Unsolicited advice is literally the worst. This is especially true when you’re just trying to go about your day and somebody butts in telling you what to do. Even worse is a nosy Karen who has to say something about the way that you dress. Apparently, nobody can be themselves without a Karen speaking up. This is what a Florida woman experienced at her local Walmart and she didn’t just let the comment fly.
TikToker Payt (@bbyp8) was at Walmart buying pimple patches when she was approached by a wild Karen. She was dressed for your typical Florida summer in her tank top and shorts. This was probably no different than everyone else doing their grocery shopping. The nosy Karen came up to her and asked, “You’re not cold?” Payt replied, “I mean, I’m a little cold, it’s cold in here.”
Because Karens can’t let us have anything, she had to reply with a snarky comment. She said to Payt, “Well, they make clothes.” Payt shot back at her without missing a beat, “They make muzzles, too, if you’re interested.”
The conversation would leave any normal person reeling as they wonder why that lady felt the need to say anything. Who looks at a person in a grocery store and decides that she’s going to judge them for their clothing? It makes you wonder what she would say about the many people who roll out of bed with their pajamas on and make their trek to Walmart every morning.
Commenters seemed to be in agreement with the fact that it’s best for people to keep their mouths closed instead of saying what they really think when it’s not necessary. One person commented, “So happy people are finally clapping back to unsolicited rudeness.” Another asked, “In the Walmart? It’s a judgement free zone we are all in Walmart, it’s not cotillion.”
Apparently, she isn’t the only one to receive unsolicited comments or advice from a Karen in a Walmart. A commenter quipped, “I have to prep myself for at least 15 minutes in my car before I go into Walmart.” Trust me when I say this is a real thing. You’re going to run into at least 15 people you graduated high school with any time you enter a hometown Walmart. It’s never get in, get out without unexpected drama.
