Who doesn't love it when a Karen tries to blame others for her own bad parenting? 

This lady left her demon children at the movie theater late at night, where they broke the rules and caused a scene by hopping from one theater to the next and disrupting each screening. Of course, they were warned on several occasions and of course, because they are entitled kids, they did not adhere to said warnings. They ended up getting thrown out of the establishment and forced to wait outside for their Karen mother to pick them up, which she never did.

The Karen had words with the movie theater staff the following day and blamed them for her own kids' unruly behavior. Keep scrolling below to see how this Redditor dealt with the Karen. When will these bad parents ever learn that if everyone else is being unfair to your kids, it's probably your kids who are the problem?

    I would've posted this on r/entitledkids, but their Karen mother was just as bad so I'll post this story here instead, cause this happened on a weekly basis with these types of customers who act like our theater was their personal babysitting service and freak out when they can't find their child and try to blame us instead.

    I'm not going to go into depth on what these kids were doing, cause I've posted other stories of what many of these kids were doing, I'll just make a quick highlight of what lead to them getting kicked out.

    They get tickets, but instead of staying in their auditorium, they hop from one movie to another, we repeatedly get noise. complaints until we decide "No your not getting a refund or compensation for causing trouble and were asked repeatedly to stop."

    Their told to call their parents and leave, they all say "we'll call our parents/friends/relatives to pick us up", but said whoever are either not picking up or take their time to pick them up and the kids are now running amok in the lobby still causing trouble and trying to sneak back into other auditoriums.

    Me: sorry we're closed. Teens: but it's cold out here and my parents aren't here yet. Manager: there's a gas station across the parking lot you can wait at, go there we're closed.

    They usually keep knocking until Security walks over, than they bolt away, note this is before Uber or Lyft was a thing at most there were taxis. But I'm not sure how late they run since it was around midnight as these was happening,

    by the time my coworkers and I finished it was pitch black, my ride was outside and Security was just making sure everyone got to their cars alright before heading back inside. I see these teens just hanging out just outside the building around the far sides of the building, but afterwards I'm not sure how they got home, since it's not my job to babysit them.

    Next day the cry of a Karen screams "WHY DID YOU MAKE MY BABIES WALK HOME IN THE DARK, THEY COULD'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED!"

    Security: ma'am we had your teens call you repeatedly, but no one responded and we were closing. Karen: SO YOUR OK WITH LETTING KIDS GET KIDNAPPED, HOW DARE YOU, I'M GOING TO SUE YOU ALL AND GET ALL OF YOU PEOPLE FIRED!!

    Before storming off and never appearing again, again we're a movie theater not a free babysitting service, it's your own fault for not picking up your own kids/teens don't expect us to drop

    your own kids/teens off at home for you. Heck if one of the night managers literally bikes 2 hours home in the dark cause she doesn't have a working car, than you can afford to come pick up your kids/teens Karen.

    Tl;dr Karen doesn't pick up her kids/teens and wants to sue us, after finding out her kids walked home in the dark.

    hotasanicecube - 2 hr. ago When we were kids we used to hop movies all the time and everyone knew it. They might say something if it was rated R but not usually. It doesn't cost the theater a single dime if you sit in a half full theater.
