karen

Man oh man, our hearts really go out to the poor people that are working tech support and having to deal with the wildly, hopelessly entitled human beings in this world. In this case, it sounds like Karen was very, very lost. Basically, she got all enraged over her computer literally having a desktop function. Like, what do you even do with that? If you're looking for another juicy tale from the world of tech support check out the time that a client dragged out a ticket for days, and never realized that their device just wasn't plugged in. 

You've got to hand it to the world's lot of individuals that are working in the realm of tech support. They regularly deal with all kinds of impossibly clueless and sometimes even belligerent individuals. Seriously. It's out of control. This particularly lovely customer demanded that a company grant her access to a product that they didn't even sell in the first place. Yeah, kind of hard to troubleshoot that "issue."

The thing about Karens is that sometimes their self-centeredness bleeds into their ability to care for animals, like these fish that you really hope find a better home. Fine, have your standards about not wanting to give something to a "greedy" person, but dang lady, they're living things. This is why we can't have nice things. It's kind of like the time this pet store employee had to stop a Karen from torturing a starfish, or this influencer who left a fake review for stables and got decimated. Even if she doesn't learn her lesson, at least she won't be in the care of fish anymore.

Everyone leads their own life, with their own desires, needs, and ideas as to how to get those things. Most of us try to build relationships, work hard in order to make valuable exchanges, or at least ask politely. But not entitled people and Karens of the world. They'll just try to bully people, dress them down, lie and make unreasonable demands. Or they'll try to leave a bad review, like this entitled customer who threatened a tattoo parlor with a nasty review but got beaten to it. And then there are moments of total cluelessness, like these obnoxious things American tourists did.

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but when they said that they didn't mean "absence of sympathy for fellow humans." When this guy found out he was engaged to the kind of person who was miserable to servers, he did what he had to do. For more intense Karen moments, here's a craigslist ad for a date with a Karen as well as an Influencer Karen who left a fake review for Stables and got decimated by the owner's response.

Is there a lesson here? Maybe something like "don't be miserable to the person controlling the ride." Maybe it's "don't go on rides if you know you hate them." Or maybe there are stories with no actual lessons, and things just happen sometimes. Either way, Karen could have played her cards better. For another episode in the adventures of Karen, here's asecret shopper Karen who was too much of a Karen so she got fired.

It really sounds like the jellyfish museum was trying to help this woman out, but for whatever reason she decided to adopt quite the stubborn rule-breaking attitude. Naturally, this attitude results in her acquiring the very painful jellyfish sting that she was warned about. And then she proceeds to want to sue the museum. This call for a suing gave way to her being labelled a Karen. So, the question here is whether or not the person who called the Aunt a "Karen" was in the wrong. Folks in the comments section seem to be in agreement that this wasn't so out of line. Of course, nobody likes being labelled a Karen. The thing about it is, when you live down to the stereotype, being labelled a Karen shouldn't be such a wildly unexpected turn of events.

For some more Karen drama check out the time that a bro customer covered an employee from a monster Karen. 

What would life be without a neighbor threatening to trap your cat because it sits on her car at night? Why should we all be free to go about our days without hearing from the entitled people and total Karens who are ready to call the cops because they didn't get a free cookie with their purchase? Variety is the spice of life, but entitled people are the metal shavings one finds in their BLT.

It might've been a genius move to have this ad shared to a place like Reddit. While the mother-in-law in question sounds like a bit of a self-centered handful, she also sounds like someone who one might be able to push themselves to put up with for a nice bank account boost. Naturally, the comments section for this Craigslist wanted ad was quite lively. For some more Karen mother-in-law drama check out the time that a Karen mother-in-law used too much salt in her food, and then the petty revenge that ensued. 

This viral video from TikToker @kentspeakman depicts a Karen out in the wild who clearly hit her breaking point. Unfortunately, this particular Karen hitting her breaking point resulted in her unleashing blind rage on a family of bananas. In part two you can see her go back to finish the job. 

It's always a weird moment as a customer, watching a real monster of a Karen rip into an employee for no good reason. As it turns out there's actually something you can do to make it so people don't get fired because of one miserable outspoken customer. For more sightings of the wild Karen, here's a secret shopper Karen who got fired for being too much of a Karen and a customer who weaponized the tip jar to defeat a Karen.

Nothing quite warms the heart like a story where you see an aggressive and entitled individual literally, mindlessly proceed to make their life way harder than it needs to be. This Karen decided to ignore the advice from customer service regarding her DirecTVs. Basically, she wasn't making her minimum payments, her TVs stopped working, she still had a couple that somehow worked, and then those kicked the bucket too after a whole system refresh. A whole system refresh mind you that she requested herself. 

Unbelievable. For another tale of malicious compliance check out the time that a customer demanded a refund for their own mistake, and then how the call center maliciously complied. 

There's no winning with some customers. If there's anything that working retail teaches people, it's to never expect decency or understanding out of another single person. Is that too harsh? Nah. When there's people like this scheming rotten salad lady walking around, there's no question why customer service can take on an adversarial tone.
