Entitlement can only get you too far
Being confident is one thing. Confidence is something every living being encourage, you could be confident in yourself and stay committed. That is the easiest route to success. But many people take this confidence up a notch and become overconfident. Now, this is a very thin line that you have to cross in order to be overconfident. The only difference is, that you are confident when you know whatever you are being backed by is robust and you are definitely going to achieve what you have set your head towards because the factor of ego and high esteem don’t exist. But when you are overconfident, there isn’t really a robust plan behind your ambitions and just take everything head-on without estimating the consequences, or in other words, without preparing for the situation. So as an overconfident person, you would exhibit qualities of a Karen. You will be entitled and full of ego that will convince you that whatever you do, you will succeed at it.
Today’s story is about a Karen who thought she wanted to rob a bank and just went for it. The results, as you guys can already guess, did not go their way as they got arrested but the story is so dramatic and full of twists and turns, you are going to want to read it right to the last full stop.
Without further ado, let’s enjoy this classic bank robbery gone wrong. Scroll down below to enjoy!
1. You can only expect such a thing from a Karen. No one else.

2. OP worked for a company that provided and maintained software for banks.

3. With their team, OP went to a newly merged bank to update their software and they worked after hours so the bank’s proceedings are not disturbed. Very smart.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
4. They went in with what seems like robust planning.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
5. They started their meeting to discuss the plan and that’s when the bank started getting busy.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
6. They had to rush the meeting because the waiting area was filling up, which makes sense as the staff had to serve the customers.

7. The meeting ends and the tea goes out for food. The lead goes to the bank manager’s office and that’s when a random woman jumps the line and follows them to the room.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
8. Hold up, this woman seems very suspicious. What does she want?
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
9. Apparently she wanted to make a withdrawal of some sort but jumping the line isn’t fair to the other customers and that’s what OP told her.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
10. She is very demanding.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
11. I don’t think she is here to get her own money. OP should inform someone about this.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
12. Okay, it is confirmed that Karen is at the bank to rob those $2000.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
13. Woah, this is proper assault.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
14. OP decided it was time to take the calmer route and convince Karen into chilling down.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
15. But Karen was just not having it today.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
16. See if you don’t want to listen to anyone, you are a lost cause.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
17. Karens were born to get on everyone’s head. OP got fed up and was ready to tackle her down if they had to.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
18. And bang, it’s a goal.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
19. Should’ve smacked her earlier, would’ve saved so much time.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
20. The police arrived at the scene and OP thought they were going to get arrested.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
21. But the sirens were rung for the woman when she was screaming for money in the room.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
22. The tag of entitlement was stripped off of that Karen as she was arrested for armed robbery, kidnapping, and assault.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
23. 4 years in prison, that’s what you get when you overconfidently believe you can do everything and no one will do anything about it.
Via u/LuckyTheLurker
Wow. I am actually speechless after going through this story. It was full of suspense but I am glad that justice prevailed as Karen went into jail for her disappointing act. I mean, she should’ve known her chances were going to be pretty slim in front of a guy who had played hockey with big guys. Muscles won and entitlement lost the case that day.
Here’s what the internet had to say:
24. Once again the day is saved, thanks to whoever buzzed the alarm at the right time.

25. I second this.

26. I actually can’t believe this happened. This is the difference between confidence and overconfidence.

27. Imagine if they started forgiving the criminals after an “I was kidding” response.
