Solo female traveler teaches Karen a lesson during bizarre restaurant encounter

A solo traveler sparked an internet uproar by sharing her bold response to a bizarre encounter she had with a mom who took issue with her drinking wine.
Redditor nurseB89 claimed she was enjoying a relaxing all-inclusive trip to Tenerife, the largest of Spain 's Canary Islands, when a mother-of-three complained about her alcohol consumption.
The baffled user explained her hotel had 'club style seating,' meaning she was sat near strangers while she ate her meals.
When the incident occurred, she said she was the first to sit down at the table and was sipping a glass of wine when she was joined by a family of five, two parents and three children.
Trouble arose when the mother noticed her choice of beverage.
'We do not wish to expose our children to women drinking alcohol,' the bothered mom bluntly said, leaving the wine-drinking woman stunned.
Hoping to remain cordial without backing down, nurseB89 said she simply smiled and suggested the mother and her family move tables - but this only made matters worse.
'They noticed I was on my own and made passive aggressive comments about this,' the user wrote.
Sharing her strange interaction with tens of thousands of people on Reddit , she asked, 'AITA [am I the a******] for ordering alcohol?'
She then went to go get food from the buffet. When she returned, her wine glass was missing.
'A waiter came over and asked to see my wrist band (for the all inclusive) and said the family had told them I was underage and must have sneaked away from my parents,' the fed-up vacationer wrote.
After sorting it out with the employee, she was given a new glass of wine just as the family returned to the table with their food.
With no intentions of appeasing the 'Karen' mom now, she decided to take advantage of the all-inclusive resort - ordering an entire bottle of wine and a couple of vodka shots.
'The family stormed out the [restaurant] when I drank the shots as they arrived at the table!' she announced.
Sharing her strange interaction with tens of thousands of people on Reddit, she asked, 'AITA [am I the a******] for ordering alcohol?'
With more than 32,000 upvotes and 2,000 comments, social media users had plenty to say about the situation.
'It's just WOMEN drinking alcohol. What the heck is that about? It's clearly not an issue with alcohol as much as it is with women. Sheesh,' someone reacted.
With more than 32,000 upvotes and 2,000 comments, social media users had plenty to say about the situation
'I can't believe this situation. She doesn't want to expose her children to seeing someone drink alcohol, but she's willing to expose her children to her own lying!' another wrote.
Many users commended her actions and said they would have done the same thing.
'You are an absolute legend for requesting the full bottle of wine and vodka shots. This level of pettiness is something we should all aspire to,' one user said.
One person said it was 'an interesting way to get your point across' and another admitted it was a 'total AH move' but ultimately thought it was called for.
Beyond Reddit, an etiquette expert has chimed into the heated discussion, telling Fox Digital the mother's behavior was 'inappropriate.'
'On a vacation, where the tables are open for anyone to sit, a guest should be able to order whatever they would like,' Diane Gottsman, founder and owner of the Protocol School of Texas in San Antonio, told the outlet.
'If the mother does not want her children exposed to alcohol, it's a personal, family preference and the rest of the table should not be expected to follow her self-imposed rule.
'If the mother was that opposed, she should have gotten up and taken her family to another table.'

EXCLUSIVE Ryanair kicked us off a plane on our dream holiday to Spain because we hadn't paid extra to reserve our own seats

