Ever meet an energy vampire?
Gatekeeping your agency as a self-appointed authority for no reason except that they are miserable? Criticizing you absurdly based on their problems?
Don't let 'em get you down
Here's some inspiration:
Be like this harpist ( https://www.instagram.com/robyn.hearts.harp/ )
Effortlessly playing "Careless Whisper" with a blissful smile, graceful and unbothered, while being harangued by some vicious douchebag
edit: it's "Harrow Council", ty @bodhipaksa
@benroyce Subtitle: Actual footage of a Brexit voter arriving in heaven.
A local newspaper report placed this in Harrow. When you see the word "Karen" on the screen, your ears pick it up differently than if you listen to the video with your eyes shut.
thank you!
i knew "karen council" had to be a joke for the text over, but i couldn't make out the real council
Why was no one present confronting the douchebag? This is why we can't have nice things.
i hear you but she handled it so well (if she didn't then yes, someone should have stepped in)
someone berating the douchebag back would have changed the energy
but instead the energy was the harp and the harpist, unbothered
beautiful
I never suggested berating the woman. There are methods to confront the woman that don't require insults or response-in-kind. The former doesn't even work because it just escalates the emotional stupidity. You deal with her exactly the same way you would an angry customer on a tech support call.
then it's good i wasn't there, because i would have been spouting loud expletives at the fuckstain
I have experience in refusing to respond in kind and approaching confrontations factually and logically. No one trained me, it just came naturally. I was designated the "man of last resort" at one company for resolving technical issues that could retain a (corporate) customer.
It can be done. It demands emotional dissociation.
i'm capable of it
i'm more interested in engaging the emotion in a situation like this
it's not a professional work environment, it's the street
i'm not saying you have the wrong approach. in fact your approach is better
i'm just more interested in giving the asshole a piece of my mind. which would definitely ruin the vibe of the serene harp music. so you would have to shush me 😆
😂
btw: it's "Harrow Council"
i don't know why the text over is that way. as a joke or genuine mistake. if mistake, it's a brilliant mistake
implausible
karens don't get along, they'd just outkaren each other
there is no karen council
in fact, there is an innumerable onslaught of ever more deranged karens, the next worse than the former
and then the big boss character, the Final Karen
@benroyce @bodhipaksa "Karen council"? That's just too much 😆
Props to her for keeping cool.
.. Angel of patience!
