32. I'm really confused. An old lady was threatened by a man, & SHE ("Karen") was fired?

The OP title does not seem to match the story at all. But maybe I’m confused because I’m an old lady myself.

So, for the first (but not last) time, I am joining those who object to “Karen” as an all-purpose slap. It would have more impact and be less offensive in itself if we simply tagged people behaving badly by their location or relevant activity. Costco Connie. BBQ Becky. Dog-walker Dora or Off-Leash Lizzy. Lemonade Lucy.
