Weren't you ever taught to not judge a book by its cover when you were a kid? Apparently, this lesson was skipped for every entitled Karen out there. So when this adult goth woman was boarding her flight, a Karen, of course, had to get in her face. Why? Because she was boarding first class and there's no way a goth could possibly afford a first class ticket! Right? WRONG. This was a full grown woman who worked hard for her money. She only travels first class and pays for it herself. Just because she enjoys wearing all black and having long dyed hair and heavy eyeliner doesn't mean she doesn't know how to do business. What? Did this Karen just assume everyone who enjoys a more macabre style works as a barista for their entire lives?

 

This  Karen quickly learned the lesson she should've learned as a kid and this goth woman got the satisfaction of a lifetime. Because she not only got to shut down this Karen, she also got to wave her first class ticket in her face and then proceed to sit down in 1A. That's the first seat of the flight, Karen hunny. Pretty sure that's first class!

  • Also, obligatory please forgive formatting, on mobile. So, the other day my older sister and I were flying cross country.

  • WA state to WA DC. The thing about me is, while love to travel, I don't do well on long flights...

  • I have terrible restless leg syndrome, and in general, I just am not used to having to sit in one spot for that long.

  • So, when we travel, we tend to go first class. I do this for my comfort, and so I'm not disturbing other people with all of my wiggling around and bouncing my legs all over the place.

  • Now, I get that maybe I don't look like a first class kinda person - I'm pretty goth, I usually wear all black, I have long black hair, but the thing about me is I actually am a quite successful business owner and I do pretty good for myself.

  • And it's not like I'm jet-setting around the world all the time. I fly maybe once a year.

  • So anyway, my sis and I are waiting at our gate the other day, kinda in the back of the crowd of people when the airline calls for first class to board.

  • My sis was in front of me and as we are headed up, I dropped my purse.

  • While I stopped to pick it up, this b!tch steps in front of me and goes, "Um, they're only boarding first class right now!" Let me tell you, I wanted to call her so many names, but I kept calm and ultimately my greatest satisfaction came from holding my phone with my boarding pass in her face and saying, "I'm pretty sure seat 1A is first class.

  • Excuse me!" Loud enough for half the concourse to hear and watching her turn bright red, it was like a chefs kiss moment for me!

  • Even better was when I caught up to my sis and told her what had happened...

  • Even though I am a grown ass 45 year old and sis is 51, she is still very protective of me, so when I pointed the gal out as she shuffled past us, my sis shot her a straight up death glare while I giggled away in my seat and watched her turn bright red again and avoid eye contact!

  • kukonimz We're really not first class people (sadly), but last year the airlines messed up our flights so bad (transatlantic trip that was supposed to be 28 hours turned into 56 hours). So anyway, the longest leg of the trip we had no choice but to upgrade to first class after being stuck in airports for a day and a half in our very plain travel clothes, looking like we slept in an airport (which we did ). Seeing all the first class people looking at us like we're some cosmic mistake invading th
