Ah, nothing like the sweet aroma of fresh-brewed coffee to start the day… unless you happen to be in line with this woman. A viral video taken at Community Goods in West Hollywood, California shows a full-blown morning meltdown as a loud, irate woman unleashes a racist tirade on an unsuspecting fellow customer. The now-infamous โ8 am crowdโ moment, shared on Reddit, captures everything from high-pitched screeching to an actual attempt at spitting, all before the caffeine even kicks in.
The video, which has racked up thousands of upvotes, features a woman berating a man in line, calling him “ugly” and “fat” while making racist remarks about his appearance, claiming he looks Persian or Iranian. The irony? The woman herself is neither a picture of grace nor self-awareness, as many Reddit users were quick to point out.
“She calls him ugly and fatโฆ?” one commenter wrote in disbelief. Another noted, “Whole lotta projection going on here.”
Beyond the insults, she seems fully convinced of her own allure, at one point declaring herself โthe most gorgeous woman in the world.โ Reddit, of course, had thoughts on that.
“Honey, youโre not even the most gorgeous girl in a five-foot radius,” one user quipped. Another joked, “Well, she is a girl with a five-foot radius.” Ouch.
As if things couldn’t get worse, the woman then attempts to spit at her verbal punching bag, a move that most people would categorize as assault. Unfortunately for her, physics had other plans, and let’s just say it didn’t quite hit the intended target.
“Dude, she gets back in line. You can’t do that and just get back in line,” one person observed. Another chimed in with, “If someone spit on me, I’d consider that assault and I’m going to fight back.”
Of course, no viral โKarenโ moment is complete without that signature, ear-piercing voice.
“She sounds like I imagine the pain of a migraine feels,” one commenter said. Another joked “I hope they gave her decaf.”
Itโs unclear what happened after the recording stopped, but one can only hope she was promptly denied her overpriced matcha and sent on her way.
“God, I hope that when she got to the front, they denied her service,” one Redditor mused. Another had a different wish: “I hope they gave her decaf.”
With the video spreading fast, it’s only a matter of time before the internet sleuths identify her. When they do, expect the usual apology tour featuring phrases like “this isnโt who I am” and “I was just having a bad day.” Maybe she just really needed that coffee, though something tells us that wouldnโt have helped.
