Woman got ‘instant karma’ after launching abusive rant at family on boat trip

The woman made her thoughts on the matter very clear

They say if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all - and that's probably a piece of advice this angry Australian woman should have considered.

Benny Larkin and daughter Taylor Larkin, 14, were boating down Dora Creek, New South Wales, Australia, when they broke down and were approached by a 'Mrs Know It All' kayaker.

The 33-year-old says the boat engine stopped working, while they slowed down to meet the four-knot speed limit, but he quickly realised the enraged lady thought he had broken the rules.

Footage shows Benny calling the kayaker a Karen so she addresses the camera to claim 'this c**k-sucker was doing 24 knots up the creek'.

When Benny asks the foul-mouthed woman if she talks to her mother like this and she replies 'my mother knows how to f**king drive a boat better than you'.

She kayaks closer to his vessel and tries to splash him with her oar but instead hilariously capsizes her kayak and falls into the water.

Benny laughs and tells her he's going to post it to social media, but the lady continues her tirade while lying across her kayak and turns her rage on Taylor.

She asks the 14-year-old if she knows the rules but when Taylor replies yes, she immediately responds 'no you don't'.

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

Benny, who posted the video to TikTok later that day, says the lady falling from her kayak was 'instant karma trying to spoil his day'.

He says the water from the splash broke his onboard CD player and speaker system and he'll have to pay more than $1,000 AUD to replace it.

Benny, from Grafton, New South Wales, Australia, said: "We were just trying to have some fun on the water and then some local tried to spoil our day.

"She came out of nowhere and just started abusing us.

"At first I thought she wanted help then I realised she was going off her head so I started filming."

He went on: "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."

Ben says he hasn't seen the raging kayaker since but he's pleased the video has been viewed more than 10,000 times on TikTok.
