used a lower case "m". ( his brother was Maori) Generally, Australian Jews have a huge amount of respect for Indigenous Australians since it was Aboriginal people that led the first ever protest against the nazi treatment of Jews. Not this guy, though. He was a racist cunt.
well, it is sadly often exactly those who should know better, that pull stuff like that . . . women who are increadably misogynistic, lg kicking down at b and a and t people instead of standing togeather as lgbtq+, everything around nazi germany only ever focusing on what was done to the jews ignoring the slaughters and other crimes against every one else inacted at the same time, anti racism being so focused at black people, that every other minority gets over looked or there is the sentense, well we got it so much worse so why should I care for native americans/jews/irish people/roma etc
Its because people are people. What really gets me is when you see people complaining, rightly, about being treated badly and then turn around and do EXACTLY THE SAME THING to someone else, usually in the exact same way.
2:43 I had that. I went to Catholic school. Definitely made my mental health worse when we were asked to write a fictional story (in groups) and got a pretty tame fairy tale about slaying a dragon that we were all pretty proud of marked up in red ink for being too violent. We didn’t even describe the fight we just said “the hero summoned all her courage and chopped off the dragon’s head.” We were 11 and regularly read the Bible but we were getting our creativity stomped over this I mean what-
I bet it would have been accepted if you retold a saint story. I think St. George killed a dragon.
That sounds like a good story and a terrible teacher. It's her book of Psalms that has lines about bludgeoning children to death against rocks (and I'm phrasing that LESS violently than the original)...
If you are creative, then that means you are smart. And being smart means you get to question the Bible, and we can't have that now, can we.
I’m pretty sure there’s a bible story where a woman chops someone’s head off and presents it to someone else on a silver platter.
@@thepip3599 there is
Oh man, I used to work as a tour guide on a plantation with intact slave quarters, and our tour was probably like 70% about the lives of the enslaved people who lived there (and continued to live there even after slavery was abolished). Obviously there was a lot of emphasis on how terrible slavery was etc. and the amount of people who were pissed at that was kind of absurd. It was like a once a day thing. Usually they were upset about “how much of a downer it is” (that is a direct quote). I’m sorry, but if you didn’t want to hear about slavery, don’t go to a fucking plantation, and yes, Karen, it IS important to keep talking about it. Anyway, yeah, it happens way more often than you’d think, and yes the complainers were always white.
That's bizarre to me (enslaved people are my FIRST association with the word plantation) until I remember I'm from the UK, where our education system is less censored.
I wonder if those kind of people would go to places like Auschwitz and still complain about it being a "downer" 😅😅
@@DragonriderEpona Likely! Those are the kinds of people who just want to take inappropriate selfies and stuff. :/
I went to a few plantation tours just solely to learn about the history, including learning more about slavery/the African slave trade. In my personal experience, you can feel a distinct heaviness on these sites, especially afterwards when you realise how much human suffering happened there. The houses were gorgeous, though. The architecture of these houses are stunning, but they lose their beauty when you realise what had happened there.
Honestly, it's the same heavy feeling you get when you go and visit Nazi concentration camps to get taught more of the history. Seeing the grounds of Auschwitz in person is more terrifying and heartbreaking than if you were to see a picture of it in books.
They complaining bc they got kicked out
You know whenever Karens are complaining/judging "weird," names, what they ACTUALLY mean is "ethnic," names. They want you to think they mean "Kry$$tuhl," but they actually mean "Chinedu."
They complain about "weird" names, but then they name their kids "Ryefuhl"

Last Monday I went to an OBGYN clinic for an new patient in take exam. My appointment was at 9, so I had to be checked in by 8 45 in case I needed to feel anything out as a new patient (I didn’t because I had already been to a connected physician and all that was already on file), so we arrived at the clinic around 8 40 on a Monday morning. Most people would be at work or on their way to work at such a time (if they didn’t work from home and weren’t no life losers like me :) ). Not this small flock of Karen’s protesting abortions on the sidewalk where the turn into the clinic was! The building had about 3 different medical purposes, not just OBGNY. And even people just going to an OBGYN aren’t all getting an abortion. Seeking medical help can be scary for some people and a lot people with uteruses can be for, one reason or another, incredibly uncomfortable with going to the OBGYN. People like these idiots who think the world revolves around them could very easily scare away someone in desperate need for medical help. A teenager having menstrual issues that’s going to the doctor with their parents’ knowledge. A person raised in a conservative family that “doesn’t believe in that” going for their first pap smear. A trans person who is going there for issues they’re uncomfortable talking about. ANYONE can go to a OBGYN, not just people seeking abortions. And like I said, there was more than one type of clinic in this building. Someone could be nervous about going to see a doctor that ISN’T an OBGYN, see these idiots, and get scared away. And there was no ignoring them. They were marching all along the side walk in both directions right where the entrance was.
