Judge away Karen

I took a friend of mine to have a procedure done since her boyfriend became unavailable at the last minute.  And that was fine.

Surgery didn’t start on time (an hour late) but I could deal with that too.

Met a nurse in the parking lot who has to go clear off the property of the hospital for which she works in order to sneak a smoke.  Enlightened her regarding masks and especially the covid shots.  Told her about Birx’s book.  She was surprised but listened.

Then my friend’s surgery was done.  I got the call to come in and listen to the instructions since she’d been given ketamine and probably wouldn’t remember.

And then the party started.

I stated that I would not wear a mask.

The person on the other end of the phone said “we’ll give you a mask.”.

I said, “that is not the problem.  I will not wear one.”

“But you can’t come in without one.”

“Don’t care.  Write the instructions down and send my friend out with them. I can read.”

“I’ll come out and go over them with you.”  Which she did, wearing a mask. Outside. *sigh*

Once we were done she asked The Question.  “Are you vaccinated?” 

My reply:  “Actually it’s none of your business but I’ll be polite and answer.  No. Because they don’t work any better than your mask does.” (Okay, maybe not polite.)

“Oh.  I have friends like you.  I don’t judge.” (it’s the same tone of voice when a limousine liberal claims they have black friends.  Trying to show they are open minded and only getting to FAIL.).

And of course meant that she’s a Karen trying not to piss me off.

And here’s where I should get the prize for NOT saying “I don’t care if you judge or not.  Your opinion or judgement mean less than nothing to me, you officious, uninformed, uneducated sheep-like bint.”  It almost happened but it’s my friend’s doctor and she has to go back.

In any case, I poured my friend into the car and got her home safely, which was why I was there anyway.
