35 Times ‘Karens’ Acted So Entitled, The Internet Had To Call Them Out For It In This Online Group
Acting like an entitled, spoiled brat won’t win you any favors and won’t make you any new friends. In fact, you’re bound to lose a few if you don’t tone it down and continue making other people’s lives a living hell.
To you and I, these people are simply huge jerks who are best left ignored. But to the internet, they’re known as ‘Karens,’ no matter their actual gender or real name. Shaming ignorant Karens has become so huge, it’s even spawned its own subreddit, the ‘Eff You Karen’ community that shows everyone how not to act if you want to be a good person.
In the mood for some more examples of unearned entitlement and outrage? Once you’re done upvoting the pics that made your jaw drop in this list, check out Bored Panda’s previous article about the ‘Eff You Karen’ community right over here.

Just Do It
Karen Time
Karen Alley Is Out Of Her Mind
The ‘Eff You Karen’ subreddit, founded in late 2017, is now homing in on the 1.2-million-member mark. Some of the subreddit’s rules include avoiding political topics, avoiding witch hunts, and censoring social media identities in order to protect the people being poked fun at.
They might be in the wrong and be way too entitled, but there are very few people who actually deserve being spammed by a bunch of angry internet users. Everyone makes mistakes and we need to leave enough room for people to grow and become better. Though, of course, that’s not an excuse for acting like a horrible, entitled person in the first place.

In a previous interview, I spoke about Karen memes and the context surrounding them with Matt Schimkowitz, Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor. According to him, there’s lots of potential for the meme to be insensitive and even offensive to women, so care must be taken when using this type of humor. He put it very plainly that we should all meme with caution, whatever the meme might be.
The Logic This Karen Has Is Very Small
This Karen Is Being Racist Against A Dog

I wonder why people feel it's their job to reprimand other people... if the person who drives the bus let's her on, that means it is okay
See, more people need that attitude. This is not an 'if you see something, say something' situation. This is an 'I don't know if there are rules or not but I think this should be the rule and I'm going to enforce it, nevermind that there are actual authority figures present.'

My 15 yo daughter gets ridiculed, on the daily, about her guide dog. It’s a German Shepherd. 1) no adult ever should approach a kid, tween or teen and say anything to them! More less an adult 2) she has ASD, Narcolepsy 1, seizures and several other conditions. 3) anyone approaching her makes her go silent. Then the a$$ wipes demand she speaks! 4) it’s always a Karen or Ken that berates her too. 5) when she does have the confidence to speak she makes them feel about an inch tall bc she is high functioning and what people don’t understand is high functioning ASD, in some cases, the person has a high IQ, which she does. The jerks can’t even comprehend her bc she is talking WAY above there heads. 6) “that dog” cost more than your car!!! Side not, please don’t ever interfere with a service dog while they are with their owners and ask to pet them. NO. They are working. They get plenty exercise and are treated like Gods in most homes bc they are the ones that protect our loved one.
I don’t know why people would harass other people because they have a DOG. It’s not doing anything to you, so leave it alone. German shepherds are good dogs. Could you give it a pet for me?

Missed opportunity there. How would she know what colour her dog is? She could have handed the Karen a paper (any paper, like a burger wrapping) that clearly states the dog is caucasian. To bad she can't see the look on "Karens" face
That would have been a hilarious response to Karen, lol

"Yellow ? Black ? What are those weird concepts, you f*****g moron? I am blind!"
In France even my american staffordshire terrier took buses and trains, and subways, the law just require a muzzle for any dog on public transportation. One time i was on the parisian subway to make a change of train station and he was lying on the floor in a full superman pose, and a group of asian tourists were about to enter the car, they saw him and went "NOPE, not this car". So i guess that they never saw superman sleeping with a muzzle on their subways.

