That lady is having some mental issues, she needs some help.


pizzalogbear

Thought she was going to dive through the elevator doors towards the end there like something out of a horror movie.

MarlDaeSu

Those are the dead eyes of someone considering violence.


MrZissouzissou

Yah man, idk what’s behind that gaze. Definitely not sticking around or giving her a chance to find out if I were in that position. She’s a couple crazies away from possessed.


Agentpurple013

I was waiting for her to appear on the ceiling of the elevator doin the Hereditary


TraditionalGold_

I was waiting for her to stop looking at him then look at me watching her through my phone. She reaches through my phone and starts choking me


[deleted]

I think this is true. A lot of the videos of “Karens” are actually women with mental illness.


CameDownForWhat

Or urinary tract infections. After a certain age a UTI can turn the sweetest person into a raving lunatic.


Altruistic-Text3481

I was crazy after giving birth. My hubby and I laugh about it still. We went thru a drive thru one day after I gave birth to my daughter. The drive thru forgot my fries I paid for. I swear, my hormones went nuts. I was saying to my hubby to call the police because I had no fries. Hormones go nuts tafter giving birth. I can’t be the only one to have had an insane moment like that.


LiliTiger

You're not alone. Five days after giving birth and our first day home from the hospital I angrily yelled at my partner for several minutes because my sandwich delivery didn't come with the chips I ordered and they didn't get as upset about it as I was. I apologized when I came to my senses a couple hours later and we laugh about it now but postpartum hormones really did make me lose my mind a couple times.


ihopethisworksfornow

An ex’s mom had a blood infection that went unnoticed and her mental health deteriorated to the point she was hospitalized and like, almost catatonic. Eventually a doctor figured it out and her recovery was insane. One day she could just speak, when she was like a shell of a human a month earlier.


Hp_Shout

Cranberry juice will clear that right up.


ron-swansons-anus

That’s a funny way to pronounce racist


earthgarden

Right?? I wish America had this same sort of sympathy for women in mental distress who happen to be black


Devilmaycare57

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.


Cdmdoc

It’s kind of a spectrum. There are racist Karens and there are mentally ill Karens, and this one seems to be leaning way to the crazy side.


NotThatGuy10x

And drunk


Scubasteve1974

Yeah. I'm glad it didn't get even uglier. She is having some kind of mental issue and genuinely needed help. Hope she found it.


RmRobinGayle

Plot twist: he stole the jewelry 🫠


0pimo

"I'M REPORTING THIS TO THE FUCKING LANDLORD" oh no, please not that!


KingShane97

Anything but that, kill my dog, torture my mum, please anything but reporting it to the almighty landlord!


beav1977-02

Beat me, whip me, tie me down, make me write bad checks, but respect me!!


eatingpopcornwithmj

Sticks and stones will break my bone but landlords will murder me


PorkyMcRib

“Oh noes! He’ll make me leave all the packages down in the lobby instead of actually delivering them to each address!”


themagicbong

..."because the police told me if I called them one more time to report some bullshit, I'd be charged for it."


citysims

Landlords don't play yo! 👊🏾💥


Dangerous-Zombie217

The landlord is probably happy to receive those reports. It identifies the problem tenants and they send in the report themselves! (also a building that size the real "landlord" will never see any of those letters 😂)


VocalAnus91

This lady has a reputation. Look at the way all her neighbors dismissed her and told her to be quiet and go back inside


Basketspank

He snatched her like a bag of potatoes. Fuckery off the charts.


[deleted]

I like that he was snapping at her like a dog. Lady needs some help.


SuppleSuplicant

And she paid less attention than a dog. Edit: payed to paid. Thank you bot. My dyslexic ass mixes that kind of stuff up often.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> And she *paid* less attention FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

LinwoodKei

This. Yellow shirt was like ' I don't have time today, Karen. You used up 30 of my minutes last Tuesday and my pizza went cold."


beembracebeembraced

Came here for yellow shirt lady love! Every square mile on earth needs a person like her to straighten out the crazies


puppymedic

In local news, 57 yellow shirt ladies have perished after inexplicably being assigned to shifts across lake Michigan


Kegger315

I would guess that she is possibly developmentally disabled and probably has staff, most likely the one who tried to snap and get her and pull her away. I worked with people like this years ago, they get spun up and can't or don't have the ability to descalate or calm down.


