Karen claims I'm FAKING MY DISABILITY to get me KICKED OUT of a THEME PARK - Reddit Podcast 

I'm the father of an autistic child and another child with seizures but even I know autism is not the only disability in the world. The level of entitlement you have to have to believe that autism is the only qualifying disability in the world that takes entitlement to a whole new level

As someone with an invisible disability, I hate when people tell me I'm not disabled. I cant stand for too long because I have POTs and I'll end up fainting. I've had bus drivers try to kick me out of the disability seating because the sensor was going off to alert the driver that someone was there and she was annoyed by it.

“Disabled enough?” What “level of disability” do you need to skip the line??

I’m autistic and my parents never use passes because of my disability. Since I can get into rides on my own and I can wait patiently wait in line. Even though I’m pretty sensitive to the heat but it’s not like I would easily get hyperthermia. So, I 100% agree with OP in the first story.

Ok so about the first story, the Karen claimed that the op was disabled enough to have the special pass because of the thing that’s going on with their leg, and says it’s not an actual disability. I literally smacked myself in the head when I heard that cause I’m friends with a girl who pretty much has the same disability, except it got so bad that she’s in a wheelchair. A top of that me as way as a crap ton of my friends have autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, and one of thems deaf. Autism is a spectrum disorder and a developmental disability, and there are also some disability’s that effect us in ways that are better or worse. So yeah, I’m glad the OP got on the ride with their friends without having to deal the the Karen any long (I’m sorry if I ranted a lil)

I've had many many times over the years where people come up to my car cause I'm parked in a disabled park, let them rant and rave........then I pull out the wheelchair I've been in since birth. Some apologize, some go "Ohhhh shit!!!" And 1 of them just ran away. Now that 1 was funny hahahaha

My disabilities are obvious to everyone. They significant enough where I need help with some things and I need to use my wheelchair or forearm crutches when I leave the house. For those with hidden disabilities, it is so much harder and my heart goes out to them. Too many people are judgmental and no one should have to "prove their disability" to a complete stranger who has no business to know. Also, if someone uses a disability parking placard, they could be using it for themselves or someone they are with who needs it. Once I was with my sister at a conference and I was using my wheelchair. She had to leave the building and went to her car to grab something. A woman saw the placard in her car and saw my sister who didn't look like she had disabilities and made a rude and snarky comment. My sister cried when she came back and found me. When she calmed down, we went into the conference room. The woman saw me with my wheelchair and my sister pushing me. She turned beet red and it was satisfying to see her being obviously embarrassed.

The water slide story had me in stitches 🤣. Bless your heart! There was no way you could ever know that would happen. Noone was really hurt and it's a very funny story. Definitely not a jerk!!!

As someone with an invisible disability it frustrates me how people treat it. I have a seizure disorder and if there's a time I'm feeling bad it's awful and hate how people would think I'm faking

Story 1: I get it. I have pain syndrome, herniated disk and sciatica. Sometimes I'm fine. But sometimes the pain is so fierce I'm sweating. The problem is I don't know when it will hit and it can be days between. So I might forget my cane. When the pain hits i need to use the disability lines and get what ever help i can. So don't worry, just keep living your life.

If I were in the disabled persons position, I would of went, "Wow, thanks for curing my PERMANENT LEG DAMAGE that is actually diagnosed by a doctor! Thanks for fixing it!"

This first one though💀 No one knows that I have an attention disability because they either think I’m goofy or just don’t know how to focus, especially since I’m in higher classes at school so hearing that makes me want to do bad things to her

That last story was so hilarious and wholesome.

That last story with the burping lady is adorable, they sound like a cute couple, be proud of your burp and never be shy around your significant other especially if they make you really happy and laugh your ass off, and as Shrek once said better out then in.

That Karen pissed me off... I've got a neighbor that is that Karen. I am legally blind (I can still see but I fall under the legal statute as blind and my vision is only going to get worse as I get older) and this woman (who has MS so is disabled herself) constantly calls me a fraud because I am pretty independent and because she has caught me reading my mail. She's gone so far as to try to get me evicted for "lying about being disabled" So I truly sympathize with the OP. I hate people like that Karen...

