'My manager asks Karen exactly what she wants': Helicopter parent refuses to accept dorm roommates for her college-aged son

Being a helicopter parent to a toddler is one thing, but if your kid grows up and you're still acting that way, it's going to get awkward real fast.

When you're raising a toddler, it makes sense to keep a close eye on them. They're whirling dervishes of destruction who can color your couch with markers one minute and climb inside the dishwasher the next. But over time, you've got to let your kids gain independence by seeing the world on their own. Too bad no one ever told this college kid's mother, who is still apparently running her son's life like she's glued to his side.

One Redditor headed to the r/ChoosingBeggars subreddit to share this wild tale of the "choosing beggar mom" who's getting far too involved with her son's life. He hasn't actually gone off to college yet, since he's still trying to figure out which roommates to live with. Most of the time, you're just randomly assigned a roommate. They either become your best friend, your worst enemy, or someone who's just kind of there. You don't know what it'll be until you live with them. No matter what happens, it's important to learn how to get along with all different types of people… too bad this kid might never get the chance to do that if his mom doesn't lighten up a bit.

Next up, this dude was irate when a pizza delivery driver kept insisting on speaking to his girlfriend, plus trying to give her a note!
