| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen demands that she be allowed to cut in line at the grocery store, |
| 0:04.5 | claiming that she's in a big hurry and she deserves to be in front of everybody else. |
| 0:08.6 | But when she doesn't get her way, she has a public meltdown in a way that I've honestly never seen before in my life. |
| 0:14.9 | Here's what happened. |
| 0:15.8 | Okay, so I was at Kroger yesterday buying some groceries. |
| 0:19.0 | There were only two checkout lanes open, and it was around |
| 0:21.5 | 5 o'clock p.m., so the afternoon rush was in full swing, and both lines were about 8 to 10 people |
| 0:26.9 | long. I was in line for one checkout lane, and some mid-30s guy was in the checkout lane next to me. |
| 0:32.2 | He was the last one in his line, and I was second to last in my line. A woman got in line behind me who looked to be about |
| 0:38.1 | 70 years old and you know when you meet someone where you just get a sense that they're kind of a |
| 0:42.3 | jerk? Well, this lady was one of those types. She pushed her cart right up behind me, made a few |

| 0:54.7 | all shuffling forward as the line moves up. The guy who is in front of the older woman is now next |
| 0:59.7 | in line for his lane once the person in front of him finishes. And it's right about then that she |
| 1:04.3 | starts spouting off her garbage. I hear the woman say to the man, excuse me, I'm in a big hurry. Would it be all right if I just went in front of you? |
| 1:11.8 | While she was saying this, she moved her cart up alongside his, grabbed the front of his cart, |
| 1:16.5 | and began to push the cart out of the way so she could get in front of him. Well, the guy looks at her |
| 1:21.4 | without saying anything. He grabs the handle of his cart so that she can't push it any further to the side, and takes a step forward so the |
| 1:28.2 | front half of his cart is now between the two drink coolers on either side of the lane, so her |
| 1:32.6 | cart can't fit alongside his. And then he goes back to looking straight ahead without saying a word. |
| 1:38.0 | And when he did this, this entitled Karen lost her mind. She started loudly demanding that he let |
| 1:43.2 | her go in front of him, saying that she |
