Potty-mouthed Karen on a kayak tries splashing dad, daughter with oar amid dispute — and loses hilariously



In a video you didn't know you needed today, we are treated to a potty-mouthed, kayaking Karen who tries splashing a father and daughter with her oar amid a dispute on an Australian waterway — and instead, the boss lady ends up going for an unexpected swim.

What are the details?

Benny Larkin and his 14-year-old daughter, Taylor, were boating down Dora Creek in New South Wales, Australia, when they stalled out and were approached by a woman in a kayak, the Daily Mail reported.

The elder Larkin, 33, told the outlet that their engine stopped working while they slowed down to meet the four-knot speed limit — but the woman in the kayak decided he broke the speed rules.

As the angry Aussie moved closer to the father and daughter, cursing them out, she tried to splash them with her oar.

It didn't end well for her.

Amid her liquid offensive, the woman lost her balance — and into the drink she went.

Now clinging to her kayak, the woman continued her verbal battle with dad and daughter — who soon got their engine running and motored away.

Here's the clip. Content warning: language:

The dad has since said he was annoyed by the January confrontation but wanted to remain calm and be a "smart ass" to her instead of losing his temper, the Daily Mail said.

Beyond the confrontation, the elder Larkin told the outlet the woman's splash damaged his onboard CD player and speaker system, which will cost him over $1,000 to fix.

"We were just trying to have some fun on the water, and then some local tried to spoil our day," he told the Daily Mail. "She came out of nowhere and just started abusing us. At first I thought she wanted help, then I realized she was going off her head, so I started filming. She thought I was speeding, but we slowed down before the four-knots zone. She wouldn't let me talk, but I was calm about it. I was being a smart ass back to her. ... She tried splashing me, and it wet all my boat gear, but she got instant karma. When you go for someone, and you fall off your kayak, then that's fair in my eyes. She must have had a bad day or something because she just felt the need to take authority and cause a scene."

'Thank you Jesus!' Fisherman narrowly escapes kayak-chomping shark, accidentally captures viral video

'Thank you Jesus!' Fisherman narrowly escapes kayak-chomping shark, accidentally captures viral video



A Hawaii man is counting his lucky stars after narrowly escaping a tiger shark that chomped onto the angler's kayak instead of his body, KITV reported.

"Dunno how I did that, but my foot actually pushes the shark off near its vulnerable eye. Thank you Jesus!" a message within the YouTube video says.

"I realize that life is short, time is short on Earth, so make the most of it," fisherman Scott Haraguchi told KITV.

The 42-second video quickly went viral on social media, and it's easy to understand why.

The video opens with a school bus-yellow kayak filled with gear gently making its way through the calm, crystal blue waters on the windward side of Oahu. A quiet breeze and the sound of a crinkling wrapper can be heard. All seems to be well.

The serene scene lasted all of about nine seconds before a tiger shark came barreling toward the front of kayak, ramming it on the side. At the ten-second mark, the beast latches onto the craft, leaving minor teeth marks in it. The shark clamped on for a couple of seconds, and Haraguchi can be heard screaming.

"Tiger shark rammed me!" the angler yelled, adding an expletive in the heat of the moment.

Though you might have to pause the video and squint to see it, at about the 11-second mark, Haraguchi's black, white-soled shoe connects with the shark's eye region. He gave it a shove, and the mammoth macropredator disengaged.

"Happened so fast. Didn't realize I took my left foot out of the water to brace myself from impact and actually pushed the shark's head off with it. If you asked me to do that again, even without the shark, I don't think I'd have that flexibility," text accompanying the video says.

Haraguchi reportedly went on fishing after the shark swam away and didn't fully appreciate the depth of the encounter until watching the video later at home. The wild video was caught on a GoPro he had accidentally left on after catching a fish, KITV reported.

"I heard a whooshing sound that sounded like a boat heading towards me without the motor, and I looked up and I saw this big brown thing. My brain thought it was a turtle, but then I got slammed by it and realized that it was a tiger shark," Haraguchi told the outlet.

The wise fisherman told KITV that he is counting his blessings and that he will be bringing a partner along the next time he hits the water.

Watch the viral video from Hawaii Nearshore Fishing's YouTube channel that shows fisherman Scott Haraguchi's too-close-for-comfort encounter with a tiger shark about a mile offshore from windward Oahu.
