That Karen didn't do "minor damage" to that poor child! A fractured skull, a broken nose, and a gash in his head that required staples, is NOT minor! She deserved every bit of that jail time!
'Nothing Serious,' 'no permanent damage,' I suppose she's a bit relieved he isn't going to die, but yeah I certainly agree with your sentiment... Left alone those would become permanent damage.
@@markgoodwin4500 She committed a crime against a child. That puts you on the bottom rung of the prison social structure. Oh, her ass is going to be whooped all right.
That’s what I was thinking too lol. I know myself well enough to know that if that was me, instead of thinking “my nephew is dying!” I’d be thinking “if I bash her head against the ground enough, the threat will stop moving.” And if that was my dad and someone hit kid me, he would 100% try to murder them.
Did no one else notice the EK in story three admitted she knew OP didn't work there, but at the bank? That woman was truly entitled and makes the mess soo much worse.
Op mentioned that screaming means blood, so it's easy to assume he had that reaction to blood before, the incident however wouldn't have helped one bit :(
Story 3: So Karen not only harassed OP, but calls her a neglectful teen parent (OP's the aunt of the kid, so way to assume), and then commits assault with severe damage. Wow, this woman has no respect for anyone, even the younger generation. Honestly, things could've gotten worse if OP went full Auntie Bear instead of being interrupted by the nephew screaming with pain
Go to show that Karen has a high opinion of herself and thinks she can do anything she wants. I betting that her seven year sentence will beat into her she a no one and is just a poor human being with nothing to show herself.
This would happen to me all the time when I would babysit in my early 20s all these Karens thought I was a teen mom. Luckily, they never did anything to me but I got the nastiest glares you can imagine.
"So, we're *you* raised by a single parent, or did both of your parents think the other was educating you... because either way, *you* are the one who has no manners!"
OP had a choice of putting Karen into a coma or seeing if her nephew was alright. She chose the wiser and more compassionate approach, if less satisfying. However, 7 years in a women's prison after committing a crime against a child...Karen is going to be getting more than a fair share of beatings before she is let out, if she makes it that long.
Story 1: I would have taught my kids to do something different. "If anyone asks you if they can take a day off, write down their name and tell them 'oh yes, mom wanted to tell you that she needs you in an hour early that day' and hang up." Then I would honour my kids words.
@@Kelle0284 maybe. But if my worker believes a 10 year old can determine if they can take work hours away, then that must mean they can assign hours as well.
@@Ladyoftheroundtable leaving a message and asking _them_ for the day off are two different things. The first is respectful, the second is an act of mutany.
Story 3: I'm an Auntie, too, and I can say with authority that if she left my presence without bodily harm 🩸 done by me, it would only be because I was focused on that child. 🚸 I learned how to be a protective Auntie from my mom and watching our German Shepherds. 😊 Yeah, I would've pressed every charge I could.
Story 3 : Karen couldn’t wait in line for 10-15 minutes patiently… now she HAS to wait patiently for 7 years before she can be released. So was her impatience and rage worth it?
I bet she runs/ran her mouth while inside jail/prison and got at least a few beat downs for it. Not to mention probably getting beat down for assaulting a child.
Story 4: Some people just take sports way too damn seriously. Like, it's just a fun game of tossing balls around, not a professional sports game. To paraphrase a sign, "Kevin's a kid, it's just a game, and no scholarships are being handed out." Honestly, the dad is a bad influence. He ignores the safety rules, pushes Kevin too much, harasses the other team like good sportsmanship is a myth, and then acts like he was wronged.
Story 3: How the "Oh yay, she knows me" was read made me chuckle. Good on Op for taking care of her nephew first instead of going after the Karen that hurt her nephew.
"You clearly work here. You wear the same uniform." "Oh my goodness mam. Let me take you to the glasses section. Clearly you left yours at home if you can't see i don't work here."
Once an assault on a child is involved, all bets tend to be off, especially, as in this case, where nobody had restrained the Karen until they'd tried to run from the consequences. Who knows what the Karen would've done if they'd doubled down. If it were one of my nieces or nephews, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep myself under control and not end up spending time behind bars for putting the Karen into a lifetime coma, breathing apparatus, feeding tube and all.
