45 ‘Karens’ That Went Too Far And Got Shamed For It Online, As Shared By This Online Group
An inflated sense of self or a staggering lack of self-awareness are generally pretty hard traits to make friends with, but entitlement has a way of coming up in people who have absolutely not earned it. But a great way to keep ballooning egos in check is to shame them online.
So it’s not surprising that there are multiple internet groups all dedicated to showcasing just how ridiculous some people's behavior is and documenting it for the rest of the internet. So prepare to roll your eyes as you scroll through, be sure to upvote your favorite examples of “Karens” in their natural habitat, and comment your own experiences below.

Roll her off the edge of the flat earth she probably also believes in.

This is what happens when people think everything is about them. I had to deal with a coworker who objected to my speaking in Spanish to another coworker who felt self-conscious about her English. The idiotic one demanded that we speak only English around her because otherwise she had no way of knowing if we were talking about her(!?!). I explained our conversations were either work related or personal. Either way, not her business. She went to the boss who then called me in and informed me that in the future, we were to speak only in English. I explained to her that what she was demanding was illegal (at least in California, I don't know about anywhere else) and we were entitled to speak in any language we liked. However, we'd only be using English when speaking to the idiot. That was the end of that. Idiot still complained from time to time, but I basically just told her to pound sand whenever she did.
Load More Replies...Not 100% sure that this conversation truly happened. Sounds like an urban legend
yea well sometimes two negatives can make a positive, and the positive is a racist lady gets owned
Load More Replies...I wish I could think of these things!!! The most recent was when a *neighbour* from several doors down started yelling at me ‘that isn’t your garbage bin’ as she picked up the small bag I had put in, she whipped out her cell phone to start recording as I laughed saying, ‘ if you are so concerned about the trash perhaps you should start with yourself.’ She sputtered, continuing on albeit much more subdued as I smiled a smile of victory. My next door neighbour never fills up their bin and doesn’t mind if I put a bag in…. I sweep her sidewalk for her.
Karen’s Revenge
Why do people insist on standing so close to others in queues? WHY???? It doesn't make anything go quicker, just makes others think your a bit if a weirdo trying to smell their hair or the like!
Ops you're (auto correct failure and app not letting me edit!!!)
Load More Replies...I had some idiot ask me to give him 6 feet in the line for the aircraft check-in. I was already four feet behind, wearing a mask, and HE WASN'T WEARING ONE as well as being only 18" from the desk clerk. If he was that worried he should have been a bit more proactive about protecting himself.
If only every Karen’s reaction to being corrected was to flock 15 ft away from you. That would just be so wonderful.
Oh Karen. You So Funny
Whenever I get my hair cut, I tell my stylist "Don't make me look like a Karen"
You'd get that god awful Kate Goslin over-straightened straight, spiky-ish, blonde streaked (not highlights) hair, that I am pretty sure is meant to have roots that dark!
Load More Replies...If anyone actually knows, why is called “Karen” and not some other name?
I have heard that a guy was on line, I don’t know if it was a chat room or Reddit, and he was always sharing stories about his ex-wife Karen, who was apparently an entitled narcissist and insane. They became legendary and thus “Karen” become synonymous with entitled crazy women. I don’t know if it’s true or not though.
Load More Replies..."Chic hairstyle"? First off, who even uses "chic" anymore? And second, hello Karen.
“Karen” is just a modern iteration of a long tradition of certain people using their (real or imagined) status to mistreat others and generally act in an entitled manner. Older, alternative names include "Barbecue Becky", "Cornerstore Caroline", and "Permit Patty," or even the classic “soccer mom.” In 2023, “Karen” doesn’t even have to refer to an entitled female, there are plenty of male Karen’s as well.
“Karen” specifically likely originated from a 2016 internet meme and was later popularized by Reddit. The term spread and now there are multiple internet groups dedicated to sharing, discussing, and shaming Karens.

