And entitled Karen and her demon spawn freak out on me after her kid breaks one of our iPads that we use for our business at a bowling alley.

0:07.6

Things got so bad that she literally got herself and her kid banned from the bowling tournament that was going on at the moment,

0:13.9

resulting in one of the greatest forms of karma I've ever seen in my life.

0:17.5

Here's what happened.

0:18.4

So I work in a bowling alley and today we had a very large tournament,

0:21.7

roughly six people on all 40 lanes. At the start of the day, it was nice and quiet until about

0:26.8

two to three hours in. This kid who was maybe 10 to 12 years old that was sat directly in front

0:31.5

of the front counter, had their iPad out and the iPad ran out of battery. Well, the kid lost it at

0:36.4

this point, practically screaming at

0:38.0

his mother to charge it or to play on her phone. But you know what? She clearly didn't care.

0:42.8

She basically told him to sit down and shut up. Now, the kid only did about half of that as he started

0:47.6

walking around the counter. He then noticed the iPad that we have behind the counter, which is

0:51.7

something we used to help keep track of reservations and parties going on in the bowling alley. Well, when he saw our iPad, his face lit up like it was Christmas morning. Now, as I always do, when a kid runs behind the counter, I stop them and I say, whoa, little buddy, you can't be back here. The kid then looked at me, pointed at the iPad, and said, but I want it. But I responded by saying, sorry, little dude,

1:11.1

but that's our important iPad. I can't let you have it. The kid then said to me, oh, okay, and then

1:16.0

walked away. Now, me thinking that was the end of it, I went back to doing my usual stuff for my job,

1:21.2

especially when it comes to having like a tournament going on in our facility. Fast forward to maybe

1:25.2

about five minutes later, and I see out of the corner of my eye, the kid sneaking around the side of the counter and reaching out to the iPad. Once again, I told him he can't have it this time, with a bit more of a strict tone to it, to tell him that I'm serious, with me still looking at him. He reached out more and more until he grabbed it and ran away. Luckily, though, he didn't get far. He ended up tripping

1:44.8

over one of the many ball bags strewn across the floor behind the bowlers. However, and

1:49.0

unfortunately, he landed on the tiled off eating area, smashing the tablet on the ground. Naturally,

1:54.7

the kids started bawling and I rushed over to grab the iPad off the ground, only for some of the

1:58.9

glass to fall out. Well, the mother was definitely

2:01.6

not pleased about any of this. She looked beat red as she hurried over and shouted,
