I also have a handicapped placard for my car. I was parked there, had gotten my groceries, put them into the back of the vehicle and was taking the cart back to the cart corral. This woman, Karen, stopped and said to me "you don't look disabled". For once I was quick thinking and said "well you don't look stupid either but here we are". She stood there dumbfounded, I got into my vehicle and drove away.
More disabled than him? She parked around the corner, walked to his car, even if he left, she would have to walk all the way back around the corner to get her car and drive back. There could be someone else in that spot by the time she drove back. Just go shopping, lady.
The "MIKE!!" story: She was a gate attendant at Cedar Breaks Park in Georgetown, Texas. The OP in the car accidently went the wrong way down to the wrong exit. He started to pull back out, to find the right exit, when the Karen stood in front of his vehicle so he couldn't leave. The Karen later got fired for illegally detaining him. The Disabled parking badge story: This went viral a while ago. The OP showed at the end of the video, this has been cut short, that he only had one leg.
As a very young Disabled person, I agree with this man. Too many people question my permanent handicap placard. Just cause you can't see my disability and I don't use my mobility aid every day doesn't mean I'm any less disabled. I love you Charlotte
Same, I have really bad back issues that have needed multiple surgeries to sorta fix. I'm under 30 and some days are better than others but for a year I was using mobility aids to get around. The looks I got and the judgemental comments from people like 'you don't look disabled '. It just gets to you after a while but I shouldn't have to justify using mobility aids when I can barely walk more than 10 steps without falling over. I'm currently doing better but even without my personal experience I wouldn't look at someone who's young and assume they can't be disabled. It's just mad.
Same this exact thing has happened to me in a store and I just casually dislocated my shoulder (I have Ellers Danlos syndrome so I can do it pretty easily even if it is painful) to “prove” my disability and the guy who was yelling at me was so embarrassed lmao
They do not hand out those placards upon request. It takes serious health needs to get approved. My mom has a significant ortho disability that is extremely rare (her legs are two completely different lengths, 6 inches apart) but she could walk semi-unassisted (she did better with an arm than a cane) when she was still driving. She got a placard in our home town where our doctor knew her personally & that she really was walking too much for someone who is just fully missing a hip on one side, but she’s too proud & independent. When they retired to the biggest city in our state, my mom learned that she didn’t technically qualify according to the new doc, but they can’t take it away if your health hasn’t improved. Despite her walking independently, lol, no one ever questioned her status, but a shoe with a 6 inch lift is startling & kept most people quiet. My fave was when people would recognize her from high school (40-50 yrs earlier) & pretend that they just always would recognize her face, not her enormous shoe. Her disability can now be corrected in infancy, so yay for progress, that’s why you rarely see really big lifts on shoes anymore. One of my students’ kids had her leg grown out to the right size before she was 2 (it hurts but prevents pain later, same tech as jaw widening) & and artificial hip joint installed in her toddler years!
She can walk, she can park one space away. My mother is a triplegic and she needs handicap parking so I can physically lift her in and out of her wheelchair. You cannot do that in regular size spaces. People always park on the loading zone lines (like motorcycles) and people who can walk one more space over hog the spots. I can walk but I could be waiting for my mom in the doctor’s office for her MRI and whatnot. A lady in a giant truck sat there waiting behind my Camaro as I sat outside taking a cigarette break telling me I had no right to be there instead of just parking next to us in the non handicap spot. I told her, “oh yes one moment!” and went to get my mom in her wheelchair and let her watch me lift my mom like a child with all her 150 pounds of dead weight, buckle her in, load up her wheelchair in my trunk, and slowly back out. I then waited and watched her with my mom and she and her husband hopped out of their giant truck. My mom used her only working limb and tried to flip them off but couldn’t utilize her fingers properly so she shook her fist at them instead LOL (she can’t speak anymore either because of her brain damage). So I said, “YEA MAMA! YOU TELL ‘EM! FOR SHAME! SHAAAAAME!!!” Haha it was a great time for us 😂
I like how she said you can’t see her disability, yet still questioned why HE doesn’t LOOK disabled! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I have 3 autoimmune disorders and a heart condition, mine are all invisible!
Another autoimmune disease sufferer here. They suck sooooo hard. I can also tell you the day before it rains b/c of my migraines, it's like the world's worst spidey sense.😂 One of my problems is my kidneys. Karen gonna need a knife to see THAT disability!
@Just1Nora seriously though! After test after test they can hardly see my disability unless I'm cut open 🙃 I must be fine though! Karen there sounded like the old medical team that didn't want to figure out the actual issue 🙄
Tim Hortons charged me the wrong drink, i just told them what i wanted and it was like 1 dollar less, they wanted to refund me and i told them to keep it as a tip. She made the drink i wanted and the manager gave me a donut because i was nice. No need to scream at people.
I was just in a Timmy's here (Montréal) 2 days ago with a Karen. She walks in and goes directly to the pick up side instead of waiting in the long line (extremely busy). In a pissy voice says to the young, timid employee that she was in YESTERDAY and the guy made her drink wrong and she wants a new free one today!! The girl is a little confused and clearly is taken aback. Karen continues snarkly saying (voice rising) that she is a customer here and comes in all of the time and orders this particular drink and wants a new one. Along with describing the employee that made it wrong and how great of a customer she is. The poor girl looks as if she about to cry so she just quickly makes her a new one.
Reminds me of when my and my sister first visited Disney World (we’re European) and one of the rides was down at EPCOT and we were like “oh that’s ok we’ll come back later!” We came back later and still the same issue. “That’s ok. These things happen!” The guy working there said “you guys are definitely not from around here. You’re way too laid back” That honestly made me a bit sad. Where’s the human decency and kindness?
I was in drive thru at Starbucks & they accidently put caramel on my frapp instead of mocha (I don't like caramel), but I didn't get mad. I just parked & went inside, nicely told the barista what my original order was. I felt bad enough bc I hate returning stuff, but he was nice bc I was nice & he replaced my drink. They typically throw the drinks away so I gave the wrong one to my husband lol
@@lucialovecraft I will never understand why people get angry and yell at the employee at rides in amusement parks when a ride isn't working. As if that employee has any control of a ride not working! They WANT the rides to work properly all of the time so they don't have to deal with rude and unkind guests. Same goes with being angry at a server because the food isn't cooked to their liking. They didn't cook the food.
The fact that she didn’t tell her “yep, that’s a good spot to sit and wait for the cops. No, just sit right there hon, they’ll get here to sort this out soon.” 😂😂😂 she’s a saint
My husband and I went to see a movie. We parked in the handicap spot, I have a placard for chronic rheumatoid arthritis. Everyone in line looked at me when this young man said, "you don’t look handicapped to me!" I said, "thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment". That ended that!
My mom too! She has chronic rheumatoid arthritis that she takes steroids and all kinds of other stuff for. She can't grip stuff, she can barely grip the steering wheel when she drives. She got approved for and started using a handicapped placard a few years ago. No one's ever given her a rough time about it at least not that I know of.
@@tamarak9393 Second plot twist, she's actually asking for a microphone so she can scream nonsense through a P.A. system. Alternative, camera pans to show a mike stand all alone on a sidewalk with the sound of crickets in the background.
God that one about the disabled parking reminded me of my former MIL She had her foot amputated due to a medical condition and used a prosthetic. This one day she had parked in the disabled parking at the grocery store and as we were getting out this lady rocked up in her van and started shouting and arguing that my MIL couldn't park there, she was taking away parking for disabled persons and she didnt look disabled. We had that same argument about "well whats your disability if you're disabled?" and my MIL just had enough and reaches down and throws her foot at the woman. Just the whole ass prosthetic foot. I died laughing and the Karen quickly drove away.
The Starbucks story reminds me of when I went to Subway recently. The young man serving me was a trainee and he did absolutely great; perfect portions of everything. When it came to the sauce, they’d just run out of the sauce I wanted so I chose another sauce. He grabbed the bottle..and got about two squirts out of it. He offered to run out back and get more but I assured him it was enough.He kept apologising when he was charging me and and I kept saying it wasn’t his fault. We both wishes each other a great day. Kindness costs nothing 💕
The absolute hypocrisy of that English woman, “oh I have a disability and I don’t have to show you and you don’t look disabled” and “I don’t have to show you”but her demand for him to show her just wow
@@Tayl0r_ why does it matter if it's real or fake tho? It's not like it's any life altering content like medical advice or something. It's just for entertainment, isn't it??
1) he should’ve started to roll up the window when she reached her arm in 2) i love how she says her disability is invisible but still valid while screaming that he doesn’t look disabled oml
On the disabled parking thing: I had a friend of the family who was a military vet, got his leg blown off, used a prosthetic. He was sitting in his car, getting ready to go into a store (In the disabled spot, yes he had a placard) and a lady came up and was very much like the lady in the vid. So This military vet, gets out of the car, pulls his pant leg up to show his prosthetic and just goes "Disabled enough for you?" Don't know why years later that still makes me laugh.
Reminds me of the time I was at a party, chatting with a really cute guy, a guitar picker who went by the nickname "Blue", and we were hitting it off pretty well. He asked me if I could bring him back a beer since I was going to get one for myself, and like a jerk I said, "You've got two good legs, get it yourself!" I was horrified when he pulled his pant leg up to show his prosthetic. His leg was amputated above the knee! I couldn't apologize enough, and the rest of the night I was asking him if he needed anything from the kitchen. I deserved humiliation for saying such a stupid thing, but he was so sweet we even dated for a few months after that. I told my dad about my gaffe and he made a pun, "Looks like you have "hoof in mouth" disease!". There's a real disease called "hoof and mouth", common with cattle. I just googled it, and now I'm laughing all over again! I never knew the scientific name for the virus that causes this disease... I kid you not, it's called "Coxsackievirus"! 🤣 Yeah, I acted like a total Coxsackie that night.
I have a friend who is also a veteran and has a prosthetic arm and a prosthetic leg, thanks to an IED. He parked locally, in a garrison town, and put his badge on display. He came back to a parking warden and a Karen standing around his vehicle because "he didn't look disabled". That man nearly died for our country - what have they done?! Personally, I would have done what your friend did (& possibly slapped them with it...), but he didn't because "I'm not reliving the worst day of my life for these clowns", which is understandable. Particularly in the UK, you can only get a blue badge (disabled parking badge) if you have proven your disability to the relevant authorities. Karens do not get to decide who is "disabled enough" and they certainly don't get to override medical professionals who actually know the patients history and have deemed them as needing assistance.
The sad thing about the disabled parking thing, is that happens all the time because old disabled people refuse to believe that a young person can be disabled. I’ve seen it happen, I’m disabled, my mom is disabled, and a lot of my family is disabled. It’s insane the entitlement I see from older people in the disabled community.
Its really sad, both me and my father are disabled, but neither of us have missing limbs. We just deal with daily chronic pain, fatigue and other symptoms. People are so ignorant about disabilities even today.
100% this, a TON of older people fall into what I consider a sort of death of spirit and potential, long before their physical death, where they allow their minds to stagnate and viciously refuse to try to continue learning and growing. It happens to tons of young people too. I think we just recognize it in older people the easiest because people who've "stagnated" (for lack of a better term) long ago haven't changed much from what their parents and society first taught them, and since the beliefs they had when they stopped growing were the longest ago, they're usually some of the most ignorant when compared to what we know today. If you're old enough, we all know somebody our age who is no different today or even worse than they were as an ignorant, bigoted teenager. I believe it can happen to anyone who lets it happen, but we not only notice it easier in longest stagnated people but also socially ACCEPT it, which blows my mind to no end. People will say "He's just old and stuck in his ways. He's from a different time." as if that's an excuse rather than an admission of the person failing to work on themselves for a lifetime. Age is no excuse for bigotry.
My mom always tells me, "Well, you've got two good legs!" Compared to her, yeah, but she also knows I have dealt with chronic pain since I was a teenager, so more than half my life...
@@EH23831I do, too, because I saw almost the exact same video yesterday in the exact same spot, same male voice, but a different woman. She was saying almost the exact same things about him, his car, and herself.
I had a friend who had surgery on her foot and they gave her a placard. I took her grocery shopping and parked in one of the many open handicap spaces. I step out and start opening the back door to get my friends crutches and this woman starts yelling at us. How awful kids are these days and how those are reserved spots. I just look at her pull out the crutches. She runs off without an apology.
My mother and I were at a charity shop. We were parked in a disabled parking space. I am overweight and not disabled. I am an adult. I came out and walked to the car to put the shopping in. I am strong and walk fast. A disabled woman and her mother were waiting and I got yelled at and flipped off and so on because I "Took their spot." And didn't need it. I just waited as my mother slowly walked over with her walked and I handed her the keys and began folding up her walker as she got into the drivers seat.
@@monkimallow and that’s why if I ever borrow my mom’s car I take her placard down when I park so no one assumes I’m trying to use it even though I’m not in a disabled spot. And then out it back up for her when I get home
I’m Autistic (and no, that doesn’t get me a placard, for once my hidden disability isn’t an issue, I much prefer parking further back where it’s more open!) and in my younger days I struggled even more with social interaction than I do now. It got me into trouble at times, because I genuinely just didn’t get why you shouldn’t say certain things out loud. And what I’ve learned over the years as I worked my way up to a reasonable level of proficiency in basic interaction is this… there are people out there who think of themselves as being really good people, nice, kind to animals, tactful and polite. They commit no crimes, they give to charity, and this is key… they only let their anger out at people who deserve it. And dayum, do they look for chances to do that! They give you a compliment, you’d better thank them. They bless you when you sneeze, you’d better thank them. They do literally anything for you, you’d better thank them. If you don’t respond at exactly the same level of kindness and politeness as they expect, if you don’t look them in the eye, if you don’t realize there’s an expectation that they think literally everyone just knows… these “nice” people assume it was deliberate, that there’s no excuse, that you are in the wrong, and that you deserve whatever you get. In short, as with anyone they think is abusing the handicapped parking, they have found someone who “deserves” it and they pounce like a cat on an unattended filet-o-fish. They’re so kind and charitable, until they think you don’t deserve their precious and apparently limited kindness. So best believe they’ve hit the jackpot if they think you don’t deserve that parking space. It really shows how people are on the inside. Some people feel that kindness is an exhaustible resource, and has to be portioned out carefully and only to those who deserve it.
