Okay so before I say how, let me give you an explanation about why I was bullied. I have a walking problem because ever since the summer before sixth grade I dislocated my knee. and ever since my walking has been a little unstable. Okay so this guy In sixth grade commented on my walking said "Hey, penguin!" because of my wobble. I have been taunted and made fun of by him and many others before so I hated myself to the point I found it funny enough. I loudly honked at him and everyone started laughing. his face went white and he walked away from us. He stopped messing with me after that

There was this girl, who was one grade above me and coincidently my NEIGHBOR. She was really nice to me in the beginning of the school year, and then for some reason became really toxic to me near the end of the year.
This dimbo got "offended" at me for a stupid reason. I'll spare you the details because it's long.
Anyway, let's call this girl K for Karen. K and her gang of Karens started insulting me. It was just like a roast war... K just goes "You dress like a little kid and I dress like a teenager".
I just shot back at her with "Oh really? I didn't know teenagers attended ELEMENTRY school, how stupid do you have to be?"
She left me alone after that. Mostly.

Not a Karen, but a self fulfilled salesperson got put into place by me. I'm a female IT manager and helped out a male colleague in a selection process for a specific piece of software. This accountmanager comes by to speak about his product. He was all fluff and didn't know anything about the specs we were looking to learn about. I did ask some of the questions, hoping to get some answers. Also, no answer is an answer too. At one time he started speaking to my colleague about me. Clearly not happy with all those hard questions like what does your product do. And he said something like "you're little colleague asks a lot of right questions". Now to put I into context, that's a little less crazy translated in Dutch, but still belittling of course. I honestly couldn't help to let out a chuckle and he knew the meeting was over right there and then. I really didn't even mean too, it just came out, but he deserved it anyway.

There's this kid at my school who's widely known even among the higher grades to be the biggest jerk over the rainbow. He specifically likes to pick on this one kid in my grade who's really, really short and for real looks three grades younger than the rest of us. Once whenever we were all switching classes he called him a couple names and shoved him down the hallway to "give him an extra boost because he can't walk that far with such short legs". Now I had just about had it with this moron so I walked up to him and, in front of literally everyone in my grade, yelled, "ARE YOU EMBARRASSED THAT YOU POOPED YOUR DIAPER THIS MORNING" and walked away and everyone was laughing so hard they were crying. He never talked to me again after that and as far as I know he's left the short kid alone :)

When I was in 1st grade my friend and I had a mild obsession in guinea pigs. This included pretending to be guinea pigs at recess, eating carrots like rodents, and sometimes weeping (we consider their little squeals to be weeps) at each other. There was one kid with anger issues. He had to be calmed down with snacks and ones time everyone was hurried out of the art class because he had just had a tantrum and flipped a desk. So anyways, he bullied me a lot and decided he didn't like our weeping so he started shouting "MOOO MOOO I'M A COW" whenever he saw us. I proceeded to yell "MOOO MOOO I'M AN IDIOT" at him.

So I have an aunt whos name is literally Karen. She even acts like a Karen but she doesn't care. She has this one friend who we will call sharon. They are kinda close but we dont like her very much. She has constantly brought her to FAMILY events like fathers day and other holidays. she messaged my mom and said she was gonna bring sharon and her husband and their FOUR kids to our thanksgiving dinner. We were furious because they were anti maskers and my grandmother just had surgery. My mom quickly made the choice to not have the dinner with them and instead we had one with just my mom and my sisters. Now my aunt is in florida and they have so many covid cases and we call it "the land of her people"

Not me my Mom. She works at Texas Corral. A lady comes in and immediately complains to the hostess that she has been waiting 1 minute to be sat. When she is sat she complains her table is dirty. Then she orders fajitas and then lets them sit. Then complains they are overcooked. My mom walks up to her with the manager and the lady starts yelling at my mom that the service is terrible. Then the manager speaks and says you can not talk to her like that leave. The lady just sits there and asks for free dessert and then she is forced to leave.

A grown man and his friend were teasing the four-year-old son of a doctor. At one point, he asked him, "Doctor W__, I have a headache. What should I do?"
"Amputate," I said.

I'll always remember being in a old fashioned music store where a the man David who works there is a brilliant violinist and an expert on all musical instruments especially the violin. I was chatting to him about an up and coming concert that he was playing the solo when "Karen" walked in holding a rather bashed up violin case. "Are you the violin expert?" she asked David. "Yes" , "Oh great, I have here a Stradivarius and I want you to tell me what it's worth". David looked sceptical. Stradivarius violins are rare and don't just show up in high street music shops. "Can I have a look at it?" he asked . "Karen" handed it over. David looked at it and even I could see that it wasn't a Stradivarius it was so cheap and battered looking. But to humour the woman David looked it over and glanced inside the F holes. "This is most definately not a Stradivarius" he said. "Karen" went nuts. David stood there while she berated with the usual "call yourself an expert? What do you know? and the How can you tell by just looking at for all of 5 seconds? David said to her "look in the left F hole and tell me what you see." She looked in and then stood quiet. "What is in there" David said "is a label with Chinese writing on it, and I can tell you that from that this violin was probably made only a couple of decades ago. Stradivarius was born in 1644 and died in 1737 and never went to China." He gave "Karen" her violin back and she left the shop in silence.