Load More Replies...Karen You Can Wear A Mask For 3 Minutes
I am having PTSD flashbacks to my bartending days and the whole mask thing.
My mum has a letter stating she cannot wear a mask due to extreme shortness of breath due to her heart condition. She still wears a mask 90% of the time and only takes it off when she is at a clear distance from anyone to get her breathing regular, I cant convince her she is exempt, she has had covid too and survived so I don't push unless she gets ridiculous with her suffering to gasp and inhale then I put my foot down.
I would go to this place just because the owner backed employees and stood up to a jerk rather than succumbing to 'the customer is always right'. I had a boss once who would do anything it took- comp bills, etc so that the clients wouldn't leave a bad review, ignoring the abuse to the staff.
My mum has health conditions which meant that she could handle a mask for maybe 5 minutes on a good day. Like many who can't wear masks for health reasons, she is one of the people considered most at risk from COVID. Not once did she use her exemption, it was hard to only ever be in public for a few minutes at a time, but she did so without complaint. Being an ex nurse and having former colleagues telling her what wards were really like helped keep perspective.
My aunt and dad were both immunocompromised and they wore mask. I have asthma and I wore mask.
People used to whine that they were "asthmatic", sometimes even threw a fake cough in there. I pulled out my inhalers and the spacer for them - a lot went white and either naffed off or put on a mask and, shockingly, had no trouble at all breathing through it.
Load More Replies...I have asthma and am claustrophobic and I wore mine daily for way longer than the average did. I just at the beginning of this summer said I don't need one in every indoor area in the world. Still wear one in doctors offices hospitals and clinics but that's all now.
Everyone latched on to that "health conditions" Excuse as a reason for not wearing a mask.
Some people genuinely did have health reasons they couldn’t wear masks but you’re right that many people did just claim it to not wear masks. Also that whole “religious exemption” thing that was going on