These idiots are dangerous. They aren’t “asking you to choose life” they’re harassing you into doing what THEY want because they’re uncomfortable knowing that something they don’t like exists and is used by people. There NEEDS to be a law to prevent this kind of protest. People who are already uncomfortable will see them and refuse medical treatment, even if it ISN’T the procedure they’re protesting. If they had been on the sidewalk ACROSS the street where it was easier to ignore them, that would have been slightly better (though I don’t believe people protesting medical procedures should be legal at all, but whatever). At least then, you can be more focused on not missing the turn into the clinic than on them being idiots and showing what type of AH they are.
Seriously though, these people had to have less than a life than me. They looked like woman not much older than me, so I’m surprised they weren’t at work. I can’t imagine how asking for time off to “protest” abortions at a clinic that does more than just abortions would have gone over with the boss. I mean, this is in America. You have to fight tooth and nail to get a day off for sick leave or to go to a family member’s funeral. I can’t imagine an employer just being like “protesting abortions? Sure take all the time off that you need! Tell me all about it when you come back!” Even if they ARE also “pro life,” unless they own the business, that’s going to cause problems.
I have never heard of a "peaceful" anti-abortion protest. They seem to *_ALWAYS SCREAM_* at people, harass them, verbally-assault them, etc.
It's utter bullshit.
And it is because they're shoving their religion down everyone else's throats. Since the Dobbs ruling, I've heard more than one Jewish person state that, in Judaism, _life begins with the first breath … _*_NOT_*_ conception._
These protestors piss me off so much. I've driven by and seen them outside a planned parenthood here in Texas recently and it's just like REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IS IN SHAMBLES AND THERE ARE NO ABORTIONS HERE ANYMORE. WHAT ARE YOU PROTESTING? PEOPLE GETTING A GODDAMN PELVIC EXAM??
The one about the bubble zone court case is so absurd in part because the poster is saying they were given piles of letters from people whom that Karen had "helped" (read: harrassed) and they think that'd be cause for a judge to drop the case and not what it is, which is a massive pile of evidence that they committed the crime and should do time.
Also, if the cops were supporting her, how was she getting the citations?
Anyway, the law only applied to organized protests that created a picket line patients had to cross and involved more than I think it was 5 or 10 people. Never applied to individuals.
Also if carried no fine or jail time and only a civil trespass, and was never enforced - it was blocked by a temporary restraining order before it went into effect and was later voided.
The story sounds like fanfic. No way it actually happened.
Canadian Karens are almost exactly like American Karens, but they are slightly more passive aggressive in a way that is basically just straight aggression with a smile
Ah, so deep south passive aggressive, just drizzled in maple syrup instead of gravy
This seems almost more scary for some reason
Ah yes the people that think if you say something calmly and sprinkle in some nice words you're being polite regardless of what you actually say.

I work for an (extremely liberal) independent bookstore, and it has maybe three 1-star reviews. One says essentially that we carry books by “fascists & neo-Nazis” so they will be taking their business elsewhere. The one directly below it says that we are, “not a bookstore, but an echo chamber of liberal extremism.” Gotta love the Karens 😂😂 (the third is a long rant by a woman who was extremely angry that we asked her not to allow her toddler to chew on/throw onto the floor every stuffed animal that we had)
I also particularly enjoyed when the extremely large chain coffee shop I work for received online survey feedback that the store was “freezing and they refused to turn up the heat bc they were too hot while working, even though my spot by the window was so cold,” and “store was sweltering hot” in the same week
Ah yes, being simultaneously neo-Nazi and liberal-extremist… clearly Karen doesn't know the definition of many words, nor does she know how to use a dictionary…
That bookstore sounds awesome

I wish there was a way to rate reviews on these review sites, one that would weight the review itself so it won't throw off a place's score. Then we, the Sane Public, could go in and negate the garbage reviews and the Karens.
