a psycho Karen who makes the biggest mistake of her life by berading him I hope you enjoy the stories today hit subscribe if you haven't and as always you can send or link your post to this email right [Music] here this happened a l long time ago my mom and I were at Walmart shopping for stuff my mom finds like a shirt and she wants to go try it on so we head to the change room I'm just sitting there waiting for her to try on the shirts and just looking at my phone while keeping an eye on our cart that's when my mom says hey can you get a larger size this one's a bit tight so I get up and go find a bigger size for her and after I find it I hand it to my mom and go back to where I was sitting and that's when I hear excuse me I need a different size in this I look up and I see Karen standing in a different changing room holding up a shirt or some kind of clothing Karen says here get me this in a different size it's way too small for me that's when I say to her um I'm sorry but I don't work here I was just helping out my Karen then interrupts me and says well you helped The Other Woman why wouldn't you help me it would only make sense I do want to note that I was dressed in all black not the Walmart uniform I say to Karen I helped her because she's my mom besides I don't even know where you got that from Karen says I got this from over there she then points to some random Direction and says it's not that hard to find just go it's right in the opening so be nice and go get it for me right now again I tell her I'm sorry but I was told to watch the cart and stay here in case something happens to our stuff but you can change back and get it yourself at that Karen angrily Huffs and she slams the door shut hard now she might have slammed it too hard because I noticed the door to my mom's changing room shake a bit a few minutes later my mom comes out wondering what happened and what that yelling was about I explain everything to her and we walk away from the changing room and she puts the shirt back because she couldn't find one that fits her but as we were leaving I recall hearing a frantic rattling behind us so I stopped looking around and even waited a bit for the rattling to start again my mom noticing I stopped said is something wrong I'm still looking around and I say to her I thought I heard something rattling do you hear that mom says no I don't now let's hurry we've been here much longer than we should have and your dad's been waiting so with that we just walk away where I eventually spot an actual employee and let her know about Karen needing help in the changing room to which she responds with thanks I'll head over to see what she needs my mom and I head over to the grocery section and we grab a few items before heading to the checkout area while we're waiting in line we overhear some employees talking about someone being stuck in a change room at that we start laughing we can only assume what the problem could be since we didn't see Karen leaving the change room the cashier rings up our stuff and we head home for the evening not wanting to hear what happened since Karen might accuse me of not helping her and possibly claim that I trapped her in the changing room the rattling that I heard when we were leaving the area could have been Karen trying to open the door but since my mom was in a hurry we saved ourselves from Karen's full WRA guys I love how Karen got her dose of karma that day trapping herself in that little change room like I couldn't help but chuckle when Opie said she was frantically rattling the door probably trying to get it to unlatch and this person comments Legend has it that Karen still rattles the door waiting for a non-employee to let her out so she can unleash hell on Earth ain't that scary so yesterday I went to visit my son daughter-in-law and Grandson to deliver some food my wife made lasagna when my wife makes lasagna everybody gets them my daughter-in-law is in bed as she had heard her back on Friday and it was was still giving her issues been there done that it sucks I'm playing with my grandson when my son mentions that he's going to take him to the grocery store to pick up a few things so daughter-in-law doesn't have to worry about going grandson is cutting MERS and not in a very good mood so I offered to go with him to the store to expedite the process as it's on my way home we take separate cars and meet up we start shopping and we're knocking it out me grabbing things and my son Entertaining Mr Cranky Pants we stopped in the pet food SLS Supply aisle as he needed kitty litter I grab it and leave heading over to the dairy aisle one more thing to get and we're out of there while leaving the aisle I did hear someone yelling hey but I paid it no mind while walking to the dairy aisle I heard faint slap slap slap slaps and that's the unmistakable sound of flip-flops we live in Florida and flip-flops are a way of life hell when it gets cold there's some who wear them with socks I'm walking in the dairy aisle still hearing slap slap slap slap I grabbed the butter and as we're turning the the corner to head to the registers the slapping gets louder followed by someone saying hey stop running from me I've been chasing you for 5 minutes I need help where's this brand of dog food the woman was visibly out of breath my son and I turn around and right away she starts in about chasing us down blah blah blah but you could tell that she was confused as we're not dressed anywhere close to what employees