I’d love to say I was drunk or possessed, but really I was just being an insufferable cliched dick. | OPINION by Kate Halfpenny
As a cisgender, white woman with three children, two European cars and one head of blonde highlights, I go through life running the risk of being labelled an entitled Karen.
So, when the flight was called, I wanted on. The priority lane formed, me four from the front. But the attendant scanning boarding passes decided we were in the wrong lane and refused to let us pass. We had to wait, our precious early boarder status being humiliatingly whittled away as other passengers were waved through.Smallest first world problem in history. But the woman behind couldn’t let it rest. “Why are we being punished?” she demanded.
Two days later, my husband had the Skoda serviced. Did they fix the back wiper? Nah, he said. Still squeaks. Right, said I. First thing Monday, I’m calling, and they can fit it back in immediately. Had it up to here. Nothing worse than a squeaky wiper. Etc. During that last episode, I did have some awareness that I was being a massive loser, but the plane thing has me really worried.