@@bcaye yeah... sorry, if someone did what the lady in story 3 had done to any of my children or nieces and nephews, there would be a nice fist or two... maybe a kick for good measure. No-one harms my family and gets away with it.
@@kerribottriell-baxter7345, firstly, great role model # Hulk smash. Second, again, you're losing contact with them probably forever. Maybe your family is different but we avoid violence until it's needed. Justice is making them pay, not wasting your own life.

I am convinced that those who think everyone "works there" are the same people who want to bring back slavery. "You work somewhere so you are now my slave!"
In Karen 3 (story 3) case. She was likely a sheltered princess who never had a job, married early enough to a wage slave who struggles to keep up with her Princess complex, and develop this idea that anyone who works is automatically her slave. Least she get them fired (not above lying to their employer that they misrepresented their company outside work when in reality Karen started a fight with them elsewhere and is now lying about the facts if it gets her some minor pathetic satisfaction in ruining someone! I shit you not a Karen did this once to a friend of my mom, that friend was already leaving the place anyway. But when Karen found out she was "still working and not satisfying her ego by being poor and homeless for daring to ruffle her peacock feathers" she tried again there only to be told to buzz off by the management and then lead away in cuffs cause she then SLAPPED the manager! Heard it cost her enabling husband big that he divorced her post haste after the shitstorm, she still got him in court, and he died miserable, but he got the last laugh, she spend the money like water that she ran out and unwilling to work, found herself "Homeless and Poor!" OH the irony LOL! She died penniless when I was 16, suffered all that when I was 8. Currently 36! Couldn't happen to a better person. Sometimes swallowing pride is good. Too bad Karen's fail that lesson!)
Story 3: wonder what Christmas at Karen’s was actually like? Glad she got a prison term! Remember Karen, patience is a virtue and didn’t you learn in elementary school we don’t hit people with our fists or objects?
Story 2: Karen got the waaaahmbulance she deserves! Story 3: "If you have someplace else that you need to be, why aren't you there, instead of making the rest of us listen to your whining?"
My "I don't work here lady" moment was actually wholesome. An old woman needed help getting something off the high shelf. I'm tall enough, so I got it down for her. She thanked me and actually went to the manager saying I'm such a nice employee.
Years ago my fiancé and I coached little league and had two brothers on our team. Each time Mom brought the kids everything was fine but when dad brought them it was horrible. Dad did just what DD did; prowled the sidelines, screamed at his sons as well as other players as well as us. We told him to sit down and stop yelling at the kids but he used to play ball in college and he knew everything that we were doing wrong. (He was an overweight, uncoordinated man child but sure he played college ball.) We got through the season and sincerely hoped that the brothers would turn out ok with the mom’s influence but we heard about them later. They grew up to be just like dear old dad. :-(
Story 3: I'd hate for Karen to accidentally exercise her single solitary brain cell and realize that there's a difference between working at a bank and working as a cashier. 🙃
Story 4: I actually think manager handled that well as she could. If cops got involved or a ban, it would put a spotlight on the fact OP isn't employee doing an employee role. That could easily create a domino effect of problems for OP, manager, and the person who he covered for. DB dad is a DB, but how she resolved it kept it from escalating and possibly getting someone like Aaron reprimanded or fired.
Saturday off story: Not only would Karen not get THAT Saturday off, she wouldn't be getting the next few months worth of Saturdays off either for pulling that stunt if I were OP's parent. Also, I'd had a meeting and describe EXACTLY what I consider an emergency situation is, along with posting my version of the definition in various areas of my department. Walmart Karen story: Does this particular Walmart happen to have an optometry shop? If it does, you should have escorted her there and told the staff Karen needed her eyes examined because she mistook you for a Walmart employee. Wouldn't that have been fun? But just another story that tells us we really should carry around business cards for local optometry shops for these Karens that can't read or tell regular clothes apart from store uniforms and the uniforms apart from other uniforms. Hobby Lobby story: OP, I'm glad to hear your nephew is doing well. Even had the child crying been one of my kids, I doubt I could or would have stopped myself from "doing unto her" what she had done plus interest. But you need to take some basic first aid classes. Grabbing and gathering up a person with potential head and neck injuries is often the worst possible thing you can do as it can exasperate the injury(s). Dodgeball story: I feel for the kid if he ever takes up a sport, whether in school or a summer league. Maybe not so much for the kid as for the coaches, parents and other kids. D dad is obviously trying to relive his less than glory days thru his kid. Poor kid!
