Karens have been around long before the name was ever invented, but in the past few years, they've been a lot more annoying than they used to be. Maybe it's because we're finally calling them out for their bad behavior. In 2022, we would like to expect more from others than spitting on retail employees and bashing restaurants online for letting their workers have dyed hair.

Karens don't care, however. They're even convinced the term "Karen" is a racial slur towards white women (it's not). Karens aren't just women named Karen, they're any entitled person who believes they can treat others horribly and expect no repercussions, except for a manager maybe giving them their entire order for free or other Karens praising them for "standing up for themselves," even though they're just harassing people instead. Here are some of our favorite new Karens exposed (and sometimes proudly exposing themselves) on social media.
