Help! I need your worst lockdown story! Your worst Karen interaction!
Thanks for all the tips on industry-specific craziness from the lockdowns. If you have ANOTHER example post in as a reply here.
Now… I have 2 more requests.
I want to know your worst lockdown story. How did it impact you? How is it still impacting you? Good, bad, or indifferent - I want it all. Or do you have a favorite lockdown story you can link to? The paddle-boarder getting arrested or the Venice beach skate park getting filled in with sand? Reply below!
I want to know your ultimate Karen story? Who confronted you? How? What was your reaction? Do you have video? Do you have a favorite study you can link to?
I sequestered for the next few days but I’m trying to get as much as I can in the hopper! Help a writer out?!

My family and I were up skiing and we were sitting on the gondola (enclosed chair lift). This woman steps up and as she's loading on the gondola (which is slowly moving with the doors about to close). She loudly says "everyone in here is vaccinated, RIGHT?!". As the doors closed and she took her seat, I looked her in the eye and said, "no, my son and I are not vaccinated". Of course the doors were already closed. She looked at me horrified and I spent the entire ride up the mountain fake coughing. Not nice, but oh so satisfactory.
My worst Karen story ...
I live in Washington outside of Seattle. I was in the Safeway without a a mask - I never wear one but this day a Karen got in my grill. She told me I had a wear a mask ... I said .. " Oh, you are so right .. I mean, I know I graduated from medical school in 1991, and finished one residency in 1995 and another in 1997, and then completed my Fellowship in 1998, which means I have been a practicing medicine for about 25 years .. so I have what we call a MEDICAL EDUCATION, whereas you have what we call an ' opinion ', which, if you really think about it, is sort of like a ASSHOLE because everybody has one. So.... medical education versus asshole ... you know, come to think , I am going to go with my medical education ! Have a nice day, Karen ! "
At this point I got a several Safeway customers clapping. When she was frustrated at my refusing to me bullied she went and got a Safeway clerk who informed her it wasn't his job to enforce it !
Never wore a mask in the store ... never forget what terrible things people can make you do if you agree to let them !