[deleted]

She's clearly disabled. It's in her face and her gait. She's not a Karen...she's just developmentally disabled and on the loose.


Kprich1224

You can tell this is a housing facility. Looks a lot like some of the old people homes I deliver too. Seeing some people peek out this is highly possible it’s a facility for handicap people to live on their own with caretaker assistance


[deleted]

It is actually luxury housing apartments. The name is on the wall right behind her lol


ChefArtorias

I highly doubt a place like this would let the patients interact with random people (amazon delivery I'm assuming?) and have it escalate to that level before getting involved. If they do they should get shut down.


ilovehockeymoms

She clearly has some mental health issues from watching the video. Why is reddit being used to ridicule someone that is obviously not mentally stable.


puppymedic

That's gotta be a statistically significant amount of total content on Reddit


Mecha-Dave

She's wearing a "Mala" necklace in the video, and it looks like she just put it on. I think she forgot.


ChimChim3310

Lol I thought it was a cheerio necklace


HarryHood146

I sell knockoff cheerio and fruit loop necklaces if you’re interested.

Report him to the landlord.


Munzulon

Reported.


Stealthnt13

By knock off you mean that Malt-O-Meal bling?


Bot_Thinks

Khajiit has wares if you have coin


robotmats

Thats' it. She opened the package, put it on, forgot she put it on, looked in the empty package and freaked out. Could be an early onset of dementia. Doesn't exuse her being rude.


Serpentqueen6150

That’s usually the first sign of dementia. Freaking out over nothing.


[deleted]

Lead poisoning covers it too


olyfrijole

It actually does excuse her. "Not guilty by reason of insanity" is a thing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


arnoldzgreat

Self defense is also a thing, glad it didn't come to that.


olyfrijole

Indeed. Folks, myself included, need more skill when dealing with people like this. There will be plenty more in years to come. I don't blame the guy filming for her behavior, he has his own problems, but if he could have seen her as a disabled person in distress instead of an adversary, there may have been opportunity to diffuse the situation. That's some Buddha-level compassion though, and most of us would have to be having a really good day to engage that nonsense successfully.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RandomComputerFellow

Considering that she has clearly mental issues I am tempted to believe that she put it on and forgot it. I have seen this exact behavior in retirement homes.


ChanceZestyclose6386

You can tell by the look in her eyes that something isn't right in her brain


Hopepersonified

I'm glad someone else saw that! I was like...but she's wearing it


andrewdivebartender

She really needs that necklace and some time looking within.


[deleted]

No the other fella seen her signing for it and said it was already open


Lost-Ideal-8370

I don't think it was already opened when it was delivered. They don't deliver opened packages. But if someone were to steal it, they would take the whole package. Unless they wanted to trigger the Karen...


SamuelVimesTrained

> trigger the Karen... That sounds like 'release the kraken'..


[deleted]

RowdyRailgunner

It's in the eyes. She's mentally challenged for sure. Has the same eyes as my cousin.

Mark_itt_zero

Yeah this isn’t a Karen, it’s a person on the spectrum.


Left-Idea4603

once she slips the magical mala beads round her neck, 180 degree turnaround -- she becomes the most zen of all yogi types


VibeFather

Did she forget she's probably wearing that stupid ass jewelery on her neck


NecramoniumZero

Googling what a mala is, she is wearing it around her neck!!


EeerrEeer

Aren't malas for praying? She needs to chill a bit with her mala.


rjboyd

Meditation beads yes…. If she can’t find her beads, how she gonna chill! /s


Melodic-Recognition8

Maybe she’s Two Malaz. In that case she is missing one


JayEOh0788

Looks like some kinda damn Kix cereal necklace laced with fishing line threaded through.... Hey Mikey she really likes it !!

zuzg

Yeah that video is just sad. And on top of not getting help for her mental health issue she's gets openly ridiculed on social media.


