Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 This thread is created to check in with your fellow P&Bers about anything you’ve done which you feel is it risk of being in Karen territory. Past history suggests that the community will be kind, but honest in appraising your behaviour. I’ll start. Am I a Karen because I asked two folk to sit down at a gig? That sentence in itself doesn’t look great. But for context, they were the only ones standing up in this seating section and they blocked the view of the entire stage. Plus, two tickets cost us just under £200. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you you start filming them, as you screamed at them they were destroying your life whilst threatening to call to the Police, Security, the PM , your dad and a lawyer to sue for breaching your civil rights and causing you mental torture. Being a Karen is not the situation it is the method of dealing with the situation. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Like Boomers being known by for their selfishness by their descendants, it occurred to me recently that GenX are the Karen generation and that's how we'll eventually be remembered; a bunch of entitled, screaming harpies. I wonder if there's a manager I can talk to about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably didn't even register that they were doing anything in the least wrong here. We seem to be living in the Age of Entitlement. You did the right thing. I trust they took it in good stead with just chuntering under their breath and you've not posted this from the hospital, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there's a manager I can talk to about this. I don't think it has anything to do with generations, entitled arseholes have always been with us. The internet unfortunately gives them more attention than they deserve. Sometimes its just someone have a bad day or a stupid out of character moment, but then you get that person who has learned through experience that not being pulled up for their c***ish behaviour allows them to get what they want knowing that the majority of people won't confront them. So they keep doing it. And when someone challenges them they play victim or throw a massive tantrum or both. Swift truncheon to face territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just crazy to me this complete lack of self-awareness that exists nowadays. Then, by saying that, I think “ok boomer”. Damned if you do… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the people that decide to stop and chat in group just next to the bus stop, their chatting circle now completely blocking the pavement, To the group walking 5 a breast down the pavement towards you expecting you to walk in the gutter, To the folk that gather round doors of trains and buses trying to get on and blocking you from getting off To the idiots that would rather weave down the pavement staring at their phone rather than looking where they are going To the clowns that inflict their noise on buses, trains and open spaces as they don't believe in earphones for their private noise in public spaces Don't start me on the ways others in pubs annoy. And everyone else that gets in the way of just quietly getting from A to B and doing my thing without disturbing others or being disturbed., Please learn SPATIAL AWARENESS. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