I love how disabled parking spot karen's whole argument was "You don't look disabled so you must reveal your personal, private information to me about your disability and then prove it so that you can park here" yet when he turns the same question on her, she says "I don't need to prove my disability to you". Like, what's the difference between them? lol. And news flash, not all disabled parking badges look *EXACTLY* the same, Karen.
Disabled parking is a sticking point for me because my late wife was permanently disabled (muscular dystrophy) but that doesn't mean I'm going to confront everyone I see parking in disabled parking spots. Lots of people have the placards that hang on the rear view mirror and sometimes people who have them forget them at home or leave them in their other vehicles.
I was thinking what is she on about because she doesn't look disabled either, I know people with blue badges and they don't look disabled but they are legally entitled to them, he could been there with his nan who was picking up her medication while he waits in the car and it's her badge which would be completely legal as the badge holder just needs to be a passenger and not the driver, some people really are stupid, and she has no legal right to demand to see the badge, I would told her to get the cops there and put up my window, and reaching into the car like that really annoyed me, if someone did that to me their arm wouldn't leave the car the same way it entered
What bothers me is that she made clear verbally that she was disabled, but he wasn't allowed to ask any questions, yet she was allowed to grill him... And, here in the UK, disabled parking badges ("blue badges") are given for mobility issues only. If she was able to park some distance away and walk over, stand and film, argue and twist herself to reach into his car like that, without showing a hint of physical discomfort, then she does not qualify for the blue badge scheme. He, on the other hand, didn't get out of the car, so we have no idea what his disability may be or (as @edwardfabbrucci3437 rightly said, he could easily be waiting on someone else). From where she was standing, she would have no idea if the car had any adaptations other than a rear access wheelchair ramp (she wouldn't know if it had hand controls, for example, if he was paraplegic). I hope he gets something like her reg plate or calls the police and finds out who she is, because: 1) Her local authority will be taking that blue badge back from her, based on that video; 2) She could probably face criminal charges for the way she harassed him and leant into his car; 3) If she's claiming any disability benefits for impaired mobility (PIP, for example, is often a requirement for a blue badge), then she's about to have that stopped and find herself in court for benefit fraud. And she'll deserve every last bit of karma that finds her. She's also incredibly lucky that the dude she picked on was calm... I treat quite a few blue badge holders who are veterans and, if she'd put her arm into one of their cars like that, it would no longer have been attached by the time it left the vehicle...
If someone harasses you about a disabled parking spot, just call the authorities. Nobody has the right to harass you, especially when they try to steal your friggin’ badge.
In my state, if you're illegally in a handicapped spot and someone with proper handicapped credentials wants the space, they can get the police to tow it. Heck, I think the police can tow the car even without a complainant.
for eel . and if they ask for proof you have a disability , it’s a violation of the HIPPA law , and you’d have a strong argument against them if they contact police .
@@macpro75 Of course police can tow illegally parked cars without a separate complaint. Handicap stickers are issued by the county/city govt and are enforced by their police agencies. But, it's usually brought to the police's attention due to a complaint because police are busy with other duties. Some cities have parking patrols, where that's all they do, look for vehicles that violate parking laws and regulations.
I’ve had a bone marrow transplant, open heart surgery, 24 years of monthly blood transfusion.. I had a disability badge.. the amount of people who questioned me! It was uncomfortable for all. One man sat on my bonnet! I fully popped open my shirt to show him fresh open heart surgery scar and a tube still in my chest.. my mum was like I told you not to get in to it with her 😂 I have no shame.. f around and find out.
That's what you do. Don't argue, just show if you can. I don't have any physical disabilities, but I did encounter something slightly similar during restrictions. For context, I have asthma. I worked in a restaurant and I was wearing a mask as we were supposed to. This particular day, I was a good 8ft. from the register and about 10ft. from my coworkers, so I pulled down my mask to take a sip of water and breathe some fresh air for a second. I guess I didn't put my mask back up fast enough for this particular lady who just decided to have a fit that I had lowered my mask, despite the fact that, again, I wasn't near anyone. I stood there and let her do her rant, get it out of her system, and didn't respond to her. She finally pulled the "What do you have to say for yourself?" card when she was done. Again, I didn't say a word. I looked her dead in the eye, reached into my pocket, and pulled out my inhaler. The guy behind her was fuming at her. "How dare you talk to her the way you did! You should be ashamed of yourself acting like an entitled child! Just goes to show you never know what someone else is going through or if they have underlying issues they have to live with. You better not leave this building until you apologize to her for the way you acted!" The lady just huffed and left and the guy, bless his heart, tried to stop her going full "Dad Mode" scolding her as she walked out then apologized to me on her behalf. I just laughed it off, thanked him for defending me the way he did, but I know a lost cause when I see one. His face went from red with rage to red from laughter. Other than that lady, I had a really good day that day. 😊
Someone years ago came up to me while I was in my wheelchair, accused me of 'faking it' because I was in my early 20s (I've been disabled since birth due to a genetic mutation) and tried to wheel me out the way of the lift. Lmao her face when she realised it was an electric wheelchair and didnt freewheel was hilarious. Imagine someone putting their full force against something with very strong brakes. Everyone was very amused. She then took the stairs.
I wouldn’t have laughed at all. I’d have 🌶️ sprayed her ___! You don’t mess with someone’s freaking wheelchair and try to essentially kidnap them! Just reading this p*sses me off!
I had an old woman try to PUSH ME OUT of the disabled seat on a packed bus that was right in front of the door, whilst people were boarding. I pointed at my cane and said "ma'am, I'm disabled". She didn't stop and called me "not that disabled, the elderly need it more". I made eye contact with the guy directly across from us, my expression saying "is she for real?" and the guy behind us lost it and startedlaughing at her, and she got so miffed she stepped off the step, out of the bus.... just before it closed and pulled away with her running to get back on. She could run quite well for someone who looked to be in their late 60's!
Isn't trying to move someone on a wheelchair against their will against some sort of law? Like akin to kidnapping? Idk if it has to do with the amount of feet moved, but I know I heard it somewhere
Bonus info on Ulta Karen: According to the police she was claiming and/or under the impression that this mother and daughter had followed her from another store. The police did show up after the video ends. An officer and an Ulta employee helped escort the mother and daughter to their car. Karen apparently became verbally aggressive with the cops and made a comment about them "talking with the enemy" when they went to get statements from the mother and daughter. According to report, Karen frustrated the first officer so much he stepped away and had the second officer talk to her. She refused to give her name to the second officer and then tried to claim she didn't have a phone when asked for her phone number, despite holding her phone. The altercation ended with the Karen being arrested for not complying with the police.
This is your reminder to give your schizoaffective relative their meds, and make sure they swallow them. Otherwise you get people telling others that they're talking to the enemy or screaming in your face and trying to pry your door off the hinges looking for the spies and aliens.
Thanks for sharing the backstory and the end result! That's just 🤌 *chef's kiss*. I love when the Karen thinks the police are going to show up and immediately take THEIR side, and they act so obnoxious and and hostile towards either the person they were attacking, the officer(s), or both, and end up going to jail themselves. Instant karma is a thing of beauty!
Crazy that when you live in the same town as other people, they may or may not need to visit the same places as you! Thanks for the back story. This Karen sounds as paranoid as they get.
@@Tayl0r_yes, it's called racism lol She was just a racist displaying racist tendencies. If she were any other race, she would have immediately been arrested for getting aggressive and not complying.
@@Lill2895 I mean, " just a racist displaying racist tendencies" isn't entirely fair. I mean, she is a racist, but she's not not *just* displacing racist tendencies... she clearly has paranoid delusions if she thinks these two women were specifically following her and part of a conspiracy against her that the cops were also involved in. She has dangerous mental healthy problems.
My mom parked in a pregnant person’s place, and some lady came up and told her that was for pregnant ladies only. My mom always wears super baggy clothes, and it hid her belly well. My mom said, “I am pregnant F off”. The lady got so mad, so mom turned around, my sister in her one arm and she lifted her sweater to show her very pregnant belly. The lady grumbled and said she thought mom was just fat. My mom is Scottish and a red head with a temper. Thankfully for that lady she had me and my sister and was 7 months pregnant 😂
Wish we had pregnant people parking in the states. I have been blocked in by cars parking too close to the line and my pregnant belly literally wouldn’t fit in the space available.
@@Tree_fairy I've seen parking reserved for "pregnant women and parents with young children" up near the front at some Wegmans and Targets in New Jersey
We have mom's and tots parking here in South Africa. They are a bit wider and allow you more space to be able to get the kids into carseats and prams into boots. They are brilliant
the hypocrisy of "you don't look disabled, what is it, prove your disability to me" and "I don't have to prove my disability to you" coming from the same Karen is just... I have no words...
It pisses me of so bad because ma’am if you’re disabled and especially invisible disability HOW in the hell you’re gonna go and take time to fight over a parking spot accusing them of not LOOKING disabled 🤦🏼♂️ have you no compassion or no brain cells?!?!
That lady's got a lot of nerve sticking her arm into his car like that. Plus, she's a hypocrite... if she says she doesn't have to prove her disability, he shouldn't have to either. She just wants that exact spot. *shakes head
Honestly, if she really needed that spot, she wouldn't have done all that extra walking and standing around and harassing she did. I have a placard, but I only need it occasionally. Out of respect for others with disabilities, I will always take a regular spot if I can. Even if the disabled parking spots are empty and there's one next to them, I'll take that empty regular one even if I need a close parking spot that day because I can usually spare the extra couple steps whereas others may not. She doesn't want disabled people to be treated better, she wants herself and herself alone to be held up on a pedestal and catered too as if she's the most disabled of the invisibly disabled people and only one deserving of being seen as "really disabled."
I laughed my ass off at the woman who doesn't look disabled, and won't say how she's disabled, bitching at the man who she says doesn't look disabled, and is infuriated because he won't tell her how he's disabled. OMG! She's so self-involved she has no idea how ludicrous she is.
5:39 I used to work at Starbucks and let me tell you this. Mistakes do happen so if your drink if ever made wrong - you can simply come to the register and ask them to remake it. No need to cause the scene. And by the way , if someone is being trained making drinks to customers - it means that they already practiced how to do it on the side. Plus the trainer would never let them make the order wrong. And a lot of times customers order stuff like shaken espresso which comes with 2” of milk and expect it to look like a latte, which costs more cause there more product being used. So some customers don’t even know how they order should look and taste like
I love how the one woman was arguing about him not looking disabled after parking her car and walking over there to fuss at him about it. Whatever her disability was, it didn’t seem to be a problem for her to make more of a walk for herself by parking around the corner and walking to his car, and then if he had moved she would’ve had to walk back to hers so she could come and park there.
The first one is terrifying. Imagine someone like that accusing you of a committing a crime against them. People have died and lost years of their lives imprisoned because of that.
One of my fav stories with the whole 'you don't look disabled' bs was from Reddit. Basically, this one woman sat down calmly and politely, and took off her prosthetic leg. She then just gave a the Karen the 'look'. Apparently the Karen left very quickly.
9:51 as someone with an invisible disability this actually breaks my heart. That woman doesn’t have any right to ask him what his disability is. Acting like she’s the judge jury and executioner….I’ve seen cars without handicap placards … you know what I do? Mind my own business!!!!! I don’t know anyone’s circumstances. For her to do that while he actually has one…..what an awful person. 😢
as a disabled person, that old lady makes me so mad. she demands to know his disability but also refuses to say her disability. what a hypocrite. a lot of disabled people dont "look" disabled. i have rheumatoid arthritis my whole life. i don't look disabled, but I'm yelled at often because I'm so young.
Totally get your point bit I think in this clip, its even worse since he has a visible disability. The original video is longer and he shows, he is missing a leg. So its something you will be seeing at some point. But true, even then there are disabilities that arent visible and unless you have 100% valid proof that person is faking or just parking there without a disability, its not anyones place to judge who can park there or not. Wether someone has a disability thats easy to see or not, people should try not to be the saviour who brought justice to someone, when it wasnt needed and made everything worse.
People really gotta learn to mind their damn business. I am so sorry you have to deal with that at such a young age 😢 my grandma had RA from her teens on, and she was always in pain. I wish I could give you a hug.
Same! I’ve had people tell me that I can’t have RA because I’m not old enough… ok. Tell that to my dr and my immune system and maybe it will disappear!
My aunt was the 911 operator on the other end of that call in the first video 😂😂 I remember her telling us about it then seeing the video go viral. Happened a town over from where I’m from. The lady was kinda a frequent caller, has some mental issues. This person was just the first to catch her on video. Crazy world 💀
If I were Charlotte, I'd turn that "Mike!" Mike!" shriek into a ringtone so she'll instantly know it's him when he calls. Maybe keep it for a day and then change it. A little of that bellowing from that wounded water buffalo goes a long way!
“Why do they not leave?” They have no shame, absolutely none. They don’t care that they’re making a scene, they don’t care that they’re making an ass of themselves. They’re always right and they’re entitled to make large and unreasonable demands. It’s their world and we’re just living in it.
The last lady had me triggered. Some people can never be happy, and they have to complain about everything. I had a customer like this when i worked in a music store. Always tried to return everything she bought. And it wasn't just my store, it was everywhere in our town. She ended being banned in so many places. 🙄🤦♀️
It was clearly a dominance thing. She sounded so racist. She didn't say, "now that I see this color, it's not as pretty as I thought, could you redo them, please?" No, she went full-on Karen "redo them! I'm not leaving, redo them." S'cuse me, honey, but...what gives you the right to waste the time of people trying to make money. Just because you have the time-doesn't mean they gotta bend to your will.
We had one like that at a grocery store bakery I worked at. She must've ordered a full sheet cake for every event her family ever had because she was always there. We always knew every cake was a nasty demand for the manager, a remake, and her order comped. I have no idea why they kept letting her do this, but she ordered full sheets and never paid in the end. The worst of it was her acting like we needed to be fired, and making a cake twice for a lady who tried to get us fired so she could scam free cake. And the management allowed it. I was told the one time she couldn't get it free she "dropped" it (baker said it looked like it'd been stomped on) in the parking lot and got it remade in a rush order out of spite.
