Man intervenes after his Karen wife harasses a Black couple "get your stupid ass in the car"

https://www.dailydot.com/irl/man-stops-karen-wife-harassing-black-couple/

?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=scale&h=384&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=768&wpsize=medium_large

The man can be heard yelling at his wife and gesturing to the Black couple, saying, “You don’t know him, you don’t know her.”

“Fuck you. Get in the car,” the man says directly in his wife’s face. It’s unclear what sparked the interaction between the two couples.

The Black woman, who appears to be recording the footage, cackles and yells, “Erin get your stupid ass in the car. Get in the car, Erin.”

The Karen, aptly identified as Erin, says something unintelligible, prompting her husband to repeat, “You do not know him. You do not know her. You don’t know anybody around here. You are not special. Get your stupid ass in the car.”

Erin snapped back saying the Black man was a “fucking crack dealer.” Her husband asked why she thought that—because the man was driving a “fucking Buick”?

"What, cause he's driving a fucking Buick?"

Sounds like it might be uncool but it's pretty hilarious in the context.

I really don't think Erin OR Mr. Erin should be driving, but we'll leave that aside for the moment.

You are not special.

Now there's something that needs to be endlessly repeated to about 38% of the country.

Someone should print that on t-shirts.

Perhaps "Erin, get your stupid ass in the car" as well

Sister, cousin, tinder date, something like that seems more likely.

Instead of by something like 'babe', 'honey', or 'dear'. "Git 'yer ass in the car, dear."

Either that or he's already filed and that's why she's in town.

It would depend on the situation at home, such as children being involved.

I still suspect the "Karen" phenomenon is one of the outcomes of most women never needing to worry about a physical backlash from their big mouths. A lot of men learn at an early age that rude and confrontational comments might cause their faces to get smashed.

"Men goes off at his wife...

It should read, "Man goes off on his wife..."

Then again, it's early and haven't had coffee yet.

"You're not special" sounds like a very old grievance between young children, not a married couple, IMHO.

telling the person you're with, "f... you, you're not special". I don't think even dr phil could save your relationship.

But that was hilarious.

"Because he's driving a fucking Buick? What, did you cross check it?!"

"You're a drug dealer, bae!"

Seems more like siblings than a couple. Or the worst Tinder date ever.

Cute guy, though.