That last story reminds me of something that happened when i was a kid in little league. I was waiting in the on deck circle for my turn at bat. A woman in the stands, apparently the opposing pitchers mother, started berating me. “And what do you think you’re doing out there little boy? You are going to get hurt! You look like you can barely hold the bat up!” I hit a home run on the first pitch. I ran the bases and made a muscle when i crossed home plate, grinning at Karen the whole time.
Story 3 - My heart goes out to OP and her nephew who got hurt because of that stupid Karen. It’s heart wrenching when innocent kids are caught in the middle of crazy situations because of people like Karens and wound up getting hurt because of them. I give OP major kudos for not going after that monster who hurt her nephew and instead went to aid her nephew. That lady wouldn’t have been so lucky with my family. I’m glad that Karen was arrested and charged in the end and that OP’s nephew is doing very well.
Jesus, that third story. Yeah, my heart stopped with your narration of the kid hitting the floor - I'm so glad the nephew's okay. And as much as I do think Karen deserved a (consequence free) disciplining from OP, I'm glad OP didn't get into trouble and was able to focus on their nephew. Good job, OP!
Story 3: talk about digging yourself deeper with the Karen degrading then assaulting OP and her nephew then getting her life ruined getting arrested(along with losing her job do to bad PR) then forcing to pay a stiff medical bill. And for what, for being to impatient to wait a few more minutes in line.
That’s the thing I’ll never understand. What the fuck do these people have going on in their lives that can’t wait to such a degree they turn into rabid monsters and likely risk everything? You think they ever think about that in prison, like “I’m seriously here because I couldn’t wait a few minutes, what the fuck is wrong with me?”
@@tde4438 no kidding, I heard about a Reddit story about a prison guard who process prisoner/Karen and has a bunch of stories about how these Karen cope in prison and let me tell they really are suffering badly living with harden criminal. The guard try his best to help the first time Karen avoid trouble but many of them didn’t make that far and made worst for themselves.
@@alantran4901 I can only imagine the insane awakening they got when they realize there isn’t a manager in prison and that entitlement is usually met with a shank in the yard
Funny thing about that. So the other day I went to look for something to eat and the fridge was open and you'll never guess what was inside. I found a huge
Maybe better than laughing at them, another approach is to treat Karens as if they have early-onset dementia, _which might actually be true in some cases:_ "Did you get separated from your care-giver? Do you have their phone number? On a card?" Be sure to speak kindly, but loudly in case they have trouble hearing.
Such wonderful civilized educated First World citizens. Such awesome examples to youngsters on how to behave! I am extremely grateful I do not have to deal with them.
There’s no excuse to harass people regardless on if they work there, though I do find it odd that so many people seem to walk around public places with their badges/name tags on from their jobs…obviously it’s one thing if you forgot you’re wearing it, but otherwise I like to imagine they’re a redditor just hoping to get an IDWHL story lol 😂
Story 1: After the 3rd time she asked I would have just said "No you cannot take Saturday off. Goodbye" Story 2: OP should sue Karen after her criminal trial...repeated harassment, attempted assault, falsifying evidence to the police about OP. Story 3: Karen got off super lucky...she only had to do 7 years in prison + 3 years probation...instead of being dead.
That last story, id imagine the manager didnt want charges pressed bc they could get into serious trouble for OP acting as monitor when they dont work there anymore
Story 1: Back in the day, telephones were like some kind of magic spell. It was like when some one called you you HAD to talk to them and they could make you do things.... Then later when you get older you realize that just because some one called you on the phone (especially sales people) you could literally just hang up the phone. Like we were raised to believe that it was extremely rude to hang up on someone. But the fact of the matter is THEY were the rude ones. Today people don't even make calls most of the time it is all texts. I still remember a sense of empowerment in my late teens I got by just hanging up on strangers that called my phone trying to get something from me. Of course this is all before cell phones were a thing.