The disabled placard situation is my worst nightmare. I'm 28 and look perfectly healthy unless I'm limping that day, which isn't that often. I've heard so many stories like this that I'm nervous every time I park in a disabled spot that someone will call me out like this. Yay people!
I understand how you feel. I am disabled from a slip and fall incident last year. When I tore too many ligaments in my right knee, I don’t have a disability placard because I’m afraid to get one because of all these Karen’s. I understand how you feel.
My father had a heart transplant when I was a child. He often had to park in disabled spots because of his inability to walk long distances and push his heart after the surgery. Some batty old Karen got on his case when he and Mom were walking into the grocery store one day from the disabled parking spot. My mom began berating her, loudly and clearly so that EVERYONE in the parking lot could hear. She said that it was none of her business how disabled her husband was, but in case she was curious, his heart could give out if he so much as strains his chest. Then she essentially told the woman to go eff herself, lol. This was the parking lot for the army base commissary, and Mom and Dad were so well known there (they were big tippers to the baggers) that by the time they reached the door, one of the baggers had already grabbed a cart for them and eagerly asked them to find his line when they checked out. I heard this story second-hand, as at the time, I was staying in another state with a great aunt and uncle for the duration of Dad's transplant and recovery. But it made me laugh when Mom told me about the nosy lady who though she knew everything and everybody, and it was a good life lesson for me to not make assumptions about people at first glance, too.
I once parked in a disabled spot by accident. Comming back to the car I realise the disabLed sign is drawn in slighter darker grey instead of bright blue. Luckily there were 2other disabled spots next to it and both were empty, so I didn't take anyones spot it appears. I quickly drived away very embarassed.
@@rebny7801 I had the opposite problem. I was at my college and the parking lot had been recently repainted. There were two spots with visible bright blue emblems and curbs. One spot didn’t haven’t the emblem, but the curb was mistakenly painted blue. I parked there since it was the last spot available. On my birthday, I come out to a $300 ticket. I wrote an appeal and the ticket was dropped and the curb was painted gray the following week. You can always contest these things if it’s not clearly marked 😊
So I have a service dog and this type of harassment has happened to me a lot. I used to get so upset but I've just learned to try to have fun with these idiots. I like to tell people who say I don't look disabled or rudely ask why I need my service dog that I have an extremely rare condition where I crap myself without warning, but somehow my dog is able to detect that it's about to happen, and it gives me just a couple minutes to get to the toilet before I poop everywhere. I trained my dog to start nudging my hand when I give him a subtle que and then I very serious and urgently say "OMG, he's telling me. I have to go right now!" And then I waddle away with my butt clenched as fast as I possibly can with my dog looking so serious like he's on a mission (but I guess to him, this is very serious work, lmao.) I very thankfully don't have that specific disability (idk think it exists but if it does, my sincere apologies) but I have almost pissed myself laughing after doing it. Even the most rude people are usually taken off guard and intrigued (I truly believe that demographic greatly overlap with the most bored and miserable people, so they tend to go for the bait.) But I really don't care how they take it because it's fun for me instead of unpleasant. Always remember that these people are not entitled to being treated seriously. You are well within your rights to treat them with the equal amount of respect they approached you with. Honestly I think it's more respectful to just goof on someone as to be just as rude back, and it's better for your mental health. Just keep in mind your safety when doing so, as people are wild out there.
A quick note: in the UK (where the parking video was filmed), the "blue badge" scheme (aka disabled parking scheme) is administered by local authorities and some NHS Trusts. As a result, whilst it is a national scheme, because it is not administered by a central authority, some badges look different to others. That's just how it is. You qualify for a blue badge if you are unable to walk a specified distance (normally between 20 & 50m without needing to stop, dependent on your local authority) or if your mobility is impaired to the point where your medical specialist thinks that you need a blue badge. The disability for a blue badge is *always* mobility related, because the scheme essentially ensures that you can park closer to where you are going - that's all it does. If that woman was able to park up some distance away, walk round to the parking spot she wanted, stand and film, reach in to the car and argue, not require mobility aids or look unsteady or uncomfortable on her feet - and intends on walking back, parking there, and completing the errand she set out to do, instead of just going home because the lack of parking stops her from running her errand - she does not need that blue badge. And I say that as a doctor with decades of experience, who has written letters of recommendation for blue badges. If her local authority see this footage, her blue badge will be removed from her and, if she is receiving PIP (Personal Independence Payment - a state benefit often used by local authorities as "proof" of the impaired mobility required to qualify for a blue badge) then that will be removed from her, too, and she'll be prosecuted for benefit fraud. Not to mention the attempted theft of the gentleman's blue badge (along with associated charges from leaning into his vehicle like that)... As for the car adaptations, she clearly doesn't need any! Her legs work well enough to walk and she is not using a wheelchair. Besides, the man is seated in his car - how can she tell if he is paraplegic or an amputee, purely from looking at him sitting in a vehicle?! How can she even tell if the car has adaptations from outside of the vehicle (such as hand controls to replace pedals)? Not everyone has a wheelchair ramp - he might use crutches, a stick or cane, or a chair he transfers himself into (like my friend's dad does, who is a paraplegic). Or he might be an amputee, or suffer from severe fatigue or respiratory issues. She can't demand to know everything about him, whilst recognising that the same can not be asked of her. Atrocious behaviour! With possible racist undertones... I hope she is penalised for it, to the full extent of the law.
@@Ater_Draco What makes you say that? Besides, whether it is or isn't, this happens daily. I've had people harrass friends with blue badges while I've been in the vehicle with them and, living in a community with a lot of veterans, I have heard a lot of stories that mirror this one. One story from Plymouth, a garrison city here in the UK, made national news just a few months ago - when a decorated war hero and double amputee was told he didn't look "disabled enough" to use his blue badge. This happens - a lot.
@t-and-p it happens a lo, not in this case. 1) he's parked the wrong way in the entrance to the car area of a motorway services, as you can tell from the road markings. We all know there are no bays there, because a) you need the room to turn into the entrance if you're towing a caravan, and b) the disabled bays are the first row by the services main doors 2) At the end of the fuller clip he gets out and shows he's an amputee with only one leg. It's an overly long joke. It's been doing the rounds on socials for a few years
@@Ater_Draco Didn't realise there was a longer clip. I thought the set-up looked odd but, as we couldn't see the layout properly from that angle, I went with it, as they can see more than us (&, let's be honest, some carparks look like they were designed by non-driving 3 year olds! 😂). I can see why they made it, though, because people like her 100% exist and - particularly after Iraq and Afghanistan - we have a lot of amputees who are treated like dogsh-t because they dare to go the gym and not "look disabled". Joke or not, it relays a very good point 👍
I have a very bad back. You can’t see it but sometimes it’s all I can do to walk thru the store. I’ve gotten several comments about not looking disabled and I point out the hideous scars on my legs from post surgical staph infections. 😅 They don’t affect my walking but they are gnarly enough to silence the Karens.
I'm DYING at the absolute english snark of the man in the parking space telling her "okay, well done" when she pointed out it was a disabled parking spot. I have a disc prolapse, I usually use crutches or a cane currently. But otherwise I look young and "not disabled" (whatever ableist bs that means)... but they still gave me the blue badge because not everyone who is disabled looks a certain way or needs to be in a chair. My aunt has never used a chair but has incoordination due to brain surgery 20 years back. She still has a disabled parking badge. People are crazy entitled thinking they can police these things better than the government bodies in charge of them. The paperwork I had to file too literally hours and I had to provide so many forms of proof. They do not just hand those things out willynilly. Also... tbh the karen saying "and I paid for it" ma'am.. I filed in the UK. it costs 15£.. you paid the cost of like two cups of coffee if you really have one, which I am suspect of as you are standing there trying to argue with this man for so long.
As a disabled person myself, I've had the looks and rude comments because I "don't look disabled". I calmly tell them that their stupidity isn't a disability and to get out of my face.
Not the same, but similar. I'm hearing impaired and as a result of that, I speak louder than most people, because I can't hear how loud I am talking. I frequently have people telling me to "keep my voice down," "shush," "quiet down" etc. When I tell people the reason I am loud, they look at my ears and say "Why aren't you wearing a hearing aid then?" I should not have to use a device, to PROVE that I have a disability.
Sadly, probably far from the first time she's dealt with that. Seriously, there'd plenty I'd LIKE to do as an occupation, if it weren't for the ADULT PEOPLE involved 😂
I remember one class I had in grade school with 3 girls named Karen. Also a lot of Kathy/Cathyssss. I have a current friend named Karen who is the least Karen-y person I know.
Yeah, there’s a lovely greeter at the local Walmart named Karen. And a lot of people called Karens are clearly dealing with some kind of mental illness so I think they need a separate category. But I see why the name sticks to some folks… I’ve known some utterly despicable Karens, too.
2:29 there is an entire story. She's been harassing people leaving the park. He got pulled over after leaving and showed the cops the entire video. She was a gate employee.
Karen: "I'm disabled but I don't have to show you what it is" Also Karen: [pesters the man to tell her what kind of disability he has] Hypocrisy at its finest
@@BunnyQueen97 it's fake. It's been doing the rounds on socials for a long time. He's not even parked in a disabled bay. He's parked at the entrance to a motorway services
My husband is disabled & we have a handicapped placard. I don’t use it unless he is with me. I was at my in-laws & the have a placard. My BIL. & I went to the store, he parked in a handicapped spot & I asked "Why are you parking here?". He said that he has a placard. I said "Yea but that’s for handicapped people & your not handicapped.". The next place we went he parked in a regular spot. 😊
the answer to "why dont they just leave?" is rooted in the very definition of a 'Karen' they arent crazy. they are Entitled. the reason they dont run away or leave. is because they feel like they are 100% in the right. they think they (often as nothing more than a "paying customer" ) are entitled to Anything they want, because they have been "wronged"
They also think the police will always side with them, which is partially entitlement, and partially because U.S. police were originally formed to catch and bring back slaves for women like this and their slave-owning husbands. Any time BIPOC person is involved, you can bet that the racist Karens are gonna try to sick the cops on them. They believe that the cops will believe them over a BIPOC any day, and sadly that is often the case here.
I went thru a Timmies drive thru recently. When I got to the window to pay and get my order, I was just being myself. The young girl says to me "thank you so much for your smile and kindness. A lot of ppl either just grunt or don't even acknowledge us" I was mortified for her! How dare ppl be rude like that! Have we forgotten just how much a smile and a thank you means to ppl? Uhg 🙄🇨🇦
At the deli counter at a nearby grocery store a woman told us we were the nicest people she had all day simply because we said please and thank you. That just made me sad.
In the British railway, there’s posters put up asking people to be nice to railway workers and it’s the saddest thing in my opinion! I don’t get how people will be rude to people just doing their jobs.
One time after a big storm I brought a bouquet of daisies for the workers at my local Dunkin Donuts as a thank you for keeping work crews and first responders running, and they all wore one of the daisies pinned to their apron or hat for the rest of the week. Retails folks don't get enough appreciation.
@@izribeiroxMy local emergency room in the states has plaques on the wall that say that in that state it's illegal to assault hospital staff and lists the law number. That one made me sad, and when my nurses said that if I didn't yell at them, punch, kick, or bite them then they didn't care what I did. I apologized for falling asleep and snoring loudly when getting a migraine treatment. IV Benedryl (antihistamine) is given, and if you think the tablets knock you out whooo buddy! Nobody prepares/warns you for the iv version, and each time it still catches me off guard.😅 To think that staff in A&E are being assaulted, probably daily, just makes me so sad.
I once had a lovely young woman on my team. She had a disabled badge, because all her lower vertebra were fused. She rarely used the disabled space because she was kind enough to leave it for people who needed it more. One day when she did use it, I had someone calling my team saying that the girl 'didn't look disabled". It is so sad when people aggressively judge on appearances.
So the majority of my spine is fused, and there have been times when my back hurts enough that I wish I had a disabled placcard. But even if I did I'd probably be the same way, and leave the space open. Heck, I even feel guilty when I use the handicap stall, even though I'm doing it because I know full well the regular toilets are too low for me to get off of.
My Dad's the same, even had a morphine pump, he's also British and doesn't like confrontation. So to avoid such instances he would ride along and/or send one of me or my siblings to get him things, parking in a normal spot, then go himself. He says it's not worth the pain to go himself if they are going to be like that@@BreeS-zd5rx
@@BreeS-zd5rxI have the same problem too and also have Parkinson’s Disease which can cause problems some days worse than others. I have been told by some people that I don’t look disabled and should park elsewhere.☹️
My 79 yo just had surgery and she had to use the bathroom. It was cataract surgery so she couldn't see. I park in the handicap spot despite not having a placard. ( my mom is not normally handicapped) In front of security. They see me helping my mother so not one word was said by anyone. Thank God. A cop also came in the store. I'm glad some people have common sense regarding this. Technically I shouldn't have been able to park there. Kudos to no Karens in Fargo, ND!
My daughter and I had our order skipped due to a system glitch. Me being a people pleaser didn't say anything until the manager asked us what the order was...30min later. They offered a refund, which I declined. So they gave us extra food. My daughter thought it was the best day ever because we got so many chicken nuggets. I wasn't expecting anything so it was a nice surprise.
I have had a similar conversation not rude but confused at Starbucks when my cup was half full when normally it would be full. I normally order in the app. They were so sweet and explained to me what I did when I ordered and yes it was MY mistake. I learned something and we had a good laugh and they did help me with my coffee. 🤣😂
Plus most Starbucks employees can tell when a drink is not actually made correctly. The customer gets this confused puppy look on their face like they're not sure what happened. (Happened to me. They accidently put in soy milk in my chai, which gives it this lemony taste like the milk has gone off. )
I got a Swiss mushrooms cheese burger once that they forgot to put the patty on. Very weird experience on that first bite. I brought it up, they said oops and fixed it. Mistakes happen. They usually aren't that big of a deal and that one was kind of funny.
The irony of the disabled Karen saying he doesn't look disabled, then claiming that you can't see her disability is ASTOUNDING. I would have been asking what her disability was and that I don't believe her. I also hope he pressed charges against her for attempted theft and entering his property without permission.
Parking Karen REALLY has the gall to say 'I don't have to show you anything to prove my disability' and then DEMANDS THIS GUY SHOW HER PROOF OF HIS DISABILITY. And she doesn't even clock the hypocrisy!! Doesn't even occur to her!! I can't IMAGINE having that audacity!!
