'This time I tried kicking the flag to try and salvage the situation': Woman shares hilarious and truly embarrassing scouting story

One Twitter user shared her hilarious patriotism fail from many years ago. Basically, the story goes that the user, Kate, who goes by the handle @mcmansionh***, had one sacred duty as a scout. All she had to do was fold an American flag as gently and carefully as possible. She and the other scouts viewed this as a very sacred honor…but she kept accidentally messing up each time she tried her hand at flag folding!

Folks in the comments really resonated with this tale. Apparently around this time period, American patriotism was having a true moment, and lots of people remembered clearly. Check out Kate's excellent tale of accidental anarchism below! 

Then check out this long read about the Ultimate Karen, who believes she literally owns an apartment building even though she's in fact just a tenant.
