11:03 am Pacific Time – A San Francisco police spokesman told TMZ … after the suspects got out of the car, one of the passengers reached an open window and spread what is believed to be pepper spray in the car and towards the driver. The suspects fled and the police are now looking for them. The SFPD says that anyone with information should call the tip line.
An Uber spokesman tells TMZ … the behavior seen in the video is terrible and the driver no longer has access to Uber.
This “Karen” without a mask claims to have COVID-19, but that hasn’t stopped her from coughing on top of the Uber driver, while stealing her phone and face mask.
Fortunately, the Bay Area driver recorded the entire incident … capturing the woman screaming, “No, f *** the mask” and declaring “I got corona”. The driver tried his best to get his wife and two friends out of his car, but to no avail.
As if things couldn’t get any worse … “Karen” picks up the driver’s phone from his dashboard before pulling off his mask.

For all this … the driver remained calm and, fortunately, recovered the phone, but not before having to deal with a nightmare scenario very familiar to drive and share drivers everywhere.
“Karen” – who keeps on Instagram for keepinupwforeign – went on social media to explain her side of things and said, “This man’s plan was to go viral from the start, instead of just taking us to our destination as a wtf. “
She continued, “Idk who’s going to go out on the road or at the gas station in the neighborhood with all the things I had! He could have said no [to] enter from the initial period or at least wait at the gas station for our next Uber, but no. “
You can see in the video that “Karen” posted that she’s wearing a mask … but based on her side of the story, it seems that the driver’s problem is that she wasn’t wearing a mask before getting in the car, and just throwing one after getting into a discussion that quickly escalated.
