I agree completely. It’s annoyed me ever since it became an Internet thing. I know perfectly sensible Karens, including a gun owner and hunter whom I’d rather associate with than many other people I can think of.

Using the word to refer to a particular type of disreputable individual is simply intellectual laziness and no different than racial or ethnic slurs. How about “entitled individual” or, if you must because it’s more satisfying, “entitled woman”?

She had the right to remain silent…..But not the ability.

Now maybe we can stay on topic. Thread title changed.

I work downtown and my wife used to drive down and park where I work the we'd take the local mass transit to a couple of different restaurants. About 1/2 the time there would be some drunk assholes that thought it was time to fight the transit cops because those cops weren't "real" cops. Every time the drunk fucks got forced to the floor, cuffed, and hauled off (looked painful). We've stopped dining "downtown". We have seen this shit go down more than a few times at airports. In my drinking days it would never have entered my mind to pick a fight with a gate agent or a cop, especially a cop. I've never seen anyone win that battle.

With a woman acting out like that, be blacklisted from flying on commercial flights? I have been told that once one airline company blacklists a passenger, they others put that passenger on their list as well.

How bad does someone have to screw up, to be blacklisted?

Oh, you guys who didn't watch to the end. You're missing out when she actually pees on herself.

Two years ago I found some clearly stolen property in the neighborhood park and called for an officer to come take custody of said property. Someone had been shooting fireworks off in the area and this guy on a bike in a buttoned up tucked in polo shirt, tan dress shorts, black socks and sandals was walking around with his hands on his hips. The fireworks had stopped for a while and he wandered off in a huff.

The officer arrived and I waved to him over. He asked if I was the caller on the fireworks, I told him no, the stolen bike and property. He asked if I'd seen anyone else who might have been the fireworks caller.

My response was "well, there was a middle aged guy here dressed and acting like the male version of a Karen"

I felt bad as the cop laughed so hard he choked on his coffee as he blew it out his nose and all over his uniform, steering wheel, windshield, computer, etc. His partner lost it as well and made some comment about it being the statement of the day....

Kinda proud of that.

You win the internet for the day! That was funny.

Hey, what happened to "Karen"?

We had a cow named "Becky." Best milk in the whole herd. All the other cows' milk was sold to the dairy co-op, but we kept Becky's milk for household use.

I will be flying out west to see my kid later this year. I am dreading the flying bus experience.

What do you want to bet that at least one comment will include the phrase "... not a surprise as big of a hitch as she was around here every day..."

American Airlines passenger, 44, who berated cops, mocked their penis size then wet herself after slugging 'very full vodkas' in airline longue 'was a bully who got so drunk on work trips colleagues had to CARRY her home'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...-Killian-arrest.html

Angela Killian, 44, was barred from Dallas-Fort Worth to Colombia flight

Staff claimed she hit them with her phone and police were called to arrest her

Employees told DailyMail.com that Killian frequently went on weeklong overseas business trips for the company, where she drank heavily.

'I wasn’t surprised by the video I saw given her behavior when she travels, and she’s a heavy drinker in general. I’ve had to personally escort her to her hotel room on many occasions,' one colleague who traveled with her many times said.

They said on several occasions they had to drag, carry, or wheel her in a chair back to her hotel room because she wasn't able to walk.

Killian was also said to be a 'bully' who would make life difficult at work for those not in her in-group, who didn't have the authority or backbone to stand up to her.

Capital One did not respond to requests for comment. It is unclear whether it knew the full story of Killian's behavior before the bodycam footage was released.
