My first American Karen encounter in Germany 👀
First of all, would you agree that if you see a car from quite a distance standing still in front of a roundabout, you should brake before hitting it to avoid an accident?

Well, we were sitting on the bus, and the driver had been driving aggressively the whole way because he was running late. As we were nearing said roundabout, I noticed a car standing there from quite a distance. That would have been the moment to slow down and observe the situation, but the bus driver just kept going which made me nervous, I was just about to say yell stop, what are you doing?! When he performed an extremely hard braking maneuver to avoid hitting the car. Everyone in the bus fell off their seats…

The "Karen" (who had been staring at her phone the entire time) immediately yelled: "Da fuuuq… da fuq was that…?! Why is that stupid bitch standing at a roundabout?! Stupid bitch!!”

I tried telling her to calm down and that it was the bus drivers fault. He could have stopped or drive more cautiously, that I had seen the car from afar…. I couldn't even finish my sentence before she screamed at me: "NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! You have no business standing in front of a roundabout!!! You have to move!!!"
At that point, the bus driver was arguing with the car driver, who explained that his car had completely broken down just 30 seconds ago.

I asked the Karen to "caaaalm doown" and asked her again: "If you saw a car standing there from a distance, wouldn’t you brake?" She just yelled back: "THE RULES ARE SAYING WHEN YOUR CAR BREAKS DOWN, TURN ON YOUR EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR MOVE THE CAR AWAY!"
I told her she was right, but that the car had literally just stopped working. She continued to ignore what I said and kept screaming. In that moment, I lost it myself... I know, shame on me, it wasn’t worth it.

I yelled at her to stop screaming and told her that people like her should start using logic while driving instead of driving around blindly, expecting "perfect rule book behavior" and endangering people just because they feel entitled not to stop due to a missing emergency light. I pointed out that she had no context whatsoever because she’d been staring at her phone with earplugs in the whole time while I was the one observing everything, because I was sitting at the right window side.

Yeah, she didn’t even listen…, just kept yelling as she got off the bus...

Blond Hair, shoulder length, around 50, crazy face while yelling, not listening at all… she looked and behaved exactly like in the YouTube videos…. I was amazed to say the least…..
