62 My Most Traumatic Experience with a Karen

This was my first major corporate trauma experience…

“ANIIITTTTAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”


Due to her voice’s tone and volume, I froze in fear.


I thought I was in physical danger. Like I had walked out into the street without looking both ways, or when you’re driving and the person in the passenger seat overreacts to a car cutting in front of you.


Yep. That type of fear and adrenaline rush, but I hadn’t.


I wasn’t in danger.