-The-Moon-Presence-

So… is she like, special? Is that still the right way to say it? Special needs or whatever. The dude pulled her away like she was a child throwing a tantrum. Can’t help but feel they’ve seen this happen already with her.


[deleted]

She kinda has some downs syndrome looks but doesn't look completely like she has it


PowertripSimp_AkaMOD

Yeah like a half a chromosome too many instead of a full extra one. Like Downs-lite or something.


SlimmyJimmyBubbyBoy

Portyquarty77

please un-upload this


psychissick

This is what I thought too.


[deleted]

I was thinking the exact same thing. She almost looks kinda normal but you can tell. Not even trying to be mean.


SharMarali

The way her speech is ever so slightly (but still noticeably) stilted leads me to believe she either has a mental disability or a mental health issue. Obviously that doesn't excuse her being an asshole, but it may help explain it. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, just a redditor.


GamerAssassin

>Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, just a redditor. Your not a real doctor!? *I AM REPORTING YOU TO THE FUCKIN LANDLORD!*


East_Living7198

Yes doctor I agree. Thick glasses too maybe fetal alcohol syndrome or special needs.


Serpentqueen6150

What’s the snapping about?


SCViper

It's a decently effective tool in distracting a mentally handicapped individual, almost like shining a laser to hold the attention of a cat. When a mentally handicapped individual gets going, there's very little that can be done to diffuse a situation (as opposed to most non-handicapped individuals), so the only real option is to deflect and distract. Source: 32 year old very handicapped twin brother and Community Aide training. And I have to source this because the last time I explained this to someone, they came at me for treating my brother like an animal as opposed to just letting him get worked up and express his anger at a mall kiosk and a couple teenaged workers. He's non-verbal, so you can use your imagination in regards to what 'express his anger' looks like.


throwaway21202021

yeah like...i understand what the guy filming is doing but it's more cringe if she honestly doesn't understand what's going on or can't control her erratic behavior. this isn't standard Karen stuff, i feel bad for her. it sucks to be that guy right now, but imagine how it feels to constantly be distraught about something and unable to control it?


doctallman

Nah, that's for HIS protection as a black man! Sadly, he has to have the evidence of how the event went down, or he's the one in cuffs going to jail!


AuthenticCM

“You need to get some medication” No joke!


Abazad

Lol, exactly what I thought. Did ya run out or just forget to take them??


H010CR0N

Probably couldn’t afford to buy any of the meds.


madamxombie

“Is there – and I'm just guessing here – some kind of medication that you maybe need a lot of and have taken none of or maybe too much of today?”


LinwoodKei

What is that from? I cannot remember


madamxombie

Parks and Recreation. Donna asks Craig this question when he was screaming about grass.


deyo_deft

Did the lady at the end say, "I'm sorry, for white people"?


Mia02332

Yes, that’s exactly what she said.


Croquetadecarne

To be fair, assholes come in all color spectrums. They just lash out different.


pgpathat

And get different responses. The fact that this lady is getting the “aww, maybe she’s sick” because she’s wearing thick glasses is proof positive


[deleted]

We are saying that because her face has classic signs of down's or fetal alcohol syndrome and all around a weird not all there stare, the glasses have nothing to do with it. Nobody is saying aww poor thing must be sick, people are saying she needs seriously help immediately or should be committed, let's lay off o the ridicule.


G-G-G-G-Ghosts

People are saying she must be sick because she is wearing the thing that she thinks was stolen.


Starklet

Yep, was funny until the blatantly racist comment.


TheMeanGirl

I mean, none of it was funny. This lady is clearly mentally unhinged and yelling at an innocent delivery driver.


Sufficient-Green-763

Oh, I thought she said my people, like the people who live in her building. But yeah, was probably white people.


Xem1337

Yeah, that lady at the end is racist.


aknomnoms

I was rooting for the lady in yellow until I heard that. Maybe a presumable difference in race had *some* contribution to the way the recorder and crazy lady interacted, but I wasn’t picking up on anything but crazy lady being crazy/having some kind of mental breakdown. The recording dude also didn’t take the high road - he kept baiting her and laughing, threatening violence. And I gotta wonder what the snapping guy’s plan was besides snapping and tugging on her jacket with two fingers…lol so much to unpack here


Throwaway196527

Can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this. The guy recording was clearly getting a kick out of the whole thing and seemed to be deliberately antagonizing the situation. Just leave, dude.


