There's nothing like a ruthless Karen at a gas station getting exactly what she deserves! These days, there are only a few instances in which human decency can go a long way in general interactions. Most of the time, these instances involve behavior in long lines. When everyone is waiting for quite some time, people can get impatient, and when patience is tested, that's when the Karens reveal themselves in their truest form.

 

Here, we have a Karen who asked this Redditor if she could use the air pump first because she only had one tire to fill up. However, OP had been waiting for a long time and kindly requested if she would wait in the back of the line. She muttered something under her breath as she rolled her window back up. One would think the encounter ended right then and there, but Karen was not having it. As soon as the driver of the car in front of them was on his way, Karen swooped right in and cut off OP. Not only was this incredibly rude, but it was also incredibly unsafe. However, OP found a way to get back at her. He wound up using the adjacent air pump and filled up his car in such a way that blocked the lady from leaving any time soon. We hope that this ruined the rest of Karen's day.

    Font - Don't want to wait your turn? Now you wait ten minutes. On mobile, forgive my textwall. This happened to me last night. I got in my car to pick up my girlfriend and my tire pressure light came on. I have a 12v air compressor in my backseat but it's loud and fills sort of slowly, so I opted to drive to the local wawa.

    Font - (For those who don't have Wawa, it's like if 7/11 got sober and went to college.) Wawa's air pumps are free to use which usually means there are at least a few cars lined up, but when I pulled in there was only one other car. Score. I pulled behind the guy filling his tires and an older gentleman in a BMW pulled in behind me. After about 3 minutes a woman in a brand new Lexus pulls up directly next to me and puts her window down. "I only have to fill one tire, do you mind if I go in front

    Font - She muttered something while rolling her window up and I put up mine. About a minute later the guy at the pump was done. He backs up and before I can even put my car in gear Lexus woman pulls her car in front of mine diagonally, blocking me from pulling into the spot, and then pulls straight in after th first guy has moved. She climbs out of her car and gives me the MOST INFURIATING little wave.

    Font - At this point my anger gives way to a ninja-like calm, and I know exactly what must be done. I pull my car forward and stop ~6 inches from her rear bumper. The air pump is in the corner of the lot, so Lexus woman has a curb in front of her, a curb to her right (where the pump is), an open spot to her left,

    Font - and now my dirty car right behind her brand new one. She is busy filling her tire and doesn't notice that I've pulled right up to her car. I step out of my car, grab my air compressor from the back seat and start setting it up to fill my tire. Mr. BMW, who has remained completely still and silent, sees what I'm doing and asks if I can fill his tires too. I say "of course" and motion for him to park in the empty spot to Lexuslady's left. As soon as he pulls in she notices what's happening

    Font - face beet red and little flecks of spittle popping out from between her cigarette teeth as she calls me all sorts of names. I calmly say "Ma'am, I only have one tire to fill. You don't mind, do you?". Mr. BMW is absolutely loving this, and as I finish my tire and move to fill his she starts up again. "You motherf piece of holes etc.". I finish Mr. BMW's tire and he thanks me for my help, climbs in his car and pulls away grinning. I wrap my compressor up nicely, pick a good song, and set m