Because right now, I won't even touch online reviews. I consider them nothing but complaint boards or marketing ploys that are so heavily manipulated as to be utterly useless.
Regarding the unique name thing: I actually know someone who struggled to get a job for a very long time because of her name. Her first name is Chimera, and combined with her last name she sounds like a fictional main character. Absolutely wonderful person to work with, she was one of my managers when I started working at my current job. But it absolutely happens regardless of if its an ethnic name or just a unique name and it sucks. Like seriously, Chimera is such a cool name?? And to not consider someone as an employee for that reason, wtf??
Chimera sounds like a pretty name but if you look up the definition it isn’t so pleasant. Still a ridiculous reason not to hire someone.
The interesting thing about Satanic Panic is that it’s easy to underestimate just how rampant it was. People straight up got life sentences for crimes that didn’t even happen. And even when evidence came out that it didn’t even happen, they *still went to jail*. One person I remember hearing the story of was accused by his daughters of using them as sacrifices in satanic rituals and even though he remembered none of it happening, he was so convinced it was real that he pled guilty and spent over a decade in prison. Even when he came to his senses and tried to get a pardon, it was denied and he had to serve the rest of his sentence. I genuinely don’t remember his name, but he was a cop if that helps anyone find the name.
Edit: the person in my example was Paul Ingram and he served ~14 years in prison for a crime that never even happened

The stories were so far fetched, too. Kids were claiming there were tunnels between CA and Washington DC and they'd be transported across the country, turned into animals and/or killed in demonic rituals that took hours to perform, brought back to life, and taken back to CA all within a few minutes thanks to time travel AND ADULTS BELIEVED THE STORIES!!! Kids were seriously traumatized because the "experts" would keep prompting them for more and more horrific stories and the kids started believing their own stories. Other experts would insist that the kids were abused and would supply graphic details about the "abuse" during "memory recovery therapy" sessions which traumatized the kids. Some kids ended up in therapy for years, trying to undo all the harm done to them.
People were freaking out about Dungeons and Dragons at the time as well, saying it was proof that demon worshipers were everywhere. People thought D&D was a huge threat to kids, that it would make them all lose touch with reality, start worshipping demons and/or commit self-termination . Trivia fact: Tom Hank's first leading actor role was in the movie "Mazes and Monsters", a movie about a D&D player going insane.

But there are always prejudiced people, or terrified people who take it out in anger and disgust, and I wish it didn't reflect on the vast majority of Jews
The car Karen probably "test drives" cars regularly. It's a great way to do the weekly shop and not have to pay for fuel.
Sounds like she took it out for a 2.5 hour off road day trip.
Yeah. Definitely doing something dodgy. The fact that she did 60 miles, some of which was off road AND picked up a friend, makes it sound like a regular free day out for her. She's probably been blacklisted by all the car dealerships in the neighbourhood now and is SUPER pissed about it.

I agree!
I feel like it is important to teach people from childhood that just because a situation upsets you or people respond to you in a way that causes fear or anxiety does not always mean you are correct or a victim. While this can sometimes be true, like with a bully or abuse, it is not always, and it is important to take a moment to get through your feelings and consider what happened with a level head, as you might just be in the wrong. Feelings are valid. Dealing with consequences can be scary and cause a lot of anxiety, but this does not mean you are right or your actions were justified.

I remember when someone said masks don’t work because pants don’t block fart smells or something like that; well, as an EMT i still need to wear a mask when in hospitals, nursing homes, etc. and while transporting patients. Let me tell you, mask DO block bad smells some of the elderly (and obese) patients smell like they hadn’t been washed in months. The masks make the smell almost bearable
I actually looked into this very briefly to try to get a rough scale. Fart smells are basically single molecules while a virus is a whole bunch of molecules fused together in a specific way to create not quite life, so I knew the size difference was drastic. DNA and RNA are not small on their own, and viruses have proteins and lipids too, at the bare minimum. The best way I can explain is that, very roughly, if you scale up a fart smell molecule to the size of a goofball, a virus is the size of a mansion. This is a extremely rough comparison.
