Nothing is more satisfying than a Karen getting what they deserve. Whether it was 100% karma from the universe or you helping the karma along, boy does it feel good. Recently, a person shared a story on Reddit about how they put in the effort and then karma did the rest. And by karma we mean the male Karen this person encountered simply kept digging his own grave. 

OP lives in an area that they describe as being not very open minded. They write that they don't fall into the societal's standards of "normal." OP writes that they aren't part of the religion most popular around town and their religion requires they wear a veil, they also need to use a cane, and they choose to appear gender neutral. In OP's mostly-closed-minded town, you can understand how this might not go over so smoothly. During this story, OP worked at a gas station and was notorious for being able to handle the Karens who came around at night—in particular, a very rude boomer male-Karen delivery man. Their interactions were never cordial, but they usually didn't amount to anything hostile. Until one night when the Karen delivery guy must have been having an extra bad night, because he decided to let all his bigotry come out on this man. He got berated for five straight minutes while this Karen boomer spewed hateful comments about OP's appearance. OP simply stood there because, something that Boomers tend to forget, the camera's were capturing it all. OP made the two-hour effort to call this delivery man's HR and report what had just happened. It became such a big deal that the CEO of the company called them back to apologize. 

A month later OP finds out that this delivery guy keeps trying to spread rumors about OP, but instead, the boomer keeps making himself look bad and digging his own grave deeper and deeper. Read the entire story below!

    Font - So I was debating whether to post this here. Because my friend said that petty revenge is only meant for things that go further than what's justified. And what I did was not only fully justified, but majority of it was caused by him trying to get back at me and digging a deeper hole for himself.

    Font - So at my last job at an overnight gas station I was used to dealing with a lot. I'm a small guy who's gender can be read as almost anything. Man, woman, sometimes I get called an it by others and I don't care. For this story what's relevant is I wear a religious hair covering called a veil. I'm not Muslim and men do wear a veil in my religion. Along with my cane that I have as a disabled man.

    Font - I had a guy at this job who delivered the newspapers. He was always really rude but nothing to write home about typically. But eventually he decides to take his shitty work day out on me. Screaming at me for wearing a pirate costime(my veil plus the collapsible cane on my belt ontop of my work uniform). For 5 straight minutes. I stand there quietly through it.

    Font - What he doesn't know is I'm not just someone who will roll over and let him do what he wants. I was put on the overnights because I could handle the kind of situations that arise on my own. I had people coming in trying to buy a prostitute because of a previous worker there that had caused a lot of issues for the company. I could handle that I can handle an old Boomer that doesn't like my clothes.

    Font - So he leaves. And leaves the papers he came to deliver. With his company phone number attached. After work I call the number. Get passed around the office to about 6 people to make the report over 2 hours. Find out that the number had actually connected me to the partner company than the one he works for. Get transfered to the other company. The one he actually works for.

    Font - Tell them that I was yelled at for 2 separate legally protected classes and that it was on camera. That night he was supposed to come apologize. Instead he calls his ceo who he knows personally to complain about me. This guy is upper middle class as it's a smaller company he's not calling a millionaire or anything. But the ceo

    Font - knows how badly it could go for his company that his employee is on camera screaming at an autistic, physically disabled worker for wearing religious hair covering while on the clock. So I get my apology. From the ceo of this small delivery business instead.

    Font - Months later I find out he's trying to trash my reputation by saying I run to hr at the drop of the hat. But I've built a reputation of handling shit myself. In very bad situations. So his attempts just make everyone think he sexually harassed me. I never claimed that he did and still don't. But the way he was talking about me is what made people assume.

    Font - I'm at a better job now. I'm writing this post while on break from the hospital. Gonna wrap this up and go see if anyone needs any blankets or pillows. I'm just a housekeeper for now but I'll work my way up. And he's still working for the old company trashing his reputation.

    Font - renegadewilson OP - 11 hr. ago Thank you. But this truly wasn't a big deal by my last job's standards. It just happened over and over and I got sick of it and could do something about it.

    Font - dorkpho3nix 10 hr. ago I dont know why this whole situation is so satisfying, but it is. I don't want anyone to burn in hell, ( in this situation. ) I just hope they all, slowly... dry out spit roast style. Like American 7-11 hot dogs, who sit on the rollers for to long.
