u/Good_Practice_8441 took her story when she encountered a Karen at the local park to the subreddit
AmItheAsshole and gained support from the internet. The poster and her friends were overweight, so they usually came to the nearby park to work out. One day, while they were practicing exercises at the park, a woman who came there with her children stared at them for 10 minutes before coming over to their place.

The strange woman came to inform the Redditor and her friends that they were in a family park, so they were not allowed to wear clothes such as bike shorts and sports bras. The poster was baffled as she thought her outfit was totally normal on such a sweltering day.

The Redditor kept asking the woman what was the problem with them as this mother did not complain about a woman with the same outfit at the playground.

After asking many questions, the poster and her friends realized the woman's hostility toward their heavy bodies. However, the woman did not admit that she was shaming other people and kept using the “family park” reason to justify her action. She even threatened to call the police for indecent exposure.

At the end of the day, the poster figured out that the woman she met at the park had complained about the situation on the neighborhood app. She believed that people should not wear those kinds of clothes in front of children. Some supported her idea under the post, which confused the Redditor about whether she was in the right.

In response to the Reddit threat, most stated that it was normal to wear sports outfits when going to parks for workouts. They thought the woman was unreasonable when making a fuss over fat people.