@@ElleriaZer damn. I’m impressed
@@theodorebarton4256 why, thank you. I need to point out a typo there tho, goofball should have been golf ball, and autocorrupt got me and I missed it.
@@ElleriaZer
You’re forgetting the most important part: viruses are not free floating entities and REQUIRE human cells to infect to survive. So the viruses are only found in the sputum that contains the human cells and since the sputum is stopped by the mask, this keeps the virus from getting through a mask. Farts are gaseous and pass fairly well through a mask, but by containing one’s own smells, that helps drown out other smells.
@@ElleriaZer Lol, thanks for clarifying. I was considering: "Typo...or am I out of touch on a thing again?"

When I was a child, specifically around the age of seven, I had this idea that you physically could not kiss someone unless you were married to them, or at the very least that it was the worst thing morally you could do except unalive someone.

28:14 Karen is definitely a language! The Karen people (pronounced ka-REN" with emphasis on the second syllable) are an ethnic group from Burma who are persecuted in that country so most are refugees.
I used to live in a small town in Australia where about 10% of the population were Karen refugees, and as many didn't know English well, a lot of things were written in both Karen and English.
So the language Karen in a list including Burmese and Hmong makes total sense! Certainly not a mainstream language but I'd guess the website must have been about something to do with that region or those people.
No they were generally lovely people definitely not entitled Karens.

I agree that the "Karen outside the abortion clinic" one most likely didn't happen, but the ridiculousness of someone constantly being outside one of said clinics, which are often Women's Health clinics, is 100 genuine. We have a little Women's Health clinic in town and there are CONSTANT protesters with signs outside of it. I've been tempted to pull in, and when one of them yells at me about how I'm killing my baby, ask them if they think it is OK to kill a UTI infection. IF they say yes, then I'll head in. If they say no, I'll leave. I'm pretty sure they'll say yes. Also, I don't have UTI, I would just be going there to mess with the protesters.
Addition: As a former Hobby Lobby employee who regularly worked the returns register, TECNICALLY there is a second register for returns, but over a year of work and I think I only ever saw it used for such a handful of times. In this exact situation, I have two points: 1) This is precisely one of the times I saw that second register taking a return, during seasonal when purchases are massive, & 2) Did this Karen speak to a Manager of the CSM (Customer Service Manager)? Cause the CSM is not actually a manager, they are more of a supervisor, and are not allowed to be on a register unless they can hand over the lanyard (It labels them as the CSM) to either another CSM approved employee or a full manager. I ask this cause there genuinely would have been nothing the CSM could do t that point, if there was no one to give the lanyard to. It sounds like this may have been who Karen was speaking to, based on the post. And I know in my store, they wouldn't have cared if she came back another day or not. If you want to make the return, you'll make it. Our closest sister store was hours away too, so it's lot like they had options for other Hobby Lobby stores.
Addition 2: OMG. If Karens ACTUALLY read the bible, and saw all the stuff in it. It is nuts. There was a school district that made it to where parents could request books be removed from schools if they believed them offensive, and a parent put in a request for the Bible to be removed due to its content. It's hilarious because by their own rules, it is likely to be banned.
Not just a school district. Several states have laws like that and someone in Florida objected to the bible last year, and it's happening again in Utah at the moment.
I would love to know what the abortion Karen was supposedly being charged for. According to the story all she did was talk to people.
I reckon what really happened, if it happened at all, is that she assaulted everyone who tried going to the clinic until they were scared off and then assumed she was helping.
@@Alexander59059 Oh, she almost certainly verbally harassed and threatened them. Anti-Abortion protesters are, from everything I've seen _never "peaceful"._
Personally I believe holy books shouldn't be in public school libraries in the first place, but requesting removal due to it's content is freaking hilarious
@@Alexander59059 There are a lot of places where anti-abortion protesters/advocates aren’t allowed within a certain “bubble zone” of abortion clinics to protect patients. I’m guessing that was the “unconstitutional bubble zone law” she was breaking.