I agree with the comment at the end of story 3. Normally I'm very passive. Say the right thing to piss me off and I get very verbally aggressive. Hurt a loved one and you're gonna need a plastic surgeon after I rearrange your face.
I used to work at Walmart. I saw a kid fall from a cart. When their head hit the ground. It sounded like a melon falling and hitting and exploding. When that happen we had to call managers to handle the parents
Story 1 - OP honestly should have told her. "One moment I will check.." flicked a couple pieces of paper and then gone. "I'm sorry, but according to her non-existent calendar you cant have the day off, but if you wish to have it off then feel free to do so."
Hairline skull fractures are no joke. He possibly had headaches for quite a while. When the head is hit on one side, the brain which is swimming in fluid bounces onto the other side of the skull. Even with a hairline fracture you can get brain swelling.
The woman in the store hurting OP's nephew is exactly why I was banned from going to Black Friday sales after I had kids. Lol😂 I barely had patience for them pre-kids but my mom would use my sister and I to run interference for her during them. My sister and I are 5'10 with Viking blood from our dad. Our mom is 5'1 lol. After I had kids tho, the first Black Friday I shoved 3 carts that intentionally ran into mine with my babies in it. And had to be pulled away from 2 fights. I was banned from them after that. 😂😂
Story two; if I was in that predicament, I might have 'accidentally' aided in the Karen's tumble into the shelves. A well-placed foot on the floor can be very difficult to make a determination of being intentional, after all. 😉
Story 3: If that happened to my nephew, I would've done the same as OP, but also yell at the offender: "You're finished!" What that Karen did was beyond insane! I hope she got what was coming while in prison.
As an auntie myself, I would absolutely not tolerate any kind of harm to children, especially innocent ones who did nothing wrong. I might not be the most confrontational person but I would never let anyone get away with hurting a child like that.
Remembering how I was as a kid, with the first Karen, If she had pressed me, I would have just said, "NO" and hung up! And as to being mistaken for a clerk, Just a couple of weeks ago I was in a grocery store, PUSHING a shopping cart around getting my bi-monthly supply of food. I was wearing a red, short sleeved, button up shirt and blue jeans and had about two weeks of a beard on my face. I look like someone, NO ONE would hire for ANYTHING at that moment! as I start down a isle the man of a man/wife team asks, "Can you tell where the pickle relish is?" I know the store some what but I have to answer, "I am sorry but I do not work here and having never shopped for pickle relish I have no idea where to tell you to even begin to look for it!" They apologized, I laughed and we all went about our business. Still DO NOT know where the pickle relish is located in that store though!
When I'm waiting in a long line, if there are little kids, I love playing games with the kids. Get the parent's permission, of course. Peak-a-boo, funny faces, etc. It's fun and makes the time go faster.
Story 3- if that karen had done that to my nephew, the store would have had to call for the County Coroner to remove the body , because i would show that karen absolutely no mercy, and ensure that she would never ever be able to do that again, because i have a philosophy, Mess With My Family And I Will Hurt You
That Karen didn't do "minor damage" to that poor child! A fractured skull, a broken nose, and a gash in his head that required staples, is NOT minor! She deserved every bit of that jail time!
'Nothing Serious,' 'no permanent damage,' I suppose she's a bit relieved he isn't going to die, but yeah I certainly agree with your sentiment... Left alone those would become permanent damage.

Thank you! Skull fracture only? That’s not an only that’s a serious issue not minor injuries!
Yeah. At that part I was wondering what the h3ll? Those are *serious* injuries!
Story 3: Karen is lucky. She could have been killed where she stood, and no one would have convicted the aunt. 10 years is a steal in comparison.
That’s what I was thinking too lol. I know myself well enough to know that if that was me, instead of thinking “my nephew is dying!” I’d be thinking “if I bash her head against the ground enough, the threat will stop moving.”
And if that was my dad and someone hit kid me, he would 100% try to murder them.

Story 4

OP: "Don't threaten me with a good time!"