As a high functioning autistic, I personally despise and seath with rage whenever I hear someone use anyone's disability as an excuse to bully others or better themselves, cause I have gotten screwed over so many times by those exact types of people throughout my life all because i heavily struggled until someone managed to find out what exactly was wrong with me.

Story 2: Too insecure, seriously if your cousin is as beautiful as you say, then someone who can actually say that is normal. Not everyone that calls her beautiful or ask you about her is someone interested in her sometimes it's just a compliment.

"and they can function just fine in society" yea it's called masking. As for story 2 it's not the boyfriend's fault that the op obviously has self esteem issues. Like just because he said she's attractive doesn't mean he's immediately gonna chase her 😂

I have Ehlers Danlos. It is an invisible disease. Since I am recovering from major surgeries I have to use crutches or a motorized cart when I am at the store. I get dirty looks because I "don't look disabled". When I was younger, both teachers and classmates alike bullied me and accused me of faking my problems. Even though I had doctor's notes and a 504, adults would harass me and try to get me kicked off the elevator (which was supposed to only be for people who needed it). Just because these idiots couldn't see the extreme twisting of my bones in my legs.

Story 2: just because someone thinks another person is attractive, doesn't mean they are technically "interested" in that person. I mean, yea it is your cousin so he probably could of kept that to himself, but it's naive to think just because your dating someone, they would never look at another women and say wow, she's pretty.

What really pisses me off is i am disabled. Have stage 3 copd and a screwed up spine. When i get to a grocery store all of the handicapped parking is taken. I have to literally wait for a spot. When i return to my car and struggle to catch my breath I'll see people get out of their cars in another handicapped spot and literally bolt into the stores - no problems!! Why in the world are so many getting these placards and taking the spots that we actually need? Really tired of these selfish lazy people screwing over the disabled!

Gaming is really irrelevant to the situation. I could be sports, for example. It's one thing to have regular habits and schedules. It's another to be pulled away from couple activities that have been planned. If someone won't put in time just for the relationship, then you aren't a priority and aren't compatible.

I’ve had someone say this to me. I was born with spina bifida and can’t walk long distances to I always grab an electrical cart at stores to shop. A “Karen” got up in a huff about seeing me in one she had gone to a manager to have me removed from the store. Saying I wasn’t disabled and didn’t need to use one of the carts. I showed the manager the braces on my legs that were hidden under my pant legs and then turned to the lady and told her that I was disabled and to leave me alone. Let’s say that pissed the “ Karen” off more she literally tried grabbing my arm to pull me from the cart. The manager saw this and had 3 other employees hold the lady back while they waited for the cops to show up. I was so pissed I sat there for 45 minutes telling the cops over and over again what happened eventually showing them my leg braces as well. She got arrested for putting her hands on me and I was able to finish my shopping which should have only been a 20 minute shopping trip turned into almost 1 1/2 hours

When I first came out of hospital I needed a wheelchair for 2 months for mobility outside the home. I used to get my friend to drop me off using the the disabled parking to load & unload from the car. I don't use any parking passes as I was in & out of the car in 1 minute so knew I someone needed to use it more than me. I was abused once when my friend drove in & I hopped out into my wheelchair to clear the space for others. I saw the woman abuse him & when she saw me in the wheelchair she continued with her tirade. I pointed to the wheelchair & she said "he does not have a permit !!!! I pointed to my friend who parked the car 4 spaces over.