A couple have told how they felt held to ransom by Ryanair after they were kicked off a flight to their dream holiday because they hadn't paid extra to book their own seats - saying: 'when you book a flight, you assume you will get a seat.' Scott McCormick, 33, and Helena Borthwick, 32, had already paid the low cost carrier £384.55 for the return flights from Birmingham to Mallorca in Spain - their first trip abroad in two-and-a-half years. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline following the disappointment, the young couple said they were 'shocked' to discover buying a ticket didn't guarantee them a place on the plane. Helena said: 'The first thing they said to us is 'you're not both getting on this plane'. 'I had no idea this could happen once we'd booked the tickets. When you pay for a flight you assume you will get a seat. I have never heard of someone getting kicked off a flight because they hadn't reserved a seat. 'I had a bit of a meltdown and was in tears because the flight was at 7am and we had to be awake at 2am, I'd only had three hours sleep and with everything going on work-wise it just got to me. 'I immediately heard 'you're not going on holiday at all' but we'd already spent a lot of money, maybe £2,000 on hotel, excursions and a dog-sitter and this just felt like the worst case scenario.' They had chosen not to pre-book seats - normally costing between £4.50 and £33 each - to save money and were fully prepared to sit apart during the two-hour flight on May 1. Despite checking in online the night before and being the first to arrive at the gate they were made to wait until everybody else had boarded before being told the airline had swapped planes for a smaller one, leaving only one seat available between them. The couple were then given the choice of only one of them traveling on their booked flight or both catching a later flight - which they did after being assured they would be switched over for free. But when they returned to the ticket office they were made to pay an extra £100 because staff argued only one of them had been cancelled and the other had chosen not to fly. Meanwhile, they say the whole plane was delayed for 90 minutes while ground crew found and removed their checked-in bags. Scott said: 'We didn't reserve seats because we didn't have to, it'd never been an issue before but at the gate they told us because we hadn't reserved seats there was only one remaining seat. It just feels like a scam by Ryanair. 'There was just a complete lack of empathy, it was just 'you're not going to Spain, go away'. 'We'd been fine to sit apart for two hours on the flight but we weren't going to take separate flights and be in different countries for hours. 'At the gate they told us if we wouldn't separate we would be on the next flight at no extra cost and sent us down to the ticket office, at that point I asked for some proof but they just said it was written on the system. 'But when we went down there they accused us of bending the truth and argued one of us had chosen not to fly so would have to pay an extra £100.' The couple's week-long break included a business mentorship event for their Birmingham-based More Life Coaching business and as a result of catching a flight four hours later they missed an important networking event. Fitness fanatic Scott said he hoped never to fly with Ryanair again but accepted that they hold such a monopoly over some routes he may be forced to. He said: 'Ryanair should have asked all passengers if anyone would like to volunteer their seats. 'It felt like discrimination, how do they pick out these people, is it because we're young and we have no kids so there's just two of us, is it to do with something we don't see or understand. When Scott shared his ordeal on social media, many were shocked to hear that airlines might overbook a flight - though some suggested reserving a seat can help avoid being 'singled out' for not getting aboard. One person said: 'Prepay for a seat, then problem solved. ALL airlines do this.' When someone suggested queuing early to ensure you get a seat, another swiped: 'Or just book your seat.' A third wrote: 'This is crazy! Surely if you pay and don't reserve a seat, you still paid with the intention of getting on a flight how can they not allow you on?' A fourth echoed the opinion of many commenters and said: 'Why do people still fly with Ryanair? It blows my mind! It's the most awful airline.'

Cyclists tackles mountains to get to Glastonbury Festival from Spain

For most of us, getting to Glastonbury Festival usually involves a choice between gridlock traffic in a car, a crowded coach or a ram-packed train. But 25-year-old Ollie White has avoided all three by deciding to cycle – from Madrid in Spain. Over the course of nearly a month he has crossed "desert-like landscapes, a mountain range and hundreds of kilometres of coastline", and has documented every day in TikTok and Instagram videos edited in his tent. "A lot of people think I'm crazy for doing this but for me it doesn't seem too crazy," he told the BBC. "It's just a challenge I've set myself and, at the end of the day, once you've done all the preparation, you just have to get on the bike each day and do the kilometres," he spent the past three years living in Spain and working as a content creator for La Liga, the highest level of Spanish football, Mr White's journey to Glastonbury is part of a longer adventure home to Sligo on Ireland's west coast. Having walked part of the Camino de Santiago in 2024 to reach a festival in Bilbao, Mr White said the decision to take the long route had been as simple as "I have a ticket for Glastonbury, so why not cycle?" "It's been absolutely incredible to be honest, everything has been really positive," he said, adding that most of his journey had been focused on taking in nature having spent three years living in cities. In addition to covering up to 100km each day, Mr White has filmed and uploaded daily videos documenting his journey online, amassing tens of thousands of views. "As much as I love football, travel and adventure is really the thing I'm most passionate about, so it's been really nice to take the skills I developed in my day job over the past two years and put all that energy into this new style of video," he said. "Sometimes I'm in my tent in the middle of a forest while camping and I'm trying to put the videos together and add the subtitles, stuff like that, so it is challenging," he added. "Hopefully it'll be worth it in the end and, if anything, I just have the memories of this trip for the rest of my life." As for the festival itself, Mr White said he was most looking forward to catching Neil Young, Loyle Carner, Kneecap and Caribou, as well as acts from his childhood such as Scissor Sisters and Kaiser Chiefs. "In terms of the headliners, Neil Young will be the one I'm looking forward to most... when I'm cycling through lovely fields and desert-like landscapes he's been a really good soundtrack." After more than three weeks of cycling through Spain and France, Mr White crossed from Roscoff to Plymouth by ferry on Sunday and is planning to touch down in Glastonbury by Tuesday. "It's just one pedal after the other and hope for the best – that's served me well so far," he said.