Story 3: I feel bad for the kid... Imagine not only getting black eyes and a scar,but also developing severe hemophobia all because of a Karen.

Good think it's a nephew not niece.
Omg, I would of rage blackout if they did that to my kiddos (neices)
I would have pressed charges on her for that, if it was my Nephew, or did something far worse.

Saturday off story: Not only would Karen not get THAT Saturday off, she wouldn't be getting the next few months worth of Saturdays off either for pulling that stunt if I were OP's parent. Also, I'd had a meeting and describe EXACTLY what I consider an emergency situation is, along with posting my version of the definition in various areas of my department.
Walmart Karen story: Does this particular Walmart happen to have an optometry shop? If it does, you should have escorted her there and told the staff Karen needed her eyes examined because she mistook you for a Walmart employee. Wouldn't that have been fun? But just another story that tells us we really should carry around business cards for local optometry shops for these Karens that can't read or tell regular clothes apart from store uniforms and the uniforms apart from other uniforms.
Hobby Lobby story: OP, I'm glad to hear your nephew is doing well. Even had the child crying been one of my kids, I doubt I could or would have stopped myself from "doing unto her" what she had done plus interest. But you need to take some basic first aid classes. Grabbing and gathering up a person with potential head and neck injuries is often the worst possible thing you can do as it can exasperate the injury(s).
Dodgeball story: I feel for the kid if he ever takes up a sport, whether in school or a summer league. Maybe not so much for the kid as for the coaches, parents and other kids. D dad is obviously trying to relive his less than glory days thru his kid. Poor kid!
That last story reminds me of something that happened when i was a kid in little league. I was waiting in the on deck circle for my turn at bat. A woman in the stands, apparently the opposing pitchers mother, started berating me. “And what do you think you’re doing out there little boy? You are going to get hurt! You look like you can barely hold the bat up!”
I hit a home run on the first pitch. I ran the bases and made a muscle when i crossed home plate, grinning at Karen the whole time.
Story 3 - My heart goes out to OP and her nephew who got hurt because of that stupid Karen. It’s heart wrenching when innocent kids are caught in the middle of crazy situations because of people like Karens and wound up getting hurt because of them. I give OP major kudos for not going after that monster who hurt her nephew and instead went to aid her nephew. That lady wouldn’t have been so lucky with my family.
I’m glad that Karen was arrested and charged in the end and that OP’s nephew is doing very well.
Story 2:
"Even though there's nothing wrong with her."
Idk seems like there's a lot wrong with her
Jesus, that third story. Yeah, my heart stopped with your narration of the kid hitting the floor - I'm so glad the nephew's okay.
And as much as I do think Karen deserved a (consequence free) disciplining from OP, I'm glad OP didn't get into trouble and was able to focus on their nephew. Good job, OP!
Story 3: talk about digging yourself deeper with the Karen degrading then assaulting OP and her nephew then getting her life ruined getting arrested(along with losing her job do to bad PR) then forcing to pay a stiff medical bill. And for what, for being to impatient to wait a few more minutes in line.
That’s the thing I’ll never understand. What the fuck do these people have going on in their lives that can’t wait to such a degree they turn into rabid monsters and likely risk everything? You think they ever think about that in prison, like “I’m seriously here because I couldn’t wait a few minutes, what the fuck is wrong with me?”
@@tde4438 no kidding, I heard about a Reddit story about a prison guard who process prisoner/Karen and has a bunch of stories about how these Karen cope in prison and let me tell they really are suffering badly living with harden criminal. The guard try his best to help the first time Karen avoid trouble but many of them didn’t make that far and made worst for themselves.
@@alantran4901 I can only imagine the insane awakening they got when they realize there isn’t a manager in prison and that entitlement is usually met with a shank in the yard
Day 1 of reminding dark fluff to close his fridge door.
Funny thing about that. So the other day I went to look for something to eat and the fridge was open and you'll never guess what was inside. I found a huge
@@DarkFluffhuge what?!
@@Winkles09eggplant?
@Winkles09 there is nothing good that can come from that hanger 😅
@TheDarkLink7 yea I should've thought that through
Just remember folks Karen’s are just unhappy people who think they won the fight but lost the war
In some cases, yes but in most cases that can be violent, selfish sociopaths who are a danger to those around them.