To put into context the first clip was a Karen that was assigned at the gate of a public park. The guy filming made a wrong turn and ended up here. He was going to enter, turn around and leave, but Karen said no. Apparently she's done this so many times that the park rangers shown in the video were used to it. There have been many complaints about her, (mostly to do with her terrible racism) but nothing was done. Once this video went viral they finally took her out of public service. Seems they couldn't bring themselves to fire her so they put her out of sight. The Karen that was harping on about the disabled parking makes me crazy. She has already parked and walked over to this guy. If she's able to do that and then stand there and argue, why doesn't she just get on with her business? She's already overcome the obstacle of parking. So what's the problem? I have a disabled placard but more often than not the handicapped parking spaces are already taken. Just suck it up and walk a little further or go somewhere else. When I must be somewhere and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to walk far I'll have someone take me who can drop me off at the door.
i heard she was charged with an illegal detainment. obviously lying while on the phone too..."hes still moving" while she knew she was recorded...lmao.
the disabled space thing always makes me angry, firstly, not all disabled people driver modified or obviously modified cars, for instance my sister in law drives a bigger car because it makes it easier for her to get in and out, a cousin has a car who's seats swivel to allow easier access. i've been questioned when in a disabled space because i don't look disabled - when i'm there trying to get out of the car with someone's help AND my cane. on bad days i have to use my wheelie chair and i still get looks - i think if you are younger than 70 a lot of people think you can't possibly need that space and are just faking a disability.
@18:27: “And I ran, I ran so far away…I just ran, I ran all night and day… I couldn’t get away” 🤣🤣🤣 bahahahaha that is the ONLY thing that ran through my mind at that part. SOOOOO RELATABLE THOUGH
I think the reason Karens never leave is that deep down inside they know what they're doing is wrong but they have too much pride to just walk away. They dont want to admit it.
"If somebody bites you don't forget to bite back" - Charlotte 😂 . Calling someone racial slurs just because he gave you mean looks (at least in your opinion ) sadly is a remnant of earlier times where people were killed on mere accusations because of them being a different color or race . That woman is not a normal Karen , an insidious darker human being who glories in others misery .
The disabled parking thing happens all the time. I've actually had my cane kicked out from under me because the woman insisted that I was far too young to need it and I was clearly faking. I was in my late 30's at the time. Didn't matter that I had the placard, didn't matter that I had to walk very slowly using my cane for support. To her I was just a big faker too lazy to walk up from the larger part of the parking lot. I have had variations on that theme for more than ten years now and it's getting old. 😒
I wish I HAD called police, but at the time I didn't have a cell phone yet and I was very non-confrontational thanks to the abuse I was raised in. In short, the woman terrified me and it was a guy in the parking lot who made her go away and leave me alone, not me.
The 'disabled' Karen also does not seem to be disabled but needs the spot for her car which is no where in sight. Close your eyes and really imagine the life of that Karen that she would take time to do this. How small and sad must her life be that this is where she has ended up.
In the first story, DO NOT LEAVE that situation until the police show up and you can show them the video of what happened. Once they say you can leave, then leave. You don't want the police to only hear one side of story where part of the story is that you fled the scene even though you did nothing wrong. If you needed to get somewhere other than an airport to make it to your family member's wedding, they'll understand why you were late.
As a learner driver I had someone come up to me to tell me off for parking in the disabled spot while I was getting shopping bags out of the car. She got quiet real quick when mum came around the back of the car to find out what was going on, using her walking sticks. Woman got quiet real quick.
@@Tequila3075 I understand the frustration, but I would not approach to say anything unless I saw no sticker. Even then probably wouldn’t approach. Not all disability is visible.
As an ambulant disabled person with a blue badge, I have had this. I use a wheelchair when I am on my feet for more then a few minutes or I use crutches, I don’t look disabled and I don’t have adaptions in my car - doesn’t mean I don’t need the blue badge! Makes me so mad! Xx
You can’t win when it comes to “you don’t look disabled”. If you show them without saying another word and humoring their BS. “You didn’t have to be rude about it” And if you try to defend yourself they go on a rant none stop 😂
I feel saddened of the stories where people feel they have to "prove" their disabilities to these entitled crap human beings. You already proved your disability to the people who matter, your doctors and the people who authorized your permit. Don't enable Karens and give them the feeling like they were justified in asking by acquiescing by proving it to them, they'll likely continue doing it to others regardless but knock them down a peg by putting them on ignore, basically.
You can’t win any argument with entitled/narcissistic people. They will just keep changing the blame from something to another forever. The best solution is to record them so they cannot gaslight you.
I worked at Starbucks in LA for two and a half years. They did not pay us enough for the B.S we had to deal with. The entitlement of some of the customers was wild. I had a man scream in my face over a frapuccino. He had a full on toddler meltdown and started swearing at me and threatening to call corporate. He demanded a refund, which he got swiftly. I was a shift manager at the time, and had zero patience for disrespect. The angrier he got the calmer and unphased I was. He ended up looking like a complete fool.
omg, the handicap parking spot one made me so mad. This Karen really said "You don't look disabled" then said "I have a disability but you can't see it" Like girl you can't have it both ways. Not to mention this also mad me mad because I grew up with chronic pain, and I had so many people accuse me of faking my disability just because they couldn't see it. Like just mind your own business nobody should have to prove their disabilities to people who don't need to know. Like this karen.
The thing with being "looked at"... we have no control over what other people do/ say, but we have control over how we react. For her to insult someone with racist remarks because of a "look" is a reflection of someone with no self control, of any kind.
Storytime: I was flying to Washington DC and the TSA agent decided to completely wreck my suitcase. He took everything out and just shoved it back in. When he went through my toiletries he found my can of "itchiness" spray. He held it up and said out loud, "This can of "itchiness" spray is too full." In a blatent attempt to embarrass me. He does this while my wife and I are trying to refold everything in out suitcase. I just looked at him at that point and said, "That's okay, I had my balls all over that today and they are fine now." I gave him a BIG grin. He tossed it back into the bag and stormed off...apparently to wash his hands because he didn't have gloves on.
Charlotte you are my current favourite person on the internet, I love your videos soooo much. I usually hate commenting and I fast forward just so I can see the video, but with you I don’t care what you watch, I love watching you so much 😂😂😂😂😂 you make me laugh sooo hard and it’s just icing on the cake that you’re Canadian. ❤❤❤❤❤ don’t change girl you’re so great!!
I know someone young and gorgeous who tries to recover from a car accident by lots of exercises and wears lots of athletic wear, and no one believes that she has a metal hip. She also gives way for people who are more severely disabled than she is.
8:25 No, because this woman just told him he "doesn't look disabled" and yet she is walking around telling him that she is disabled and needs to park there...girl you don't look disabled either so who're you to say he isn't disabled, hello???
my mom used to look at people in disabled parking spots and say "they don't look disabled." the tldr is I finally got the courage to say something to her about it and I haven't heard her say it again to this day.
@@jessicaconner1242 unfortunately at this point I can't remember, but I think I said something about how disabled doesn't have a look. plus other stuff but it was more than 5 years ago and my memory is awful lol.
At least you got the point across to your mom to not say those things because you're right, A LOT of disabilities DON'T look a certain way, but they can still cause issues for people. Hope your mom just minds her business now
@@NekoKuro-il8rz I think she still gets frustrated when she can't get a disabled parking spot since she has a hard time walking, but she doesn't accuse them of faking it anymore. so for that, I'm grateful. she's not entirely unreasonable thankfully lol.
Charlotte, I love every single one of your videos!(from every topic) I look forward to watching them every single time I have a chance! when my daughters napping lol!(ive recently became a mother in the Fall last year). You have made a huge impact on my life! Thank you Charlotte Dobre!, for times youve always been there for me!, when life and ppl have been crappie! ❤
I ordered starbucks through the drive-thru got on the road took a drink and it was so bitter (Carmel frappe). Went back inside the store and politely told them there was a problem they fixed it and we all moved on about our day. Funny how far a little kindness goes.
I’m convinced Karen’s think they’re the only people on earth. Like they have no consideration for the fact others exist and have to face consequences for their actions
The ones on camera were Karens for sure but some of the people operating the cameras were Karens or Kens too. I'm starting to see that some of the people posting these videos are provoking situations & being drama queens themselves. And a lot of Karen videos seem to be staged now. I'm pretty sure the disabled parking one & the manicure one were stage. On that last one, the customer wasn't that good an actress & that gave it away for me.
They don’t truly think that, but they will act entitled and make sure to intimidate you to give in to their entitlement. It’s dangerous really because being yelled at with insults and accusations dose make us feel bad, but if we do it to them they will act as the victim. Thank god we live with self phones to protect our selves from their lies.
" Not every disability is visible", then proceeds to say he doesn't look like he's disabled. "I don't have to tell tou what my disability is", then proceeds to ask him what kind of disability he has. She is SOOO paradoxal it is giving me serious anxiety......
I have gotten many a manicure where the color on my nails was not quite how I thought it would look (sometimes the sample colors look a bit brighter or lighter on than they do on nails). But if I really HATED the color, I stopped them after the first nail or two and said "On 2nd thought I don't like this, can I choose something else?" Otherwise if they were finished and I wasn't thrilled I would simply thank them, pay, tip a decent but not stellar amount, and leave.
I also have a handicapped placard for my car. I was parked there, had gotten my groceries, put them into the back of the vehicle and was taking the cart back to the cart corral. This woman, Karen, stopped and said to me "you don't look disabled". For once I was quick thinking and said "well you don't look stupid either but here we are". She stood there dumbfounded, I got into my vehicle and drove away.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
More disabled than him? She parked around the corner, walked to his car, even if he left, she would have to walk all the way back around the corner to get her car and drive back. There could be someone else in that spot by the time she drove back. Just go shopping, lady.
😂 I wish I could think that quickly! Amazing
I had the same thing happen to me with my Mom. The look on their faces when they get served. 🙆🏽♀️🤣😂👍🏽
haha you're awesome!
The "MIKE!!" story: She was a gate attendant at Cedar Breaks Park in Georgetown, Texas. The OP in the car accidently went the wrong way down to the wrong exit. He started to pull back out, to find the right exit, when the Karen stood in front of his vehicle so he couldn't leave. The Karen later got fired for illegally detaining him.
The Disabled parking badge story: This went viral a while ago. The OP showed at the end of the video, this has been cut short, that he only had one leg.
everyone upvote this !!!
Thank you for the info!
Thank you so much! Saved me the time of looking it up.
Looked like a COE entrance.
Thanks!
Everytime someone says 'you don't look disabled' I respond with 'what does disabled look like?' Since they're the authority on it apparently.
So do I. I dont look disabled, I just look overweight but people don't know.
The disabled video was a set up 😅. I love your facial expressions 🥰
That's like 'you don't sound sick' when you have stomach troubles.
"You don't look disabled. I don't need to show my disability. What is your disability? You HAVE to tell me."
Thought that one was so fake 🙄🤦♀️
As a very young Disabled person, I agree with this man. Too many people question my permanent handicap placard. Just cause you can't see my disability and I don't use my mobility aid every day doesn't mean I'm any less disabled. I love you Charlotte
Same, I have really bad back issues that have needed multiple surgeries to sorta fix. I'm under 30 and some days are better than others but for a year I was using mobility aids to get around. The looks I got and the judgemental comments from people like 'you don't look disabled '. It just gets to you after a while but I shouldn't have to justify using mobility aids when I can barely walk more than 10 steps without falling over.
I'm currently doing better but even without my personal experience I wouldn't look at someone who's young and assume they can't be disabled. It's just mad.
Same this exact thing has happened to me in a store and I just casually dislocated my shoulder (I have Ellers Danlos syndrome so I can do it pretty easily even if it is painful) to “prove” my disability and the guy who was yelling at me was so embarrassed lmao
They do not hand out those placards upon request. It takes serious health needs to get approved. My mom has a significant ortho disability that is extremely rare (her legs are two completely different lengths, 6 inches apart) but she could walk semi-unassisted (she did better with an arm than a cane) when she was still driving. She got a placard in our home town where our doctor knew her personally & that she really was walking too much for someone who is just fully missing a hip on one side, but she’s too proud & independent. When they retired to the biggest city in our state, my mom learned that she didn’t technically qualify according to the new doc, but they can’t take it away if your health hasn’t improved. Despite her walking independently, lol, no one ever questioned her status, but a shoe with a 6 inch lift is startling & kept most people quiet. My fave was when people would recognize her from high school (40-50 yrs earlier) & pretend that they just always would recognize her face, not her enormous shoe. Her disability can now be corrected in infancy, so yay for progress, that’s why you rarely see really big lifts on shoes anymore. One of my students’ kids had her leg grown out to the right size before she was 2 (it hurts but prevents pain later, same tech as jaw widening) & and artificial hip joint installed in her toddler years!
Speaking of people who don’t “look disabled, “ that lady seemed to have no problem standing, walking, moving extremities etc.
She can walk, she can park one space away. My mother is a triplegic and she needs handicap parking so I can physically lift her in and out of her wheelchair. You cannot do that in regular size spaces. People always park on the loading zone lines (like motorcycles) and people who can walk one more space over hog the spots. I can walk but I could be waiting for my mom in the doctor’s office for her MRI and whatnot. A lady in a giant truck sat there waiting behind my Camaro as I sat outside taking a cigarette break telling me I had no right to be there instead of just parking next to us in the non handicap spot. I told her, “oh yes one moment!” and went to get my mom in her wheelchair and let her watch me lift my mom like a child with all her 150 pounds of dead weight, buckle her in, load up her wheelchair in my trunk, and slowly back out. I then waited and watched her with my mom and she and her husband hopped out of their giant truck. My mom used her only working limb and tried to flip them off but couldn’t utilize her fingers properly so she shook her fist at them instead LOL (she can’t speak anymore either because of her brain damage). So I said, “YEA MAMA! YOU TELL ‘EM! FOR SHAME! SHAAAAAME!!!” Haha it was a great time for us 😂
I like how she said you can’t see her disability, yet still questioned why HE doesn’t LOOK disabled! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I have 3 autoimmune disorders and a heart condition, mine are all invisible!