The rude woman on the bus isnt yellow. maybe she should get off the f***ing bus!
How can some one look at that dog and say that... he/she is adorable!
There is, black animals are the less adopted, dogs and cats. I adopted a black cat who had to wait in several shelters for adoption because he was black, he was the most gentle and beautiful cat, a dog in a cats body. The only reason nobody took him before me was because he was black. And there are a lot of racism with dogs breeds too, such a shame. A labrador can bite and a pitbull can be the most gentle hugging happy friend too. People are idiots they need to categorize everything/everyone.

okay this is level 1000 karen here. HOW can you be rascist agaisnt a CUTE dog when the gal with it CANNOT SEE its color??? so many things are wrong here
"So, could you explain to me what the concept of color exactly is ? I was born blind and have always wanted to know, that'd be very kind of you". *Karen's brain explodes*
...shes lost her vital functions to prolong someone's being privileges
It's a damn assistance dog! It doesn't matter what color it is. And Rowley is adorable! Who's a good doggie?
You all got that that woman hates blacks, right? I'd put my life on it, no normal person has that kind of reaction to black dogs.
OMG!! Are these people for real??? We are doomed. These idiots are breeding.
Ok, ok, I have a good comeback for her. “Well, I’m glad I can’t see you if you look as dumb as you sound right now.”
I can imagine several funny thoughts going through the dog's head. I'm rolling.
LMAO THE FACT THAT SHE THOUGHT ONLY A CERTAIN BREED CAN BE A GUIDE DOG
*realizes blind people can't be racist cuz they don't even know their own skin tone..unless they became blind*
If this is in the UK, a dog can travel on a bus if they're a working dog or not. It's not often you see them, but our girl has been on a bus a couple of times.
This is called Dunning-Kruger effect - the Karen literally doesn't realize how stupid she is and sees herself as smart
God, I'm so glad I don't live where i have to rely on buses for transportation and the idiots that seem to inhabit them.
Ahhh. Poor doggo looks very sad to be told off for doing his job.
I know that there have always been people in the world who were this stupid, I'm just hearing more about it, than I ever did before, right? I mean that's all, Right?
There's no shortage of idiots, they surround us, and we have to learn to live with them (to my regret).
Should have told the Karen that she was insulting your sunglasses Guide dog. WTH - the gall and ignorance of people when it comes to disability or differences never ceases to disgust me.
they truly need to develop a vaccine for stupid... it's way past due
That’s really confusing because it’s just the fur on the dogs body not the skin, it’s like telling me I should get off a bus because my hair is dark lol
This lady is local to me, she has complex medical conditions. Rowley senses when she's about to pass out which happens frequently, he alerts her and she can lie down safely until the attack passes!
It would have been funny if everyone on the bus told her (the Karen) she was color blind
Labbies of any color are awesome......That said, a lot of breeds of dog can be great and necessary helpers. Guide dogs are also some of the best trained, well mannered, and sweetheart dogs I've had the pleasure to meet.
Ma’am I’m gonna have to kindly ask you to shut up and google the color of service dogs.
The look of befuddlement on that dog's face as s/he ponders the stupidity of some human beings.
Words fail me. I just hope the this doesn't discourage her from her travels, and that's a cute and proud doggie. Here's the story, if anyone wants to read it - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6578033/Blind-woman-told-f-ing-guide-dog-bus-St-Helens-Merseyside.html#comments
Are there countries where dogs aren‘t allowed in busses? When I was a child, my family didn‘t have a car. Going by bus was literally the only option we had if we wanted to go see a vet or similar.
I would have been tempted to say is it? I was told it was a guide dog and the breed was Labrador and the colour doesn't impact of their skills in guiding and helping me.
Irrespective of whether the dog is a seeing eye dog or not, dogs are allowed on buses in the UK, so up yours Karen, jog on!
This looks like it's the UK and dogs are allowed on buses anyway, guide dog or not. Woman should have been thrown off just for being abusive.
she literally likes yellow labradors which are basically white but bot the black ones🤔(x_x)
Jesus Christ Karen. This is a whole new level of racism. And I didn't honestly think it would ever go there. Idiot proved me wrong I see :,3
Karens are so petty that they'd resort to being racist to dogs?? seriously?!
Now that I think about it, I've never seen anything but black labs as guide dogs.
She should have replied "I may be blind, but I can see that you are a c*nt"
Unfortunately this was in the UK....we have a slight Karen problem here also.
Your country should buy a desert island far from civilization and send all karens to it and of course Trump could join them. No communication and no one checks on them. What a beautiful dream that would be.