Plantation Karen would probably complain about a "camp" tour in Germany because she was only interested in admiring the architecture.
The O.G. Karen picture is of Marcy D'Arcy, a character from the sitcom 'Married With Children'. I don't consider her to be a true Karen, but rather a woman driven to the brink of madness by having the Bundy's for neighbours.
I love that show. And you’re so right, living next to them would have been a fuckin’ nightmare!
But man, was it great comedy… “Did you miss me?” - “With every bullet so far!” 🤣
She did have her Karen moments, but most of the time it was what she appeared to be because we were "supposed" to be rooting for Al Bundy and her husbands.

My absolute favorite thing is when businesses spill the tea on horrible customers who leave false reviews.
You can burn someone pretty badly with that
I don't like them because it's pretty much the definition of he said she said except the business owner has financial incentive to dispute the review and seem like the better person.
It heightens the justification for roasting somebody, because the Karen is trying to ruin this person's livelihood but It has to be very specific or it just doesn't work for me.
The Karen didn't sign up to get reviewed as a consumer so when they write 'I had a bad time the staff was mean" and the business owner goes into detail about how The customer doesn't know what medium rare is and wouldn't tip It just doesn't do it for me.
Some people think leaving any negative feedback for a business is morally wrong because it hurts the business And those people can get pretty cringe.
I actually listen to a podcast where the theme was unreasonable bad reviews
But then they just roasted any negative review, always assumed they were lying and had a personal vendetta against the business every time a review says the product didn't match the picture, and then around episode 50 they mentioned how they both used to work writing fake good reviews for Amazon products.

As a Christian with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, that’s one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever heard, and it doesn’t say that ANYWHERE in the Bible. Mental illness and possession are actually referred to separately several times, not as the same thing.
Isn't the prophet Jeremiah canonically depressed?
@@snekysneksi didnt know you had to use terms like "canon" in the bible. is there a fanmade bible or smth???
@@anshsgh6092 Yes. Dante's Inferno and Good Omens are two popular Bible fics.
There's plenty of fanfiction in the Bible, the whole books of John and Matthew are derivatives of Peter and Paul and some books like the book of James was excluded because of it.
@@anshsgh6092I might be wrong (i’m not christian) but I believe the word “canon” was originally used for the bible, and got picked up as a non-religious word after.
Fun fact: the Karen language is the language of the South Asian people known as the Karen - they live in a region around the eastern border of Burma/Myanmar. The more you know! 🌈⭐
It's also pronounced differently than the name. The ethnicity/language is Ka-REN instead of KA-ren.
The main difference is, I suppose, that with the junta restored to its totalitarian might, they'd prefer not to encounter management.
Thank you for saying this too! I have a friend who’s a Karen refugee and she and her family I think are some of the least entitled people I have ever met!
wanted to say this, so glad this comment is here!
Yeah, I had to look that up on Google because I was really confused after I saw it on a list of language translators available
In the movie Over The Hedge, the main bad guy was a Karen. She kept reminding everyone that she was the leader of the Home Owners Association and her haircut was just- Karen/Brenda Supreme. Her name was Gladys.
In regards to the test drive story: This is why a member of staff from the dealership sits through test drives here in the UK haha
I'm American, but I have literally always had someone from the dealership in the car for every test drive I've ever done. I didn't even know it was allowed to take the car without one.
I will say, I have had some longer test drives - I think my top was 45 minutes - but it was with the approval and active encouragement from the dealer rep - they wanted me to try the car on the highway to make sure I liked it.
There are actually people here in Germany that go to old concentration camps and complain about the tour guide, take pictures and selfies and are generally disrespectful. It hurts to see.
3:35 the ONLY reason I could see the lady not understanding why they were talking about slavery at a plantation would be because she didn’t know that plantations actually used slavery. In which case, that’s a pretty big rock she and her husband live under 😑
Of course they know about it, but they would like for people to pretend it didn't happen.
I lived through the 80's satanic panic. It really is depressing watching events repeat now in multiple fronts.
