Karens and Kevins

[Max Headroom]

Below is a quote from a post i posted a few minutes ago in the video forums i don't know if i have been lucky but i have never been challenged when flying i hope this continues.

My question is have members been challenged by a Karen or Kevin, did they have a valid point for the complaint and how did you deal with it.

I have had people come up and ask about the drone and so far they have been genuinely interested and not at all upset about me flying it i hope this continues and i never meet one of those Karens you see on some videos.

That has been my experience as well. If I happen to be in an area that might raise questions, such as a residential area, and am asked what I am doing, I simply reply that I did a repair on the drone and am in the process of testing it out. It seems to satisfy their curiosity and I invite them to watch or look at the controller screen. Most people are interested in the drone and ask questions like what does it do and how much does it cost.

As I've gotten older, I have developed a very low tolerance for people like "Karens/Kevins" however. If approached, and asked what I was doing, I would offer some flippant answer like "Flying a drone." or "I'm not sure!" I'm sure it would all go south from there, but I'm pretty confident I can succeed in getting to storm off fuming. I have a master's degree in jerking chains.
