This week, we have internet worlds colliding on Reddit's "Am I the A$$hole?" thread, featuring a Karen in the wild. Karen's hubby told us all about his wife's latest behavior at a drive-thru. No surprise that Karens love to frequent and make a scene at drive-thrus. After yelling at a poor drive-thru employee and calling the manager to complain about her, OP hubby and his kids went back to explain to the manager that the employee did nothing wrong and tipped the employee. When Karen found out what they did, she was fuming. She grounded her husband, as well as their adult children (who are 18 and 20). We didn't know it was possible to ground three adults, yet here we are. Hubby wants to know if they were in the wrong for going behind her back. Scroll down for more context and let us know what you think in the comments.

    Font - r/AmItheAsshole · Posted by u/aitafastfoodargue 8 hours ago 2 5 4 35 8 9 AITA for going behind my wife's back and doing something that made her mad? I was with my wife and kids earlier today, and we went to the drive through at a fast food place.

    We're so ready for this week's family drama.

    Font - My wife was the driver and I sat next to her as the kids were in the back, and while we were ordering she snapped at the worker taking the order. And in all honesty the young girl did nothing wrong, she only asked questions like "Will that be all for today?" Or "is there anything else I can get for you?" a few times which upset my wife. So she yelled at that worker by saying she was going to take her time to order and that she wasn't helping.

    Another day, another Karen. Nothing out of the ordinary to see here.

    Font - We got there and everything went ok, she didn't see the worker face to face because a guy cashed us out, but on the way home called the store to complain to a manager. My kids and I were all embarrassed by her actions and when we got home we decided to go back for dinner the same day in a few hours, we went in the store and ordered, I talked to the manager and have the girl a tip while we apologized for what my wife said.

    Font - Well my wife ended up finding out because she said she checked my iMessage location and saw we were there and asked what happened and I told the truth. When we got home she grounded our 2 kids (18F & 20M), and said that I wasn't allowed to see my friends or go to my favorite places until she feel we all learned our lesson.

    Product - Her reasoning is that she was putting the worker in their place, and needed to tell them off. She was beyond mad that I did this, which I only did to teach my kids kindness and respect goes for everybody.

    Mammal - Not only did she call me names but my kids too, and saying that worker deserved it. AITA or are we, really for going behind my wife's back knowing she'd possibly be mad?

    Plant - Edit: My wife hasn't really every done anything like this before as far as I am aware. Unless she is alone and my kids aren't there, then we haven't seen it before. She'd complain about workers or people, but I'd never seen her treat them like this.

    Font - Some of the punishments she's issued, is taking the kids Nintendo Switch that they love to play on, limiting their phone usage and personal activities like hanging out with friends. She said I'm not allowed to have my friend over because if I do try it, then she'll kick him out, or call the police if she'd have to.

    Font - I'd really like no further problems, but my kids and I want to stand firm on the fact that she was wrong to treat the workers like that. Basically she's saying that if I try to do anything to retaliate against her she'll punish the kids even more. I was considering sending my kids to my mothers where they won't have to deal with this, but my wife has been moody about this issue and I wouldn't want it to escalate.

    Font - She also hid the kids things away, so even if I try to talk some sense into her, she has control of that and wouldn't when I said to leave them out of it. Our kids also wanted to come too, because they both are very active in important matters (climate change, BLM, etc) and also know what it's like to work in fast food/ customer service so it was this idea we came up with. I wanted to show them that being respectful and understanding is the right thing to do.

    Font - 2nd edit: I have not considered if it was something beyond what was going on, and like some people suggested I have tried to get her to go to therapy or counseling. I was previously in an abusive relationship when I was younger, and although it feels like a similar experience, I definitely won't let my son and daughter be affected or learn the wrong things.

    Font - bisexual_fool · 8h Colo-rectal Surgeon [41] NTA. Also, I hope you all aren't actually listening to her about being grounded. You're all grown adults and she's ridiculous.

    Human body - jverity · 7h NTA, and your wife needs psychiatric help, not just for her obvious anger issues, but for "grounding" three adults, including her husband. WTF?
