Change can be very refreshing at times. Sometimes taking the same approach to a similar problem can get boring, you have to optimize a little and the payoff suddenly becomes so much more satisfying.
Reddit user u/Spydyr2018 decided to put a spin on the normal strategy they use when they get stopped by mistaken people who think of them as a worker at any store they are at. Usually, OP gets aggressive when such a thing happens but this time while they were shopping at a local store, they decided to be nice to a Karen who stopped them thinking they were an employee and asked for something.
OP did so by manipulating words and treating her as if she was an employee. She couldn’t understand what was happening as OP kept having fun playing with the one brain cell she had. OP did this to teach Karen a solid lesson about not making assumptions. Ultimately, the Karen stormed off.

2. It happened while OP was shopping at a local store.

3. Apparently OP has had such an experience in the past and this time they wanted to throw a different spin on the traditional strategy.

4. The lady who approached OP didn’t look like the traditional Karens we are used to seeing. Everything is unique about this story.
Via u/Spydyr2018
5. She is definitely the traditional Karen from the inside.

6. Does that concern OP? I don’t think so.

7. OP decided to pull an Uno Reverse card on K by making her the employee in the story.
This is brilliant.
Via u/Spydyr2018
8. This is beyond genius. OP is all over K with the assumption she had set in her mind.
Via u/Spydyr2018
OP, you have my respect. Your creative mind deserves to be rewarded. The Karen has literally no idea what is happening to her. She is still not realizing that OP is doing exactly what K did, making a wrong assumption and they are doing it to teach her a lesson. I don’t think she will understand it but still, it is a great strategy and I am absolutely loving it.
Let’s see what happened next. Scroll down below to continue reading.
9. K is looking in a mirror right now.

10. Why did you assume OP was an employee, then? There, K has been thrown under the bus.
Via u/Spydyr2018
11. This is beautiful. All systems in K’s head just malfunctioned. I am sure she is going to be so confused when she reflects on the whole event in the evening.

12. People who get mistaken for employees should now n use this extremely effective strategy.

Here’s what the internet had to say about this:
13. With absolute perfection.

14. In a parallel universe where this happens on a daily basis.

15. OP would become a best seller in no time.

16. Put the Karen in a spiral they are so famously known for putting other people in.

17. We all wish we could’ve seen this magnificent event take place.
Sometimes you have to back a lie really well to kick sense through the head of the other person. That is what OP did in this story and I would like to applaud them for using this unique approach. And I fully agree with that Redditor who wants OP to write a book, I would certainly want to read more first-hand stories from them.
I really hope you guys enjoyed this one. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
