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.

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.

“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.

How Dare You Have Dandelions
People are so weird about "weeds"... you are right- they are also known as WILDFLOWERS. I've always wondered who makes the classification for weeds vs plants, what's the difference?
Load More Replies...As well as completely edible and extremely heart healthy!
Load More Replies...I keep them out of my flower borders and lawn, but I have some wilder areas where I let them grow. Anything to help the bees.
Load More Replies...I suppose this is about dandelions. My yard is full of them and I specifically wait to mow my lawn until they have ceased blossoming because they are a very valuable source of food for insects! Also, I think it's a beautiful sight.
I actually love the sight at the beginning of spring where the whole yard is covered with dandelions! It’s like a field of flowers! And the butterflies and bees flying around are gorgeous! Makes it magical! 🐝 🦋
Why's everyone taking about dandelions? Are there foot-high dandelions in America? Cool!
Load More Replies...Dandelions are actually amazing plants that nourish the soil by increasing the nitrate content. Once they are done they go elsewhere. Also they can be eaten (leaves and flowers), but maybe not if you let your dog do its business in the garden.
I’m not mowing my lawn yet, it’s FULL of dandelions (every year I seem to have more than any other neighbour, even though not everyone has moved their lawns yet.) I guess they know they are safe in my lawn until other flowers start blooming! The bees do like them, I see them flying around I need those bees to pollinate my garden this summer too!
Load More Replies...Dandelions are not the problem. Ignorance is. The yellow flowers can be eaten in a salad, made into wine or even a dye. The leaves can also be eaten in a salad or cooked like other greens. The roots can be used to make dandelion coffee and have also been used to treat a variety of health problems. If you still think it is a useless weed, think again.
Dandelion wine is gooooood! Silver linings, people...silver linings.
Sigh, if this is how you want to live, move to an area with a strict HOA. Hope everything you do meets their standards.
This is my house. I bought it and the yard came with it. I'll grow friggin' pink dandelions if I wanna.
Yeah those cancer causing herbicides that kill dandelions are SO much healthier!
Take a mirror with you on your walks. And watch the beauty shine from your pathetic ugly face.
Or maybe be considerate to the wildlife - bees, beetles etc - that are dependent on the pollen that your neighbours 'weeds' provides them until your stupid cultivars are waiting to perfectly bloom !!
They are actually critical links in the nutrient cycle, which helps keep soil mineral rich. And, you can eat them
Dandilions are an excellent medicine for dieabetes and vital to bees, hence vital to our food supply.
I once asked the boy's from across the road why they preferred to play in our garden and they said that my garden was better as we had the nice yellow flowers and they didn't.
OOH SORRY KAREN I DON'T GIVE A DIDDLY DARN F**K IF MY YARD OFFENDS YOU, IT'S MY PROPERTY AND I WILL DO WHAT I F*****G LIKE WITH IT
In the old days, dandelions were a prized crop. The greens are very good for you. People actually tore up lawns to plant dandelions.
No such thing as weeds. There are unwanted plants, invasive plants, non-native plants. Be specific. And if it's someone else's lawn, piss off.
Um, dandelions don’t grow a foot high, folks. It’s probably something like wild lettuce or milkweed. Milkweed is especially good for monarch butterflies, whose numbers are dwindling, so I personally would leave it alone. Oh, and if this was me you were complaining about, I’d tell you to mind your own business and stay the f**k away from my yard.
Dandelions can grown to 45 centimeters = 1.5 feet. So yes it can be dandelions. (I learned elsewhere, and earlier today, that they grow shorter stalks if you mow them, so presumably the whole yard is unkempt in this case. I also learned that they used to be grown instead of grass, with many other wildflowers, on purpose in the 19th century because they were considered very useful.)
Load More Replies...Search YouTube for "The History Guy Dandelions" absolutely fascinating.
To each their own. I try to keep them out of my front yard, but I enjoy blowing dandelion fluff as much as the next person in my back yard (I live in the country, btw, not a city neighborhood)
I lived in the Highlands of Scotland where dandelions were allowed to grow feely on the pathways and fields, they were beautiful.
Please consider that your face is destroying view on our neighbourhood.
Dandelions are known to fight diabetes! -so sad to see diabetic neighbor killing them.
well to bad Karen those dandelions are in my property. plus dandelions have healing property's. I use them whenever I get a cut or something. heals it in hours instead of days. plus less pain.
they are not weeds, they are bee food< and i am keeping them, thank you very much. keep your nose out of my yard or a bee will get it ;)
One time my yard had ‘weeds’ in it and one of the neighbors took pictures so we had to clean it up.
Our yard is full of morning glorys which are a weed that flower and look really nice
Weeds are still flowers they are just ones we don’t cultivate on purpose.
Also the first nectar For bees of the season. No bees, no us.
Those “unsightly” flowers are the first source of food for bees in the spring. Don’t be an idiot. Bees need this food so that you can have food for yourself and your family.
when I lived in detroit my neighbor came into my yard one day and dug up all my dandelions leaving ugly holes all over my yard. I asked him why he did it and he said because they're weeds. I said, yes, but they're MY weeds. I love dandelions and have been known to help them reseed.
They feed the bees!!! In the spring, before the flowers are in bloom, dandelions are one of the only food sources for bees. I won't let my husband get rid of them anymore.
(Makes a garland of dandelions and hands them to her with a snarky smile)
wow! i had no idea dandelions could be offensive -- I think I'll plant some for my neighbors and see what happens.
I have a wild hare living under the woodpile in my backyard. I often see her up at the crack of dawn wolfing down dandelion flowers, must be like candy for her. Natural weed control!!
A weed is a plant in a position that the gardener doesn't want it to be....they are all plants.
Dandelions may be unsightly to humans, but they are invaluable for insects.
As for as I'm concerned if it comes out of the ground and I like the way it looks, it's not a weed. It's a plant.
if you have dandelions in your yard, it indicates a lack of maintenance or care. Sorry, i agree with this one.
Dandelions are amazingly healthy. The root of them has amazing heart benefits. Fun fact, the aspirin company Bayer, leading in sales for heart attack prevention is part owner of round up, which lost a huge lawsuit for causing cancer. Dandelion roots and aspirin contain the same ingredients. Buy our aspirin, kill organic healer, catch cancer.
I like my yellow flowers... :D Every time I get braced to go out and mow, we get another rain shower. Good thing I have high fences surrounding my property.
AND I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I LIKE BLOWING THEM AND
Load More Replies...defination of a weed: anything growing where you do not desire it to be
Dandelions are flowers. I have loads of them, and every time they go to seed, I walk around kicking the seeds into the wind as a thank you to those of my neighbors who still insist on using harsh pesticides that taint the air I'm trying to breathe.
I let mine grow as bee food too - but you have to mow them just before they go to seed. Otherwise seeds fly everywhere and all the "weed" haters will use even MORE weed killer to get rid of them. Defeating the purpose of us trying to help the environment.
I respect your opinion but for this person to complain to others is another thing

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.

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

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.