Ahhh…the trifecta! Lol me too, love. Blessings to you 💖
Not heart for me but my autoimmune disorders that are invisible
Another autoimmune disease sufferer here. They suck sooooo hard. I can also tell you the day before it rains b/c of my migraines, it's like the world's worst spidey sense.😂
One of my problems is my kidneys. Karen gonna need a knife to see THAT disability!
@Just1Nora seriously though! After test after test they can hardly see my disability unless I'm cut open 🙃 I must be fine though! Karen there sounded like the old medical team that didn't want to figure out the actual issue 🙄
Same here, I have spinal injuries and I literally look like I ate a shit sandwich 🥪 in pics when I’m just hurting really bad and trying to smile 🤣
That first Karen screaming, "MIKE, MIKE, MIKE!!!" should be Charlotte's new ringtone for Mike. 😂🤣
“You’re receiving a call from MIKE MIKE MIKE MIKE PLEASE HURRY UP MIKE MIKE MIKE”
OMG yes!
Should be Mike's ringing for Charlotte. Lol. So everytime she calls, he hears MIKE! MIKE! HURRY!
Or all the way around
@@jmev.4732 Charlotte would HAVE to record her own voice for Mike's ringtone. 😂
Tim Hortons charged me the wrong drink, i just told them what i wanted and it was like 1 dollar less, they wanted to refund me and i told them to keep it as a tip. She made the drink i wanted and the manager gave me a donut because i was nice. No need to scream at people.
I was just in a Timmy's here (Montréal) 2 days ago with a Karen. She walks in and goes directly to the pick up side instead of waiting in the long line (extremely busy). In a pissy voice says to the young, timid employee that she was in YESTERDAY and the guy made her drink wrong and she wants a new free one today!! The girl is a little confused and clearly is taken aback. Karen continues snarkly saying (voice rising) that she is a customer here and comes in all of the time and orders this particular drink and wants a new one. Along with describing the employee that made it wrong and how great of a customer she is. The poor girl looks as if she about to cry so she just quickly makes her a new one.
Being nice is like a fast pass at Disneyland. Be nice, tip well, be grateful.
Reminds me of when my and my sister first visited Disney World (we’re European) and one of the rides was down at EPCOT and we were like “oh that’s ok we’ll come back later!”
We came back later and still the same issue. “That’s ok. These things happen!”
The guy working there said “you guys are definitely not from around here. You’re way too laid back”
That honestly made me a bit sad. Where’s the human decency and kindness?
I was in drive thru at Starbucks & they accidently put caramel on my frapp instead of mocha (I don't like caramel), but I didn't get mad. I just parked & went inside, nicely told the barista what my original order was. I felt bad enough bc I hate returning stuff, but he was nice bc I was nice & he replaced my drink. They typically throw the drinks away so I gave the wrong one to my husband lol
@@lucialovecraft I will never understand why people get angry and yell at the employee at rides in amusement parks when a ride isn't working. As if that employee has any control of a ride not working! They WANT the rides to work properly all of the time so they don't have to deal with rude and unkind guests.
Same goes with being angry at a server because the food isn't cooked to their liking. They didn't cook the food.
The patience of the nail tech even holding her hand kindly and didn’t even squeeze it. lol.
Id say ok i will redo them... remove the polish and tell her where she can stick them
The fact that she didn’t tell her “yep, that’s a good spot to sit and wait for the cops. No, just sit right there hon, they’ll get here to sort this out soon.” 😂😂😂 she’s a saint
My husband and I went to see a movie. We parked in the handicap spot, I have a placard for chronic rheumatoid arthritis. Everyone in line looked at me when this young man said, "you don’t look handicapped to me!" I said, "thank you, I’ll take that as a compliment". That ended that!
Good response
That's so debilitating. I'm sorry it happened. But as someone who has had two open brain surgeries & a lot of metal in my head, I hear that a lot😊
Perfect response :)
My mom too! She has chronic rheumatoid arthritis that she takes steroids and all kinds of other stuff for. She can't grip stuff, she can barely grip the steering wheel when she drives. She got approved for and started using a handicapped placard a few years ago. No one's ever given her a rough time about it at least not that I know of.
Good one ! 😁♥️
Mike ain’t stupid. He heard that and was like “Nope! Not today!” 😉😂🤣
Mike knew what he was doing
Plot twist, there is no Mike.
@@tamarak9393 Second plot twist, she's actually asking for a microphone so she can scream nonsense through a P.A. system.

God that one about the disabled parking reminded me of my former MIL
She had her foot amputated due to a medical condition and used a prosthetic. This one day she had parked in the disabled parking at the grocery store and as we were getting out this lady rocked up in her van and started shouting and arguing that my MIL couldn't park there, she was taking away parking for disabled persons and she didnt look disabled. We had that same argument about "well whats your disability if you're disabled?" and my MIL just had enough and reaches down and throws her foot at the woman. Just the whole ass prosthetic foot.
I died laughing and the Karen quickly drove away.
Perfect response
Love this haha
Grandma’s a G!
I know someone who did the same thing with a prosthetic arm 😂
Damn that's iconic 😂
The Starbucks story reminds me of when I went to Subway recently. The young man serving me was a trainee and he did absolutely great; perfect portions of everything.
When it came to the sauce, they’d just run out of the sauce I wanted so I chose another sauce. He grabbed the bottle..and got about two squirts out of it.
He offered to run out back and get more but I assured him it was enough.He kept apologising when he was charging me and and I kept saying it wasn’t his fault. We both wishes each other a great day.
Kindness costs nothing 💕
The absolute hypocrisy of that English woman, “oh I have a disability and I don’t have to show you and you don’t look disabled” and “I don’t have to show you”but her demand for him to show her just wow
It’s a skit- creator makes them all the time but as a disabled person myself, I’d of thrown hands if someone spoke to me like this
@@Tayl0r_ absolutely agree with you- surely it takes a second or 2 to check x
It's a fake video
I love the “IF I believe it’s real then I will apologize.” 😂
@@Tayl0r_ why does it matter if it's real or fake tho? It's not like it's any life altering content like medical advice or something. It's just for entertainment, isn't it??
1) he should’ve started to roll up the window when she reached her arm in
2) i love how she says her disability is invisible but still valid while screaming that he doesn’t look disabled oml
no.1 could have broken the window. if the window falls off the mechanism u need to pretty much open the whole door to put it back on rails..
my thoughts EXACTLY! tell me your disability, karen! oh, you don’t like that? don’t do it to him!
She may be on disability, but that doesn't mean her disability is the physical kind that they give the placards for...
That was infuriating
That was acted…
On the disabled parking thing: I had a friend of the family who was a military vet, got his leg blown off, used a prosthetic. He was sitting in his car, getting ready to go into a store (In the disabled spot, yes he had a placard) and a lady came up and was very much like the lady in the vid. So This military vet, gets out of the car, pulls his pant leg up to show his prosthetic and just goes "Disabled enough for you?"
Don't know why years later that still makes me laugh.
Wish he'd thrown it at her ❤
@@intothemindshaft fr. Maybe bonked her with it a few times
@@intothemindshaft lmao, yes. I'm all for responding to bigotry with violence whenever possible.
Reminds me of the time I was at a party, chatting with a really cute guy, a guitar picker who went by the nickname "Blue", and we were hitting it off pretty well. He asked me if I could bring him back a beer since I was going to get one for myself, and like a jerk I said, "You've got two good legs, get it yourself!" I was horrified when he pulled his pant leg up to show his prosthetic.
His leg was amputated above the knee! I couldn't apologize enough, and the rest of the night I was asking him if he needed anything from the kitchen.
I deserved humiliation for saying such a stupid thing, but he was so sweet we even dated for a few months after that.
I told my dad about my gaffe and he made a pun, "Looks like you have "hoof in mouth" disease!".
There's a real disease called "hoof and mouth", common with cattle. I just googled it, and now I'm laughing all over again! I never knew the scientific name for the virus that causes this disease... I kid you not, it's called "Coxsackievirus"! 🤣
Yeah, I acted like a total Coxsackie that night.
I have a friend who is also a veteran and has a prosthetic arm and a prosthetic leg, thanks to an IED. He parked locally, in a garrison town, and put his badge on display. He came back to a parking warden and a Karen standing around his vehicle because "he didn't look disabled". That man nearly died for our country - what have they done?! Personally, I would have done what your friend did (& possibly slapped them with it...), but he didn't because "I'm not reliving the worst day of my life for these clowns", which is understandable.
Particularly in the UK, you can only get a blue badge (disabled parking badge) if you have proven your disability to the relevant authorities. Karens do not get to decide who is "disabled enough" and they certainly don't get to override medical professionals who actually know the patients history and have deemed them as needing assistance.
I love it when you yell, "How are you not embarrassssed!?". It kills me everytime!😂😂😂
The sad thing about the disabled parking thing, is that happens all the time because old disabled people refuse to believe that a young person can be disabled. I’ve seen it happen, I’m disabled, my mom is disabled, and a lot of my family is disabled. It’s insane the entitlement I see from older people in the disabled community.
Its really sad, both me and my father are disabled, but neither of us have missing limbs. We just deal with daily chronic pain, fatigue and other symptoms. People are so ignorant about disabilities even today.
100% this, a TON of older people fall into what I consider a sort of death of spirit and potential, long before their physical death, where they allow their minds to stagnate and viciously refuse to try to continue learning and growing.
It happens to tons of young people too. I think we just recognize it in older people the easiest because people who've "stagnated" (for lack of a better term) long ago haven't changed much from what their parents and society first taught them, and since the beliefs they had when they stopped growing were the longest ago, they're usually some of the most ignorant when compared to what we know today. If you're old enough, we all know somebody our age who is no different today or even worse than they were as an ignorant, bigoted teenager. I believe it can happen to anyone who lets it happen, but we not only notice it easier in longest stagnated people but also socially ACCEPT it, which blows my mind to no end. People will say "He's just old and stuck in his ways. He's from a different time." as if that's an excuse rather than an admission of the person failing to work on themselves for a lifetime. Age is no excuse for bigotry.
My mom always tells me, "Well, you've got two good legs!" Compared to her, yeah, but she also knows I have dealt with chronic pain since I was a teenager, so more than half my life...
I reckon that was acted…
@@EH23831I do, too, because I saw almost the exact same video yesterday in the exact same spot, same male voice, but a different woman. She was saying almost the exact same things about him, his car, and herself.
I had a friend who had surgery on her foot and they gave her a placard. I took her grocery shopping and parked in one of the many open handicap spaces. I step out and start opening the back door to get my friends crutches and this woman starts yelling at us. How awful kids are these days and how those are reserved spots. I just look at her pull out the crutches. She runs off without an apology.
My mother and I were at a charity shop. We were parked in a disabled parking space. I am overweight and not disabled. I am an adult. I came out and walked to the car to put the shopping in. I am strong and walk fast.
A disabled woman and her mother were waiting and I got yelled at and flipped off and so on because I "Took their spot." And didn't need it. I just waited as my mother slowly walked over with her walked and I handed her the keys and began folding up her walker as she got into the drivers seat.
same happened when I drove the mother of a friend (no crutches but a wheelchair), but without the apology part xD
@@monkimallow and that’s why if I ever borrow my mom’s car I take her placard down when I park so no one assumes I’m trying to use it even though I’m not in a disabled spot. And then out it back up for her when I get home
I’m Autistic (and no, that doesn’t get me a placard, for once my hidden disability isn’t an issue, I much prefer parking further back where it’s more open!) and in my younger days I struggled even more with social interaction than I do now. It got me into trouble at times, because I genuinely just didn’t get why you shouldn’t say certain things out loud.
And what I’ve learned over the years as I worked my way up to a reasonable level of proficiency in basic interaction is this… there are people out there who think of themselves as being really good people, nice, kind to animals, tactful and polite. They commit no crimes, they give to charity, and this is key… they only let their anger out at people who deserve it.
And dayum, do they look for chances to do that! They give you a compliment, you’d better thank them. They bless you when you sneeze, you’d better thank them. They do literally anything for you, you’d better thank them.
If you don’t respond at exactly the same level of kindness and politeness as they expect, if you don’t look them in the eye, if you don’t realize there’s an expectation that they think literally everyone just knows… these “nice” people assume it was deliberate, that there’s no excuse, that you are in the wrong, and that you deserve whatever you get.
In short, as with anyone they think is abusing the handicapped parking, they have found someone who “deserves” it and they pounce like a cat on an unattended filet-o-fish.
They’re so kind and charitable, until they think you don’t deserve their precious and apparently limited kindness. So best believe they’ve hit the jackpot if they think you don’t deserve that parking space. It really shows how people are on the inside. Some people feel that kindness is an exhaustible resource, and has to be portioned out carefully and only to those who deserve it.
@@breannaflores4175 I don't drive xD She does
I love how disabled parking spot karen's whole argument was "You don't look disabled so you must reveal your personal, private information to me about your disability and then prove it so that you can park here" yet when he turns the same question on her, she says "I don't need to prove my disability to you". Like, what's the difference between them? lol. And news flash, not all disabled parking badges look *EXACTLY* the same, Karen.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
She doesnt look disabled either but she demands personal info from that man… THE AUDACITY
Think this one is made up
@@jintyc9133 Eh, I've heard of even stupider things that were real, so stupid that I'm making stupider a word now.
Disabled parking is a sticking point for me because my late wife was permanently disabled (muscular dystrophy) but that doesn't mean I'm going to confront everyone I see parking in disabled parking spots. Lots of people have the placards that hang on the rear view mirror and sometimes people who have them forget them at home or leave them in their other vehicles.
Your face Charlotte, when the woman was confronting the gentleman who was already in the disabled parking space, was absolutely priceless. 😆
So, the lady doesn’t need to look disabled, but the man needs to? Makes perfect sense. 😂
Logic isn’t part of the Karen repertoire
If it was they wouldn’t be Karen’s
I was thinking what is she on about because she doesn't look disabled either, I know people with blue badges and they don't look disabled but they are legally entitled to them, he could been there with his nan who was picking up her medication while he waits in the car and it's her badge which would be completely legal as the badge holder just needs to be a passenger and not the driver, some people really are stupid, and she has no legal right to demand to see the badge, I would told her to get the cops there and put up my window, and reaching into the car like that really annoyed me, if someone did that to me their arm wouldn't leave the car the same way it entered
What bothers me is that she made clear verbally that she was disabled, but he wasn't allowed to ask any questions, yet she was allowed to grill him... And, here in the UK, disabled parking badges ("blue badges") are given for mobility issues only. If she was able to park some distance away and walk over, stand and film, argue and twist herself to reach into his car like that, without showing a hint of physical discomfort, then she does not qualify for the blue badge scheme.