With the first story some people are disgusting and treat others with disabilities appallingly, I’ve witnessed this with my brother who has Cerebral palsy Over the years I’ve gotten into a lot of arguments defending my brother but one of the things he found funny is when he would use his disability badge he would park in the spots closest to the supermarket or shops and everyone standing around would look at him and stare shaking their heads visibly annoyed giving him filthy looks, some would shout stuff at him and then he would get out of the car and you could actually see his disability when he walks, then I saw why he would find it so funny everyone quickly looking away at the ground anywhere else but at him after their first reactions he would have his head up high looking around with a massive grin on his face, it was really funny actually 😂😂 But some people are just plain horrible and should mind their own business

Karen in 2100s: “ YOUR DEAD SO YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME!!!! “ The dead guy: “ fine the manager is burried over there “

Story 1: I have a similar situation, I’ve had up to 14 surgeries on my left leg, i have asymmetric legs and need to wear a lifted shoe, it causes a lot of issues for me, I’ve always been afraid of this happening to me.

Finally. Been waiting for another Karen video to scream how dumb some people have to be to be like this.

One time I had some laser surgery on my foot so I had trouble walking sometimes, for that I would try to sit whenever I could when riding the bus A group of women maybe in their 50s or 60s got on the bus and glared at me, I didn’t rly take notice of them Bcuz I was wearing my headphones. One of them tapped me on the shoulder and motioned to the empty seat next to me so I got up so she could get to that seat. Her frd saw the opportunity and sat on my seat, then the other two who were standing said to the women in seats, loudly so that I can hear, “young people these days, u have to force them out of the seats, no respect for elders at all” First of all, altho I’m not old like them, it still hurt to stand, that’s why I’m in the seat Second of all, I had my earphones on, if they had politely asked me to give them their seat, I would, after all, if u had asked for it, I would think that u rly needed it, considering that they did look quite old. But because they thought they were so smart to trick me into getting up, I just mumbled to myself, also loud enough for them to hear, that I also had surgery recently and I’m not trying to be rude. They started to apologise immediately, but the one sitting in my seat didn’t, she just sarcastically said “so u wanna sit back on this seat?” Since I thought it would be stupid to argue over a seat, and I’d be getting off soon anyways, I just told her “no, u can sit on the seat, it just hurts a bit but that’s fine” And the four got quiet The bus arrived my stop around 5 mins after this convo so there wasn’t a big issue

With the gamer story, I completely understand cause my boyfriend is similar. The difference is that he finds ways to still spend time with me by including me while playing or calling me while playing with friends. I myself don’t bother him if he tells me he has prior plans with friends to play, because I am aware that he likes his alone time

As an autistic person, I feel really bad for that poor child of the first karen. Who knows how badly she gets treated if she doesn't want her disability brought up or used like that. I don't like telling people I'm autistic, since I'm so high functioning, there have been people who accuse me of faking because I simply don't 'L0oK' autistic. It's annoying that people tend to forget Autism is a spectrum and I happen to be high functioning and simply have trouble reading social cues

As an autistic WITH ADHD I don't consider myself disabled. The first Karen is definitely out of the line.

No, Karen, respect is earned, not given. Civility is given

To let you know, I think the disease of the bone is osteomyelitis

I'm autistic I am fine in society

My husband games every Tues and Fri nights. Its a scheduled gaming time with his cousins so unless we have something important going on we don't schedule anything for those days.

1st story, autism is a spectrum so there are ones you dont realize they are and others that are non-verbal. I got relatively lucky, im high functioning autistic. With that being said, autistic people have a hard time with loud noises, so a theme park would not be a good place at all for an autistic person.

A friend of mine got simular harasment like in the first one from a couple of elderly women on the bus cos he sits in the disabled area when sat down you wouldnt know that he spends half his time wheelchair bound (context when he can he tries to walk but its a struggle), the 2 women shut the hell up the moment he got off the bus as it becomes super obvious that he is disabled the moment he stands up and tries to walk people need to remember that not are disabilities are visible especially at a first glance

