Pregnancy is intense. You gain 50lbs, your feet swell, your back hurts, and strangers are always trying to touch your belly– but what a lot of people forget is particularly exhausting, is that you have to carry on with regular life anyways! So even though you're a walking, talking baby factory, life goes on. Fortunately, in Canada, they have ways to alleviate some of the discomfort of pregnancy, by allotting a few closer parking spots for expectant mothers that are closer to the store entrances, similar to handicapped parking. 

It's a small token of empathy, but a huge deal to pregnant mothers in their third trimester. It would be a shame if someone were to steal that from them…

In this case, our story starts in a grocery store parking lot in Canada. 7 months pregnant and about ready to pop, an expectant mother makes her way to the special parking spot only to get swooped by a middle-aged woman. After parking at the end of the lot and waddling into the store, the middle-aged woman has the audacity to approach the pregnant lady, laughing about how she stole the parking spot. 

Scroll for the full story on how this entitled Karen took things way too far, confronting the pregnant woman, bashing the sanctity of the 'expectant mother' parking spots, and finally making her cry right there in the Loblaws Supermarket. For more stories where the villain gets vanquished, check out this story of a shopper who gets pressured by an irate person trying to pressure him for his spot– petty revenge ensues.

    Font - Hey there this happened yesterday at my local Loblaws. Most grocery stores here in Canada have a few "expectant mother's" parking spaces that are intended for pregnant women, or parents with babies to use. They are generally closer to the door usually beside the handicapped spaces or cart carrel.

    Font - I am currently 7 months pregnant and was following a Lexus into the parking lot and I planned to use one of these spaces, the Lexus ahead of me took this space. I didn't think much of it and parked about 4-5 spaces down from it.

    Font - As I'm walking into the store the woman in the Lexus, mid 60's, saw that I was very visibly pregnant and says "oh I'm so sorry I didn't realize" and laughed at me.

    Font - I'm hormonal and it probably wasn't necessary but I responded with "you're obviously not that sorry since you parked in a spot you shouldn't have!"

    Organism - She proceeded to get about a foot from me and scream at me "f you, you're not entitled to this spot" I was caught off guard and started crying (not proud of this but the hormones are intense sometimes)

    Font - Thankfully bystanders don't like it when people yell and physically intimidate a pregnant lady and about 5 people came over to rip her a new one. Telling her she's way out of line and I'm the only person they see who is entitled to the space. One gentleman (my hero)actually called her a Karen she got back into her car and left.

    Font - I just don't understand why she felt the need to confront me, did she think apologizing for her intentionally s y behaviour would make her look less like a Karen? Like I wasn't going to say anything I just assumed she needed it because she had a baby or whatever, but she didn't.

    Human body - So that's my crazy Karen story, mild compared to most here but it was honestly scary.

    Font - 00 Juststacey733 hr. ago I was 8 months pregnant with my 5th daughter (yes, you read that correctly), I pulled into my local grocery store expecting to park in the expectant mother's spot, and to my shock, there was a very old dude, just sitting in his car in that spot.

    Font - As I painfully waddled past him, his window was open, so I asked him when he was due. and pointed at the sign. My then 12-year-old daughter was HORRIFIED, so I dropped it and continued to walk inside. But man, I was really annoyed with that guy lol

    Font - Starlit-Sage 51 min. ago Yeah the pregnancy/young parent/military spots aren't enforceable; only the disabled parking spots are. And I will avoid parking in them for the most part because I don't mind walking. But if they're the only spots left or if I'm sick or something... sorry not sorry, I'm parking in them. (I mean the pregnancy ones, not the disabled ones... I will never park in a disabled spot).
