'You're younger than us, so you should stand': Two Karens intimidate a disabled girl on an overbooked bus; compassionate conductor moves her up to First Class

Invisible disabilities, entitled people, and public transportation DO NOT MIX. Unless a disabled person is visibly crippled or maimed in some way, some folks simply don't believe that they're actually in need of special treatment. And nobody knows how to cause a scene over special treatment quite like a gaggle of Karens. In this story, a pair of rogue Karens were insanely insensitive to two people that everyone should show respect to in public: elderly and disabled people.

Literally the first thing you learn in the rules of politeness when you're a youngster is that you should be cool to old ladies and people who have a tougher life than you, but in this case, these Karens apparently never learned their manners. A disabled girl in her late 20's was taking a Greyhound bus a long distance to visit family, so she booked a seat for herself knowing that her seizures were less likely to occur if she was seated and relaxed. The girl wore a lanyard that claimed she was disabled, had her seizure cat with her, and tried to do her best to ensure a smooth ride. Everything changed when the two Karens spotted her sitting in 'their' seat.

With the bus overbooked and many forced to ride without a seat, the ultimate stand off took place between some skeptical Karens and the disabled girl. Scroll to read on about the full encounter, which ends in a triumphant victory for the disabled passenger and a walk of shame for the Karens. The manners police are definitely going to send Karma their way.