As someone who has cerebral palsy (Had a brain hemorrhage, leg brace, which I had for 14 years now 15,, & am now in 8th grade.) I was marked tardy a lot for missing class just because I had a hard time getting up the stairs. a BIG adjustment with out my leg brace. My CP effects my whole left side of my body & brings weakness to most of my muscles. Once in the 7th grade; my social studies teacher tried to hold me ‘accountable’ for not walking all the way around the hall since we walk in an orderly fashion. And she knew I went to Disney world the week before. I even told her, I was in a wheelchair for most of the time. My legs were absolutely drained. So I go to my physical therapist and tell her what happened. She was FURIOUS, no joke, miss Anna has seen me since I was a baby compared to said teacher. So when we get back to the school my mom has a talk with the principal. Which it makes me feel bad because after she checked me in after PT that morning, I had 5th hour.. social studies.. which I love the class (got A’s & Bs) but mrs jones.. she came to me, looked at me and said “I don’t want to hear about your therapist” I almost cried. Being honest. Almost 15 in the 7th grade; I felt like a baby. I told my mom and In an IEP meeting she asked that 1) I get extended time to switch classes; 2) If needed. Take the elevator. 3) if your legs are tired just go to your class (adaptive PE or ART)) and don’t follow the line. Now I also help my friend who’s wheelchair bound get up the elevator. She also has CP and is learning to walk!! She goes to 9th this year. Now when I told her she said “Girl I’m going to run over her legs so quick!” And trinity meant that- but she didn’t get to do it. (‘Sadly’ as she puts it) Now I also had another friend; 6th grade at the time now 7th. I was afraid for her because of mrs jones. Graclyn; had a walker. And two leg braces. I had one Used to have two. Later on; mrs jones was gone for a week. Soon we learned she was fired for hitting a boy in 7th grade who accidentally stepped on her shoes. The assistant principal was there to!!! & with all the things said by my mom, 1) holding me accountable 2) putting in my grade as a C when it should have been a B 3) telling me she didn’t wanna hear from my therapist. And HITTING a kid?! Disability or not that was NOT okay! Now she teaches the little kids at the elementary school. I honestly hope she’s doing better there. And not judging little kids like me and my friends with disabilities or putting in grades wrong and saying your going to fix them but not. Thank you for listening (my hands are tired)

hydroplaning Orca... too funny!!! lmao

I adore the burping story, that is how you know you have a VERY solid relationship

Story #1 When KAREN said "RESPECT YOUR ELDERS," she should also mind people's business.

So I got a disability parking permit because I have heart issues and a Connective Tissue Disorder that attacks my knees so I have extreme joint pain. I currently don't have knee braces because my last ones broke and I don't have the money for new ones. I can walk but it is painful. The parking permit allows less walking for me. This lady gave me a very disgusted look when I went into the gas station yesterday and she wouldn't take her eyes off me. I was surprised she didn't say anything to me.

some disabilities that are internal are usually a bit harder to show

It's against the ADA to ask what your disability is. I beg everyday for someone to make me rich.

With story 4, was anyone else picturing Adam Sandler?

I would never even think of using my diagnosis to skip lines. I'm not going to judge people who do, because I don't know what their situation is. Some people are assholes who abuse systems like this, but most people judge for themselves and do so fairly.

That theme park worker from #1 is a good guy. Thumbs up 👍

In regards to that first story when you mentioned that you have a relative who is on the autism spectrum and they can function just fine: Austism is a *spectrum*. Meaning it can be somewhat minute, like it just makes you have trouble understanding some jokes or implied social cues or get easily stressed out by continuous loud noises (Like a large crowd) like myself, all the way to being incredibly debilitating, and in numerous completely different ways, so the kid very well may have needed that pass. Not defending the Karen in the story, just trying to clear that up.

Ok, that runner looks fun as heck

I love your different voices 😂😂😂...the Karen voice is amazingly accurate

love your content, I listen to you on Spotify, keep it up!