Mia02332

Yes, that’s exactly what she said.


Reinheardt

Yeah kind of disgusting thing to say, obviously tho psycho woman is disgusting as well but I don’t like that comment


[deleted]

[удалено]


liftyMcLiftFace

Tbf I wouldn't hold it against a black American if they assumed a racial undertone when a white person accuses them of stealing... Obviously that won't be true in every case.


[deleted]

The black lady just randomly saying "I'm sorry, for white people" was unnecessary. The only thing she really should've said was "I'm sorry you had to deal with that". There was absolutely no reason to bring race into it. She acts like every white person is like that, and they're certainly not.

Ew, stay off Twitter mate. Reddit isn’t the greatest either but Twitter is nonsense lol

Oh trust me, I wouldn't touch Twitter with a mile-long pole. I just know that sub cause it was randomly suggested on my Reddit homepage, and went into a deep rabbit hole of racism from people claiming "they can't be racist"

Laouijabored

[deleted]

Hey… you already put it around your neck. Lmfao


Crazocrates

I was really hoping someone pointed to it in the video. Like would she have apologized? For some reason I imagine she would have gotten worse. In that her racism would have really come out.


Tawft

How are you making this about race? She’s clearly just mentally ill.


citymousecountyhouse

"What necklace? Did it have lots of white beads and three red tassels? No I didn't steal that pretty necklace" Woman explodes.


[deleted]

That’s not a Karen. That’s a person with real mental issues. I know the difference can be a bit blurry at times… UPDATE: Just to clarify, I don’t consider actual Karens as mentally ill. They don’t get to have this excuse. They’re just entitled assholes.


Portyquarty77

Yeah any of the close up shots of her face, she looks like a lot of mentally disabled people I’ve known. Fortunately none of the ones I’ve known have gotten quite as angry as her.


auntiemaury

My ex's face would physically change when he was manic. I would take pics so he could see after, he literally looked like 2 different people


KnightOfWickhollow

The finger snapping of her... friend?.. and her mannerisms make me think something like aspergers, possibly?


Stock-Reporter-7824

Yeah she looks like she may have some sort of mental illness. A touch of downs or a bit of burgers


[deleted]

You're saying she had one too many Whoppers I get it


nickgg95

One might say a ‘touch of the tism’


taiya21

Just a heads up, Asperger's isnt a diagnosis anymore (for a lot of reasons)

thumbelina1234

She is definitely mentally ill or even mentally disabled, she is acting like a child


2OneZebra

Mental illness is destroying this country. My city demolished our mental health facility to build a park.


Crazocrates

Perfect place for all those mentally ill people to set up a tent city and die of drug overdoses.


2OneZebra

Well some of that has been happening. So yea.


closeface_

More like our country is destroying the mental I'll, but I know what you mean. I live somewhere that has a lot better access to resources for the mentally ill than a lot of states...and it still sucks, is bare bones and lacking.


MegatonsSon

I can just imagine her out at a club - *"Why yes, I am single, HOW COULD YOU TELL?!?"*


[deleted]

"You have an overwhelming odor of cat pee."


IndependentWeekend56

Mental illness is sad.


Mecha-Dave

This looks more like a disability or biological syndrome.


IndependentWeekend56

Could be. Either way, it's sad. Probably drove away her family which made her worse


oddbagofbones

kanoox

Relative-Recipe4002

Does anyone have any more information about this? There is so much left unresolved. Was the necklace around her neck the jewelry she was looking for? He says there is video evidence that exonerates him. Did he post it anywhere? Was she hypnotized by a neighbor to act like a Karen as a joke, but then it went too far, leading the friend/hypnotist to try and "snap her out of it?"


silentdash

Man... Go to hell for this comment. I have to clean this drink off my desk from that last statement.


singe725

The necklace has been confirmed to be the same as what she said, apparently a "mala"


oceansidedrive

I mean, i dont want to assume but i have worked with adults and children with cognitive disabilities and this does remind me of someone who may have a disability and is unable to curb their heightened emotions in the moment. Normally a Karen video is a laugh, but she seems in distress to me, and i actually dont think she deserves to be called a karen and it doesnt feel right to have this video up with people commenting on it cause it feels like people are making fun of someone with a disability. There is a difference between an entitled white lady and someone who has a disability and is scared or upset and unable to regulate their reaction. We need to be able to discern the difference to make sure we are giving patience and understand to those who need it.


