Traveler teaches Karen a lesson during bizarre restaurant encounter
Share this @internewscast.com

A solo traveler created a stir online by detailing her daring reaction to an odd situation with a mother upset over her wine drinking.

According to Reddit user nurseB89, she was enjoying a leisurely all-inclusive getaway in Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands in Spain, when a mom of three confronted her about her wine intake.

The baffled user explained her hotel had ‘club style seating,’ meaning she was sat near strangers while she ate her meals. 

Describing the event, she mentioned being the first to take a seat at a table and savoring a glass of wine when a family of five, consisting of two parents and their three kids, sat down with her.

Trouble arose when the mother noticed her choice of beverage. 

‘We do not wish to expose our children to women drinking alcohol,’ the bothered mom bluntly said, leaving the wine-drinking woman stunned. 

Hoping to remain cordial without backing down, nurseB89 said she simply smiled and suggested the mother and her family move tables – but this only made matters worse.  

‘They noticed I was on my own and made passive aggressive comments about this,’ the user wrote.

She then went to go get food from the buffet. When she returned, her wine glass was missing. 

‘A waiter came over and asked to see my wrist band (for the all inclusive) and said the family had told them I was underage and must have sneaked away from my parents,’ the fed-up vacationer wrote. 

After sorting it out with the employee, she was given a new glass of wine just as the family returned to the table with their food. 

With no intentions of appeasing the ‘Karen’ mom now, she decided to take advantage of the all-inclusive resort – ordering an entire bottle of wine and a couple of vodka shots.   

‘The family stormed out the [restaurant] when I drank the shots as they arrived at the table!’ she announced.

With more than 32,000 upvotes and 2,000 comments, social media users had plenty to say about the situation. 

‘It’s just WOMEN drinking alcohol. What the heck is that about? It’s clearly not an issue with alcohol as much as it is with women. Sheesh,’ someone reacted.

‘I can’t believe this situation. She doesn’t want to expose her children to seeing someone drink alcohol, but she’s willing to expose her children to her own lying!’ another wrote. 

Many users commended her actions and said they would have done the same thing. 

‘You are an absolute legend for requesting the full bottle of wine and vodka shots. This level of pettiness is something we should all aspire to,’ one user said.  

One person said it was ‘an interesting way to get your point across’ and another admitted it was a ‘total AH move’ but ultimately thought it was called for. 

Beyond Reddit, an etiquette expert has chimed into the heated discussion, telling Fox Digital the mother’s behavior was ‘inappropriate.’

‘On a vacation, where the tables are open for anyone to sit, a guest should be able to order whatever they would like,’ Diane Gottsman, founder and owner of the Protocol School of Texas in San Antonio, told the outlet. 

‘If the mother does not want her children exposed to alcohol, it’s a personal, family preference and the rest of the table should not be expected to follow her self-imposed rule.

‘If the mother was that opposed, she should have gotten up and taken her family to another table.’