A Story Shared By A Friend In A Discord Server
Makes me wonder how she'd act I'm the emergency room. "What do you mean this guy is having a heart attack? What about MY LEG!"
Or "so he's got a KNIFE sticking out of him. What about my leg?"
Load More Replies...I want to know the story about how the guy was able to get poison ivy in his eyes.
Yeah I'm call bs on this story. Poison Ivy doesn't work like that.
Load More Replies...I'm imagining that background fish character from SpongeBob screaming "MY LEG!!!"
I still remember when I had a muscle strain in my neck, my older brother drove me to the hospital and once we got there we were told it was a busy night and we could be waiting like 2-3 hours just to get into a room and maybe another hour for a nurse to get there, so we waited and like halfway through this karen comes in and starts telling the receptionist that she needs to go in right now and get a room. I think she had a cut on her leg? It wasn't in need of immediate medical attention though. So at 2 am here is this woman screaming at this poor woman surrounded by people that do not want to hear it and eventually security had to get involved, but hey right after I was called in so it ends on a good note.
I reaIIy, reaIIy want the fuII story about how poison ivy feII on his eyes! CertainIy, it can, it does cIimb, but what are the chances?
I've had the opposite experience. I went to the doctor with chest pains one night and they start rushing me past people while I'm saying "no no no it's not a heart attack I just have a cold and a really bad cough and I think I've torn a muscle. I can wait". I felt really bad for the woman and her daughter who were sitting waiting but the receptionist/nurse were adamant. Saw the doctor, told him the same thing but got made to have an ECG. Perfectly fine. Doctor finally decides it's not a heart attack then says "you probably strained a muscle coughing" *sigh*
It's called "triage" you stupid b*tch. That's how A&E's and ER's get the hypochondriacs/slackers/whining for no reasoners OUT. A heart attack will ALWAYS come before a bee sting, and a guy with poison ivy IN HIS EYES will ALWAYS come before some entitled cow with a slight "boo boo".
Similar thing happened to me. I was puking blood (turns out I had an ulcer, fine now after meds and rest) A karen was in front of me in line arguing she needed to see a doctor 'RIGHT NOW" for her bruised wrist (she could use it just fine to fill out forms and turn magazine pages though). My name got called first and she threw a temper tantrum. Cue the most perfectly timed bloody vomit from yours truly. She shut up immediately.
All that being said how do you "get" a new doctor cause you moved? Like, you don't buy one.
What makes the “Karen” meme so appealing and long-lasting is its perfect blend of entitlement, pettiness, and a lack of understanding. A customer making a legitimate request to a business is not a Karen, if one is entitled to a refund, they should actually get it and shouldn't be shamed for requesting it. For a time, the term was associated with a specific haircut and demeanor, but as public awareness has evolved, people now realize that “Karens” come in all shapes and sizes.
My Mom Asked Me What Makes A Woman A Karen. I Showed Her This. She Immediately Understood
Don't understand why people get so offended when someone wants to avoid them. May not even be the case, or perhaps it's something to do entirely with something else.
Karen In Training
Because we have an system quite literally designed to produce stupid people who are unwilling to learn even the most basic of logical concepts.
Load More Replies...The only acceptable thing to ask from businesses in connection with promotion are promo codes and promo links. Then, if your advertisement is good, you will get something for your promotion and they'll gain too. But tjose self declared 'influencers' don't want that because they know they won't generate enough revenue for this to be worthwhile. They do not really want a collaboration, they just want free stuff
This is how everyone should reply to "influencers". They're nothing but ultra entitled panhandlers, who dont need the money or help.
When Karen Misses Breakfast
I wish my manager had told the Karens when I was working in the restaurant business! 😆
The owner of the restaurant I worked at didn't put up with that. We had lines out the door every weekend. Get rude with staff, he would kick you out and do it for everyone to hear. Best boss ever.
Load More Replies...Technically, she could still order breakfast (if you're going by the whole "breaking your fast" definition of it) it just wouldn't be whatever egg/cheese/bacon/potato/waffle or whatever type thing she wanted to break her fast with. :p
I will be thrilled to visit that restaurant. They will lose NOTHING from dumping rude, entitled twits
Who in the f*ck has breakfast as late as 10:20?? That's almost lunchtime.
More managers need to stop with the whole "the customer is always right" bullsh*t. I (almost) got fired in high school for not serving someone 5 minutes before we closed (tills had been cleared, ovens/grills were off and being cleaned, etc.). She wanted 3 cheeseburgers/fries and something else, but I had to tell her no. She got really pissy with me - long before we called them Karens - I was just like, "Mam, can you read? We close in now, 4 minutes. That's not even enough time to re-heat the grill, so no - I can't serve you". She did call to complain the next day but my coworkers backed me up on what a b*tch she was, so the manager let it slide.
Stopping breakfast at 10am is stupid. But if that's the policy, that's the policy, so you take your business elsewhere and don't make a fuss. But definitely take your business elsewhere. Breakfast stops at 10am? Sheesh.
not to defend her, but 10 is a little early to stop serving breakfast
No it's not. If places stop breakfast service, 10 is pretty standard.
Load More Replies...For example, Elon Musk was called a space Karen for some statements he made, although some have put forth alternatives like “Ken” or “Kevin,” however, none of these have really stuck. It seems that the recursive nature of internet memes will ensure that “Karen” remains the go-to way to refer to a person that is so entitled that they really deserve to be shamed online.
I Hate The Sound Of Children's Laughter
She’s using her pets as proxies for her own distaste for hearing a small child happily playing outside—-something I would much rather hear than loud parties and car stereos, tbh. Kids playing outside make a neighborhood feel so happy and normal, like my suburban neighborhoods were when I was growing up in the sixties and seventies. I also would bet good money her dogs aren’t really upset at all, and are actually just dying to have a small kid to play with them, instead of the boring old b***h who feeds them. Same goes for the parrot having something more interesting than just a landscape to look at, and who might benefit from a visit with someone else besides the boring old b***h who feeds them.
Load More Replies...Look. I don't like kids. I especially find how loud they can be very irritating. However this woman is completely unreasonable! My neighbors in the condo next to me have 3 kids who are often loudly giggling, running along the shared balcony outside and making lots of noise. Frustrating? Yes. However I just turn up the TV or put earplugs in and I'm fine. I would NEVER ask my neighbors to make her kids stop having fun!
I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening to that phone call to the police
most of your comments are so wholesome and positive, and so is this one XD
Load More Replies...Must be a heck of a place to live. Around here, we get to play, "Was that fireworks, a car backfiring, or gunshots?" every week. Let's switch houses, babe, I'd LOVE to hear children laughing. Nutbar.
Karen Still Doesn't Get It
Karen has nothing to do with race, ethnicity, or gender. People are not born Karen. Karen is a mindset. Karen is a choice. Don't be Karen, folks!
I do feel bad for people who are actually named Karen.. they can't help it.
Load More Replies...I kind of agree with this and of course I'll get down voted. But the fact that this stereotype is a woman is meaningful, I think.
We do have a "Kevin" version...Karen is just more commonly seen.
Load More Replies...It IS unfair to all the decent women called Karen so maybe just start saying 'a*****e' instead?
True. I know I jumped on the bandwagon but it's gotten stale real fast. I see how it's a slur to be used against any woman who says anything, even if it's important and necessary, and it has become a slur to oppress us from speaking up to valid injustices, pointing out safety issues, and doing anything, really. I'm not saying it's the same level as the "N" word. No, but it has been used as a manipulative tactic to shut down women and have themselves rethink their tone, words, reasons for reaction when they are in the right, and second guess if it was okay to say anything at all. I've been there. it's no different than "b***h" except "Karen" isn't considered a curse word.
Load More Replies...to quote john mulaney, "if you're comparing the badness of two words and you won't even say one of them? that's the worse word."
Women's "movement"... as it was called... fought for women's right to stand up and be counted. However, this is not what we were thinking.
"Karen" unites us all, for "Karen" knows not the bounds of race nor creed.
Not is this an example of why you're a Karen, so many times over, but a stupid Karen. The "N" word? Are you out of your f@cking mind? Can someone, honest to god, be that stupid, insulting, and ignorant at once? How does she make it through a day!? Does she get a chaperone of sorts? And, gee, only since "before slavery" has the patriarchy been around? Does research or knowledge even cross your closed mind? What is it like to just believe whatever pops into your head to justify your dense, uneducated, racist statements??!!! WTF.
Karens Assemble!
Leviticus 18:22 The translation of this verse reads: “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” The literal translation of the original Hebrew, however, is “And with male you shall not lie lyings woman.” The word translated as “lyings” is found elsewhere only in Genesis 49:4, where it refers to incest. In Leviticus, this verse comes in a list of prohibitions against having sex with family members, so it is reasonable to conclude that it is a prohibition against incest. They don’t even know the meaning of the book they claim theirs.. hypocrites
THANK YOU!!! I have told people again and again that translations are not 100 percent, and also...other humans wrote it!!
Load More Replies...To the woman on the left of the pic - Leviticus 19:28, “You shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves.”
Yes, however many of the rules in Leviticus were overthrown and rendered useless once Christ came back. The rules that are important are the ones that Christ reinforced in the New Testament.

