A Black woman said she had her first "Karen" experience at an electric car charging station.
In a now-viral video, TikTok user Desi Alexandria showed her encounter with the male "Karen" who attempted to jump ahead of her vehicle in a line for the charging station.
The man approached Alexandria's vehicle and said he was waiting in line but left his place to check another charger at the station. When he discovered the second charger didn't work, the man tried to reclaim his alleged spot in front of Alexandria.
“Hi, I’ve been waiting for this,” the man told the woman.
“I was in line. You weren’t in line?” Alexandria responded.
“I was in line, yes. I went to the charging station over there, and it wasn’t working, so I pulled over here, and I was waiting,” the man said. “I’ve been waiting ahead of you.”
Alexandria checked the man for trying to claim a spot that he left.
“You moved your feet, and you lost your seat, sir,” she said. “How was I supposed to know you were in line?”
The man then tells her where he was allegedly waiting to reclaim the spot.
“I was literally just sitting over here,” he said.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t see you sir,” Alexandria replied.
“I feel like that’s a lie,” the man continued.
“I feel like I’m finna charge. You gotta get away from my car,” the woman said.
The man went on to call Alexandria "difficult" before she rolled up her car window and ended the conversation.
“My first Karen!! The entitlement is crazy,” the TikTok user captioned her video, which garnered over 14 million views as of Wednesday (September 4).
TikTok users supported Alexandria in the comments.
“If you went to another charging station, you weren’t in line,” one user wrote.
"His words: I WAS in line then I went to a DIFFERENT charging station….Sir, good day😂," another added.
"Such class, such elegance, Karen denied. Kudos lil sis🥰," a third person commented.
