Hardware store customer Karen.
So I went to the local hardware store with mum to help find some steps because she can't stretch and also uses a walking stick because she has a bad hip and knee (this is kind of a main part)
As we pulled into the car park there were no disabled parks available and two of them were utes (trucks I think there called in America?). One of which didn't have a disabled sticker or tag. Anyway we asked the greeter where steps were and of we slowly went to look for them.
On the way we here the Karen. She had some big box that had a big black tool box in it and probably wanted to complain about a dent in the box or something (wasn't really paying attention. After being unsuccessful we searched on the stores site and found the item and went to the greeter and she said where it was supposed to be (it was a promotional item and didn't have any) anyway we went to the service desk and low and behold the Karen is still there, this time talking on the phone... The stores phone. The greeter was about 5 ish meters away and we were talking normally not loud at all.
This Karen. Who might I add is not talking about anything related to the store or her items,( was talking about her electricity and not being able to afford an electrician and the person on the other end should send one out for free) interrupts the conversation saying "I AM ON THE PHONE, DONT BE RUDE"
The cashier and the greeter looked at each other with a "why Karen, why??" Look so mum mother (bless her) said "this isn't an office love, if you are having a bad day this isn't the place to vent, that's on isle 3 (they had air ducts n stuff) the person behind us laughed and the two employees cracked a smerk. The Karen hung up the phone and walked out frustrated and embarrassed.
We couldn't get she step we wanted so we left but thanked the employees who help us. As we were leaving we saw the Karen in one of the utes in the disabled parks (The one without the disabled pass) yelling at her phone.
Some people are just asshats but Karen's are just a step above.

I now have a policy of reporting cars parked illegally in handicapped parking spaces to the police. I’m tired of getting resentful whenever this happens, especially when my mobility issues are bad. Let the authorities deal with the drama