There’s also a difference between physically disabled and mentally Neuro divergent and how it affects certain things like getting special parking or different lines

Glad to be this early love your videos keep it up ❤️

I am a Disable Vet. But I never use it to get me in line.

him:*tells the story* me:watching the gameplay In. the back round

What is it with entitled people and thinking every person in the world other than them or their freinds or their kids is faking disabilities?

that last story was so wholesome

Disney calls them Disability Access Passes, while other places just call them Access Passes. Those kinds of passes aren't just for wheelchair users, they are for people who can't spend extended periods of time in long lines, whether it's because standing for extended periods is painful, or because being in crowds makes you debilitatingly uncomfortable.

For Story #1: I’m high functioning Autistic and I can get around just fine however I also have a seizure disorder which acts up if I overexert myself, Or if I’m dehydrated or if I haven’t eaten enough.

DISABLED MEANS DISABLED

The first story kind of puts me in a story that I should share about my grandpa. About him being disabled

I got screamed at my entire childhood into my teens for having anxiety after my mom gave up custody of me to my dad ( who 8d met twice) ... my mom told me about 2 hours before he was going to pick me up at 6 years old. My stepmom was the devil I'm pretty sure. The first thing she did was throw away my blanket and bear ( that were my 2 favorite things on earth besides my mom) Then she'd throw away anything my mom bought me for the next 8 years. My dad eventually divorced her and to this day tells me how horrible he had it ( when he worked 24/7 & left st her will., he had a bed in his office) I hope he dies

The mom is a terrible person, just hide it from her until you can move out.

My burps are inaudible. We got one of those sound measuring tools and I barely triggered it. MY SISTER. Oh gosh. I forgot the number but it registered. Me and the boys had to take an L in her presence. One guy tried rigging his guy with something “extra” whatever that meant and her second attempt blew that out of the water. She was holding back in front of her boyfriend at the time and the second one “didn’t feel right”. That’s sister for “that wasn’t my full power”.

I’m disabled as well. I’m 6’5” and can stand and walk normal. I can lift up to 30lbs and I breathe ok. However unbeknownst to anyone I’m struggling with terminal stage 4 cancer. I have tumors in my femurs, spine, arm, skull, liver and lungs. My right kidney was removed because of tumor. I’ve had 3 rounds of chemo, 5 bouts of radiation, and way too many radioactive scans than a normal person. I’ve had a saddle pulmonary embolism, spine fractures and a femur fracture. I’m a fighter and push myself hard to survive and improve. I’m proudly no longer in a wheelchair or using walking aids. My crutch is my fatigue and easily high heart rate. I sleep 14 hours a day and when walking my heart rate can hit 170 in a few minutes. I need constant rest. I take lots of pain medication that’s skirting a fine line between 0 pain and still having the ability to drive. It really sucks taking 9 horse pills and 11 other pills per day. The constant skin rashes suck also. I’m very self conscious about my disability because it’s not readily visible.

love your vids

I am a 100% disabled veteran, all of my problems are under my skin. Looking from the outside I appear fine although my gate may indicate one of the problems. It is a foolish to assume because one “looks fine” one is not disabled.

My little brother had seizures and had the mentality of a 2 year old at the age of 6 and i was 7 at the time and it was the worst, i love him and hes normal now but i cant imagine this happenong to him. I am an overprotective big bro... Like seriously.

Story 4 was awesome to hear. Lol.

About the third story, she should just join the guild. she said she used to play games like that as well so it might be fun

I call them Krackens.. Saves on Kevins or Karens as I know a lovely person called Karen.

In my first year of college, I met another student, and we started dating almost immediately. She later told me, after we broke up (over a misunderstanding), that her mother tried to break us up. She didn't like her daughter and I dating only because I was shorter than her. I'll admit that there was a difference. She was 5' 10", and I was 5' 2". There was also a beauty and the beast situation: she was absolutely beautiful and me, I wasn't.

The only time it's anyone's business is when you're parking in a disabled spot without a disabled badge. They aren't for yummy mummies.....

Bro I see that water slide as a parent I would have been impressed

S1 Qaren: You don't look disabled OP:Neither do you, Qaren. What is it? Rotting brain cells?