15:26 That story I am the same way, anyone who messes with my family or anybody I care about will be in the hospital for months.
My heart got enraged and i would want to rip that karen a new one.
I got Japanese food earlier. There is *ABSOLUTELY NO WAY* i am shaking my head lol.
Maybe better than laughing at them, another approach is to treat Karens as if they have early-onset dementia, _which might actually be true in some cases:_
"Did you get separated from your care-giver? Do you have their phone number? On a card?"
Be sure to speak kindly, but loudly in case they have trouble hearing.
Such wonderful civilized educated First World citizens. Such awesome examples to youngsters on how to behave! I am extremely grateful I do not have to deal with them.
#1 I love how her response of fine I'll talk to her at work tomorrow was basically what she was told to do
There’s no excuse to harass people regardless on if they work there, though I do find it odd that so many people seem to walk around public places with their badges/name tags on from their jobs…obviously it’s one thing if you forgot you’re wearing it, but otherwise I like to imagine they’re a redditor just hoping to get an IDWHL story lol 😂
Story 1: After the 3rd time she asked I would have just said "No you cannot take Saturday off. Goodbye"
Story 2: OP should sue Karen after her criminal trial...repeated harassment, attempted assault, falsifying evidence to the police about OP.
Story 3: Karen got off super lucky...she only had to do 7 years in prison + 3 years probation...instead of being dead.
I've listened to the nephew story before, but each time I get very emotional just imagining my own little dude in such a situation.
That last story, id imagine the manager didnt want charges pressed bc they could get into serious trouble for OP acting as monitor when they dont work there anymore
Story 1: Back in the day, telephones were like some kind of magic spell. It was like when some one called you you HAD to talk to them and they could make you do things.... Then later when you get older you realize that just because some one called you on the phone (especially sales people) you could literally just hang up the phone. Like we were raised to believe that it was extremely rude to hang up on someone. But the fact of the matter is THEY were the rude ones. Today people don't even make calls most of the time it is all texts. I still remember a sense of empowerment in my late teens I got by just hanging up on strangers that called my phone trying to get something from me. Of course this is all before cell phones were a thing.
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
There's also the five D's of dodgeball: Dodge, dip, dive, duck and dodge
@@MrKeyblademaster1992 I see you're a true professional.
Third story: That woman got exactly what she deserved!
She really deserved to have her teeth flying like spilled chicklets! 😡
You have a great deal more self control than I do, she would have needed that ambulance more than the little guy, glad he wasn't to badly hurt
Fluff, your videos always make my day!!! ❤❤❤
Imagine trying to get permission from the child of your boss for time off.
Story two: Cracker Barrel
Nephew being 4 years old was likely to his benefit in his skull hitting the hard floor. It would have been much worse in an older child or person.
Last story: to say DD was treating the game like the Super Bowl is an insult to the Super Bowl.
More like the Peewee league.
YES press charges!! Always press charges
Story 2: I want that court case transcript, it can be nothing but gold.
Dear fluff, please give stevo some food and water and enrichment ❤ thanks boys
Wait till Karen get out of prison then deal with her . 7 years not enough
I agree with the comment at the end of story 3. Normally I'm very passive. Say the right thing to piss me off and I get very verbally aggressive. Hurt a loved one and you're gonna need a plastic surgeon after I rearrange your face.
'You work in a bank so go open up a register at Hobby Lobby' Yes that's not how it works
Apparently going to prison is somehow a better option than admitting a mistake...
Hubris can do that to a person (like alot of them)
You've just gotta love TheFluff!! ❤️
D-bag dad didn't remember the 5 D's of dodgeball: Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge
The second story: OP is a Cracke Barrel server or retail employee. It's an unmistakable uniform
I used to work at Walmart. I saw a kid fall from a cart. When their head hit the ground. It sounded like a melon falling and hitting and exploding. When that happen we had to call managers to handle the parents
She's lucky.... The Auntie didn't go One-Punch-Man on her.
Can't wait in line??? She can then wait in prison for at least 7 years, or more.