How does Genesis 1 factor in this? Adam didn't exactly have a choice, it was Eve or nothing.
And that isn't even Genesis ONE, if I'm not mistaken.

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. And God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the water

Yes trying to take advantage of that whole family by offering a free microwave, what a terrible scam!
No, no, no. Single parents need to stop advertising they're single parents. It leaves them and their kids vulnerable and it's often not relevant to the topic of question about their parental status.
We were fixing a huge sectional couch on FB a few years ago. We had pick up only stated in the post. Had several people ask if we can deliver it. One was someone who told us she was a single mom and lived 40 min away one way asked if we could deliver it. I told her we could deliver for $40. She cussed me out and told me that she hoped I was happy with her kids having to sleep on the floor.
Why does this keep making the rounds here? I must have seen this on at least a dozen different BP posts/threads over the past couple of years
Oh the poor single mom who made bad decisions now I need everybody to help me. Too late you made your bed now lie in it
Well That’s One Way To Shill Your Mlm

Load More Replies...“poor people androids” while she’s begging for s**t like cmon you’re broke as hell 😭😭
The problem with so many of these posts is that it's entirely possible they aren't even broke. They're just greedy, entitled and shameless. Maybe I'm getting cynical but most times I don't believe people, and the moment they knock a legitimate offer back (like refusing an Android phone) it just reinforces that belief.
Load More Replies...For a broke gal she's sure struggling to climb that mountain of luxury. She'll be a part of rainbow trail before she reaches that summit with the way she's going.
Indeed, using the magic of the internet, we are actually able to discover just how prevalent “Karens” are, resulting in some places slowly adjusting policies to limit this sort of behavior. San Francisco, for example, has the Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) Act, to prevent, you guessed it, Karens from calling emergency services over, say, a child going about their business.

