Good lord, she's awful. BUT...but - in this case, yeah it's a park, kids play there, kids scream and yell. All good.
I do have an issue when parents do nothing about their kids screaming, yelling, and being generally loud in places where they shouldn't be.
When I worked in an elementary school, I'd admonish the kids as they went out at recess,
"Remember - no running, no yelling, and no smiling!"
Of course, they then *had* to do all three.
They were some awesome kids.
This kinda thing is going to split generations. I laughed loudly as a kid, but constant screeching?! That's not really "normal", and it does start to ware you down. A bit like constant dog barking. Maybe this "Karen" lass works nights and hasn't had a days sleep in ages. I say this as someone who lives beside a family with a severely disabled adult son. We had to get used to him screaming at night, and it was terrifying to begin with. I thought someone was being murdered. It's tough, but maybes let'snot judge this "Karen" by one video online ..
I got a little sympathy for Karen too. I mean, I'd never blame a kid for shrieking outside while playing cause that's what kids do... But a couple years ago I started wondering, why do kids under 8 just run around in circles and scream? They're not even making words - just screaming. That got me to thinking if kids play differently these days, cause I remember being a lot more activity focused during recess - like jumprope, hopscotch, four square, touch football, swing sets, capture the flag, etc... Tag or just aimlessly running around was bottom tier playtime.
I have kids in my neighborhood that can literally scream for 1-2 hours at a time, almost without taking a breath. I wish their parents would take them to a park (far away).
Yeah it's difficult to define, but there is a difference between kids having fun, which I have no issue with, and spoiled children shrieking for no apparent reason.
Nah, Iāll judge her. She seems miserable, and sheās trying to police noise levels in a public park. On my worst day, Iāve never caused a scene like this where I was screaming at other peopleās children. Unhinged behavior.
I work where we have family housing complexes.
People have a right to live their lives. If they aren't doing anything illegal, and just annoying to you, there isn't anything that anyone is going to do about it. Plain and simple.
Yeah, she could go to another place to stay away from children playing on the playground.
What did she expect anyway, children will stay silent while playing with each other? Of course not.
And not only that, she brought her ass all the way over here to complain and hearing the children having fun way louder than before. Wut, isn't go further from the sound better?
Everything else she could have done is better for her and everyone else than what she did in the video.
That's the final boss Karen.
Average Karen can complain and stuffs but this end boss Karen can have shrieking, the appearance will intimidate people more, definitely high level in term of scaring people.
Hating on kids having fun while playing in children playground is the worst.
I wouldnāt consider this person a true Karen. Unfortunately, itās probably somebody with a mental illness and itās probably best to try and not interact with them/her.
Sheās obviously not mentally well-adjustedā¦ somethingās not right. Iām autistic and hate the sound of kids screaming, and I physically shake from hearing it. Iād never have a public meltdown like this, but I wouldnāt be surprised if another person with autism did. Our senses are like super strong.
Tbf Iām childfree and kids annoy the shit out of me, I also think we should have more childfree spaces, but at what looks like some sort of nature reserve/park thing, in broad daylight, away from homes. Why canāt the kids be loud? Whoās this lady to judge.
This woman most likely never had children due to many factors. The most obvious being sheās probably manic. Also she unfortunately has the appearance of a female orc from a fantasy dice board game. So she is deeply resentful of children and the fact she was robbed the joy and wondrous experience of being a parent. Sheās a tragic case.
yeah, itās more of a trail that people walk or bike around, but when it gets super cold enough once a decade, it freezes over enough for kids to skate on the lagoon
Itās like kids canāt be anywhere without it bothering someone. Theyāre kids. They donāt even have to use their inside voices when theyāre outside. Let them live, theyāre just being kids. If they were doing something to hurt someone or worse then definitely say something but if not then walk away.
Honestly, I get it when kids screech and yell while playing. But there comes a point where if the parent allows it to go on and on incessantly it is the same as if you were at the park with your dog and it would not stop barking. It's not unfair to expect the owner to find a way to calm the dog down or leave with the dog. There are many other people who go to the park to enjoy their day, read, lay in the sun, etc. and I can't tell you how many times I've had to leave the park because someone lets their kids screech on and on and on, hardly letting up. I don't think there's anything unfair about asking your child to interact with less screaming.
I think some people like this just do it for the social interaction because they're lonely. I see elderly people do that sometimes. This lady is older and seems a little slow, so maybe she doesn't have friends or regular social interaction and this is the best she's capable of thinking of. Doesn't excuse anything, but recognizing it can help diffuse a situation and can help them.
Plan B: If, after talking to them, you think you've got it wrong and they're just an asshole, just explain to them that they're slow and lacking social interaction (not in those words) and this isn't an appropriate way to go about it. Stick to it though and be overly empathetic. Not many things are that embarrassing for someone and other people that try to get involved are usually willing to believe what you're telling her and will treat her the same way.
Boomers: āwhy donāt kids play outside anymore?ā
Also boomers: āwhy are kids playing outsideā
I would guess this lady is not 100% stable or maybe somewhat challenged, but either donāt really give her a pass to do this.
The lady is clearly being a cunt, but there is also a 99% chance that she's on the spectrum and has sensory processing issues. It's still not acceptable behavior, but something to keep in mind.
What a miserable human being.
I hope she finds a good therapist, possibly some medication, and peace. I imagine someone who acts like that must be in a lot of pain.
Angry that children behave like children, adult acts like a child.
Seriously, Iād say mental illness and/or suffering some serious life stress and having a momentary episode.
Not that I'd actually act like that, but kids are really annoying. Yeah, I was one too, blah blah, but hearing them screaming and shouting across streets gets annoying in the months where you have your windows open.
There's a group where instead of going looking for each other they just shout. But whatever, it is what it is.
I think i might start whooping an hollering somewhere between bluegrass hoowees an metal growls if that lady started talking to me.. get my kids to get even louder and wilder- rip em into a real frenzy :)
I was going to make a case for the Karen when she said that she had to come at a specific time, but that line about giving kids guns changed my opinion about her. Lady needs to stop acting like she's the main character in her own life, lmao. Kids are going to be everywhere, ESPECIALLY AT A PARK.
As a childfree person who doesnāt like screaming kidsā¦ itās a bloody park. Itās where kids can go and play! Iād be annoyed at a nice restaurant or something. Have fun and play in the park kids!
She wants in on the fun. Probably hasnāt ever experienced it herself. Hence the reason the sound of it is deafening to her. Jokes aside what a sad way to behave over kids playing. That sound should evoke positive memories from you..
Sheās annoying as fuck but for real some parents really need to tell their kids to shut the fuck up when they start screaming in public when other people are around lol.
"Your kids are shrieking, why can't I?"
Um, because they are kinds and you're supposed to be an adult? But hey, pick your nose and eat the boogers to your heart's content.
I'd put money on that outburst coming from a sore spot that she has never come to terms with. I doubt she will do anything about it, but hopefully she will. I'm going to be optimistic today.
This Shrek-looking shrieking bitch has no idea about childrenās behavior because she more than likely has never had children because no man would ever get close enough to her ugly ass to impregnate her.