wear as they wear green uniforms she just kept staring at our shirts me with a steppen wolf t-shirt complete with a large wolf head and my son wearing a Donkey Kong t-shirt not ready to admit defeat yet she tried to say something else and at this moment that's when my grandson sticks his arms straight out and starts waving his hands around saying no no no it's at that point my son and I both lost it and we started laughing so hard that we were in tears we just said sorry don't work here and turned around and continued to the registers without incident meanwhile the Karen just stands there mouth gaping I'm still shocked that she ran down the other end of the pet aisle past three other aisles and then ran down the entire length of the dairy aisle in her flipflops to chase down two men and a baby to ask about some random dog food guys I absolutely love how Karen was stopped dead in her tracks by Opie's grumpy grandson like way to go little man he diffused the situation quicker than many adults who have encountered Karen's have with that said though props to Karen for being so determined to chase down an employee in flip-flops nonetheless I hope she ended up finding her dog food so this just happened I'm a 38-year-old female and I've worked different retail and customer service jobs most of my life and I've dealt with my fair share of entitled customers at work I've even been mistaken as an employee at a bunch of stores but this was my first confrontational experience as a customer on this day my daughter and I were at Wally World getting dog food and a couple of last minute ingredients for dinner I'm loading a large bag of dog food while trying to keep a toddler entertained when it happened and entitled Karen appears she was wearing an obnoxiously pink outfit thick Gody jewelry bad dyed hair and the woman had nails long enough to make a tiger jealous I didn't know she was there until I felt a jab in the shoulder with those Nails I turned around to an expression that could curtle milk I say to her yes the woman then says load four bags of dog food in my cart the woman just demanded pointing at the 40 lb bags that I loaded in my cart I do want to add that there was no please no polite would you could you just a tur order like she was talking to someone so beneath her that she couldn't be bothered saying anything else and also I wasn't even slightly resembling a worker since I was wearing jeans sneakers and a black hoodie from the local haunted house not to mention my daughter was in the cart next to me still I wasn't in a rush and my daughter wasn't being fussy if Karen had asked nicely I would have gladly helped I've done that a bunch of times before and I've always been glad to help so long as I get a please and thank you from the person I'm helping instead I just said I don't work here I'm shopping now I was hoping that being direct and staying close to my daughter would show that I was busy but no her lip curled even harder and she sounded insulted when I said that and she replied so you're not going to help me I say to her no I need to finish my shopping so not wanting to risk getting caught up in one of the many I don't work your lady stories that I read I grab my cart with my daughter and start walking away I just wanted to get us away from that situation as soon as possible and that was my mistake never turn your back on a Rabbid animal I barely registered Karen's Huff before she grabbed me by the hood of my sweater and she yanked this freaked me out from suddenly being choked now I'm someone that's been trained in self-defense martial arts and I was raised around a bunch of bikers if maternal instincts weren't telling me to get my daughter out of danger I probably would have done a lot more damage to the woman than I did I swung my arm back as hard as I could to force her to let go I made contact with something hard enough that she let go with a Yelp and I high tailed it to the front of the store to report what happened the employees the manager and security were on their game and they immediately went looking for Karen as soon as I told them what happened and gave a description unfortunately Karen was gone by the time they went looking for her the manager still contacted police and a report was filed I definitely wanted to press charges if I could according to security after I hit the woman's bracelet covered wrist with my closed Fist and ran off she looked really upset and insulted but then she got an oh crap look she started looking around until she looked directly at a camera Karen then grabbed her purse and she sprinted out of the store leaving her cards and groceries behind I guess she wasn't a complete idiot after all and realized how badly she messed up up the manager promised to keep an eye out for her and the police said that they would contact me if needed my hand got bruised from how hard I hit her and she left a line on my neck from trying to choke me my daughter had no idea that anything bad happened she was giggling when I was running her to the front the next day I got a call from the officer I talked to either Karen grew a conscience or someone else forced her to turn herself in because she showed up at the police station the next day looking like a scolded puppy when she got there that was the officer's description the officer asked if I still wanted to press charges and she'd likely get probation or community service I told him that I still want to a part of me does Wonder did she actually