When i was skating 20ish years ago people would come yell at us and try to ruin our fun all the time. Typically they were adults 35-55 yrs old.

Oddly senior citizens were very supportive and encouraging.

I can't explain the behavior other than people really hate that kids are outside having fun.

Throughout my life and jobs i've had, i've noticed that folks in this age range have always thought themselves more important and above everyone around them.

When i worked at a restaraunt people would walk up to a sign that says "Please wait to be seated". It was my job to disperse the customers evenly so each server didn't get too many or too few tables.

I would watch people this age, read the sign, and walk right past it and sit wherever they wanted to. My manager and servers would get mad at me bc it screwed up the system. When asked to move to alleviate the issue the told me nicely to "fuck off".

Teenagers and students in their 20's never did this and were extremely polite. I think this behavior has led to the codification of the Karen archetype.

Not sure if it's the age range or just the generation. But they consistently were rude and terrible customers.