As someone that only grew up within the boundaries of Great Brittan, It still sounds weird when Americans talk about biscuits in this way. Even though I've know for a fair few years now what they are talking about, it's still alien. Sausage cheese biscuits just sounds... WTF???
It sounds a bit weird to us when you call cookies "biscuits" too. We know what you're talking about, but still... 😁
Load More Replies...I must admit I'm getting close to this point with McDonalds too. They consistently mess up orders and not just "no cheese on the burger". My last couple orders have literally not included a burger on one (didn't discover it until I got home). And added a sundae and an apple pie to the order when I didn't order them, but didn't actually include them with the order. So billed for them but never got them. I complained about the later one but no actual result. Haven't been back since.
“Military Spouses Serve More Than Anyone, We Deserve Free Wine!”

Load More Replies...Wait what? So your hubby is risking his life in the military so you can get free wine? Um are you f*****g serious? People actually think like this?
Same kind of military wife that justifies cheating because she's lonely
My husband is a bus driver. Why tf I don't get free gasoline at the gas station???? I DESRVE THAT!!! It' my human right as the spouse of a bus driver 😄
There's a strong "You will address my by my husband's rank" energy in this one.
Nothing more annoying to other military wives/husband's than this c**p.
Load More Replies...Just once I want one of these military wives (or husbands, I'm not sexist) to explain how they serve.
Having 2 sibs in the military I cam tell you their wives actually do have expectations based on their spouses rank like helping other military spouses and arranging some functions etc. And being a military spouse is really hard especially when that spouse is deployed. That said, never in my wildest dreams could I picture one of my sisters acting in this entitled way. For most they are more concerned about caring for each other and offering support not thinking they are entitled to free booze.
Load More Replies...No. Just no. Did YOU do any fighting? Did YOU go to foreign countries? Did YOU watch you friends die? Maybe I care because of what I’ve seen my dad go through, but shut the f**k up, you didn’t do anything

I bet this review works as better advertising than some influencer post. Now the rest of us can rest assured that there won't be an influx of entitled influencer at the restaurant!

Load More Replies...Imagine that. A restaurant that's wants people to pay for their food.
I'm sure all "11,000" followers (which I'm sure is an inflated number), live within a reasonable driving distance??? Yeah. And, I'm sure the other 10,990 followers are going to fly out from 500+ miles away solely to dine at a restaurant based on your Instagram... /s 🙄 thanks a bunch you entitled twat!
Great post and good news!!! Not only she told the world how good their food is and
Yeah, moron, your promise of BS on Instagram and a good review entitles you to free gnocchi! And that sure did make the food taste bad all of the sudden and made the staff rude suddenly when you received the bill! Thanks, you just gave the restaurant an actual good review,so stop getting ahead of your moronic self.
So she's never going back to enjoy "some of the best food she's ever" had? Yeah, that'll show them 🙄😅
Some brands have tried to capitalize on this trend, for example, Domino's Pizza in Australia and New Zealand ran a campaign offering free pizzas to “nice Karens,” in a somewhat misguided attempt to foster positive behavior. The campaign was criticized and it does seem foolish, as what better way to bring out the worst in people than conditional free food? Ultimately, Dominos had to apologize for the campaign.

Toddlers can't really enjoy DW. They're too young. You chose to take a 2 or 3 year old with little to no control of their emotions. You deserve what you went through
This!!! My MIL was upset that I would let her take my 3yo to DW (we live 5 states away....!). It wouldn't have mattered to her, and she was too young to wait in those lines. I took her to the local theme park on overcast days and she got to ride her faves multiple times. So much more fun for her

Exactly. A three year old is not even gonna remember a day at Disneyland, they're gonna be tired and bored in one hour. It's a waste of money. A three year old is gonna be happy and entertained with a bike ride in a park/in the country, a short visit to a pet farm or something like that, a playful afternoon in the yard playing in a kiddy pool... Save your money for a trip to Disneyland when they are at least in elementary school.