10 of Spain's best cities for food

Travelling to Spain? Our advice: arrive hungry. Home to 17 autonomous regions — and their diverse cookbooks — this isn't just a place where people eat well, but a country where food is at the very heart of daily life, informing community, tradition and identity. From the rich seafood bounty of the wild Atlantic coast to the sun-soaked olive groves of the peninsula's southernmost tip, Spain's natural larder is renowned worldwide. In celebrating it, the Spanish have made dining a ritual: an unhurried communion over clinking glasses and small plates loaded with saffron-packed paella, silken Iberico ham, glossy peppers and slabs of moreish manchego. Serving up everything from famed temples of gastronomy to hip hole-in-the-wall joints, Spain's cities also have vibrant markets, such as Barcelona's legendary La Boqueria, where stalls are piled high with super-fresh regional produce in every colour of the rainbow. Lesser-known cities like Logroño, on the Camino de Santiago trail, reveal corner spots abuzz with the chatter of locals, the air thick with the aroma of chorizo simmering in cider. Whether you're looking for a rustic restaurant in the Basque country or an avant-garde tasting menu in Madrid, you'll find something to fit the bill in our pick of Spain's best cities for food. This article contains affiliate links, which may earn us revenue Best for Basque country big hits Wake up your senses at the Ribera market by the river (pictured). Any food lovers who mooch around the stalls gawping at the seafood and vegetables will get an idea of why Basque country cuisine is one of the best in the world. From elaborate pintxos in the lanes of the old town to gastrobars in Bilbao La Vieja, not to mention several Michelin-starred restaurants, the quality is outstanding. Order bacalao a la vizcaina — salt cod in a rich red pepper sauce — with a velvety Rioja Alavesa. The old quarter's Bilder Boutique Hotel offers 39 elegantly pared-back rooms in what was a shoe shop for almost a century. Dine at restaurant La Palma, where Cantabrian crab salad and Idiazabal cheesecake are among the favourites on the menu. • Best things to do in Bilbao Best for Iberico ham tastings The recipe for happiness? A glistening glass of fino sherry, a few olives and a platter of expertly carved Iberico ham at the counter of a traditional bar in Seville. What more could you want? Actually, quite a lot — there are so many tapas dishes to try in the city's bars that you may well never sit down to a meal during your stay. Start in pretty Santa Cruz, then wander over to the Arenal neighbourhood before crossing the Guadalquivir River to the tiled bars of Triana — and you are still only scratching the surface. Recharge at Las Casas de la Juderia. Palatial but unstuffy, the hotel's 134 individually designed rooms are arranged across a labyrinthine complex of historic buildings, and there's a fantastic pool and spa. • Best hotels in Seville Best for old-school tapas bars One of the stops on the Camino de Santiago, Logroño has built a reputation for itself as a centre for tapas. It's no surprise — around its historic centre there are some 50 hole-in-the-wall joints to try, many of them specialising in just one or two dishes. For variety, you'll have to hop from one place to another. An added attraction is that Logroño is the capital of the Rioja region, which means that bright, fruity reds and robust whites are cheap, abundant and very, very good. Calle del Laurel is at the centre of all this action and will be packed with visitors most evenings. Arrive after nine and make a night of it. Stay at the Eurostars Fuerte Ruavieja. The hotel's classical façade conceals 54 modern rooms, and there's a sauna, gym and Turkish bath to enjoy between mealtime forays. Best for cheese Surrounded by rich, agricultural land, Oviedo is a medieval city at the heart of the often under-appreciated Asturias region. There are two celebrated products here. The first is cheese. More than 40 varieties are produced in the region but the most popular is Cabrales, a creamy blue cheese typically made from a combination of cow, sheep and goat's milk, and aged in the caves of the Picos de Europa. The drink of choice to go with it has to be sidra (cider). Unlike most ciders in the UK, this one is tart and flat, with the drink poured from great heights to aerate it before drinking. It's a flourish best admired in Oviedo's sidrerias, where you don't have to worry about splashing it all over yourself. A National Monument, the five-star Eurostars Hotel de la Reconquista is steeped in history, and its grand interiors house an impressive set of Asturian artwork. The elegant vibe extends to the La Regenta restaurant, which promises traditional cuisine with avant-garde touches. Best for reimagined Spanish classics Madrid is the most dynamic city in Spain for eating and drinking, with a staggering number of restaurants. Roast suckling pig and the chickpea-based cocido madrileñostew are two regional favourites. Bocadillos