In the presence of a Karen in the wild. Shows up for her pedicure appointment fifteen minutes late and is yelling across the salon that she’s in a hurry and is upset that the chairs are full and she has to wait.
She is in a hurry after all. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">
They seated her beside me and now her boyfriend has joined her. The salon has loaded their colour choices on their website to avoid sharing those colour selection thinks and Karen is NOT having it.
After asking theee times for the colour wheel things, and being denied, she has decided not to get a colour because “This is effing ridiculous.”
Boyfriend: “Its COVID times.” and shrugs.

(She is NOT impressed with him now either)
Things she’s said to the nail tech in last 5 minutes:
The water is too cold, can you fix that?
Why are you filing so hard? Don’t do that.
I don’t know what you’re even saying to me.
I don’t like the smell of this, is there something different you can use that doesn’t smell bad?
She’s a treat. Her tech had to go answer the phone so she yells across the salon “I’ll just wait here I guess.”
Her boyfriend mutters something to her and she says “We. Had. An. Appointment.”
She’s asking about the colour swatch wheels again. “Do all salons do this now? Why not put them on the wall?”
She said she needed to use the washroom and then got up and walked over the polishes so she could pick a colour.

Clever Karen, but we knew you didn’t have to pee.
She chose a colour after all. Couldn’t see what it was because I moved to the nail desk. I did however, get to hear that it wasn’t what she thought it was and didn’t want that one anymore.
She made the nail tech take it off her whole foot. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦‍♀️" title="Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht">
On their way out, they passed me and I heard her tell her boyfriend he wasn’t allowed to leave a tip for this shit experience. He handed her the card and walked out.

No joke, she didn’t know the pin. She screamed across the parking lot “Is it 2734? Is it? I don’t know.”
I hate that people like this exist.

On our way out, I think I’ll tip all three techs. Mine, my daughters and Karen’s.

Unreal.
