The Karen

[Nekoborg]

Almost everyone has had at least one annoying episode with a typical Karen. Some might be unfortunate enough to have one living in their local community or even worse neighbors to one. Having one in the family can't be easier either.

What are some of your most annoying episodes dealing with a Karen?

I have yet to experience one. Starting to think this stereotype isn't as common as people make it out to be...

People complaining about calcium water spots on glassware and claiming they're dirty.

Still, you'd be surprised at the tips a dishwasher can get when they're divided up at the end of shift. And the IRS doesn't ask about them.

And it's not uncommon to know more about kitchen work than the high and mighty culinary school graduates.

My lessor (landlord?) told me that one of the other residents is a old woman who is a bit curious. She sounds like the type but I have never seen her. Maybe one day I might greet her by saying Привет to see what happens.

To tame a Karen is legendary.

(definition of a Karen: Karen is a pejorative term used as slang for a middle-class white woman who is perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who "use their white and class privilege to demand their own way".)

I have never experienced that. Every woman or girl (females in general) who was excessively self entitled and excessively demanding just used feminism and gender roles, obviously distorting and exploitiing gender roles in the most convenient way for them. You know, they take for granted every male gender role while at the same time they consider every female gender role as an unacceptable form of abuse and oppression.
I imagine that deep inside there are some women like this, like the definition of "Karen" says, but feminism is just too easy and convenient to use, it just works (sadly, our society really sucks) so they do not need to use anything else.
This is the only kind of self entitled and excessively demanding women I have ever seen in my life. Thankfuly in most of the cases it was "3rd person view mode".

There exists 2 Karens in my local community, one lives close by; the neighbor of my neighbor.

I actually haven't irl I guess? The closest was a girl at work one time that was in my way to put dishes away as a dish washer, She was talking to a guy and she was a bit on the bigger side.

And I wanted her to move so I could do my job. But she took offense and stayed in my way. And I would have physically moved her out of the way so I could do my job. But we live in a society, so I had to let her continue acting like a child.

I liked harvest moon back to nature as a kid. So the name "karen" being bad is still hard to internalize. As she was a nice character in that game. I really didn't know anyone with the name karen as a kid that caused any problems.
