Karma and Karens seem to go hand in hand these days. It's especially satisfying when the entitled humans of the world put negative energy out there in a public space and are shocked and appalled when they receive poor treatment in return. Sometimes, it's the universe coming back to bite these folks on the behind, or sometimes it's just an onlooker who refuses to allow further wrongdoing to occur.

Here, we have an amusement park worker who witnessed a Karen customer making fun of a young 7-year-old on a ride. The employee told the Karen to watch it, but she would not relent. By the time it was her turn to go on the ride, the amusement park worker had enough of her and was ready to enact some petty revenge by way of malicious compliance. 

Keep scrolling below to see what happened when she freaked out and made the worker stop the ride immediately. For more stories like this, here is one about an infuriated Karen at a campsite.

    A couple of weeks ago this woman and her friend came up to my ride making fun of one of the kids that were on the ride. She was saying so many hateful things about how they look. Without even looking at her I told her to stop and this is how it went.

    Me: you're literally talking about a 7yearold like that you need to stop or you will not be allowed on the rides. Karen: but it's true look at them

    When the ride was finished I start letting the next group of people in. I say "do not pull down on the bars pick any seat you'd like!" to everyone as they walk in since pulling on the bars can break the seats over time. I let a group of young boys in before Karen's group and they sat at the end seats. Karen marches over to the kids yelling at them to get out of her seat and that she paid to sit at the end.

    Me: miss please stop yelling at the kids or you will be removed from the ride with no refund in tickets. Karen: don't tell me - Karen's friend: stop it Karen just sit in the middle

    She complained the whole time walking to the middle seats and then pulled down the bar. I was thinking it was time to get a manager over but I didn't want to bother them with her. Once I got everyone seated I close all the seat bars. When I was checking the seats Karen's one was on the loose side so I pushed it in a little to make it tighter. Karen: you're trying to kill me first you left my seat open now you're making it so I can't breathe

    I ignore her and keep checking seats. When I finally start the ride I slowly rock it and Karen is screaming to take her off so I make the ride go faster doing full circles now. Half way during the ride. Karen screams: stop the ride you . She wants me to stop it? Fine with me I park the ride at the top of the ride like I do when closing but keeping the ride on.

    The 6 others on the ride weren't scared the ride stopped. Karen started screaming murder crying and begging to be let down. The parents watching know what she said before their kids and know what's going on and start laughing. After around 30 seconds she is screaming let me down still.

    So I do on the fastest setting I start the ride spinning full speed. I made the ride a little e longer since all the kids were having fun. Before I opened the seats I scream a warning. Me: wait for the bars to be fully open and stay above your head before getting up! Stay seated!

    Karen pushes it up and gets up having the bar fall back down and hit her in the head. Her friend laugh at her and get up walking her off the ride.

    TLDR: Karen bullied kids, didn't listen to rules so when she told me stop the ride I left her on top then made it go full speed making her cry. Then she hit her head on the seat bar.

    Skoodledoo ⚫ Well done. One of my first jobs was working in a theme park and my first ride to operate was a Zamperla Crazy Bus. Similar type of ride. Completely manually operated too, a speed dial and a direction switch. Was great fun pretending it was broken down and stuck at the top when there were "difficult" guests onboard. 564 Reply Share