He, on the other hand, didn't get out of the car, so we have no idea what his disability may be or (as @edwardfabbrucci3437 rightly said, he could easily be waiting on someone else). From where she was standing, she would have no idea if the car had any adaptations other than a rear access wheelchair ramp (she wouldn't know if it had hand controls, for example, if he was paraplegic).
I hope he gets something like her reg plate or calls the police and finds out who she is, because:
1) Her local authority will be taking that blue badge back from her, based on that video;
2) She could probably face criminal charges for the way she harassed him and leant into his car;
3) If she's claiming any disability benefits for impaired mobility (PIP, for example, is often a requirement for a blue badge), then she's about to have that stopped and find herself in court for benefit fraud.
And she'll deserve every last bit of karma that finds her.
She's also incredibly lucky that the dude she picked on was calm... I treat quite a few blue badge holders who are veterans and, if she'd put her arm into one of their cars like that, it would no longer have been attached by the time it left the vehicle...
According to her, his CAR didn't look disabled! It's too big, and doesn't have those adapter things.
exactly!! if she parked around the corner and she's standing?? the tag doesn't entitle her.
If someone harasses you about a disabled parking spot, just call the authorities. Nobody has the right to harass you, especially when they try to steal your friggin’ badge.
It's a fake video. That lady does all sorts of Karen videos.
In my state, if you're illegally in a handicapped spot and someone with proper handicapped credentials wants the space, they can get the police to tow it. Heck, I think the police can tow the car even without a complainant.
for eel . and if they ask for proof you have a disability , it’s a violation of the HIPPA law , and you’d have a strong argument against them if they contact police .
@@macpro75 Of course police can tow illegally parked cars without a separate complaint. Handicap stickers are issued by the county/city govt and are enforced by their police agencies. But, it's usually brought to the police's attention due to a complaint because police are busy with other duties. Some cities have parking patrols, where that's all they do, look for vehicles that violate parking laws and regulations.
@@rootintootincowboyc It's HIPAA, not HIPPA. And HIPAA laws have nothing to do with this situation. 🙄 www.cdc.gov/phlp/publications/topic/hipaa.html
I’ve had a bone marrow transplant, open heart surgery, 24 years of monthly blood transfusion.. I had a disability badge.. the amount of people who questioned me! It was uncomfortable for all. One man sat on my bonnet! I fully popped open my shirt to show him fresh open heart surgery scar and a tube still in my chest.. my mum was like I told you not to get in to it with her 😂 I have no shame.. f around and find out.
That's what you do. Don't argue, just show if you can. I don't have any physical disabilities, but I did encounter something slightly similar during restrictions. For context, I have asthma. I worked in a restaurant and I was wearing a mask as we were supposed to. This particular day, I was a good 8ft. from the register and about 10ft. from my coworkers, so I pulled down my mask to take a sip of water and breathe some fresh air for a second. I guess I didn't put my mask back up fast enough for this particular lady who just decided to have a fit that I had lowered my mask, despite the fact that, again, I wasn't near anyone. I stood there and let her do her rant, get it out of her system, and didn't respond to her. She finally pulled the "What do you have to say for yourself?" card when she was done. Again, I didn't say a word. I looked her dead in the eye, reached into my pocket, and pulled out my inhaler. The guy behind her was fuming at her. "How dare you talk to her the way you did! You should be ashamed of yourself acting like an entitled child! Just goes to show you never know what someone else is going through or if they have underlying issues they have to live with. You better not leave this building until you apologize to her for the way you acted!" The lady just huffed and left and the guy, bless his heart, tried to stop her going full "Dad Mode" scolding her as she walked out then apologized to me on her behalf. I just laughed it off, thanked him for defending me the way he did, but I know a lost cause when I see one. His face went from red with rage to red from laughter. Other than that lady, I had a really good day that day. 😊
I hope you are doing well. 🙏🏽
The nail tech is awesome for standing up for herself. She deserves to be paid for her time and energy!
Someone years ago came up to me while I was in my wheelchair, accused me of 'faking it' because I was in my early 20s (I've been disabled since birth due to a genetic mutation) and tried to wheel me out the way of the lift. Lmao her face when she realised it was an electric wheelchair and didnt freewheel was hilarious. Imagine someone putting their full force against something with very strong brakes. Everyone was very amused. She then took the stairs.
Now that's funny
People are CRAZY! Glad it turned out some laughs 😄
I wouldn’t have laughed at all. I’d have 🌶️ sprayed her ___! You don’t mess with someone’s freaking wheelchair and try to essentially kidnap them! Just reading this p*sses me off!
I had an old woman try to PUSH ME OUT of the disabled seat on a packed bus that was right in front of the door, whilst people were boarding. I pointed at my cane and said "ma'am, I'm disabled". She didn't stop and called me "not that disabled, the elderly need it more". I made eye contact with the guy directly across from us, my expression saying "is she for real?" and the guy behind us lost it and startedlaughing at her, and she got so miffed she stepped off the step, out of the bus.... just before it closed and pulled away with her running to get back on. She could run quite well for someone who looked to be in their late 60's!
Isn't trying to move someone on a wheelchair against their will against some sort of law? Like akin to kidnapping? Idk if it has to do with the amount of feet moved, but I know I heard it somewhere
Bonus info on Ulta Karen: According to the police she was claiming and/or under the impression that this mother and daughter had followed her from another store.
The police did show up after the video ends. An officer and an Ulta employee helped escort the mother and daughter to their car. Karen apparently became verbally aggressive with the cops and made a comment about them "talking with the enemy" when they went to get statements from the mother and daughter. According to report, Karen frustrated the first officer so much he stepped away and had the second officer talk to her. She refused to give her name to the second officer and then tried to claim she didn't have a phone when asked for her phone number, despite holding her phone.
The altercation ended with the Karen being arrested for not complying with the police.
This is your reminder to give your schizoaffective relative their meds, and make sure they swallow them. Otherwise you get people telling others that they're talking to the enemy or screaming in your face and trying to pry your door off the hinges looking for the spies and aliens.
Thanks for sharing the backstory and the end result! That's just 🤌 *chef's kiss*. I love when the Karen thinks the police are going to show up and immediately take THEIR side, and they act so obnoxious and and hostile towards either the person they were attacking, the officer(s), or both, and end up going to jail themselves. Instant karma is a thing of beauty!
Crazy that when you live in the same town as other people, they may or may not need to visit the same places as you! Thanks for the back story. This Karen sounds as paranoid as they get.
@@Tayl0r_yes, it's called racism lol She was just a racist displaying racist tendencies. If she were any other race, she would have immediately been arrested for getting aggressive and not complying.

She has dangerous mental healthy problems.
My mom parked in a pregnant person’s place, and some lady came up and told her that was for pregnant ladies only. My mom always wears super baggy clothes, and it hid her belly well. My mom said, “I am pregnant F off”. The lady got so mad, so mom turned around, my sister in her one arm and she lifted her sweater to show her very pregnant belly. The lady grumbled and said she thought mom was just fat. My mom is Scottish and a red head with a temper. Thankfully for that lady she had me and my sister and was 7 months pregnant 😂

the hypocrisy of "you don't look disabled, what is it, prove your disability to me" and "I don't have to prove my disability to you" coming from the same Karen is just... I have no words...
Bruh...as a disabled person that made my head hurt.
It pisses me of so bad because ma’am if you’re disabled and especially invisible disability HOW in the hell you’re gonna go and take time to fight over a parking spot accusing them of not LOOKING disabled 🤦🏼♂️ have you no compassion or no brain cells?!?!
Also the nerve to say « tell me what your disability is AND IF I BELIEVE YOU you can park here » like who are you ??
This looks fake 😂 why is he still talking to her? Just roll up the window.
@user-hq7rd5hj7j They're Brits. They're too nice to do that. Plus, the video of her insanity probably went viral, so good for his channel.
That lady's got a lot of nerve sticking her arm into his car like that. Plus, she's a hypocrite... if she says she doesn't have to prove her disability, he shouldn't have to either. She just wants that exact spot. *shakes head
Honestly, if she really needed that spot, she wouldn't have done all that extra walking and standing around and harassing she did. I have a placard, but I only need it occasionally. Out of respect for others with disabilities, I will always take a regular spot if I can. Even if the disabled parking spots are empty and there's one next to them, I'll take that empty regular one even if I need a close parking spot that day because I can usually spare the extra couple steps whereas others may not. She doesn't want disabled people to be treated better, she wants herself and herself alone to be held up on a pedestal and catered too as if she's the most disabled of the invisibly disabled people and only one deserving of being seen as "really disabled."
Id have pulled my lighter out the minute her hand came near me
I laughed my ass off at the woman who doesn't look disabled, and won't say how she's disabled, bitching at the man who she says doesn't look disabled, and is infuriated because he won't tell her how he's disabled. OMG! She's so self-involved she has no idea how ludicrous she is.
😂
She was so ridiculous
Set up. She also played the Karen in a video of people eating chicken (she is supposedly vegan).
@@jeanettepugh6017 Really? I didn't know that. I guess it's a good audition for an acting career!
I always want to ask those Karens what disabled is supposed to look like. o.O
5:39 I used to work at Starbucks and let me tell you this. Mistakes do happen so if your drink if ever made wrong - you can simply come to the register and ask them to remake it. No need to cause the scene.
And by the way , if someone is being trained making drinks to customers - it means that they already practiced how to do it on the side. Plus the trainer would never let them make the order wrong. And a lot of times customers order stuff like shaken espresso which comes with 2” of milk and expect it to look like a latte, which costs more cause there more product being used. So some customers don’t even know how they order should look and taste like
I love how the one woman was arguing about him not looking disabled after parking her car and walking over there to fuss at him about it. Whatever her disability was, it didn’t seem to be a problem for her to make more of a walk for herself by parking around the corner and walking to his car, and then if he had moved she would’ve had to walk back to hers so she could come and park there.
That's exactly what I was thinking
Also, she refuses to tell him her disability but wouldn’t take “it’s none of your business” as an answer.
All of that and then having the nerve to reach into his car like that to confiscate his badge.
I guess her disability is entitlement lol
@@stacyblaisdell9474I would have rolled up the window on her arm.
The first one is terrifying. Imagine someone like that accusing you of a committing a crime against them. People have died and lost years of their lives imprisoned because of that.
One of my fav stories with the whole 'you don't look disabled' bs was from Reddit.
Basically, this one woman sat down calmly and politely, and took off her prosthetic leg. She then just gave a the Karen the 'look'. Apparently the Karen left very quickly.
I remember that one! The poster was wearing loose pants so it was easy to take the leg off but the pants were long enough to hide the prosthetic.
Not all disabilities are visible so to karens who dont know the situation need to keep it zipped .
9:51 as someone with an invisible disability this actually breaks my heart. That woman doesn’t have any right to ask him what his disability is. Acting like she’s the judge jury and executioner….I’ve seen cars without handicap placards … you know what I do? Mind my own business!!!!! I don’t know anyone’s circumstances. For her to do that while he actually has one…..what an awful person. 😢
as a disabled person, that old lady makes me so mad. she demands to know his disability but also refuses to say her disability. what a hypocrite. a lot of disabled people dont "look" disabled. i have rheumatoid arthritis my whole life. i don't look disabled, but I'm yelled at often because I'm so young.
Totally get your point bit I think in this clip, its even worse since he has a visible disability. The original video is longer and he shows, he is missing a leg. So its something you will be seeing at some point.
But true, even then there are disabilities that arent visible and unless you have 100% valid proof that person is faking or just parking there without a disability, its not anyones place to judge who can park there or not. Wether someone has a disability thats easy to see or not, people should try not to be the saviour who brought justice to someone, when it wasnt needed and made everything worse.
It's fake, that woman does loads of these type of videos. Although I appreciate this does happen in real life all the time.
People really gotta learn to mind their damn business. I am so sorry you have to deal with that at such a young age 😢 my grandma had RA from her teens on, and she was always in pain. I wish I could give you a hug.
Same! I’ve had people tell me that I can’t have RA because I’m not old enough… ok. Tell that to my dr and my immune system and maybe it will disappear!
@HeathAkaH2O Fr!!! Yes, it's more common in older people, but it does not mean young people can't have it!
My aunt was the 911 operator on the other end of that call in the first video 😂😂
I remember her telling us about it then seeing the video go viral. Happened a town over from where I’m from. The lady was kinda a frequent caller, has some mental issues. This person was just the first to catch her on video. Crazy world 💀
that's nuts!! glad she was like that all the time, tbh... poor mike
Actually there's another video (or first video)
Charlotte screaming " MIKE, MIKE" already made my day better. 😆♥️
Same!
You know she'll play this for her boyfriend.
If I were Charlotte, I'd turn that "Mike!" Mike!" shriek into a ringtone so she'll instantly know it's him when he calls. Maybe keep it for a day and then change it. A little of that bellowing from that wounded water buffalo goes a long way!
Reminded me of the BBC's funny animals talking. "ALAN ALAN ALAN!!".
“Why do they not leave?”
They have no shame, absolutely none. They don’t care that they’re making a scene, they don’t care that they’re making an ass of themselves. They’re always right and they’re entitled to make large and unreasonable demands. It’s their world and we’re just living in it.
The last lady had me triggered. Some people can never be happy, and they have to complain about everything. I had a customer like this when i worked in a music store. Always tried to return everything she bought. And it wasn't just my store, it was everywhere in our town. She ended being banned in so many places. 🙄🤦♀️
I know! I probably wouldn’t have made past her “I don’t like it I need you to take that shit off”. I could never talk to someone like this!
It was clearly a dominance thing. She sounded so racist. She didn't say, "now that I see this color, it's not as pretty as I thought, could you redo them, please?" No, she went full-on Karen "redo them! I'm not leaving, redo them." S'cuse me, honey, but...what gives you the right to waste the time of people trying to make money. Just because you have the time-doesn't mean they gotta bend to your will.