My biology teacher was a Karen. She once sent me home to change cause I was wearing a black shirt! And told me not to show up in black clothing to her class again lol! Luckily, she retaired soon after
The way my mouth automatically lets the words "Psst, disclaimer" out is amazing
Ooooh you do that too hahahaha
It's fun hahahaha
Yes
Same
I thought only I did that...
Thank goodness I'm not alone 😂
Transmission leak Karen hit too close to home. At some point my dad decided I wasn't allowed to park in his driveway because he claims my car is staining it. He now blames me for any random discoloration he sees - *in the street* on me 🙄
r/insaneparents
As a geek squad agent I'm not allowed to park in driveway without permission and most people don't give it because of fear of leaks. So I have to carry a TV further distance because of the paranoia
Tip for Karen’s if you say you can’t breathe with a mask on you’re openly admitting that furries are stronger than you
:edit this comment blew up more than I thought it would thank you guys for all the likes
Srs,full fursuit literally feels like you are microwaved
@@YourFriendlyShapeShifterFriend yeah you gotta put like a ice pack vest to cool you down I heard a suiter made one and then the army saw it and started using them or you could put a small fan in the head to help
Some full fur suits are heavy and hot. And people wear them for 6+ hours at cons. In a hot building full of people. So yeah. A lot stronger than Karen’s
If you can't breathe with a mask on, you're out of shape and need to do more cardio. Or go for long walks.
@@alxotl yeah and make sure to keep hydrated and clean the suit cleaned regularly because it gets real sweaty
I work at a dealership and yes it doesn't happen often but we get people who take way to long on test drives. For as long as I've worked here we've only had one person charged with theft as they took it out of town for the whole day...
There's another breed of Karen that neither blames others for the bad things their kids do or believes their child can do no wrong. It's the kind that believes if anything bad happens to their child, the child is fully at fault and possibly staging it or lying. My mother is one of these.
I haven't gotten much done today? Oh no, it can't be my ADHD that my mother refuses to acknowledge, I must be dragging my feet and I must be soOoO lazy because ADHD doesn't exist, I should be able to do it if she can
Yeah my mom is the same, i hope you are doing well
@@thecrazygooseofyourdreams4785 eh, it's bout the same as always, but thank you
#3 here
"kids don't live here!" Kid gets kidnapped from there. "Well kids don't live here anymore at least." Karens man...
The chick who took the test drive probably was shocked crying and acting pitiful didn't do her any good this time. She's lucky they didn't send her a bill for the cleaning they had to do.
Considering everything she did I assume she saw some post or "life hack" TikTok that said you can use test drives to run errands and save on Uber/ avoid public transit. I've seen a lot of people do this crap but she's the first that's been stupid enough to go off roading.
"I'm gonna go on a REAL plantation tour! Where they still have slaves and pretend raciam doesn't/didn't exist!"
I'd love to see the drive-thru lady in an In N Out drive-thru line
20:45 You don't just "think" that never happened. It cannot happen. Judges don't have the authority to drop charges like that, the prosecutor represents the state. But, if all these officers supposedly were there to support her, where did all the citations come from? Yeah, I can assure you, we talk before, after, and during shifts. If multiple officers wanted to provide cover, they'd have told her where to park and talked about avoiding minor citations for her, or just told her to move everytime the clinic called about her.
my friend got screamed at for going to her appointment at a planned parenthood. She was getting advice and personal screaming. it was very cheap compared to a doctor's office, but from all of that her cancer was caught early, that was long ago, she went from being 'sterile' from her GP's words to now pregnant with her second child. And yes, she has a new GP. After having her old GP telling her that the planed parenthood office was not an actual doctor's office and they were wrong. We laughed about it, a Lot.
edit: 29:13, she was the neighbor on 'Married with children'. And yes, she was a Karen. show ran from April 5, 1987, to June 9, 1997 in the U.S.
People don't understand that planned parenthood is way more than abortions, that the abortions are a very tiny part at that
Marcy Darcy?
I thought she was the mom from the first Friday the thirteenth- (she still might be but that role jsut wasnt what was being referenced)
6:55 to make it worse- the RCMP is the Canadian version of USA's FBI basically, so not only did she call the police, she called the advanced ones lol
Doesn’t Steinbach have its own police force? Or Manitoba in general?
