What is one of your worst Karen experiences?
I was driving Lyft on a really hot day. I responded to a call about ten minutes away. I turned the A/C on half way to cool up the car.
When I stopped at…Karen's house, I noticed that she had 3 people with her. Everybody got in the car, traded pleasantries, and we drove off.
Karen sat up front with me.
Less than a minute down the street, Karen gets entitled and starts messing around with my radio and air conditioning. Let's look at that again. Karen somehow assumed that she was in charge of my car. I snapped.
Me: “ What in the FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!”
Karen: “It's hot in here!” (cranks my A/C)
Me: “I don't give a shit! Just for that, we're riding on fire. No air conditioning! Keep your hands off my shit!”
Everyone got silent. I wanted to kick everyone out. But that's when I noticed that she was pregnant. Quite pregnant.
(sigh) You don't send a pregnant woman to the side of the road in 90° weather. I was very conflicted. Man, what a tough ride that was.
For the record, I don't usually react to situations like that. She really mashed some nerves. I was so beside myself that, as soon as she stormed off, I couldn't stop myself from reporting her.
In the defense of you riders, she was a rare, worst case scenario deal. I'd say I averaged getting good people in my ride 95% of the time. And in my defense, I could've handled it better and my rating shows that I probably have in the past.
Okay bye.