This woman definitely sounded like she did it on purpose to get them for free
That lady sounds exactly like my monster-in-law 🤮
We had one like that at a grocery store bakery I worked at. She must've ordered a full sheet cake for every event her family ever had because she was always there. We always knew every cake was a nasty demand for the manager, a remake, and her order comped. I have no idea why they kept letting her do this, but she ordered full sheets and never paid in the end. The worst of it was her acting like we needed to be fired, and making a cake twice for a lady who tried to get us fired so she could scam free cake. And the management allowed it. I was told the one time she couldn't get it free she "dropped" it (baker said it looked like it'd been stomped on) in the parking lot and got it remade in a rush order out of spite.
The disabled placard situation is my worst nightmare. I'm 28 and look perfectly healthy unless I'm limping that day, which isn't that often. I've heard so many stories like this that I'm nervous every time I park in a disabled spot that someone will call me out like this. Yay people!
I understand how you feel. I am disabled from a slip and fall incident last year. When I tore too many ligaments in my right knee, I don’t have a disability placard because I’m afraid to get one because of all these Karen’s. I understand how you feel.
My father had a heart transplant when I was a child. He often had to park in disabled spots because of his inability to walk long distances and push his heart after the surgery. Some batty old Karen got on his case when he and Mom were walking into the grocery store one day from the disabled parking spot. My mom began berating her, loudly and clearly so that EVERYONE in the parking lot could hear. She said that it was none of her business how disabled her husband was, but in case she was curious, his heart could give out if he so much as strains his chest. Then she essentially told the woman to go eff herself, lol. This was the parking lot for the army base commissary, and Mom and Dad were so well known there (they were big tippers to the baggers) that by the time they reached the door, one of the baggers had already grabbed a cart for them and eagerly asked them to find his line when they checked out.
I heard this story second-hand, as at the time, I was staying in another state with a great aunt and uncle for the duration of Dad's transplant and recovery. But it made me laugh when Mom told me about the nosy lady who though she knew everything and everybody, and it was a good life lesson for me to not make assumptions about people at first glance, too.
I once parked in a disabled spot by accident. Comming back to the car I realise the disabLed sign is drawn in slighter darker grey instead of bright blue. Luckily there were 2other disabled spots next to it and both were empty, so I didn't take anyones spot it appears. I quickly drived away very embarassed.
@@rebny7801 I had the opposite problem. I was at my college and the parking lot had been recently repainted. There were two spots with visible bright blue emblems and curbs. One spot didn’t haven’t the emblem, but the curb was mistakenly painted blue. I parked there since it was the last spot available. On my birthday, I come out to a $300 ticket. I wrote an appeal and the ticket was dropped and the curb was painted gray the following week. You can always contest these things if it’s not clearly marked 😊
So I have a service dog and this type of harassment has happened to me a lot. I used to get so upset but I've just learned to try to have fun with these idiots. I like to tell people who say I don't look disabled or rudely ask why I need my service dog that I have an extremely rare condition where I crap myself without warning, but somehow my dog is able to detect that it's about to happen, and it gives me just a couple minutes to get to the toilet before I poop everywhere. I trained my dog to start nudging my hand when I give him a subtle que and then I very serious and urgently say "OMG, he's telling me. I have to go right now!" And then I waddle away with my butt clenched as fast as I possibly can with my dog looking so serious like he's on a mission (but I guess to him, this is very serious work, lmao.)
I very thankfully don't have that specific disability (idk think it exists but if it does, my sincere apologies) but I have almost pissed myself laughing after doing it. Even the most rude people are usually taken off guard and intrigued (I truly believe that demographic greatly overlap with the most bored and miserable people, so they tend to go for the bait.) But I really don't care how they take it because it's fun for me instead of unpleasant. Always remember that these people are not entitled to being treated seriously. You are well within your rights to treat them with the equal amount of respect they approached you with. Honestly I think it's more respectful to just goof on someone as to be just as rude back, and it's better for your mental health. Just keep in mind your safety when doing so, as people are wild out there.
Lol my husband’s name is Mike. He was like “what in the name of holy hell are you watching????” 🤣🤣🤣
2:35 I’m convinced these types of Karens were never children. They just appeared one day, fully grown, and screaming like a banshee
Exactly lol I have never met a child named Karen either😂 coincidence? I think not! 😂
A quick note: in the UK (where the parking video was filmed), the "blue badge" scheme (aka disabled parking scheme) is administered by local authorities and some NHS Trusts. As a result, whilst it is a national scheme, because it is not administered by a central authority, some badges look different to others. That's just how it is.
You qualify for a blue badge if you are unable to walk a specified distance (normally between 20 & 50m without needing to stop, dependent on your local authority) or if your mobility is impaired to the point where your medical specialist thinks that you need a blue badge. The disability for a blue badge is *always* mobility related, because the scheme essentially ensures that you can park closer to where you are going - that's all it does. If that woman was able to park up some distance away, walk round to the parking spot she wanted, stand and film, reach in to the car and argue, not require mobility aids or look unsteady or uncomfortable on her feet - and intends on walking back, parking there, and completing the errand she set out to do, instead of just going home because the lack of parking stops her from running her errand - she does not need that blue badge. And I say that as a doctor with decades of experience, who has written letters of recommendation for blue badges.
If her local authority see this footage, her blue badge will be removed from her and, if she is receiving PIP (Personal Independence Payment - a state benefit often used by local authorities as "proof" of the impaired mobility required to qualify for a blue badge) then that will be removed from her, too, and she'll be prosecuted for benefit fraud. Not to mention the attempted theft of the gentleman's blue badge (along with associated charges from leaning into his vehicle like that)...
As for the car adaptations, she clearly doesn't need any! Her legs work well enough to walk and she is not using a wheelchair. Besides, the man is seated in his car - how can she tell if he is paraplegic or an amputee, purely from looking at him sitting in a vehicle?! How can she even tell if the car has adaptations from outside of the vehicle (such as hand controls to replace pedals)? Not everyone has a wheelchair ramp - he might use crutches, a stick or cane, or a chair he transfers himself into (like my friend's dad does, who is a paraplegic). Or he might be an amputee, or suffer from severe fatigue or respiratory issues. She can't demand to know everything about him, whilst recognising that the same can not be asked of her.
Atrocious behaviour! With possible racist undertones... I hope she is penalised for it, to the full extent of the law.
It's a staged vid
@@Ater_Draco What makes you say that?
Besides, whether it is or isn't, this happens daily. I've had people harrass friends with blue badges while I've been in the vehicle with them and, living in a community with a lot of veterans, I have heard a lot of stories that mirror this one. One story from Plymouth, a garrison city here in the UK, made national news just a few months ago - when a decorated war hero and double amputee was told he didn't look "disabled enough" to use his blue badge.
This happens - a lot.
@t-and-p it happens a lo, not in this case.
1) he's parked the wrong way in the entrance to the car area of a motorway services, as you can tell from the road markings. We all know there are no bays there, because a) you need the room to turn into the entrance if you're towing a caravan, and b) the disabled bays are the first row by the services main doors
2) At the end of the fuller clip he gets out and shows he's an amputee with only one leg. It's an overly long joke. It's been doing the rounds on socials for a few years
@@Ater_Draco Didn't realise there was a longer clip. I thought the set-up looked odd but, as we couldn't see the layout properly from that angle, I went with it, as they can see more than us (&, let's be honest, some carparks look like they were designed by non-driving 3 year olds! 😂).
I can see why they made it, though, because people like her 100% exist and - particularly after Iraq and Afghanistan - we have a lot of amputees who are treated like dogsh-t because they dare to go the gym and not "look disabled". Joke or not, it relays a very good point 👍
I have a very bad back. You can’t see it but sometimes it’s all I can do to walk thru the store. I’ve gotten several comments about not looking disabled and I point out the hideous scars on my legs from post surgical staph infections. 😅 They don’t affect my walking but they are gnarly enough to silence the Karens.
I'm DYING at the absolute english snark of the man in the parking space telling her "okay, well done" when she pointed out it was a disabled parking spot. I have a disc prolapse, I usually use crutches or a cane currently. But otherwise I look young and "not disabled" (whatever ableist bs that means)... but they still gave me the blue badge because not everyone who is disabled looks a certain way or needs to be in a chair. My aunt has never used a chair but has incoordination due to brain surgery 20 years back. She still has a disabled parking badge. People are crazy entitled thinking they can police these things better than the government bodies in charge of them. The paperwork I had to file too literally hours and I had to provide so many forms of proof. They do not just hand those things out willynilly. Also... tbh the karen saying "and I paid for it" ma'am.. I filed in the UK. it costs 15£.. you paid the cost of like two cups of coffee if you really have one, which I am suspect of as you are standing there trying to argue with this man for so long.
As a disabled person myself, I've had the looks and rude comments because I "don't look disabled". I calmly tell them that their stupidity isn't a disability and to get out of my face.
Not the same, but similar. I'm hearing impaired and as a result of that, I speak louder than most people, because I can't hear how loud I am talking. I frequently have people telling me to "keep my voice down," "shush," "quiet down" etc. When I tell people the reason I am loud, they look at my ears and say "Why aren't you wearing a hearing aid then?" I should not have to use a device, to PROVE that I have a disability.
I’m glad the nail tech didn’t skip a beat telling her no!’n
Sadly, probably far from the first time she's dealt with that.
Seriously, there'd plenty I'd LIKE to do as an occupation, if it weren't for the ADULT PEOPLE involved 😂
I feel so bad for my friend Karen. She never deserved her name being used like this. 😂😂😂
Yeah, it’s been kind of a trip the last few years! 😂
I remember one class I had in grade school with 3 girls named Karen. Also a lot of Kathy/Cathyssss. I have a current friend named Karen who is the least Karen-y person I know.
Yeah, there’s a lovely greeter at the local Walmart named Karen. And a lot of people called Karens are clearly dealing with some kind of mental illness so I think they need a separate category. But I see why the name sticks to some folks… I’ve known some utterly despicable Karens, too.
@@kayjacoby290 My middle school homeroom had 5 Karens and 4 were Karen Elizabeth.

2:29 there is an entire story. She's been harassing people leaving the park. He got pulled over after leaving and showed the cops the entire video. She was a gate employee.
She was problematic and people had been having issues with her for a while. I do believe she got let go lol
Seriously? Why the frick was she harassing people leaving the park? Other than because she was a batshit Karen, of course.

Hypocrisy at its finest
It's fake
@Y_Ddraig_Ddu it's not, it was big news.
I blame him for not rolling his window up.
@@BunnyQueen97 it's fake. It's been doing the rounds on socials for a long time. He's not even parked in a disabled bay. He's parked at the entrance to a motorway services
Exactly. Some people are ignorant, have no decency and are truly selfish.
I have an aunt with MS and a MIL recovering from cancer, if this happened to them, there would be hell to pay
My husband is disabled & we have a handicapped placard. I don’t use it unless he is with me. I was at my in-laws & the have a placard. My BIL. & I went to the store, he parked in a handicapped spot & I asked "Why are you parking here?". He said that he has a placard. I said "Yea but that’s for handicapped people & your not handicapped.". The next place we went he parked in a regular spot. 😊
the answer to "why dont they just leave?" is rooted in the very definition of a 'Karen' they arent crazy. they are Entitled. the reason they dont run away or leave. is because they feel like they are 100% in the right. they think they (often as nothing more than a "paying customer" ) are entitled to Anything they want, because they have been "wronged"
They also think the police will always side with them, which is partially entitlement, and partially because U.S. police were originally formed to catch and bring back slaves for women like this and their slave-owning husbands. Any time BIPOC person is involved, you can bet that the racist Karens are gonna try to sick the cops on them. They believe that the cops will believe them over a BIPOC any day, and sadly that is often the case here.
I went thru a Timmies drive thru recently. When I got to the window to pay and get my order, I was just being myself. The young girl says to me "thank you so much for your smile and kindness. A lot of ppl either just grunt or don't even acknowledge us" I was mortified for her! How dare ppl be rude like that! Have we forgotten just how much a smile and a thank you means to ppl? Uhg 🙄🇨🇦
At the deli counter at a nearby grocery store a woman told us we were the nicest people she had all day simply because we said please and thank you. That just made me sad.
In the British railway, there’s posters put up asking people to be nice to railway workers and it’s the saddest thing in my opinion! I don’t get how people will be rude to people just doing their jobs.
One time after a big storm I brought a bouquet of daisies for the workers at my local Dunkin Donuts as a thank you for keeping work crews and first responders running, and they all wore one of the daisies pinned to their apron or hat for the rest of the week. Retails folks don't get enough appreciation.
I say hello, please, thank you, have a nice day...Have people flushed their civility down the drain with their morning pee? So sad.
@@izribeiroxMy local emergency room in the states has plaques on the wall that say that in that state it's illegal to assault hospital staff and lists the law number. That one made me sad, and when my nurses said that if I didn't yell at them, punch, kick, or bite them then they didn't care what I did. I apologized for falling asleep and snoring loudly when getting a migraine treatment. IV Benedryl (antihistamine) is given, and if you think the tablets knock you out whooo buddy! Nobody prepares/warns you for the iv version, and each time it still catches me off guard.😅 To think that staff in A&E are being assaulted, probably daily, just makes me so sad.

Lady the car is literally off
I once had a lovely young woman on my team. She had a disabled badge, because all her lower vertebra were fused. She rarely used the disabled space because she was kind enough to leave it for people who needed it more. One day when she did use it, I had someone calling my team saying that the girl 'didn't look disabled". It is so sad when people aggressively judge on appearances.
So the majority of my spine is fused, and there have been times when my back hurts enough that I wish I had a disabled placcard. But even if I did I'd probably be the same way, and leave the space open. Heck, I even feel guilty when I use the handicap stall, even though I'm doing it because I know full well the regular toilets are too low for me to get off of.
