Train Passenger Takes Petty Revenge On Karen Who Uses Their Seat To Put Their Bag On
Entitlement: A Contagious Affliction with Far-reaching Consequences.
When one’s psyche becomes impervious to admitting fault, a troubling malady has taken hold: the toxic affliction known as “entitlement.” This pernicious condition distorts rationality, rendering accurate judgments elusive. Identifying an individual afflicted with entitlement is as simple as recognizing the erratic and erroneous actions that ensue. Curiously, such individuals steadfastly deny wrongdoing even as they commit it. Dealing with a “Karen” – a moniker fittingly attributed to such individuals – necessitates either begrudging compliance or recourse to minor retribution, all in the pursuit of imparting a lasting lesson. Yet, this lesson is but a fleeting impact against the reinforced walls of their ego, perpetuating the cycle of entitlement.
The narrative takes us to a Reddit user, u/Zulera301, who found themselves entangled with a Karen during a train journey. The seat reserved for OP was instead commandeered by Karen to serve as a platform for her bag. A confrontation, mediated by a train attendant, diffused the initial conflict. However, this episode kindled within OP a desire for a subtler form of retribution.
Witness the unfolding events as recounted by u/Zulera301:
