Ever notice that Karens are hypocritical?

Then this post will seem an example of a Karen. Maybe.

Keep reading to see who the Karen is or if they both are.

I’ll shush you back, only better

I was at an annual social/fundraiser event for a group I was active with.

Nothing super fancy. A polo shirt was fancy enough.

Nothing super expensive. My ticket was probably $30 or so and even included a meal.

But something else was more entertaining.

We were all sitting at round tables.

There was a speaker who was droning on, so I started whispering comments to my friend who was sitting next to me.

I kept getting shushed by the old lady at the next table.

Eventually I ran or of things to say so I stopped talking.

Then an opportunity arose.

But then, this same lady had the audacity to whisper something to her neighbor.

She was no louder than I was, but I shushed her so loudly that she didn’t say another word until the speaker was done talking.

Here is what folks are saying.

THIS. I don’t know why people think boredom is an excuse for rudeness.

He sounds like a moody teenager.

Maybe it was during a ballad?

I somehow doubt that, but you can dream.

That’s not a pun, but okay.

The speaker should have paused and stared at them.

What a couple of jerks.