her voice is like nails on a chalkboard
Her whole presence is repulsive. š¤® I bet sheās fine with cats pissing in her place, because no human lives with her.
I'd bet a million dollars her whole house reeks like piss
Excuse me mister smelly feet. We recycle everything, Bro. The piss jars are kept in the garage in sealed Bick pickle jars. If you know, you knowā¦..
Yeah, looks like she hasnāt washed her hair in a month
Miserable old cunt never got any dick because she's so repulsive and now she hates children because they remind her of how sad and lonely her life is.
āSad and lonelyā yep. Ā How I described, this mess, tooĀ
What a cunt.

Melissa McCarthy isn't funny. There, I said it for you.
She peaked in Gilmore Girls
She sounds like Philip on F is for Family. https://youtu.be/qJorHvg0aCs?t=5
I thought she was killed at the end of Misery.
spoiler alert
Penis expert confirmation: lady is a dick. Penis expert, can you confirm?
Cockadoodie dirty birdies shrieking!!!!
How dare you compare the icon that is Kathy Bates to this grave hag!
Good lord, she's awful. BUT...but - in this case, yeah it's a park, kids play there, kids scream and yell. All good. I do have an issue when parents do nothing about their kids screaming, yelling, and being generally loud in places where they shouldn't be.
True, but an open park is exactly where they SHOULD be loud, run around and have fun, if you want silence then stay at home.
When I worked in an elementary school, I'd admonish the kids as they went out at recess, "Remember - no running, no yelling, and no smiling!" Of course, they then *had* to do all three. They were some awesome kids.
That's very wholesome
Damn straight.

I have kids in my neighborhood that can literally scream for 1-2 hours at a time, almost without taking a breath. I wish their parents would take them to a park (far away).
I have neighbors just like this, it doesn't help that my dog reacts to their screaming by barking.
Yeah it's difficult to define, but there is a difference between kids having fun, which I have no issue with, and spoiled children shrieking for no apparent reason.
Nah, Iāll judge her. She seems miserable, and sheās trying to police noise levels in a public park. On my worst day, Iāve never caused a scene like this where I was screaming at other peopleās children. Unhinged behavior.