I have. 2009 KIA Sportage we bought new. Damn thing just keeps on running, reliably, while other people’s fancier cars keep breaking down. If it ain’t broke, keep driving it. Drive it until it’s almost dead—-it is incredibly nice to pay the loan off and NOT have that bill every month—-then limp it into the dealership as a trade-in for a new one.

They will, in true Karen fashion, call them up and write about them online with ceaseless energy, in an attempt to better company policy towards things like refunds.

All bc we required masks during a mask mandate....

People like this make me want to carry around a vial of ebola. Specifically to chuck in their face and go OOPS guess a mask would have stopped you dying but hey.
Freedom to Breathe Agency just sounds so much like the made up name of a fake anti vax agency.
This is another example of the Governments mistakes during Covid. They announced that masks were mandatory unless you had an exemption. But then failed to require some sort of proof of exemption document. It should have been obvious that people would try to exploit that loophole so they should have created an official exemption document (whether a card, or just an app) and made it a requirement to present it when/if challenged.
How Dare Contractors Use The Bathroom
My Dad had this happen on a few occasions when he was a kitchen fitter. Was always the wealthy home owners that didn't want a commoner using their toilet. He had to use the café down the road.
That’s inhumane. If they’re doing work for me, they can use my bathroom, and I will supply them with cold drinks or coffee, whichever they prefer. You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. When you’re nice and gracious with everyone (not a pushover, just firm but nice about it), they will treat you better and do better work for you. When you’re an a*****e to them, they’ll make sure to get some of their own back because you dehumanized them. Believe me, it’s only a small percentage who will take advantage of someone nice. I believe they risk losing they contractor’s license if they cheated, or stole from, their customers, and just do not do it, or tolerate their employees trying to do it. So just be nice, and you’ll fare so much better.

My neighbours actually forced the contractors to use a port-a-potty rather than let them use one of the *5* toilets in their house (only 2 people living there). I guarantee that the workers went on a piddle party around every drain in the house in revenge!
Most contractors I know will go out of their way to avoid using a customer's toilet. My SO will hold it all day until he gets home just to avoid any potential awkwardness which sounds hellacious if you are in a bathroom you can't use all day
I say if they treat you like an animal, go behind the couch like an animal.
It sounds like she would prefer they crapped on her carpet…oh well, her choice
Load More Replies...In all my years of working construction I never even considered taking a c**p in a customers bathroom. I would always say I had to run to Home Depot, go somewhere at lunch, or, if we were going to be working there more than a few weeks, would have a port a potty delivered. They are not expensive to get. In my opinion, this lady is not wrong
In fairness, when I was a kid, contractors stole a load of jewellery from my house that they only would have had access to because they were allowed to use the bathroom.
My mil had some valuables stolen when she had her house renovated. I had also left my Bluetooth speaker there and told them they could use it and they took it. When we asked if they had seen it they said they hadn’t. No one else has been there and my 68 year old mil definitely would not take it. The same guy and his crew stole some of my husband’s tools. Couple years later we saw one of the guys had been arrested for theft and burglary.
Load More Replies...I mean, after they were finished and gone I would definitely clean the hell out of the toilet (This is because I'm a germophobe and feel the need to scrape skin from bone if anyone so much as brushes against me) but I certainly wouldn't deny them access to the toilet.
I, personally, would prefer contractors to ask to use my bathroom and then that a dump in my commode rather than have them do that very thing behind my garage.

