Let this story serve as proof that having a kind, older lady in your corner is the best way to get an entitled one off your back. Here, we have a nice young man in the parking lot of a grocery store who noticed a kind lady having trouble getting all of her groceries from her cart and into her car. She was trying to get the attention of an employee, to no avail, so the young man stepped in to help. She ended up insisting he take a $100 bill as payment, which he tried to refuse, but she insisted.…

Why is it so hard for customers to understand that sometimes there is simply no way for them to get their way? No, it is not because the 18-year-old employee wants to make your life difficult, and no, it is not out of spite, it is simply because places of work have rules and policies, and there is nothing they can do about it. If a grocery store employee tells a customer that they do not have delivery service, there is no magic spell that will conjure a delivery person to do that job, no matter…

Then she tried again a few minutes later.

There is nothing like a Karen ruining a gas station pit stop experience! Picture this: you're on a long road trip and it's time to make a brief trip to the gas station so you can fill up your car and grab some snacks. These trips should, in theory, be quick and painless, but leave it to the Karens of the world to make the experience completely and utterly insufferable. For starters, this Karen assumed that another customer was the gas station attendant. Now, he clearly did not work there, espec…

Some passengers think they can pull a fast one on flight attendants, but oh, how wrong can they be? This male Karen in economy insisted on having the higher quality vegetarian meal after hearing that the economy option was sold out. Now, the flight attendant remembered that he was eating bacon chips just 30 minutes prior, which clearly, the male Karen had not considered before trying to get away with his silly plan. However, instead of flat-out denying him service, the flight attendant maliciou…

"Draw pictures and illustrations and have her count out the number of apples and bananas."

When you go out to eat at a restaurant, do you wait at the entrance for someone to seat you, or do you go inside on your own and just sit at an available table? If the first option is your answer, congratulations, you are a decent human being. However, If you behave like the second option, we recommend you reconsider your choices in life, as that is simply not okay. The server in this Reddit story had to deal with some entitled guests who refused to wait to be seated. Despite clearly noticing t…

The reality is that everyone has a short fuse once in a while and is therefore bound to have an unnecessary and potentially unprompted outburst. We suppose that it's human nature to snap… within reason, of course. For instance, who hasn't had a friend get snippy with you when clearly you intentionally or unintentionally struck a nerve? Usually, when this happens, you can take a step back and both parties can assess what led to this momentary meltdown. However, sometimes these moments do not hap…

This poor delivery driver had to deal with not one, not two, but three back-to-back entitled Karen customers who seemed determined to make his shift a living nightmare. We already have plenty of sympathy for having to deal with the average customer on a busy night of food deliveries, but this dude really dealt with the worst of the worst. Karen #1 kept complaining about her order being delayed. Karen #2 accused the delivery driver of stealing her cheesecake from IHOP, as if that were a desirabl…

It's particularly perplexing how some people manage to survive in this world when they're living in such a peculiar version of it. Of course, you seem to encounter people like this all the time when you're working in retail or the service industry. I suppose it's a “monkeys with typewriters” type of situation; by sheer chance, if you meet enough people in a day, you're bound to bump into a few with unique understandings and perspectives of the world. Still, you'll continually be surprised by so…

What era does this Karen think we're living in? Clearly, she is in no position to enforce what people should or should not wear in 2024. However, being the Karen she is, she felt entitled to speak up and speak out. For context, this innocent woman stopped by the grocery store to prepare for a BBQ with her husband when another Karen customer accosted her and immediately gave her a hard time about her dress code. The other lady tried to explain that she was not an employee there, to no avail. In…

"Karen, still mad, admits she is in the wrong restaurant."

We all want to have the best experience while being out and about, eating at restaurants, and enjoying life. That is why we can all probably recall times when those experiences don't go as planned, and we end up annoyed in certain situations. When going out to eat, for example, you expect the dining experience to provide you with a pleasant service, in which you are greeted a certain way, you get your food in an acceptable amount of time, and overall leave the place feeling content. When one of…

The only thing more satisfying than reading a funny restaurant review online is reading a savage response from the owner. Here, we have several entitled Karen customers, who clearly left out plenty of important details regarding their dining experiences. It's the power of narrative, folks, as well as the power of main character syndrome. These Karen customers seemed to all genuinely believe that they were the innocent victims of their stories. That self-belief extended to the ways in which they…

This week's crop of Karen stories ranges from the classic expected behavior of the entitled people of the world to unexpected levels of entitlement. First, we have a parking saga involving a crazy-eyed Karen who couldn't be patient to wait to get out of the same parking lot as everyone else who was stuck there waiting. Then, we have a one-star review from a Karen customer who was caught exaggerating about her so-called horrendous experience. Finally, we've got a scheming male Karen in the famil…

Requesting time off from work is kind of a weird ritual. While you're technically “asking” for time off, that time is, is usually less of a “want” and more of a “need”—even though your employer will treat it like the former. It's not as if you can ask your cousin to reschedule their wedding just for you or your entire family to reschedule their family reunion. Still, lots of businesses have periods of high trade where they're exceedingly strict about granting any time off—or there during holida…