de calamares (deep-fried squid rings in a roll) are a must too — always scoffed standing up at a busy bar with a beer. Get into the groove with a vermouth at noon in a tiled tavern behind the Plaza Mayor (pictured), then keep moving, with tapas in each place. A former travellers' inn turned slick urban retreat, Posada del Leon de Oro is surrounded by tapas spots. Or there's its in-house restaurant for traditional dishes cooked with flair. • Best hotels in Madrid Best for culinary diversity and cocktails From old-fashioned taverns in the Gothic Quarter to sleek gourmet palaces in the Eixample, hip cafés in the Raval and the foodie strip along the Parallel, eating in Barcelona is always a cultural as well as a gastronomic experience. For paella and rice dishes, target the Barceloneta neighbourhood by the sea. Spend a morning in La Boqueria (pictured), the city's spectacular market, but don't just look; use all your senses and taste your way around — order a glass of cava at one of the bars and some artichokes with clams, escalivada (roast vegetables), and whatever is on the specials board. And don't miss the city's vibrant craft cocktail bars, many of which top lists of the world's best. Splash out on a stay at the Gothic Quarter's Ohla Barcelona. Yes, the glass-sided swimming pool is spectacular, but it's the rooftop craft cocktails and Michelin-starred restaurant you're really here for. • Best hotels in Barcelona• Best restaurants in Barcelona Best for pintxos and txakoli With a number of Michelin-starred restaurants, elegant San Sebastian ranks among the top gastronomic destinations in the world. But if you're not ready to splash the cash, the city has another offering: its pintxos bars. Found on counters in the Parte Vieja (old town), these tapas-like finger foods are usually morsels of something delicious skewered onto a piece of bread using a toothpick. Each place has its speciality, maybe tempura prawns, slow-cooked beef in red wine or sweetbread ravioli. Cross the river for more gastrobars in Gros and try a glass of txakoli, the local white wine. The old town's Hotel Atari makes a good base for gastronomic adventures. Its 28 rooms sport brick walls and contemporary floral wallpaper, while its bar and Amama restaurant are destinations in their own right. • Best hotels in San Sebastian Best for paella in its birthplace Valencia is the home of paella, so start down by the beach: install yourself at a terrace table and order a traditional paella Valenciana with chicken or rabbit, or a paella de marisco with seafood. Next, head to the exuberant central market, where stained-glass windows and mosaics adorn the ironwork structure, and stalls are piled high with produce from the market gardens around the city. Get a refreshing horchata (tiger nut milk) to drink as you walk around. Then, in the old fishing district of Cabanyal, seek out tiled bodegas that serve up sizzling prawns, bowls of mussels and the local michirones broad beans. Relax at the centrally located Hospes Palau de la Mar, which occupies an elegant 19th-century residence. All 66 rooms and suites are sumptuous, as is the spa, and restaurant Ampar wows with its creative local cuisine. • Best hotels in Valencia• How to spend the perfect day in Valencia Best for sobrassada stops The capital of Mallorca has quietly turned into a bit of a gastronomic hotspot. The island's top chefs have gravitated to the city to open gastrobars as well as elegant restaurants along the medieval lanes in the Sa Llotja and Sa Gerreria neighbourhoods. The fishermen's homes in Santa Catalina, behind the port, now house laid-back cafés with shady terraces. Try sobrassada, a soft pork and pimenton sausage, spread on bread with a glass of Mallorcan wine, and look out for tumbet — layers of potato, aubergine and peppers with a tomato sauce. For a cosseting old town stay, try Es Princep. Set on the site of a medieval tannery, the 68-room hideaway boasts a buzzy rooftop space and the Michelin-starred Zaranda restaurant. • Best luxury villas in Mallorca Best for farm-to-fork fusion This compact provincial capital showcases a dynamic mix of Moorish, Roman and rural Aragonese flavours. Lying in a valley in the foothills of the Pyrenees, 90 minutes' northeast of Madrid by train, the city's buoyant farm-to-fork scene is best epitomised by its speciality dish, ternasco (tender roast lamb). Get the lay of the land by browsing the fresh produce stalls at the 1895-designed Mercado Central (pictured), then head to the El Tubo tapas district to continue investigations. Bestsellers migas aragonesas (fried breadcrumbs with chorizo), bacalao ajoarriero (salt cod with peppers and garlic), and local ham jamón de Teruel taste even better when paired with a bold red made from the region's Somontano or Garnacha grapes. The centrally located NH Collection Gran Hotel de Zaragoza was built in the 1920s, but is today characterised by a cool, contemporary design; restaurant La Ontina offers refined Aragonese dishes. • Discover our full guide to Spain •