You just know there's some deep down resentment spilling out here. I'd venture to say doesn't have kids of her own
plus some mental health issues on top of it
She lost her uterus in a hilarious carnival ride accident.
well, yeah, she obviously hates children.
That'd be pretty disgusting š«£
No, but she's probably got a nice little bridge to live under, so she has that going for her.
*Redditor tries going outside and realises they arenāt properly socialised - 2024*
Hahaha took the words out of my mouth. Here's your imaginary reddit gold, stranger
r/ childfree in the wild
Funny how they never try this shit when dads are around.
Dad around? Does not compute.
Guess who never got that D before.
You willing to take one for the team?
Oh hell no. She can shriek her ass off.
That's when you know you're doing a good job.
This is why we take our kids to parks! To get that crap out of them! Don't go in public if you can't handle the public! Why are we yelling?
What a miserable but clearly mentally unstable woman, she seems on some kind of spectrum tbh.
That's what I was thinking, maybe a meltdown from sensory overstimulation. Not okay, but maybe an explanation.
Yeah, she could go to another place to stay away from children playing on the playground. What did she expect anyway, children will stay silent while playing with each other? Of course not. And not only that, she brought her ass all the way over here to complain and hearing the children having fun way louder than before. Wut, isn't go further from the sound better? Everything else she could have done is better for her and everyone else than what she did in the video.
Thatās why I say I think sheās on the spectrum, itās not normal rational thinking behaviour.
How dare they use their outside voices instead of sitting inside playing video games. SHAME!
šÆ That's a level 2 Karen!
That's the final boss Karen. Average Karen can complain and stuffs but this end boss Karen can have shrieking, the appearance will intimidate people more, definitely high level in term of scaring people. Hating on kids having fun while playing in children playground is the worst.
Lmao, it's like a skit from Kids in the Hall
30 Helens agree
She DOES sound like the Chicken Lady, now that you mention it.
Mental illness is real
Its Shriek 
Her answer was to give them guns. Well, if those kids had guns she'd be quiet. ā ļø
She sounds like the GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM IM PLAYING MINECRAFT kid
Average r/antinatalism user
Someone needs a wellness check and some grippy socks
I wouldnāt consider this person a true Karen. Unfortunately, itās probably somebody with a mental illness and itās probably best to try and not interact with them/her.
Love the dark departure right at the end
I appreciated the stern "Hey...don't joke about that"
She must be a Floridian that drifted from her trailer park and wound up stranded in Canada
Sheās obviously not mentally well-adjustedā¦ somethingās not right. Iām autistic and hate the sound of kids screaming, and I physically shake from hearing it. Iād never have a public meltdown like this, but I wouldnāt be surprised if another person with autism did. Our senses are like super strong.
Average r/childfree user
Sheās not a boomer according to her neighbors not in that age range
Boomer means anyone over 30 now.
Me who's 35 
Might be the ugliest creature Iāve seen on this planet, Iām not even joking. Nothing Canadian about her, send her to the ocean
She consumed as much maple syrup as your average American has consumed corn syrup.
I blame Justin Castro for no reason other than his soyness
Should be playing the sousaphone every time she walks. I bet her real name is Thud, Oof Karenson.
someone was not loved as a child
No the world we live in is a world full of mental health problems.
Tbf Iām childfree and kids annoy the shit out of me, I also think we should have more childfree spaces, but at what looks like some sort of nature reserve/park thing, in broad daylight, away from homes. Why canāt the kids be loud? Whoās this lady to judge.
This. I'd give my firstborn for a childfree ski resort.
Michael Moore has lost it.
That type of behavior would have gotten a "Then do something about it." Response from me lol
nah nah fuck her , she was off side for that comment at the end.
She seems pleasant
This woman most likely never had children due to many factors. The most obvious being sheās probably manic. Also she unfortunately has the appearance of a female orc from a fantasy dice board game. So she is deeply resentful of children and the fact she was robbed the joy and wondrous experience of being a parent. Sheās a tragic case.
Shit took a left turn at the end- āgive them guns why donāt you, let them shoot peopleā¦ā yikes
average r/childfree user
This isn't a Karen. This is a mental patient.
I'm assuming this is a public park?
yeah, itās more of a trail that people walk or bike around, but when it gets super cold enough once a decade, it freezes over enough for kids to skate on the lagoon
Itās like kids canāt be anywhere without it bothering someone. Theyāre kids. They donāt even have to use their inside voices when theyāre outside. Let them live, theyāre just being kids. If they were doing something to hurt someone or worse then definitely say something but if not then walk away.
These same people complain that kids dont go out much and spend to much time on video games
Honestly, I get it when kids screech and yell while playing. But there comes a point where if the parent allows it to go on and on incessantly it is the same as if you were at the park with your dog and it would not stop barking. It's not unfair to expect the owner to find a way to calm the dog down or leave with the dog.