feel bad or did her husband or whatever ask her why she didn't have the dog food and forc her to confess or did she just come in so she wouldn't be arrested and she would get a lighter sentence yeah I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty surprised she turned herself in and face the consequences of her actions like grabbing a random person is already bad enough but a hoodie from behind choking the person my goodness like when I was reading the post guys and Opie described that her fist hit something hard I really thought it was going to be Karen's face because self-defense right I was expecting op to say that she knocked some of Karen's teeth out wouldn't that have been something so this happened in 2007 when I was 19 years old so a little information about me firstly I've never worked in retail and I don't have that ingrained sense of customer service second unlike a lot of people I've seen on this thread I do not suffer from anxiety or a fear of Confrontation and third I'm a big man like a very big man I'm a 6'3 300 plus PB black man and this is relevant later I was working overnight for distribution center with a very large online Market who let's call them zazon I was coming off a holiday shift when my mom called and asked me to take her and my aunt to the store to pick up some last minute supplies for their respective holiday dinners I agreed since one I was off the following night and two my mom's cooking is divine so we head to Walmart and they both grab carts and head off now this was some years ago when the push to talk phones were really popular and this is important so as my mom and a are shopping I wander off to the electronics department because I was planning on getting a new laptop as I'm browsing my phone gives off The Telltale chirp when I check it's my mom I chirp back and she says she needs some help in the big Goods aisle I tell her that I am on my way and turn on my heels and start that way as I'm clearing the end of the aisle I hear a low excuse me from the other end of the aisle now I ignore it as mom has summoned me to my sacred Sun Duty I get to my mom and she asked me to load up a couple of 20 lb bags of sugar in her cart as she has a bad back after fulfilling my tasks like the dutiful son that I am I decide to check on my aunt to see if she needs any help I find her a few aisles over at the sodas and being the human forklift that I am I decide to to load them up for her after I'm done I turn to head back for the laptop as I make it to the end of the aisle though a wild Karen appears she looks to be in her 50s now when I say Karen I mean capital k a r e n she's got the haircuts and midnight bright neon green running shoes that I've never seen more than a Brisk power walk as she comes just short of causing my voice to go from tenor to soprano I take a quick step to the side giving a less than enthusiastic sorry and start past because damn it I want my laptop when out of nowhere this lady grabs my arm and she says in a voice that immediately pisses me off Karen says to me now that you're done screwing around in other departments you need to help me now remember this took place in 2007 so I was fully unaware of the I don't work here stories and I'm absolutely confused I'm tired hungry and I really want to get my laptop so being the aspiring a-hole that I am I look at her pull free from her Talons and start to walk away and this was the wrong thing to do Karen lets out a Banshee howl and she starts a string of curses that would make Quenton Tarantino say that was rude so there she is cursing me out and out of nowhere she calls me a lazy nword and she tells me look here you lazy idiot you help those two black but can't be bothered to help me that's the problem with you people you've forgotten your place now by this point I'm absolutely shocked that this woman has the nerve to talk to a total stranger like this when she says the line that clarifies everything Karen says you should be fired people like you shouldn't even be working in this neighborhood the least you can do is try not to be a completely incompetent idiot not that I can expect much from an uneducated stock monkey hearing her say that I'm trying to figure out just how in the hell this psychopath could possibly think that I work here until I remember what exactly I'm wearing I'm wearing 10an cargo pants a blue t-shirt and my blue vest with neon reflective accents now if she had been civil about this I simply would have explained that I don't work for Walmart and I was sorry for the confusion however she wasn't so I wasn't this crazy racist had followed me from electronics and she had seen me help both my mom and my aunt then something that she'd said hadn't registered yet came forward in my mind like a psychotic honey badger the words you help those two black and I'm thinking oh hell no this screeching she beast did not call my mom and aunt it's about to go nuclear Karen says now I need you to stop being so damn lazy and get your ass back to electronics and do your damn job it's at this point her tiate has begun to draw attention and faster than she can recover I stick my finger just shy of her nose and cut her off I then say in my best dead pan tone do I look like I care what you effing need and Karen is stunned almost silent almost she tried to recover and say how dare you talk to a customer like that you need to respect your betters I respond I dare because I don't work here you ignorant racist effing cow my betters