Karen Alert: Head-Butting Woman Duct-Taped to Seat Rakes in Hefty Fine

It’s that time of the day again, your much-deserved break for today’s daily Karen moment.

Karen’s flip-out was so grievous that it garnered a response from Transportation Secretary himself, Pete Buttigieg.

“Look, it’s one thing to be grumpy on a flight. I feel that way sometimes,” Secretary Buttigieg said Friday. “But it’s another thing to endanger flight crews and to endanger fellow passengers. We have no tolerance for that.”

Well said, future President.

Some might say she was the trendsetter for duct-taped passengers around the world.

And all because they were out of Diet Coke.