I was in the midst of 3 awful years of home nursing my husband through the cancer that took his life. Made a night run to the grocery store which had a poorly lit parking lot that was crowded. Finally I saw a car pulling out of a spot & I pulled into it. I got out of my car and was upset to see that a couple in a pickup had been waiting for the spot that I just slipped into. Before I could apologize & get back in my car & move out, the man driving the pickup rolled down his window & began shouting terrible things at me. I called back to him that I was sorry & that I just didn't see him. He verbally cut me off, yelling "Sure, yeah sure you didn't!" Exhausted, weary, I suddenly got uncharacteristically angry and yelled back "Mea Culpa! You've never made a mistake??!! My husband's dying of cancer. There's more important things in life than a parking place!" And out of the dark, a man who had witnessed it all, walked by me and said "That's the truth.! You tell him, lady!" But I left & cried because that was my very last bit of energy at that time & I'd never acted like that before. I decided later that I didn't stoop to his level, that he deserved my words for being mean & rude when what I did was truly unintentional, nor was I allowed to explain or fix it, only be judged & berated.

Once when I was at summer comic camp, there was this really horrible, homophobic guy, who we'll call Gerald. (Couldn't draw worth a damn, either. He thought he was really good and wanted everyone to know it.)
So one day, my friend Lucy came in with a really funky new haircut, and she'd dyed her hair blue. And I was like 'Wow, Lucy, you look so cute!' and she was like 'Aww, thanks, you too!'
Gerald overheard us and he said 'Ugh, you two are so gay! That is disgusting!'
He'd been like this for the whole camp and I didn't want to deal with his sh*t so I just said 'Go f*ck yourself, Gerald.'
'Why, so you can get your lesbo on with your fellow faggot? Gays make me sick.'
'Don't deepthroat so far, then.'
I will be clear: I HAVE NO IDEA WHY OR HOW I SAID THAT!! I don't like confrontations!!
But it continued...
'DiD YoU jUsT cAll mE GaY?!' screeched Gerald. 'You should just die!!'
'If I wanted to die, I'd climb your ego and jump to your IQ. I don't have time for your sh*t, Gerald. Like I said before, go f*ck yourself.'
And then Lucy and I just waltzed out of the room. LIKE A BOSS.
Needless to say, the drinks were on Lucy when lunchtime rolled around.

This happened on the plane with my dad. This guy was being rude about the kids (my siblings) kicking the back of his chair and just staring at them. They weren't kicking his chair, they were moving around and happened to be moving his chair by simply moving. So my dad and he started to fight after we got off, and my dad said something that made him never go in contact again that day.

Alright, here we go...
Long story short, these eighth grade thots were vaping in the bathroom, and one of 'em said "Ugh, I hope those (Furry directed slur) get kicked out."
I, as a proud country vixen, without skipping a beat, say "How 'bout ya keep that sh** attitude to yourself."

I was bullied for years by a Karen. One day, I wanted to jump the rope with her and asked " Can I try?". She said, "Sorry, everyone here thinks you're weird.". I said, "How does being weird make me less able to jump over a rope?". I never got an answer. Must've been a challenging question.

This one is kind of stupid, but when I was in 7th grade there was this guy, Let's name him Brice. Brice was a bully because he thought it was cool. We were playing hockey in gym (one of my favorite sports) and the gym was divided into girls and boys. I was put on the girls team. Brice's team kept cheating the entire game by wacking people with their sticks and shoving people (wich was against the rules... it was middle school not the fucking NHL). I was MAD. He was NOT going to ruin my favourite unit. So, I was put up in center. Burce was facing off against me for the puck. I don't really know what happened. He kept making fun of me for "not being a girl" because I wasn't wearing skirts and kept making fun of my short hair (This was while we were waiting for the coach to blow the whistle). The whistle blew and I stole the puck shoved like three guys out of the way and slap sticked the puck into the net. My team cheered, but I really didn't care because I was still furious. We lost, but after I got our first point, we only lost 12-13. That was the closest to ever winning a game between them. Brice is still at my school, and he's still an asshole. But he has stopped making fun of my clothes and hair. He even had the balls to come up to me after I got it cut even shorter and told me I looked nice.