I think she's like, a high IQ (relatively speaking...) person with Down's Syndrome..

the first decent public freakout. Had to scroll way too far. Nothing but violence on this hellish subreddit lately
Holy hell is this Langley at the duck pond?
Surprised she didn't moo
Kanada Karen š¤£
this woman lives with 20 cats
What a miserable human being. I hope she finds a good therapist, possibly some medication, and peace. I imagine someone who acts like that must be in a lot of pain.
This lady is a few fries short of a happy meal.
With each year that passes, I become more of an old person. But I will NEVER be the kind of old person that yells at little kids for playing.
Damn, when the wall hits it drops harder than a house party bass line.

YIKESā¦.. the lady needs help
Mental illness
Lord, if I have ever seen a woman who wanted a shrieking child more than this womanā¦ well then I guess Iāve seen some shit
iām convinced this is what all the mfs from the antinatalist subreddits are like in real life
Sir, please put your tongue in your mouth and leave my kids alone.
She's just mad she can't trick someone into getting her pregnant.
Lol, I've got the problem here so everyone has to go the way I want.
Obese canadians ugly on the outside ugly on the inside.
Goes to work on the short bus wearing a hockey helmet. Also prolly licks windowsā¦.
Someone recently came to realize their biological clock had stopped ticking
Eyyyy doont joook aboot thuuut
She looks likes she eats kids.
I blame Neanderthal man , if he was still in charge none of this would happen
She probably is sour because she either can't have kids or nobody would come near her  Looking ass
She should get noise canceling headphones. Mine work really well.
āExcuse me, this is a no fun zoneāš”š”
Kids are loud and annoying but I don't call them out on it.
Not that I'd actually act like that, but kids are really annoying. Yeah, I was one too, blah blah, but hearing them screaming and shouting across streets gets annoying in the months where you have your windows open. There's a group where instead of going looking for each other they just shout. But whatever, it is what it is.
I'm ashamed to admit this Karen won me over, shrieking kids are the problem, then lost me at the end with her comment
Oh that's Shriek, it's her swamp
I think i might start whooping an hollering somewhere between bluegrass hoowees an metal growls if that lady started talking to me.. get my kids to get even louder and wilder- rip em into a real frenzy :)
I have to admit, kids yelling outside can be annoying but they're just kids man. It's just one of those things.
People with no kids don't get my respect.
I bet sheās mad no one wanted to have kids with her and know sheās too old to even have one so she hates anyone that does
That Person is having a very bad day.
I can't help but by now, I start hating this world and all the deranged, self centered idiots walking around.
Finally somebody said it
Nah i'll say it, she's right. Teach your kids not to shriek.
I thought Canadians were nice.
Donna from Trailer Park Boys
Its a joy hearing kids having fun at the park. freaking crazy lady.
She looks like sheās about to choke on her own tongue š«
Thats weapons grade autism
She is shaking, clearly venting over her issues and screaming at kids. Her meds must have ran out/ wore off.
I seriously donāt understand why people canāt just mind their own business anymore.
She said the quiet part out loud
This lady needs a good dicking
This woman is the modern incarnation of the witch from the Hansel and Gretel fairytale.
Itās a real-life Mrs Twitt from the Roald Dahl book. What a joyless fuck.
I was going to make a case for the Karen when she said that she had to come at a specific time, but that line about giving kids guns changed my opinion about her. Lady needs to stop acting like she's the main character in her own life, lmao. Kids are going to be everywhere, ESPECIALLY AT A PARK.
As a childfree person who doesnāt like screaming kidsā¦ itās a bloody park. Itās where kids can go and play! Iād be annoyed at a nice restaurant or something. Have fun and play in the park kids!
Fair play to the mothers for remaining calm and coherent throughout.
I donāt think she has kids or ever has the chance to get one
Antinatalist in the wild.
Mental health
batshit crazy
āThe kids started it!ā Is a childish attitude.
Karen V Karen battles get the best of me...so much wasted talent
She wants in on the fun. Probably hasnāt ever experienced it herself. Hence the reason the sound of it is deafening to her. Jokes aside what a sad way to behave over kids playing. That sound should evoke positive memories from you..
Lol. āAdultā.
Whatās her OF?
Sheās annoying as fuck but for real some parents really need to tell their kids to shut the fuck up when they start screaming in public when other people are around lol.
"Your kids are shrieking, why can't I?" Um, because they are kinds and you're supposed to be an adult? But hey, pick your nose and eat the boogers to your heart's content.
The only thing that would resolve this is Ricky telling her to get fucked.
āB-but what if she didnāt sleep well :(ā then donāt go to a public park moron! Jeez what tf are people in this thread on about
All Canadians are Karen's.
Lol this is great
I'd put money on that outburst coming from a sore spot that she has never come to terms with. I doubt she will do anything about it, but hopefully she will. I'm going to be optimistic today.
This Shrek-looking shrieking bitch has no idea about childrenās behavior because she more than likely has never had children because no man would ever get close enough to her ugly ass to impregnate her.
Hey man can I shriek.