Story 1 - OP honestly should have told her. "One moment I will check.." flicked a couple pieces of paper and then gone. "I'm sorry, but according to her non-existent calendar you cant have the day off, but if you wish to have it off then feel free to do so."
OP in the dodgeball story should have said to the DD with the headband "hope your head gets better"
2:20 This is where you say "oh actually, my mom says you have to come in on Saturday."
"nephew has a hairline SKULL FRACTURE and BROKEN NOSE"
Dark Fluff: I'm so glad that kid came away with minor injuries!
Um, what?!
Hairline skull fractures are no joke. He possibly had headaches for quite a while. When the head is hit on one side, the brain which is swimming in fluid bounces onto the other side of the skull. Even with a hairline fracture you can get brain swelling.
The woman in the store hurting OP's nephew is exactly why I was banned from going to Black Friday sales after I had kids. Lol😂 I barely had patience for them pre-kids but my mom would use my sister and I to run interference for her during them. My sister and I are 5'10 with Viking blood from our dad. Our mom is 5'1 lol.
After I had kids tho, the first Black Friday I shoved 3 carts that intentionally ran into mine with my babies in it. And had to be pulled away from 2 fights.
I was banned from them after that. 😂😂
If that karen suddenly disappears~~well. OP, myself, and 17 other people were all at a houseparty in KANSAS when it occurred!
All these karen stories in the midwest make me think that it's worse there than in the south
Being a teen mother is 100% a choice and absolutely something we can judge people for.
FLUFF! Yay!. First a Waffle, now Fluff. Going strng in to the weekend.
You are the best fluff and hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
Story two; if I was in that predicament, I might have 'accidentally' aided in the Karen's tumble into the shelves.
A well-placed foot on the floor can be very difficult to make a determination of being intentional, after all. 😉
“Minor damage” would be a concussion, not a broken nose, hairline fracture in the skull, gash in the head, and two black eyes!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I love the fact that you said "Karen assumes everyone's a customer!" instead of "an employee" for your intro lol
Story 4: The 5 rules of dodgeball
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Don’t be D*ck!
Story 2: That's how a manager should handle a Karen, not giving them any kind of satisfaction.
Story 3 that Karen is so lucky that OP wasn’t me. She would have been in a hospital bed of her own if she had done that to ANY of my loved ones
I would never apologize to someone for not working somewhere. I'd just say nope, don't work here.
Story 3: If that happened to my nephew, I would've done the same as OP, but also yell at the offender: "You're finished!"
What that Karen did was beyond insane! I hope she got what was coming while in prison.
As an auntie myself, I would absolutely not tolerate any kind of harm to children, especially innocent ones who did nothing wrong. I might not be the most confrontational person but I would never let anyone get away with hurting a child like that.
Remembering how I was as a kid, with the first Karen, If she had pressed me, I would have just said, "NO" and hung up! And as to being mistaken for a clerk, Just a couple of weeks ago I was in a grocery store, PUSHING a shopping cart around getting my bi-monthly supply of food. I was wearing a red, short sleeved, button up shirt and blue jeans and had about two weeks of a beard on my face. I look like someone, NO ONE would hire for ANYTHING at that moment! as I start down a isle the man of a man/wife team asks, "Can you tell where the pickle relish is?" I know the store some what but I have to answer, "I am sorry but I do not work here and having never shopped for pickle relish I have no idea where to tell you to even begin to look for it!" They apologized, I laughed and we all went about our business. Still DO NOT know where the pickle relish is located in that store though!
When I'm waiting in a long line, if there are little kids, I love playing games with the kids. Get the parent's permission, of course. Peak-a-boo, funny faces, etc. It's fun and makes the time go faster.
Hey Fluff. In your intro I think you meant to say "Karen's thinks everyone is an employee" not a customer. Lol
The kid in the first story should have just said. NO! You're working Saturday, and hung up.
What irony? A crazy Karen lecturing someone about manners? GOOD GRIEF
Story 3- if that karen had done that to my nephew, the store would have had to call for the County Coroner to remove the body , because i would show that karen absolutely no mercy, and ensure that she would never ever be able to do that again, because i have a philosophy, Mess With My Family And I Will Hurt You