@@TheDMan2003 I'm not sure, I'm not from Manitoba
@@HalaNixNyx Well, it’s the third biggest city in that province, so it would make sense…
@@TheDMan2003 True
my cousin's neighbour had chickens. He had to put them in little chicken jackets if they had a wound, because otherwise they would smell blood and eat each other, or even themselves.
chickens never forgot that they were dinosaurs
Honestly I think the one Karen talking about noise is the one I have mixed feelings about. She was probably complaining about some tiny noise and making a bunch of kids feel bad or something but as someone who grew up in a college neighborhood, sometimes there are actual loud noises and annoying neighbors. We lived on a block with mostly not college students (1 college dorm house next to our house) and across the street were all the college dorm houses. There were times when my dad had to ask them to turn their music down because it was dangerously loud (could have damaged their hearing) and because nobody could sleep (and I’m pretty sure they weren’t allowed to make that much noise). We used to go out into our backyard barefoot and run around (as kids do) until broken beer bottles started appearing all over the lawn and it became too risky to walk barefoot. I remember a time when my mom wouldn’t let me go outside and I couldn’t figure out why, I later learned that the neighbors were smoking weed and the fumes were blowing into our yard. For some reason our plants next to the fence never grew right, we had a raspberry plant and a magnolia tree and both of them were usually sick or unhappy, I saw people peeing on them through the fence. I think some of those are worth complaining about. There’s not always a need to involve police or a manager but asking people to stop doing something that is actually a problem is sometimes necessary
The thing about the test drive is... isn't that pattern of behaviour exactly what a car thief would do? Take a long time on the first test drive to see how long it takes for the dealership to contact you. That then gives you a good idea of how long you have got before they start getting suspicious. Then rock up a few days later and make off with a high-value vehicle with a known head start period on the authorities?
A karen complaining about Hobby Lobby is the biggest oxymoron as Hobby Lobby is the ultimate Karen, literally going to the Supreme Court to force its bizarre religious ideals on America.
What Happened?
Omg Hobby Lobby is the ultimate Karen 😂😂
@@sparkypikachu7776 They basically kicked up a hissy-fit about having to provide their workers with birth control via health insurance, a pretty standard thing even in the US, because they're a "Christian company".
Unrelated they've also been caught illegally smuggling artifacts, which violates multiple parts of the bible that condemn theft, ignoring taxes, and general law breaking so they cherry pick what they believe in,
@@sparkypikachu7776 The short answer? They basically made it that if Hobby Lobby pays for your insurance, that means they can decide which procedures you are allowed to get, based on THEIR religious practices.
Like, if I wanted birth control and work at hobby lobby? I need to pay for it out-of-pocket. Same for gender therapies, or other contraceptive devices.
I've never test drove a car for longer than 15 minutes ever because I'm afraid that the dealership will think that I'd stolen it.
27:28 As a retail worker who regularly sees customers ignore any reasonable amount of signage, I'd be willing to bet there was absolutely a sign this person thought they could ignore because no one was physically there to enforce it.
I'm with the customer on this one. You know where your workplace's signs are: you're used to the place. This customer was somewhere she had never been before. There was supposed to be a staffed place where customers pay, but there wasn't. This customer can't be blamed for ignoring something *that didn't exist.*
@DudeDastardly Reminds me of something I picked up from the urban-planning areas of RUclips when it comes to trying to get drivers to slow down: You need infrastructure to do the job. Signs, laws, and paint _do not qualify!_ They WILL be ignored if the design of the road itself doesn't say "go slowly here".
My family has owned plantations but also the other side of my family were slaves. I went to a plantation for a school trip and I felt SICK walking around that place, I couldn't imagine going to one "just for the food" and being able to sit down and eat comfortably. That woman was probably nowhere as uncomfortable as I was when I was 10 and that says a lot.
The rehabilitation of plantations as "aesthetic" is concerning
@@Gloomdrake If anything, Gatsby-style New York aristocracy is a way better aesthetic
I worked in retail and customer service for 10 + years and I met plenty of Karens of all races and genders and ages
2:51 As a Christian, I profusely apologize for this ridiculous person's actions. They are not one of us.