I don't know who the f you think you are but if you ever touch me or talk to me like that again I will make damn sure you never do it again by this time a manager and security which in this neighborhood are actual police officers make their way to us and oh boy does it go from nuclear to apocalyptic now as I said I'm a big guy and as you can tell from her TI raade I'm clearly not white and I'm shopping in a predominantly white part of my city since that's where my parents live so as you might guess at first things are not going to go well for me a big black man yelling and intimidating a petite white woman I was almost taken away right then and there however it's Karen who saves me she then turns to the manager and says I want him fired and I will be pressing charges this is no way for an employee to treat a customer the manager then looks at me and immediately realizes that something's not right he asked Karen exactly what happened and then she goes on a fanciful tale she tells him he rudely ignored me in the electronics department to come over here and waste time helping his kind and when I told him that he needed to help me he wouldn't that's when I grabbed his arm to stop him from ignoring me and he assaulted me and he hurt my hand it was at this point that I could see the expressions of the manager and both security guards shift from daggers of hate in my direction to confusion To Grim understanding now this woman who had been following me for at least 15 minutes staring could not have possibly missed the gigantic zazon logo on my back but apparently her Karen Vision was in full effect the store manager says sir could you please explain this behavior and I tell him everything I say to him I came in to do some shopping with my mom and aunt and I had gone to electronics because I want a new computer my mom then called me over to help her out and I also helped my aunt out then as I was heading back to electronics she nearly hit me before clawing at my arm and going on her rant now the entire time I'm putting heavy emphasis on the words Mom and Aunt all the while I'm watching the gears in Karen's head turned and I swear you could see when one of those gears slipped a rod her face goes from beat red and angrily smug to sheet white and shocked although I still don't think she realized that I wasn't an employee she's just starting to realize the relationship I share with the people she insulted Karen doesn't give up however she says to the manager well he shouldn't still be prioritizing family while he's on the clock nor should he be browsing merchandise instead of assisting customers like me the store manager as calmly as possible says to her ma'am this man is not an employee of the store and according to your own words you've assaulted him as well as harassed him Karen says to him then why is he in uniform and carrying a radio that's when I say to her are you that stupid or are you blind did you not see the giant zazon logo on the back the whole time you were following me that's when Karen sputters and says but but the radio I say to her you mean my phone Karen says no your radio the one you got the call on from the other employee I reply the other employee that was my mom that's when the police officer turns to me and says sir would you like to press charges I say to him I do Karen was promptly cuffed and led away and she was crying like a toddler who just found out that Santa wasn't real she was charged with assault and harassment and I was given the option to pursue it as a hate crime due to multiple Witnesses who mentioned her racist statements but I didn't think it was worth it I was able to finish shopping with my family and to make up for the inconvenience the store manager opened a line and rang us up himself and I'm pretty sure we got his employee discount although no one brought it up well that Karen was something else guys and I honestly I'm glad to hear that she was cuff that day after what she did because disgusting Behavior so op he does come back with updates guys and says a lot of people are telling me that I should have pressed on with the hate crime charges especially in times like this I realized that I need to clarify a few things first this is not a recent event this was roughly the summer of 2007 second this Karen came from old money and by old I mean her people didn't just have people they used to own people she wasn't forbs list rich but was still the kind of money that doesn't go to prison third I was 19 and at the time social justice for people like me wasn't a thing yet and finally she was roughly around 4 45 to 50 and if I added hate crime to her list of charges which included assault disturbing the peace public intoxication as I found out later she was drunk and false testimony to a peace officer her potential sentence would have extended from 5 to 10 to 20 to 35 and sorry to disappoint but no one short of a true monster should die in prison uh yeah I don't know Karen came pretty close that day but guys let me know what you think and that my friends brings us to another end of our SL I don't work here lady guys I hope you enjoyed today's stories I hope you didn't shake your heads too hard and if you missed the last episode on the channel it's an r/ malicious compliance episode where a Karen destroys her own car and calls 911 on op and lies and says he did it it's an outrageous story so go check it out if you haven't and myself and Stevie boy will see you guys in the next one we love you