“As [the meme] grows from a parody of a common social experience of someone demanding to speak to a manager to a statement about white privilege, the stakes over the meaning of the meme grow as well,” Matt told Bored Panda.

“I think that users of the meme should be cognizant that what they're meme-ing might not be their intent anymore. It's very possible that the meme could grow even farther to exhibit misogynistic tendencies, which are somewhat already present,” Matt warned those who use Karen memes to be aware of the context.

At the core of using memes for humor lies intent. Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt pointed out that the Karen meme, something that’s used and enjoyed by many people, could eventually become connected to something that many would find offensive if people with sexist beliefs started using the term as a “catchall for all women.”

Though we can’t expect memes to be completely neutral. “Meme-ing can be nihilistic artform and rewards really ugly behavior in some cases. Sometimes, what starts as a fairly inoffensive meme can grow into something really hateful, like Pepe the Frog. I could see that happening to Karen—though, I'm not really sold one way or the other on the debate."

According to Matt, it’s hard to find the exact origin of the Karen meme. However, he personally believes that the most convincing origin story is a bit from Dane Cook's 2005 comedy special , "The Friend That Nobody Likes" where Karen is given this title. "This is one of the earliest examples that we have to using a specific name to stand in for a whole type of person, and it's a comedic trope that we've seen dozens of times over the last 15 years," Matt explained the possible origins of the meme to Bored Panda.

My mother (who has asthma btw) has been wearing a mask out for the entire pandemic. Even now after she's been vaccinated she still wears a mask for the safety of others. If my mother can do it these idiotic dungbags can do it.
My little brother has terrible asthma and a number of allergies. We grew up in a farm - the kid was always masked. Now he's a successful personal trainer who owns his own gym and wore a mask all through the pandemic.

About this "Karen" trend in general. It sucks. Like all name callings suck. I can't imagine how little girls named Karen must feel these days, or anyone named Karen for that matter.
My mother in law is named Karen and she thinks it's funny bc she's not like those crazy people as far as kids being named Karen it's been the most unpopular name for over a decade not many new Karen's running around. It's a shame that this is even a thing that's for sure

I went to pay for some items I wanted to purchase at a museum store. As I took out my cash, the gentleman at he register asked me to please use a card, since they couldn't safely disinfect cash. I apologized and told him that I was sure that I was told that and I had simply forgotten. As I took out my card, I apologized again and said, " I'm sure that you get enough "Karens" in here, I would hate to be another one!" The look of sheer joy on his face was priceless! I like to think that we had made each others' day at that moment.
Work at a butchers shop, and had a lady coming in wanting chicken to make soup. So I was like "oh we have these special soup parts!" (a 5 kg chicken chopped in 4 pieces). She just stared at me and said "uh I always get a normal whole chicken". I was like oh that also works, not everyone knows about the soup chicken blah blah. She suddenly gets mad at me because she always got a whole chicken whilst we had something else she didn't know about. Almost screaming at me how we scammed her and that we have horrible service. She bought the chicken anyways and then stormed off yelling she would tell everyone how we are disgusting scammers. Lady, it just a piece of chicken
She didnt even want the cut apart chicken, anyway. She sounds like she needs a chill pill

We should rename make Karens after Tucker Carlson. Tucker and Karen: a match so horrible even Satan himself cringed.
I just don’t get why people won’t wear the stupid mask. My FIVE year old little brother with asthma and a bajillion health problems happily wears his mask inside and outside whenever he needs to. Btw, a group of Karens is called a Homeowners Association (at least some of the times)
I've got a theory, and hear me out, people who claim they can't wear a mask just can't stand the smell of their own breath.
I actually just got some disposable masks (kids size) and I was kinda really happy to get them because they were going to fit properly. Now here’s the odd part. They don’t smell good. It’s not like a plastic smell. I can’t even identify it. Can still wear them. Just think it’s bizarre.