4:23 this is Like touring a concentration camp and complaining that it talked too much about the prisoners rather then focusing just on the commandant and his house parties.
Exactly my thoughts. Especially considering they are from Germany and Italy
Not the same, but I overheard a person complaining to her husband about the tour being too focused on the living conditions...
on a tour of the Andersonville Prison 😬
4:00 "I am by far not racist" … said every racist ever.
Also, I'm half-German-American and half-Italian-American, and _I_ have no problem learning about slavery, nor do I take it personally.
Interesting Fact: Here in the Mid-Hudson Valley, there are old 17th- and 18th-Century estates that have slave quarters. We don't like to remember that slavery actually existed _in most of_ the 13 colonies, including New York State. IIRC, the Livingston Estate is one where they found the foundations of the old slave quarters, and reconstructed it. And again, when I was visiting there, it made me feel a great deal of distaste and contempt for the Livingstons … but not for the history or the fact that it was being accurately shown.
Why do people see a blocked entrance and always think that they should logically just climb over it?
It it's hard for you to get someone, it's like that for a reason.
I've had customers climb in through windows because "the door was locked".
19:25 not to mention if abortion remains illegal people will have a higher chance of ending up dead, "the absence of legal does not mean the absence of action".
I legit laughed at the Mcdonalds to stop thieves one, because a house my mother was going to buy was across the street to a mcdonalds and it has been burgled at least SEVENTEEN times.
Even saw one burglary when I ordered from there once, and the dude just went in and grabbed a TV like it was a daily routine😂
So can confirm to that Karen that Mcdonalds DON'T stop thieves
The Karen is saying the McDonald's lowers property values so people will think the homes don't have anything worth stealing.
@@elaexplorer They also prevent gentrification, lowering the prices for everything else.
@@elaexplorer Okay, but in what world do "poorer neighborhoods" not get stolen from?
A puddle that size in a driveway during the time it took to deliver food is probably water condensation from the AC.
Time to go converse with a garbage can because it's still a better experience than talking to a Karen
I've had Popeye's biscuits before. Can confirm that not receiving one with your order can cause temporary psychosis.
26:07 reminds me of something that happened to me. I was in a summer camp with pretty bad toilets - like, they had no locks or anything, you just had to trust that nobody would be rude enough to just open the door. Suddenly, a janitor opened the door to clean the stall i was using (me being AFAB and him being a man only made it more awkward). He left and apologized. A few minutes later, he came back and opened the stall door without knocking *again*. Bruh, if it happens once, at least learn from your mistake wtf. At least he was chill about it.
Just for the record, in the US there's a monopoly on service and there's actually severe problems with areas having little to no service sometimes. Lady in the related story was still waaaaay out of line, but it didn't surprise me too much if they actually were in a no service area.
Especially if she was off roading
38:41 i love how she landed on her hands and yet still fell forwards into a faceplant, followed by rolling down the hill all in one extremely slow and awkward fashion. like, it practically happened step by step
I would not be the faintest bit surprised if as soon as she started falling, the only thought in the Karen's/Caren'ts head was: I'm gonna SUE him for Pushing me!!!
27:05 omg a janitor in my school did the same. But not about money. She just wanted to clean the stalls and I just happened to be using it at the moment. I literally was in for a minute and she just ripped the door open while I didn't even have the time to pull my clothes up and started screaming at me like "what are you doing in there?!"
Um, with my pants down? Well, obviously smoking!!
Of course not. God...
It was a pretty traumatic experience. And in 10th grade too!
From then on I always have this fear of someone doing this so I always hold the door handle now...
Discrimination based on names is a very real issue in the US. It's like the lady said, they just throw out the application or resumes if the name doesn't sound like the stereotypical educated white man/woman name. You could be white but named Tyrone and be denied at multiple locations because they assume you're black and uneducated.
in germany we got the joke, that kevin is not a name, it is a diognosis and while not an outright joke, something similar aplies to the name chantalle. it is not racist though, just discrimination, yeay, both clishees are expected to be just as white as the people lauthing. the dig is against poor uneducated and most often children of people from the ddr (east germany which was under sorviet rule)
It’s scary as hell that anyone thought they should have the right be policing peoples bodies and making ill informed choices about other strangers bodies
