An entitled Karen tries to steal my tablet, claiming that she deserved it so she could give it to her kid.

And when I said no, she had the audacity to get the police involved, just to try and claim that the tablet was hers.

But I wasn't having it, so I ended up putting a right in her place.

Here's what happened.

So I'm a 33 year old male, and I'm an ELA teacher based in China for the last three and a half years.

First, a little bit of information before I get to the story.

There is a bit of a pay gap between foreign and Chinese teachers.

It's also a well-known fact, but only the most opportunistic ones like to capitalize on it from time to time.

If you're not careful, it can be anything from charging more at stands,

two on the rarest of rare occasions,

gilting them into complying.

Trust me, it has happened, and those select few are not apologetic about it in the slightest.

Now onto the story.

It was the Chinese New Year, and I was on the train to a city to visit a friend.

I had my very expensive tablet out, and I was watching some Final Fantasy VII Advent children

when suddenly I felt something nudging against me.

I looked down to see a kid, maybe an elementary school kid, trying to look at the movie.

So I turned off my Bluetooth, and I turned the tablet on to him so that he can watch.

It sounds weird, but being a teacher here, you kind of get used to it.

Anyways, he was really immersed, and though I couldn't understand him,

I could tell that he was enjoying it a lot.

He was trying to talk to me, but his English was not very good, and my Chinese was worse.