I have autism and mild intellectual disability. People often say i am faking or am a attention seeker. Its hard if its by your own family members

In my high school years. I silenced the lunchroom with one of my burps. I mean all you could hear after it was the lunch ladies working in the kitchen. Every student was looking around confused. Lol once the talking started again me and my friends left. 😆

the advice you gave the lady in story number 3 is just to try and convince her boyfriend that she's not being clingy and manipulative, even though that's totally what she's doing.

Okay, not all autistic people are the same. There are different levels, just because one person can function doesn't mean they all can. True, in general, you can't SEE it, but that doesn't mean anything. I have a severely autistic daughter who would not be capable of waiting in a long line, which is why we've never been to a theme park. Granted, with my child you only have to watch her for two seconds to realize she has severe autism. It shouldn't be a "who is the most disabled" contest. Everyone should just mind their own business and not worry about who is more disabled.

Keep making great content. I like that Karen voice.

12:45 - "Unfortunately, I also took out three unsuspecting kids the the process-" STRIKE!

While the boyfriend in the second story was really open about liking her cousin, and did make it seem like he wanted her instead, you can't really blame someone for being attracted to an attracted person.

Karen's entitlement is as follows: Free 'illegal' searches by police Free fast pass to jail Entitled to bans from parks, arcades, and other public places Double price on everything Free Karen haircut and voice pattern Manager request mode always on

Third story is hilarious

The gamer story. The guy really needs to prioritse better and decide if he is gonna spend time with his girlfriend that he sticks with it. The game isnt gonna leave or become unreleased if he doesnt play for a day and his friends need to respect that sometimes he is not available.

Yo AMITJ team love you guys keep up the good work

story 4- my god that cracked me up!

My dad crashed his bike and broke his leg in 6 places So he uses disabled parking and fast lanes at airports etc. Also I’m autistic and can move without problems. It’s a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain not something that affects physical properties (dunno if that’s how to say it but screw it)

Story 5: actually you brake the sound barrier by going faster than sound, it has nothing to do with how loud it was🤓. Really though that’s a great relationship

My son has autism and I assure you he is disabled and could not function normally in society.... So much for the Karen making assumptions

As someone on the spectrum, of all the disabilities to be in a special line for, autism often isn't as extreme as broken limbs. Even though I qualify for those special lines, I don't need them as I can wait in lines just fine. It really depends on the circumstances (not everyone can physically wait in long lines without sensory issues or fainting), but the nerve to call out someone with a clearly visible disability is absurd.

"This entitled karen?" Aren't they all entitled?

Is someone with a high functioning anxiety disorder? I hate it when people say it like I’ll prove it and stuff like oh yeah, you want me to have a mental break down in public and rip my own hair out and I can’t say that I’ve had it since birth I developed it at school and that doesn’t help my case with what are the chances that that happens this is that people like this really suck like I don’t think you’ll be able to get into it I’m disabled but still listen it’s still it’s something that I can’t escape. I have to go to therapy almost every week and it’s something that I can’t escape and when people question that authentic a lot just makes me pissed off like oh if you’re because I didn’t wanna give me a doctors consultation like no thank you. I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want to tell you that I’ve had a mental breakdown said I was gonna do bad things to myself. Can’t even go to school cause I had a mental breakdown, the kiddos, physically disabled and kept bugging me. He wasn’t. It wasn’t his fault he was born like that but I just can’t handle stress like that.

"I have some sort of leg condition, it has a name but idk what it's called"

Autism is a disability and the kid might have actually needed the pass so that they could sit down in line if they got overstimulated and needed a break where they could calm down possibly with headphones on. But ether way it's not ok to just assume that the kid didn't need it.

That would be like people giving s*** to my husband because he looks like a normal adult but he's an autistic adult. So yeah that's just it You never know who has what what's wrong with who or anything until you actually get to know them

story number 1. i would be upset too

I am autistic too and it is not affecting my ability to wait in line and the level of entitlement needed to be like my kid is autistic so I cant wait in line is just crazy

ur videos r awsome
