A short video of a woman encountering “instant karma” after a racist outburst has Redditor in stitches.

The woman in question is already in the middle of berating workers behind the counter when it begins, complaining about “whatever language” they were speaking and sounding as if she may have encountered a problem with her order.
“This is America, and you get it right the first time,” she screeches.

She starts to walk away, but angrily lunges back for no apparent reason, repeating: “You get it right the first. Get it right the first time.”
The woman repeats those same words one last time as she finally does walk away — and directly into a door.
She appears momentarily stunned by her own failure, looking back over her shoulder as if the entire restaurant didn’t just watch her embarrass the hell out of herself in more ways than one, and finally goes silent as she turns back to the door to pull rather than push.
Redditors pounced on her over in the PublicFreakout forum, chalking up her collision with the exit to karma taking its course.
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out,” u/Chester-Copperpot- quipped.
“Pull, not push,” joked u/Shaneblaster. “Always makes grand exits embarrassing.”
Another user quoted the Rolling Stones, saying that “you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.”
Some pointed out that the clip is actually from a 2015 video — before the internet was so adept at exposing Karens — and the longer version apparently included her getting angry about the restaurant including green peppers in her order rather than red.

“My kids don’t eat green things, they eat red peppers!” she shouted, as if the restaurant was personally responsible for and knowledgeable about her children’s dietary choices. “The customer is always right, that’s how it works here, and I don’t have time for this.”
The woman doesn’t appear to have ever been identified, although the video did go viral enough to hit the news — and stick with people long enough to get reposted to Reddit in an even shorter, sweeter clip six years later, where u/pjthagreat really summed it up with their top comment:
“She didn’t get it right the first time.”
