'You will respect me': 47-year-old Nurse Karen throws tantrum at younger coworker, embarrasses herself in front of a patient

Having a Karen coworker feels like going into battle every single day of the work week. You have to walk into your place of work ready and prepared to be lectured, condescended to, and poorly treated. If the Karen in question is your equal, don't worry: she'll still talk down to you no matter what. Having a Karen for a coworker is largely about picking and choosing when to defend yourself and when to be the bigger person and let her nonsense go in one ear and out the other. Generally, you want to opt for the latter option, but every so often, your Karen coworker makes it impossible not to meet her where she's at.

That's exactly what happened to this nurse who assisted this Karen with lifting a patient, only to be lectured and chastised for helping in the wrong way. Even the patient took note of this inappropriate behavior. At a certain point, there was nothing the Redditor could do to ignore the Karen and he was forced to set the record straight.
