Karens exist in all industries, so it makes sense that they might not pop up in an army reserve unit. These male Karens insisted that the folks who managed processing logistics requests were taking too long with a specific order they made. They even tried to embarrass the reserve unit team at a big meeting with several higher-ranked individuals present. Well, that plan backfired as one of the members of this team, who shared this Reddit thread , looked up their processing request during the mee…

Don't mess with the employee checking you in a hotel. They hold the power!

Just because your birthday is super important to you, doesn't mean everyone else has to celebrate it with you. Birthday celebrations are a lot of fun for kids. They grow so quickly that each year feels like a big change. They can invite their friends over to play, eat delicious treats, and open presents (hopefully the new toys they've been wanting). As adults, it seems like some people just don't care about birthdays as much. You aren't growing or changing that much from year to year, and it's…

This hotel front desk worker is testing out their limits as an employee. It appears that a lot of hotel workers are allowed to turn away guests at their own discretion. For example, if a guest wants to check in, and they're clearly rowdy and disruptive after partying all night, the hotel worker is allowed to turn them away if they think that guest will be a disruption to others at the hotel. There are other times when guests treat the hotel staffers really poorly, shouting at them or berating t…

Dealing with kids is one obstacle, but dealing with their parents is almost always more challenging. Teachers can attest to this, and parents themselves are likely to agree. This dynamic becomes particularly transparent during gatherings and events, and Halloween is no exception. Here, we have a neighbor who was, for better or for worse, known by everyone to be a good baker. News travels fast in the suburbs, so it did not take long for the entitled Karen Mom who just moved to the neighborhood t…

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…

"She said she didn't steal, she borrowed."

Note to self: Don't mess with anyone who carries zip-ties in their pockets.

"After she left, some people in the park came over and gave Tim some food and drinks, just to show support."

If you want to pull off a scam then you need to have charm—Karens simply do not have that.

Let this story serve as yet another reminder to choose your battles. It's not worth it to pick a fight with someone who could easily make your life more difficult. If you're unable to see that, you may very well be blinded by your own hubris. Here, we have a Karen, who was actually named Karen. She shared an office in a building with another woman, whom the Redditor refers to as Karen-in-training. Karen-in-training's keycard was not working and it was part of the Redditor's job as the facility…

Things got weird fast when a man generously allowed his Karen neighbor and her kids to use his pool. At first, it was no big deal—she would ask, and he didn’t mind. But things took a turn when she started showing up unannounced, even using the pool when he wasn’t home. The final straw came when he returned from work one day to find Karen throwing a full-blown pool party with her friends, complete with floaties, snacks, and loud music. He confronted her, explaining that she couldn’t just use his…

'When Inspector came by, I told him, "I'm your guy!" Handed him a master key and lots of rooms and their issues and said, "Run wild." '

This story brings a whole new meaning to “eat your vegetables!” Here, we have a young woman who had the unique experience of rooming with not just one stranger but two: a mother and her kid. The good news is that the two parties generally stay out of one another's way and are respectful of their physical boundaries. The bad news is that all this started to change when the Redditor began to notice her leftovers were always missing. Now, the original poster (OP) makes a point to address her sympa…

Nobody is safe from a Karen at a fast-food drive-thru window...