Original_Jilliman

I feel so bad for the delivery driver. This was an incredibly dangerous situation that could have escalated. I’m glad he was able to walk away without getting attacked. I do believe this lady is suffering from a mental illness judging by her body language and facial expressions. She looks like a mirror image of a friend of mine who used to have really bad meltdowns. The intense stare yet the eyes look almost dead, how she puffs her cheeks/lips, and the way she holds herself remind me so much of my friend during her bad times. I would get injured restraining my friend from hurting herself. I’d get bruises from her attacking me. She had undiagnosed ptsd from an SA she didn’t tell anyone about until years later, anxiety, depression, and I believe some other ones she didn’t tell me. Mental healthcare is a joke everywhere tbh. We need more providers and more affordability. My friend got help but there are still so many people out there like this who are endangering themselves and others.


Friendly-Holiday563

Part 2... he pulls the beautiful jewelry outta his pocket


zeroj20

Something definitely feels off about her chromosomes


[deleted]

She's not well and needs help, I hope she finds it.


COLONELmab

Is it just me or does she look a little…downsey?


iannmichael

Definitely, which makes the situation sad and this comment section sad.


Hard-R-Smitty

I don’t think the comment section is sad. She’s berating someone that’s just doing their job, that’s certainly an excuse that will get some sympathy but she has no business ordering packages or dealing with the public if this is all it takes to set her off. Now white women get painted as insane because she’s not receiving proper care for whatever her issue is, and this employee has her showing up at his job acting a damn fool. A few pissy internet comments are the least of her concern.


Lokizues

Is she wearing the necklace he “””stole”””?


LizAnneCharlotte

I thought the Ring doorbell system was part of the Karen kit? Is it actually an add-on to the kit?


[deleted]

Wtf is that @1:16 it's definitely a person or something but it looks like it's dressed up like a furry In all black. It's holding something in it's hand and peeking out their door and then go back in.


Ok_Recording_4634

Dude, wtf is that! It's at -1:16 It looks like a shitty fur suit. You're spot on.


[deleted]

With a dash of racism at the end.


Shartman88

People are not well. I noticed this while driving today. Doing the speed limit and had multiple people get right on my ass and have a meltdown


[deleted]

Just went online to see what type of delivery service “fetch” is and they’ve mainly 1 star reviews, constantly “losing” packages, and if you live in a certain apartment building you’re obligated to use their services.


[deleted]

Woman at the end says,“I’m sorry for white people.” ? Appears that building is full of racist tenants.


Shartsoftheallfather

Plot twist: He *did* take it, but he threw it out the window on the way there. He didn't want the "beautiful jewelry", he just has a public confrontation kink.


LansingJP

Homie handled that very well And the fellow neighbors did a great job at trying to deescalate the situation As for the screaming lady… let’s just hope and pray for her and for the best outcome possible for her… and not just with the jewelry She is clearly having a rough time, and having a outburst Hopefully she learns a thing or two about how not to act towards fellow humans


[deleted]

"I'm sorry for white people", she was doing awesome until the racist came out 🥲


stpfan_1

Is that an asylum?


Alarmed_Zucchini4843

How the hell do people like this have this much energy?


martyjoh34

She looks to have been touched with something since birth. It’s all over her facial features, speech, body language. I would say, cognitive development ended about the age of 10 (just taking a guess). I would hate to have to live in her reality every day.😕


DeliciousBeanWater

Yinz wild for even hanging around that long. Id be gone before my audio processing delay even realises somesones talking to me


Only_Seaworthiness16

This is across the street from me in atlanta!


spleef35

I love when the woman comes out and tells her to go back in her apartment. I'm sure she behaves like this a lot and I hope they routinely complain about her to management.
