And now we have Costco “Kyle.”

Notice how he claims to feel threatened. Isn’t that what the woman who called the cops on the Central Park bird watcher claimed in the widely viewed video? Seems like the new excuse for being aggressive to someone. The new “I was standing my ground.”

People that feel "threatened" by a phone are a bit, shall we say "touched." I don't know it was an employee approaching him... but I did note that everyone else in the area had masks.

You are assuming that he actually felt threatened. I’m not going to make excuses for people who get called out for flaunting simple rules.

Yup, more videos like this will start popping up everywhere. Devolution...

"Ken?"

genec

True. But he was jerk enough to yell for no reason. More than anything he was the one being threatening.

Funny, not sure how to word it... but I almost want to wear a shirt that says:
"You don't want to wear a mask; I don't want to wear pants. Deal with it, as I pee on your leg."

Costco Kyle was shouting at a 76 year old woman. He felt threatened? Riiiight!

His insurance company employer has fired him. Hope he’s happy now. Freedom isn’t free.

I'm mostly looking forward to when the internet moves on from the Karen expression. It's was never not tiresome.

My wife's first name is Debbie, and she's just glad that Karens have taken over from Debbie Downer as an internet meme.

I agree completely. Just what the world needs, another shorthand way to insult people and shut down meaningful conversation.

But having to remember only two names is sooooo much easier. I’ll be sticking with Karen and Kyle.

Walmart is now going to require masks. That should spawn a new wave of Karen videos.

They've already become a meme factory. A well-earned distinction, in their case.

Likely to get worse, as you point out.

Well, there are worse things than yet another reason to disregard WalMart.

I thought is was "Karen" and "Karl"? My wife's cousin Karen thinks the naming is hilarious BTW (she's Canadian).

himespau 

I've always seen Kyle or Ken (occasionally Chad) not Karl. Chad is also a negative name used by incels, so there may be some crossover when people use that name.

Here's more for the tally,...

This thread reminds me of my father in laws second wife. Before there was the term "Karen" she was a Karen. Totally nuts. Shot and killed a guy in a dispute and got away with it. FYI, don't mess with Karens.

I think I will start screaming, I own worn out t-shirts and I have a $10 Timex if the local ma and pa shop runs out of beef jerky

Now you have me searching my memory bank the determine if I have ever dated a Karen.

My first love was a Karen. Haven't seen her in many decades but I'm quite she isn't of that type. So I always cringe when I hear it.

The "I feel threatened" is a coded way of threatening to shoot someone. It arose after the stand your ground defense became a thing.

RubeRad

My first girlfriend was a Karen, and I knew a couple other nice Karens and remember actually saying in college 'I never met a karen I didn't like"

Hondo Gravel

Karens! the reason I’m single I could tell Karen stories with a keg of beer until dawn. I will spare everyone the misery. Bad luck?
probably. My own fault? maybe. A combination both? probably The propensity to be wild and free? Yes that is it!
