There are some people in this world who will do anything but admit when they are wrong. Here, we have a Karen ringleader, who waltzed into a restaurant with an army of Karen friends (or, as the Redditor likes to refer to them, her “sheep”). This Karen made it crystal clear from the get-go that she was looking to start drama. When her food arrived, she decided she needed to have a word with the innocent 20-year-old server who recounted this series of unfortunate events. The customer was upset th…

What did the card machine ever do to you?

Now that we're somehow rapidly approaching the Thanksgiving holiday, it's time to brace ourselves for Thanksgiving Karens. Each year, entitled customers, family members, and total strangers emerge to throw temper tantrums about everything from turkey availability to family traditions. This hotel concierge had the unfortunate experience of being on the receiving end of the wrath of one of the hotel's Karen guests. She somehow assumed that she would be entitled to a free Thanksgiving meal despite…

Most people want to be left alone when they're running their weekly errands. If you're tall and shopping at a grocery store, then you have probably been asked to help grab something from the top shelf on more than one occasion. In most of those scenarios, a decent human being would indulge the short shopper; that is, so long as they have been decent to you. Here, we have an entitled Karen shopper who had the audacity to grab a tall stranger by his arm and drag him to where she wanted him to hel…

Working retail is a hectic and endless stream of customer interactions that balance on a knife's edge, with any one of them threatening to teeter off into a full-blown customer meltdown with possibly little to no cause. It's a way of living that leaves you emotionally drained and completely exasperated, while weekends end up giving you just enough time to self-isolate and prepare for your next shift. Meanwhile, despite claiming to have the customer's best interest at heart, upper management mak…

One thing remains true: the Karens of this world will always be lurking around, ready to pounce as soon as they feel entitled to do so. On one level, how could you not envy the complete lack of a filter and the audacity to start drama without any fear of consequences? But of course, on another level, who wants to carry that much negativity around with them at all times? This week, we have compiled a brand new collection of amusing Karens pulling the same old tricks. We've got the classic Karen…

Well, at least they didn't make a big deal out of nothing

Even though he was offered a full refund

As the old saying goes, if you don't pay, you can't play. This Karen was a member of a community group that hosted various activities in the local neighborhood, one of which was run by the Redditor. This activity in particular was only £5 per customer, and yet, this Karen refused to pay the amount. Perhaps it was on principle, but instead, she pretended it was because she was waiting for her next paycheck. Now, of course, we are sympathetic to folks in situations like this, but the facts did no…

Many a misguided middle manager has had the idea of hosting meetings at a time that is convenient for everyone: say during lunch hour when everyone is on break, so won't have any meetings scheduled… except that break is unpaid and, well, when are people supposed to eat their actual lunch when there's suddenly a meeting jammed in there. No matter how fun they try to make it sound, “zazzing” it up and naming it something they think is cool, like “Power Hour Lunch Sync,” the reality remains the sa…

Incessant honking never helps. That's one rule everyone should learn when they start driving. Traffic is infuriating, but unless someone else is actively endangering other drivers or being reckless, there is no need to add fuel to the frustration. Your busy schedule is no more important than those of the other drivers on the road. In this scenario, however, we weren't even dealing with an insane traffic jam. It was a quiet evening in a suburban neighborhood, and because it was dark and there ha…

Living in a co-op certainly has its advantages, but it also means that you may or may not be at the mercy of a building Karen. Here , we have a new tenant who just moved into her co-op in noisy midtown Manhattan two weeks prior. She threw a small housewarming get-together with ten people on a Friday night. These are all folks in their late twenties or early thirties who knew that this was a quiet, low-key event rather than some kind of rager. Unfortunately for the Redditor who hosted the event,…

What is the etiquette these days when it comes to public transport? Not to sound like an "old man shouting at clouds," but it really does seem like etiquette—along with mutual unspoken respect and other social decorum—has gone completely out the window. Still, along with that, and theoretically causal of the previous issue is that people just seem generally more entitled and individualistic, it's all about “me me me” and “what can be done that benefits me” rather than partaking in the upholding…

"Too lazy to take a trip to the bank to throw them into a machine but willing to carry around an entire backpack full of pennies..."

This customer had some pretty entitled demands of her server. Many such cases! It seems like waiters and waitresses are always dealing with customers who insist on getting the best service, expecting their servers to go above and beyond, all while these customer treats them really impolitely. Up next, this recruiter had a big laugh after finding out that one of their candidates decided to “ list their typing speed at 270 WPM ," making them the literal fastest typist in the world if true (spoile…