My Dad's the same, even had a morphine pump, he's also British and doesn't like confrontation. So to avoid such instances he would ride along and/or send one of me or my siblings to get him things, parking in a normal spot, then go himself. He says it's not worth the pain to go himself if they are going to be like that@@BreeS-zd5rx
@@BreeS-zd5rxI have the same problem too and also have Parkinson’s Disease which can cause problems some days worse than others. I have been told by some people that I don’t look disabled and should park elsewhere.☹️
My 79 yo just had surgery and she had to use the bathroom. It was cataract surgery so she couldn't see. I park in the handicap spot despite not having a placard. ( my mom is not normally handicapped) In front of security. They see me helping my mother so not one word was said by anyone. Thank God. A cop also came in the store. I'm glad some people have common sense regarding this. Technically I shouldn't have been able to park there. Kudos to no Karens in Fargo, ND!
My daughter and I had our order skipped due to a system glitch. Me being a people pleaser didn't say anything until the manager asked us what the order was...30min later. They offered a refund, which I declined. So they gave us extra food.
My daughter thought it was the best day ever because we got so many chicken nuggets. I wasn't expecting anything so it was a nice surprise.
I would so do this too. I am way too introverted and don't like really bringing anything up. Mostly because I have worked and fast food too.
exactly, this what normal, sweet people do
I have had a similar conversation not rude but confused at Starbucks when my cup was half full when normally it would be full. I normally order in the app. They were so sweet and explained to me what I did when I ordered and yes it was MY mistake. I learned something and we had a good laugh and they did help me with my coffee. 🤣😂
Legend has it that Karen is still waiting to do her nails. She was never planning on paying. It looked like the lady did an excellent job.
They remain because to many of them doubling down is less embarrassment than leaving and admitting they were wrong
I went to Starbucks once when they made my drink wrong. I asked them to remake it and…they did. No one yelled. And everyone had a decent day.
Plus most Starbucks employees can tell when a drink is not actually made correctly. The customer gets this confused puppy look on their face like they're not sure what happened. (Happened to me. They accidently put in soy milk in my chai, which gives it this lemony taste like the milk has gone off. )
@@crazedwolfpuppyI've had that happen before too. I just took the drink and pretended everything was okay.
I got a Swiss mushrooms cheese burger once that they forgot to put the patty on. Very weird experience on that first bite. I brought it up, they said oops and fixed it. Mistakes happen. They usually aren't that big of a deal and that one was kind of funny.
The irony of the disabled Karen saying he doesn't look disabled, then claiming that you can't see her disability is ASTOUNDING. I would have been asking what her disability was and that I don't believe her. I also hope he pressed charges against her for attempted theft and entering his property without permission.
Parking Karen REALLY has the gall to say 'I don't have to show you anything to prove my disability' and then DEMANDS THIS GUY SHOW HER PROOF OF HIS DISABILITY. And she doesn't even clock the hypocrisy!! Doesn't even occur to her!! I can't IMAGINE having that audacity!!
A lot of people in the comments are saying it’s a skit, but I know what it feels like to be told I don’t look disabled and it’s so frustrating.
To put into context the first clip was a Karen that was assigned at the gate of a public park. The guy filming made a wrong turn and ended up here. He was going to enter, turn around and leave, but Karen said no. Apparently she's done this so many times that the park rangers shown in the video were used to it. There have been many complaints about her, (mostly to do with her terrible racism) but nothing was done. Once this video went viral they finally took her out of public service. Seems they couldn't bring themselves to fire her so they put her out of sight.
The Karen that was harping on about the disabled parking makes me crazy. She has already parked and walked over to this guy. If she's able to do that and then stand there and argue, why doesn't she just get on with her business? She's already overcome the obstacle of parking. So what's the problem? I have a disabled placard but more often than not the handicapped parking spaces are already taken. Just suck it up and walk a little further or go somewhere else. When I must be somewhere and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to walk far I'll have someone take me who can drop me off at the door.
i heard she was charged with an illegal detainment. obviously lying while on the phone too..."hes still moving" while she knew she was recorded...lmao.
the disabled space thing always makes me angry, firstly, not all disabled people driver modified or obviously modified cars, for instance my sister in law drives a bigger car because it makes it easier for her to get in and out, a cousin has a car who's seats swivel to allow easier access. i've been questioned when in a disabled space because i don't look disabled - when i'm there trying to get out of the car with someone's help AND my cane. on bad days i have to use my wheelie chair and i still get looks - i think if you are younger than 70 a lot of people think you can't possibly need that space and are just faking a disability.
I can't believe how crazy the woman arguing about the disable parking stop. This is insane
@18:27: “And I ran, I ran so far away…I just ran, I ran all night and day… I couldn’t get away” 🤣🤣🤣 bahahahaha that is the ONLY thing that ran through my mind at that part. SOOOOO RELATABLE THOUGH
I think the reason Karens never leave is that deep down inside they know what they're doing is wrong but they have too much pride to just walk away. They dont want to admit it.
Honestly, I think some of them genuinely think if they throw a fit they’ll have things their way. It’s pure selfish entitlement imo!
@Kasoha4 Yep I agree, that's definitely part of it too
Exactly because walking away means (in their head) they lost, so they have to double down and get louder
"If somebody bites you don't forget to bite back" - Charlotte 😂 . Calling someone racial slurs just because he gave you mean looks (at least in your opinion ) sadly is a remnant of earlier times where people were killed on mere accusations because of them being a different color or race . That woman is not a normal Karen , an insidious darker human being who glories in others misery .

The disabled parking thing happens all the time. I've actually had my cane kicked out from under me because the woman insisted that I was far too young to need it and I was clearly faking. I was in my late 30's at the time. Didn't matter that I had the placard, didn't matter that I had to walk very slowly using my cane for support. To her I was just a big faker too lazy to walk up from the larger part of the parking lot. I have had variations on that theme for more than ten years now and it's getting old. 😒
She would have gotten the cane swung at her.
Thay is assault, I hope you called the police.
I would have reported her to police and pressed charges for assault.
I wish I HAD called police, but at the time I didn't have a cell phone yet and I was very non-confrontational thanks to the abuse I was raised in. In short, the woman terrified me and it was a guy in the parking lot who made her go away and leave me alone, not me.
that's awful and i'm sorry these confrontations happen to you. god bless.
I love how she was asking him to prove his disability but when he asked her" I don't have to prove anything to you"
Gotta say that disabled guy was a hell of a lot nicer to that woman than I woulda been.
That First Lady, I thought she was screaming “MINE”. Like in finding Nemo and the seagulls. Lol!
The seagulls are saying 'Mate' 🤣
The 'disabled' Karen also does not seem to be disabled but needs the spot for her car which is no where in sight. Close your eyes and really imagine the life of that Karen that she would take time to do this. How small and sad must her life be that this is where she has ended up.
In the first story, DO NOT LEAVE that situation until the police show up and you can show them the video of what happened. Once they say you can leave, then leave. You don't want the police to only hear one side of story where part of the story is that you fled the scene even though you did nothing wrong.
If you needed to get somewhere other than an airport to make it to your family member's wedding, they'll understand why you were late.
As a learner driver I had someone come up to me to tell me off for parking in the disabled spot while I was getting shopping bags out of the car. She got quiet real quick when mum came around the back of the car to find out what was going on, using her walking sticks. Woman got quiet real quick.
These days, folks assume that a disabled person is not allowed to have someone with them... Apology would be nice; but her embarrassment is priceless.
@@Tequila3075 I understand the frustration, but I would not approach to say anything unless I saw no sticker. Even then probably wouldn’t approach. Not all disability is visible.
As an ambulant disabled person with a blue badge, I have had this. I use a wheelchair when I am on my feet for more then a few minutes or I use crutches, I don’t look disabled and I don’t have adaptions in my car - doesn’t mean I don’t need the blue badge! Makes me so mad! Xx
You can’t win when it comes to “you don’t look disabled”.
If you show them without saying another word and humoring their BS. “You didn’t have to be rude about it”
And if you try to defend yourself they go on a rant none stop 😂
I feel saddened of the stories where people feel they have to "prove" their disabilities to these entitled crap human beings. You already proved your disability to the people who matter, your doctors and the people who authorized your permit. Don't enable Karens and give them the feeling like they were justified in asking by acquiescing by proving it to them, they'll likely continue doing it to others regardless but knock them down a peg by putting them on ignore, basically.
You can’t win any argument with entitled/narcissistic people. They will just keep changing the blame from something to another forever. The best solution is to record them so they cannot gaslight you.
That was acted…
@@crIms0ngen Tell them to call a cop. It's absolutely none of their business.
I say “Thank you! That’s so kind.” My friend says “And you don’t look like an a-hole. But looks like we were both wrong.”
I worked at Starbucks in LA for two and a half years. They did not pay us enough for the B.S we had to deal with. The entitlement of some of the customers was wild. I had a man scream in my face over a frapuccino. He had a full on toddler meltdown and started swearing at me and threatening to call corporate. He demanded a refund, which he got swiftly. I was a shift manager at the time, and had zero patience for disrespect. The angrier he got the calmer and unphased I was. He ended up looking like a complete fool.
omg, the handicap parking spot one made me so mad. This Karen really said "You don't look disabled" then said "I have a disability but you can't see it" Like girl you can't have it both ways. Not to mention this also mad me mad because I grew up with chronic pain, and I had so many people accuse me of faking my disability just because they couldn't see it. Like just mind your own business nobody should have to prove their disabilities to people who don't need to know. Like this karen.
The thing with being "looked at"... we have no control over what other people do/ say, but we have control over how we react. For her to insult someone with racist remarks because of a "look" is a reflection of someone with no self control, of any kind.
Storytime: I was flying to Washington DC and the TSA agent decided to completely wreck my suitcase. He took everything out and just shoved it back in. When he went through my toiletries he found my can of "itchiness" spray. He held it up and said out loud, "This can of "itchiness" spray is too full." In a blatent attempt to embarrass me. He does this while my wife and I are trying to refold everything in out suitcase. I just looked at him at that point and said, "That's okay, I had my balls all over that today and they are fine now." I gave him a BIG grin. He tossed it back into the bag and stormed off...apparently to wash his hands because he didn't have gloves on.
🤣😂🤣😂
Charlotte you are my current favourite person on the internet, I love your videos soooo much. I usually hate commenting and I fast forward just so I can see the video, but with you I don’t care what you watch, I love watching you so much 😂😂😂😂😂 you make me laugh sooo hard and it’s just icing on the cake that you’re Canadian. ❤❤❤❤❤ don’t change girl you’re so great!!
I've been harassed multiple times for not "looking disabled" enough even with my placard up. It usually has been from a non-disabled person. 🤦♀️
Ugh, I'm furious and annoyed for u
I know someone young and gorgeous who tries to recover from a car accident by lots of exercises and wears lots of athletic wear, and no one believes that she has a metal hip. She also gives way for people who are more severely disabled than she is.
She don't look disabled either.... She's obviously able to stand and argue forever...
I know eh 😂 my thoughts exactly 😂
She said she was parked about a block away and didn’t seem to have a problem after walking that distance
8:25 No, because this woman just told him he "doesn't look disabled" and yet she is walking around telling him that she is disabled and needs to park there...girl you don't look disabled either so who're you to say he isn't disabled, hello???
The woman betrating the disabled man doesnt look very disabled to me either 😂😂😂
I love how disabled Karen tried to take his placard away on camera. She was getting very close to an assault charge.
She would have had a very sore arm had she tried that with me.
Theft too.
Could he have been charged if he had grabbed her arm to stop her? I sure hope not!
@@HeidiGraham1982 no, she was trying to take things from him, IN his car.
@@KaitlynnIsDead Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but you never know these days. Thanks for the reply!
my mom used to look at people in disabled parking spots and say "they don't look disabled." the tldr is I finally got the courage to say something to her about it and I haven't heard her say it again to this day.
Well now I want to know what you said. Dang
@@jessicaconner1242 unfortunately at this point I can't remember, but I think I said something about how disabled doesn't have a look. plus other stuff but it was more than 5 years ago and my memory is awful lol.
At least you got the point across to your mom to not say those things because you're right, A LOT of disabilities DON'T look a certain way, but they can still cause issues for people. Hope your mom just minds her business now
@@NekoKuro-il8rz I think she still gets frustrated when she can't get a disabled parking spot since she has a hard time walking, but she doesn't accuse them of faking it anymore. so for that, I'm grateful. she's not entirely unreasonable thankfully lol.
Charlotte, I love every single one of your videos!(from every topic) I look forward to watching them every single time I have a chance! when my daughters napping lol!(ive recently became a mother in the Fall last year). You have made a huge impact on my life! Thank you Charlotte Dobre!, for times youve always been there for me!, when life and ppl have been crappie! ❤
I ordered starbucks through the drive-thru got on the road took a drink and it was so bitter (Carmel frappe). Went back inside the store and politely told them there was a problem they fixed it and we all moved on about our day. Funny how far a little kindness goes.
"you dont look disabled to me" -Karen who claims that shes disabled while perfectly standing there 2023
I’m convinced Karen’s think they’re the only people on earth. Like they have no consideration for the fact others exist and have to face consequences for their actions
They have an extremely inflated sense of their own importance
They think everyone else just exists to serve them 🙃
The ones on camera were Karens for sure but some of the people operating the cameras were Karens or Kens too. I'm starting to see that some of the people posting these videos are provoking situations & being drama queens themselves. And a lot of Karen videos seem to be staged now. I'm pretty sure the disabled parking one & the manicure one were stage. On that last one, the customer wasn't that good an actress & that gave it away for me.
They don’t truly think that, but they will act entitled and make sure to intimidate you to give in to their entitlement. It’s dangerous really because being yelled at with insults and accusations dose make us feel bad, but if we do it to them they will act as the victim. Thank god we live with self phones to protect our selves from their lies.
A Charlotte public freakout would be AWESOME!
" Not every disability is visible", then proceeds to say he doesn't look like he's disabled. "I don't have to tell tou what my disability is", then proceeds to ask him what kind of disability he has. She is SOOO paradoxal it is giving me serious anxiety......
I have gotten many a manicure where the color on my nails was not quite how I thought it would look (sometimes the sample colors look a bit brighter or lighter on than they do on nails). But if I really HATED the color, I stopped them after the first nail or two and said "On 2nd thought I don't like this, can I choose something else?" Otherwise if they were finished and I wasn't thrilled I would simply thank them, pay, tip a decent but not stellar amount, and leave.
Karen: I don’t have to prove my disability, but it’s there.
Also Karen: Show me your disability! Prove it to me!
🤦🏻♀️
Notice how the first womans “Mike” is the exact same tone every time. Hilarious lol
