‘You can go somewhere else if you like!’: Harried hospital worker finally snaps at furious Karen

As one user commented, “send her a patient dismissal letter ASAP!!!”

On yet another episode of Karens Gone Wild, we’re transported to the calming reception area of a doctor’s office. That is, until a very loud and profane Karen attempts to exert her dominance on a polite receptionist. Think again, lady!

TikTok user @lexxa_88 was having a pretty regular day before a customer walked in and started huffing and puffing at her. What initially seemed like a pretty cordial encounter soon turned into a flare up. After being late to her appointment by one hour, the customer asked for a reschedule. Understandably, @lexxa_88 searched her calendar for the nearest available date. “27th is the soonest,” she said.

Unfortunately, Karen wouldn’t budge, demanding an earlier date. “You BETTER find something sooner. 27th is not gonna work,” she replied. It didn’t take long for her to, in signature style, start yelling at the worker.

“Okay, you can go somewhere else if you like,” @lexxa_88 politely insisted.

In the second part, which she also posted, she returned Karen’s energy back to her after being called several inappropriate names. “If you’re gonna be talking to me like that, I’m gonna need you to exit and go to a different doctor cause we’re not gonna deal with you being late to your appointment.”

As expected, our not-so-lovely Karen pulled out the “kids” excuse, claiming she doesn’t have child support. Coupled with these excuses, she began hurling even more insults and f-bombs at @lexxa_88.

The comments are just so hilarious, with different users on @lexxa_88’s side.

“Every clinic needs someone like you,” commented @jveggaa, while @zujyyy said, “Yes girl!!! Don’t ever let a customer try to underestimate you nor let them speak to you a certain way just cause you’re at your workplace!! Love this!”

User @lovemarr__ hilariously posted, “Yes!! I love this, I work at a bakery and people get made because they came late to pick up their cake and we are closed ☠️”

According to Pew Research, “rural Americans live an average of 10.5 miles from the nearest hospital.” Those in suburban and urban areas have to travel 5.6 and 4.4 miles respectively. So since our nagging Karen didn’t adopt a nicer persona, she most likely ended up in a bit of a bind. Seeing as she’s already in one hospital, that’s additional 20 minutes to the next center. Heck, if she’s in a rural area, she’s looking at over half an hour’s worth of distance to cover. Looks like it pays to be nice after all.

While working in healthcare is already a herculean task, dealing with grumpy customers can make anyone reach for a nearby anesthetic. Good luck out there @lexxa-88, and anyone else in sight of a grumpy Karen at the workplace.
