High School Stories

Karen

Year: Senior

Columbus Day was coming up, and for some reason, our school decided to give us a five-day weekend. When we got out of school on that Wednesday, I went to go pick my friend Taylor up since she was going to be spending that Thursday and Friday with me.

On Friday, we decided to go to Party City. While we were there, Taylor found this Lady Deadpool costume she wanted to try on, while I found some stuff too. There were only two changing rooms, and you can't go in the bathroom with a product or else the alarm will go off (or something like that), and we didn't want to change in front of each other, so we each took a room.

So I go in there, take my clothes off, try the stuff on, see how I look, and then change back. I opened the door, and see Taylor sitting on the chair, wearing the Lady Deadpool costume. Then there's this lady, who is super pissed at us for not sharing a room. Well sorry for wanting our privacy.

So Karen is with her young kids (now that I look back on it I think she was their aunt), and she is just outright harassing me and Taylor. She and her nieces and nephews go into one of the changing rooms, and I say to Taylor, "What the fuck is her problem?"

Karen. Goes. Nuts. She storms out of the room and says to Taylor, "How dare you swear, especially in front of them! You're a child too, you know!" Uh, no she wasn't, Karen. She was fifteen and a sophomore, so, she can swear if she wants.

Anyway, at that point, I had just had enough of Karen bullying us. So as she was scolding Taylor, I went up to the front counter to report her. I'm not sure what they did with her, but I'll say, I feel pretty sorry for the kids she was with.
