re: Karen calls cops on my wife for leaving kids in AC’d car

Nah, here's what I think is the real story:

Your wife, being a woman, got more than one thing and spent way more than five minutes in the store because she's a woman. When she finally comes out the cop is there and is already writing a ticket. Your wife grabs his arm and says "Surely we can discuss this for a few minutes in your cruiser?"
