| 0:00.0 | An entitled Karen attacks my bartender friend, claiming that he had stolen her credit card and that she was going to sue him if he didn't give it back. |
| 0:07.9 | But after watching her scream at my friend about these obvious lies, I decided that enough was enough, |
| 0:13.4 | choosing right then and there to put this Karen in her place in a way that she will never forget for the rest of her life. |
| 0:19.1 | Okay, to start things out for a bit of context, |
| 0:21.4 | I work a high-stressed job that involves a fair amount of direct confrontation. Before that, |
| 0:25.9 | I worked as a bartender for five years, so my empathy is higher for those working in hospitality, |
| 0:31.2 | especially post-COVID. Furthermore, my childhood wasn't great, so I have some anger issues, |
| 0:36.4 | but my awesome wife made me go to therapy. |
| 0:38.8 | I can't thank her enough as it has helped me tremendously, and I would recommend it to anybody. |
| 0:43.3 | My local bar is about a quarter mile from my house, so I walked over after a really frustrating |
| 0:48.1 | day, and I sat down for a drink to unwind. The bartender and I have been friends for a few years now, and I could tell that he was |
| 0:54.5 | stressed out. The bar is in a U-shape, and on the other side from where I'm sitting is this drunken |
| 0:59.5 | Karen and her sad husband in their early 60s. She is visibly intoxicated, loud, and very obnoxious. |
| 1:06.3 | Her husband looks like this isn't the first time this has happened, and has fully given up on |
| 1:10.8 | controlling the beast. |
| 1:12.0 | I'm checking the news on my phone and I'm sipping whiskey when I hear this awful Karen start to scream. |
| 1:17.2 | She starts to yell out, no, I gave you my card and if you don't have it, then you must have stolen it. |
| 1:22.7 | I glance up and I see that Karen is now standing and pointing at the bartender menacingly. |
| 1:27.4 | Now the husband is sitting with his head staring at the bartender menacingly. Now, the husband is |
| 1:28.2 | sitting with his head, staring at the bar, trying to look as small as possible. The bartender is not one |
| 1:33.6 | who deals with direct conflict very well, and really is a very easy-going, sweet guy. He says, |
| 1:38.9 | ma'am, again, you gave me your business card, not your credit card, and I cannot charge anything |
