30+ People share the biggest public tantrums they've witnessed from adults: 'She actually stamped her foot and said we had ruined her Christmas'

Working retail gives you a fantastic seat center stage to bear witness to some of the most incredible performances, teeth-gritting rage complete with bulging temples and flying saliva—unfortunately, this show requires audience participation, and the rage is almost always directed at you… Never mind the fact that you're just a lowly cashier, literally the lowest ranking member in the organization… you're going to be the one to suffer the full wrath of their immature and impotent frenzy. The biza…

Impatient Male Karen driver yells at pedestrian in a quiet suburb, karma rears its head: 'He drove smack into [a] ditch'

Impatient Male Karen driver yells at pedestrian in a quiet suburb, karma rears its head: 'He drove smack into [a] ditch'

Sometimes, karma takes a while to come back with a vengeance, but other times, she chooses to show up just when she needs to… Here, we have a male Karen driver in a quiet suburb who could not stand the fact that road work was being done and was creating a minor traffic jam. A resident of the neighborhood explained that while the road work was minimal, there was a ditch in the area that could easily be avoided if cars were moving slowly and carefully enough… hence, the minor traffic jam. When th…

'I'm running late': Impatient Karen traveler gets called out for shoving passengers on TSA line

Airport security lines are not built for the entitled and the impatient, yet somehow, these folks still choose to travel all the time. Of course, this means that the rest of us have to inevitably suffer as a result. Look, the reality is no one wants to be waiting in the security line (if you enjoy waiting in line, then there is something wrong with you), but when you're waiting in line with a Karen, the experience becomes so much more painful. Now, let this serve as a PSA to the Karens of the w…

Karen gets fined $700,000 for cutting down neighbor's 200-year-old sequoia tree: 'I assume they had to sell their house to pay it off'

Karen gets fined $700,000 for cutting down neighbor's 200-year-old sequoia tree: 'I assume they had to sell their house to pay it off'

This lady paid the price for her egregious mistake. That's an understatement considering she and her family had to sell their house and move back to their old neighborhood in order to pay the steep fine for trespassing and cutting down her neighbor's tree. It turns out that the tree that annoyed her so much was a rare 200-year-old sequoia. I guess you could say she was barking up the wrong tree. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by u/j3r3my_r_c00k , who explained how the…

'She's pretty insistent on Karen': Husband refuses to let wife name their daughter 'Karen,' cue marriage drama

'She's pretty insistent on Karen': Husband refuses to let wife name their daughter 'Karen,' cue marriage drama

It's unfortunate that a meme can become so ubiquitous that it can almost break up a marriage. However, that's the power of the internet and pop culture, and if you have been anywhere close to the internet over the last five years, you have seen many a think-piece and many a joke about the name Karen. You likely have seen a ton of posts about Karen on this site alone (you're welcome). Well, apparently, this dude's wife did not get the picture and still insisted that their soon-to-be-born daughte…

Office Karen picks a fight with coworker for making too many elaborate lunches: 'She doesn't have a right to demand that'

Office Karen picks a fight with coworker for making too many elaborate lunches: 'She doesn't have a right to demand that'

This Karen had the audacity to tell her coworker to stop making great lunches… Of course, the root of this was envy, which is the root of so many office conflicts we have covered here at FAIL Blog. In this instance, however, the Karen coworker was the spouse of another employee at the company, who is on the same team as the coworker who cooks well and often makes extra food for her teammates. It's not that the Karen wanted some of the extra food herself. It's that she felt threatened by her cow…

'Ok boss, let's see what ya got': Call center Karen argues with new manager for 5+ hours to get extra day of PTO

'Ok boss, let's see what ya got': Call center Karen argues with new manager for 5+ hours to get extra day of PTO

Trying to negotiate with a Karen employee can come at a price. In this instance, that price was time. This Karen, who was actually referred to as Kay in this Reddit thread, thought she could argue her way into getting an extra holiday off while her coworkers were expected to go to work. She was not able to merely request PTO because she had already used all of her days. Since her new manager, Dan, seemed a bit kinder than other supervisors, she thought she could get away with this. Dan, however…

Sports fanatic strikes back at bar's sound limitation after being forced to endure subpar viewing experience

Sports fans will stop at nothing to watch the game in a quiet and serene setting where they can fully immerse themselves in the action. Having said that, do you anticipate being interrupted when you visit a sports bar—a place where fans of various sports congregate to enjoy a lively game of sports—or do you assume the bar will make every effort to optimize the viewing experience? The story that follows is that of a sports enthusiast. The original poster (OP) watched the College World Series cha…

'The hotel is sold out': Karen lies about booking reservation, demands refund, front desk agent doesn't fall for her tomfoolery

If you're looking for a common area where Karens love to throw tantrums, look no further than the concierge desk at a hotel chain. The complaints tend to be of a similar variety. Perhaps the wifi isn't working or the mediocre complimentary breakfast is, in fact, mediocre. Perhaps the room is “too small” despite fitting the exact online description on the hotel website. Or perhaps the Karen made an error and is trying to blame everyone else for said error. That is one of the possibilities behind…

'I'm going to sue you all and get all of you people fired': Entitled Karen blames movie theater employees after disruptive kids get thrown out

Who doesn't love it when a Karen tries to blame others for her own bad parenting? This lady left her demon children at the movie theater late at night, where they broke the rules and caused a scene by hopping from one theater to the next and disrupting each screening. Of course, they were warned on several occasions and of course, because they are entitled kids, they did not adhere to said warnings. They ended up getting thrown out of the establishment and forced to wait outside for their Karen…

'What are you gonna do about it?': Tenant gets Karen neighbors evicted for blocking their driveway for over a year

It's hard to respect thy neighbor when thy neighbor is asking for it. Here, we have two Karens living in the neighboring apartment who were practically begging for some petty revenge. Not only did they frequently park their car in such a way that blocked this Redditor's driveway, but also they ignored the numerous attempts and requests for them to amend their behavior. Things escalated pretty quickly when the Redditor found the notes they left for the Karen nuisances back on their doorstep. The…

'Give my son a black belt': Karate Karen throws tantrum after son is denied a black belt, instructors defend themselves

This Karen has never heard the word “no,” and apparently, neither has her son. it turns out that the most dangerous part about the Karens of the world is that there is a high likelihood that they will pass their toxic traits to their children. What this essentially means is that where there is a Karen parent, there is likely a Karen child ready to keep that entitled behavior going until they themselves have kids. So on and so forth. The dynasty of Karens will seemingly never end. Here, we have…
