Unless you're moving further away from a crying baby, never switch sets on a plane.

Dealing with Karens while waiting tables has to be one of the worst parts of the job. That's what this server had to endure when a group of Karens came into their restaurant at closing and demanded eggs Benedict without the hollandaise sauce.

Oh boy did that manager learn their lesson.

“You don't always get what you want,” the singer Mick Jagger once famously sang; it's a statement that reminds us that there really is more to life than coveted goods and materialistic desires — and is especially pertinent if what you want is a pizza from a place that doesn't even make pizza.

Remember that kid on the playground that would come up and take your toy just because they were envious that you had one and they didn't? Yeah, some people never mature past that point. These are the same people who try and confront you while you're loading your recently-acquired loot into your car at Walmart and demand that you give it to them because they need it more than you . Like the kid on the playground, they might not have even wanted it if they didn't see it in your hands, but — becau…

There are a whole lot of entitled people in the world who are out to make the world work for them as much as possible. These people care little for societal norms, mutual respect, or mutual understanding; they want to take what they can get, and the rest of us be damned. Karens though… They take the whole entitlement idea and turn it up until the knob breaks off, mixing that same tried and true formula with a dash of salt, wild expectations, and untapped aggression. Enjoy this hearty collection…

Over the years many different versions of the notorious “Karen” has come to light. The monstrous entitled person has evolved to be many fearful beings—like someone yelling at you to get out of “their” parking space, even though it is a public spot. Or someone yelling at you because you work in the service industry and obviously every problem is your fault. Or maybe you're unfortunate enough to come across a Karen while working retail and they're trying to return something that isn't even from t…

To be fair… he did write “Your Name"… It's no secret that Karens are often oblivious to their own insanity; a life of misery and festering anger has left them with an innate desire to take out their (perceived) misfortunes on others. These people carry about their lives like an anthropomorphic wrecking ball, destroying all joy that dares to exist around them. When u/PUNKeM0N was confronted by a raging Karen customer, they approached the situation with a cool and level head. The angry customer i…

There are persons in this world who want far more than they would ever have to give — and they still want more than that. These entitled “choosing beggars” want everything for nothing and won't settle for anything less. They can be encountered in the marketplace of the face-books and lurking in the corners of Craig's list. It's highly likely, if you're an artist or freelance worker, they'll barge their way into your DMs and demand a free commissioned piece.

If you see a crazy Karen flailing about in the woods, you know whose aunt this is.

No, this is not your neighbor, Totoro — this is your neighbor, Karen, and she thinks she has a greater right than you to use YOUR driveway.

Accidentally approaching a stranger in a store, assuming that they work there — we've all done it — but it's how you handle those next embarrassing seconds that define your true character. Sure, most of us are most likely to blush and mumble some apology under our breath as we carefully back away and retreat to die in a hole somewhere; the bolder among us are going to be more like to laugh at ourselves for our mistakenness. But, there's a third group of people out there: Those who are so stubbo…

Wherever there is something that someone could possibly do in this world, there is someone out there taking it way too far. This is a phrase that I have uttered in the intro of these threads more times than I could possibly begin to count — but it remains as accurate and as relevant as ever. Some people just take something and run with it, we humans consistently fall prey to this due to the logical fallacy of feeling ‘moreish’: if one of something was good, then one more will be even better. Bu…

Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? That complete lack of filter can simultaneously be the most hilarious, embarrassing, and cutting thing on this planet. There's nothing worse than being on the receiving end of an incredibly perspective comment from a child. There's something about the truth that a child perceives that leaves you utterly defenseless and without any recourse or response. After all, it's not as if you can respond with an insult back… Then you'd just be the adult that was…

There's no shortage of ‘Karens’ out there in the world today. It seems like everywhere you turn, anywhere you go, or every time you boot up a social app, there's some older woman with cropped hair giving some poor random person or employee the “What-for.” Why? Has it always been like this? Have they always been there and smartphones have finally just exposed them? Or, are there really just an increasing number of entitled a-holes out there?

There's nothing that guarantees failure like setting unrealistic expectations. Anytime you expect too much of anything you're dooming yourself to be unhappy with whatever the outcome is.
