Go to reddit or YouTube. R/I don’t work here lady. Will keep you entertained for hours with stories of Karen’s behaving like “well” Karen’s.

Finally, with the misadventures of Karen, the happiest people are named "Lisa" Anyone that grew up in the 80's would understand.

Chicago's oh so successful mayor called White House press secretary "Karen" yesterday on twitter after McEnany called her a "derelict mayor" in a press conference.

From my understanding a "Karen" is a woman who complains about minor things, especially in a restaurant or retail setting. I think this applies to pretty much every woman I have ever known (and a fair amount of men). With my current wife, her acceptance rate on the first table we are shown at a restaurant is about 65%, so every third time we go to sit down, she asks to sit somewhere else. Similar thing (though not as common) for hotel rooms.

I think that makes her a "Karen", although I am not near dumb enough to tell her that ;-)

Hmmm. Not liking where we have been sat at a restaurant. Not enough ice in soft drink. Won’t eat at McDonalds, Burger King, Wendies on a roadtrip. Steak always too red in middle. Tomatoes in the salad. AC blows on this table, too cold in the restaurant. Pepsi and Coke aren’t working, we have to leave.

No, I have no idea what your talking about.

I am afraid to get nasty with the people making and serving me food. :mrgreen: My mother on the other hand is a one woman tornado. She starts out by complaining about the table location and then commences to telling them how to make her food. She just can't order off the darned menu. Then she runs the waitress like a paid servant. I always end up tipping like 40% to make up for it. I have watched my mother send back fried egs as many as four times because they are not just perfect. I am pretty sure she is a "Karen". :biggrinjester:

I use to tell the guys at my F.D. the worst the Chief can do is fire you, the Admin Secretary she can make it so you won't see a check for Weeks! Don't make her mad!
Government, like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master
If you ain't paranoid you ain't paying attention
Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here- John Parker

They should have started looting the store. Then the lack of a mask would not have been an issue.

About three minutes later the operator tells the officer, “They’re calling back and advising that that female is pulling down her pants and is now urinating inside the business.”

Roseville Police got to the scene and confirmed the incident to CBS13. Spokesperson Rob Baquera says officers arrested the woman after finding several stolen items from a nearby Dick’s Sporting Goods store in her vehicle.
Why can't people just comply with a simple dress code.
