Ohio 'Karen' Argues Over Wearing A Mask At Planet FitnessPeric feels masks are taking away — you guessed it — her 'freedom of liberty.' This woman is my sleep paralysis demon. AnnaEperic Karma is a bitch and she’s even bigger when it comes to Corona Virus. Eventually she’ll get sick. I hate people who won’t wear their masks. Yes it’s uncomfortable and hot. I wear one for 12 hours a day at work. I sympathize with the people that have to deal with her.
