15 Karens Being The Worst People Around

Having to encounter a Karen is like a real-life boss fight. It's annoying and terrifying, and no one really wants to have to deal with it. Unfortunately, though, Karens are out there, and likely always will be. Of course, Karens are the kinds of middle-aged women who are just never happy. They don't like to listen to rules, they feel entitled to everything, and they're generally just unpleasant people. They'll always want to talk to a manager because they don't trust just anyone, and then even they will degrade the manager.

They are honestly worse than any boss battle because there's no winning with them, there's rarely even a middle ground, it's usually their way or no way. Karen's make the world a harder place to live in. As a way to deal with the pain they cause though, users on Reddit share their worst Karen stories and best Karen memes as an act of solidarity to show that no one is alone in dealing with their terror. Here are 15 Karen stories and memes that really capture what it's like to deal with these people.

A hopefully true story

Classic

What was your best "You're speaking to the manager right now" moment? Discussion 5.9k- 2.5k Share Friend of mine: She was getting chewed out over something or other, finally the woman loudly demanded to see the manager. So she shrugged and got the manager. Manager comes out all confused. Angry woman demands my friend get fired. Manager is very confused "But Ma'am, I can't do that... she is the owner"

Uhh… what?

Jermaine Fowler @thehumanityarchive When people go to plantations and don't want to hear about slavery... 4 weeks ago My husband and I were extremely disappointed in this tour. We didn't come to hear a lecture on how the white people treated slaves, we came to get this history of a southern plantation and get a tour of the house and grounds. The tour guide was so radical about slave treatment we felt we were being lectured and bashed about the slavery. My ancestors were from Sicily, never owned slaves, and my husbands were German, and none of his ever owned slaves. I am by far not a racist or against all Americans having equal rights but this was my vacation and now we are crossing all plantation tours off our list, it was just not what we expected. I'll go back to Louisiana and see some real plantations that are so much more enjoyable to tour.

Geez

Beth Talk 6 mins. Temecula Have you ever been to a restaurant that does not give you the change when you pay with cash? My bill we $47.20, I gave the waitress $100. and she only gave me back $53.00. I called over the manager(which was our waitress). She said we don't usually carry change. I told her to give my $100.00 back and I'll pay with a credit card. Eighty cents would not kill me but it's the principle, If they do this to everyone that pays cash, over a year that could be a lot of money in their pocket. You and 39 others Haha 22 Comments Comment I'd redo your math.

Mind your business

This can't be real

Aug 2.0 What do you do when you go to a restaurant and your waiter is an Atheist? Normally I'll pay without leaving a tip and write a bad review on Google. This past weekend I decided to be more proactive. I ordered the chicken livers and when the Atheist brought it to the table I insisted that I had ordered steak. I made that loser take it back to the kitchen and make me a steak. Then I complained to the manager about the Atheist and skipped out on the bill. Establishments need to be taught it's not ok to hire Atheists

The customer is not always right

✰✰✰ il y a 7 mois 1. ordered 60 or so sushi rolls because I thought they were in sale but it turned out to be something else that as on sale, but anyways I was also with my kids so we were all eating sushi, and then they gave me the bill and I saw it was over a hundred dollars which I didn't have, and since me and my kids hadn't eaten 30 or so of the sushi rolls I told the waitress I'd give back the sushi for a refund of all of the sushi we didn't eat. SHE REFUSED! IT SHOULD BE EVERY RESTAURANTS POLICY THAT THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! ALWAYS! So then I had to leave MY KIDS at the restaurant and had to drive to the nearest ATM and get enough money for the bill! This is NOT okay, I will not be returning anytime soon.

A male Karen

So I go into the post office today and I get in line behind this older chap, maybe 50-60 (BOOMER I SAID IT). It's just him and me in the post office with one cashier person. Whatever he needs to ship, is going to cost him $2.50 more than he expected and apparently that is his breaking point. He is YELLING and cussing this poor woman out about how the 'scam' the USPS is running and refusing to pay. Now I, being extremely well off at the moment, happen to have a spare $5 bill. I reach around him, slap it on the counter and just as chipper as could be told him I'd be glad to pay for it and was about to say 'Merry Christmas' when this gentleman lost his ever loving "YOU THINK I CAN'T AFFORD $2.50!?!? LOOK AT ME, I CAN AFFORD $2.50!!" So he flings my money onto the floor, pays with A FIFTY, and leaves, shooting me death glares the entire time. Dude.

Pokémon is the new devil

1d · We got happy meals from McDonald's today for lunch. Pokémon cards were the prize. I knew Pokémon was demonic (even when my son was little) but never saw the cards up close and personal. WOW! Energy is "attached" and is even capitalized like it's deified. After we threw them away, we had a great conversation about not allowing anything that's not of God into our homes and lives (even if our friends are doing it). Call me legalistic, old school, fanatical (I squarely own that one) but I won't allow magic, sorcery, new age, eastern religion, or anything with "Energy attached" in my home! okémon HT. 8° WT: 0.7 lbs Cate any Energy attached, it has no Tiny Charge resistance retreat One alone can emit on a trickl of them gathers to unleash weakness ×2 92022 Pokémon/Nintendo/Creatures/G/ 141 NO. 235 Painter Pokémon HT: 3'11" WT: 127.9 lbs.
