Usually when it comes to scheduling troubles at work, it is often the manager who does not honor their employees' schedules, but here we have a rare instance in which the employee was at fault. That's mainly because this person was a Karen through and through. Now, I do have sympathy for employees in freelance or part-time roles who make their schedules crystal clear to their managers and are then put in uncomfortable positions in which they are pressured to forgo their other commitments. My fi…

Supermarkets are already a relatively overwhelming experience for most of us, akin to navigating a labyrinth that's been starkly lit by harsh-white fluorescent lighting while a string of the most infuriatingly mundane acoustic covers of songs that were popular ten years ago play omnipresently throughout.

Airport security is where you'll often find the slowest and most selfish people in the world. It is also one of several public spaces where the Karens of the universe make themselves known as they seem to always believe that their flight schedules are more important than everyone else's. Now, even if you are lucky enough to have TSA Precheck, you are still likely to run into some of these people during your travels. My only piece of advice going into your next airport security experience is tha…

As Thanksgiving and the Holiday season come closer, we need to prepare ourselves for the choosing beggars of the world, who will be coming out of the woodwork demanding special treatment with an air of desperation about them. It takes a specific kind of person to be able to be simultaneously desperate and entitled, and in my own life, I tend to see a lot of this in family and friends toward the end of the year. We're talking about people asking for you to catsit for them for a few weeks and yet…

Sometimes you just have to act dumb and let the situation unfold on its own…

Having kids is the greatest joy one could experience, or so any new parent will tell you, despite that they haven't slept since the night before they became parents, and the bags under their eyes tell a different story. In fact, it's more than likely that this entire sentiment is really just a combination of sleep deprivation-fueled delusion and resigned coping with the fact that there's no going back.

Everyone gets embarrassed by their parents in public, but this one goes out to all the children of the entitled Karens and Kevins of the world. They have it so much worse than the rest of us. As someone whose greatest level of embarrassment during childhood as a result of something my parents did was when they danced up and down the aisle of a movie theater one time, I cannot imagine what it would be like to have a quintessential Karen as a parent. The closest I can get to that experience was w…

Do you have that one person in your life that you cling to when you're having a hard time in life and they never fail to put a smile on your face? Even if that smile is just for a second, it is healing. That was Aunt Cookie for this redditor. Aunt Cookie was in remission from her third time having cancer (and is still living life to the fullest to this day, apparently!) and was “all out of effs.” OP was close with her auntie and when her mom passed, she had her Aunt Cookie to lean on. While at…

Karens have the uncanny ability to identify, single out, and berate people who work customer service jobs, accosting them with wanton fury regardless of whether or not they even happen to be working at that time—or are even employed by that place at all.

Have you ever worked in a call center? If you have, you are stronger than I, good person. I salute you! That is a hard job. Sure, maybe they're sitting most of the day, but the kinds of people call center employees have to deal with phone call after phone call is just mind blowing. That takes some real patience and true inner strength. We're talking phone calls from people who are insulting your intelligence for literally no reason! The entitlement that seeps through the phone from these caller…

Sometimes, Karens get served a much-deserved dish of instant karma, but other times, they get exactly what they want. Here at FAIL Blog, we're used to triumphant stories where the little guy stands up for himself and calls an entitled Karen out on her nonsense either with some fun malicious compliance or delicious petty revenge. That being said, every so often, the Karens win and we are left to pick up the pieces of the messes they have made in the process.

Entitled customers are really twisting the whole “customer is always right” saying these days. Whatever happened to straight factual information? Some things simply cannot be argued, no matter who you are. For instance, salmon is a type of fish. When you order it, expect fish to come to your table. In addition, if a server tells you they are out of a specific dish, it's not up for debate. They're simply out. Once again, this isn't an opportunity to flex your muscles and enforce a false sense of…

As we age, we have a tendency to become less tolerant of those around us. We might even feel bad about that waning tolerance, yet we find it happening all the same. For example, I, now in my 30s, don't care at all for the screeching sound of children. Am I a Karen? Maybe—but regardless of that, it remains a certain fact that I would never intentionally buy a house adjacent to a park or a school as I can not abide by loud noises like the screeching of children. But here's the trick when it comes…

This person came by to “forgive” some employees who made him mad, but then he started yelling at them instead. In an odd video posted by u/galaxystars1, a bystander is filming inside of a AAA as a (former) customer flips out. There are two sides to every story, and we only see a small segment of what happened here. But as the upset customer says, he had a 26-year-long membership with AAA, and the company cancelled it. Though they don't say why, someone mentions that this dude shows up often to…

This older couple could not handle being called out for not driving properly. By not driving properly, we mean simply stopping in the middle of the street, an act that would make anyone honk at you. However, this delivery driver didn't realize when he honked that he would end up being confronted and intimidated by an older Karen and Kevin couple who refused to acknowledge that they were the problem. Despite their frustration at being captured on camera, the New Jersey delivery driver filmed eve…

Typically, purchasing something means that you intend to keep that thing for the duration of its life or until you pass it on. This directly contrasts with renting something, where you lease it for a set period of time for a fee with the expectation that you will be returning that thing by the end of the period you have paid for it. Both arrangements have their advantages, by owning something it's yours and you can do whatever you want with it, but this usually requires a much higher buy-in cos…