Other People In Labor? But I Had An Appointment!!
I was sent home after being at the hospital for over 2 hours, having gotten there at 6am. Why? They had other women in full labor that needed to be taken care of more. Came back 2 days later and got the best treatment from my nurses for being understanding. It was disappointing, but if it had been me in labor, I would hope others would understand
How dare all those other women go into labour without an appointment!!!
For goodness sake, where is the common decency? What would she feel if she were in labor?
That's just it, it seems like having labor induced is almost like a fad. That way you have the child. When it's convenient for you, you don't wait until you're going into labor.
Load More Replies...I can understand about being disappointed that your own doctor isn’t the one delivering the baby but we all know that’s not a guarantee. I’d be uncomfortable with a complete stranger being in that space, but I also recall labor and once you’re at the end of it, I don’t think I could have picked my doc out of a line up. I would never be mad at the hospital like that, I respect their knowledge and ability to triage. I know if medically needed I’d skip the line that time, and if not, I can wait. Docs and nurses are doing their best.
I am a frequent flier at a local ER. I understand triage and all that stuff. Me puking up everything I have eaten in the past few hours does not trump broken bones and other bigger issues. Especially new peeps.
"Should've took that. . . ." That's right, the should have took that. Who should have taken what into consideration? Do she mean the women in active labor should have checked on available beds before going into labor? Or does she mean that the hospital should have made provision based on future probability when they made her appointment?

Carpooling Karen Reports A Fart
She should have farted back and locked the windows. Missed opportunity. Oh well, you live, you learn. Get better, Karen.
Thanks for informing me that my son still has full funktional bowel movements. I've been worried already.
Kinda depends on what they're expecting here. Was it he farted and didn't say "excuse me"? Was it because he farted like an elephant trumpeting and said "hahaha that was awesome"? Was it because when he farted it smelled like Satan had crawled from hell, dragging the rotting corpses of the damned behind him? For that matter, how old was the son? Was it a 5 year old or a 35 year old man?
How do you even reply to this? Sorry, forgot to tell a child to never fart anywhere, at any time of the day, won't happen again!
Personally i would just reply with a simple - nice.

Karen Wants To Speak To The Manager Of Netflix
There's no limit to how many people can subscribe to Netflix or Disney+. Single people having it does not prevent you from having it, you bitter psycho....

Load More Replies...Maybe learn about contraception if you're on your fourth kid and can't cope with the three you already have..
Of course this idiot would rather leave her kids in front of the TV rather than actually talk to them or play board games
Is she aware that single adults using an online service doesn't stop her from using that same online service?
I can only guess that maybe she has cheap or poor quality internet and thinks that other people using the service are the reason she gets bad performance when streaming? It's a really strange take. Like if she really likes this service for her kids.. she'd want them to have more customers to stay in business and create new content.
Load More Replies...Disney+ is not only targeted at kids. There is age 18 rated content on there.
But seeing as they are talking about the pandemic, this was most likely before they decided to add all that on.

Firstly go away and learn to use technology properly for yourself and Secondly, how about you try doing some activities with kids instead of using cartoons to raise your kids.
"Nothing Relaxing Or Fun" About Server's Mom Dying
Note the date. Two days before Christmas. Ten bucks says the poster considers themselves a "good Christian".
Wow, so the lesson here is that person should Just kept their grief to themselves. No empathy anymore.
I honestly don't think this one is that bad. if I was out to eat at a restaurant, and had to listen to the wait staff talk about one of their dead mother and her funeral arrangements for 45 minutes, I wouldn't have been all that happy either. I would tend to agree that that is unprofessional behavior.
I am losing all hope in humanity. Guess I need cute pets post to recover from this one.
Hate me if you will, but I'm kinda with the diner on this one. For starters, if the waitress mother just died the manager is an a*****e for making her work. Secondly, it really isn't something I'd like to be hearing while trying to have a dinner. Assuming they're being honest about the discussion being loud. I've experienced a similar thing with staff discussing banging their latest boyfriends (maybe one night stands) and comparing d**k sizes and how good they were in the sack. Slightly different, but holy s**t be a little discrete when customers can hear you.
Imagine other people running around out there having their own lives and stuff...

We've always brought them on the day. The last few I recall having big tables with the MIL or an Aunt hovering over it like a security guard lol.

When that entitled bridezilla later found out that sil originally planned to gift them with a downpayment for the house they were planning to buy and took home a cheque for 25k she had planned to give to the couple on the wedding day she threw a tantrum on social media and then another one when the SIL responded and cleared up the brides entitlement for everyone to see.

Actual Karen And The Pool
Such a minor impact on your life, while there were millions of people—-the luckiest of them on respirators in hospitals around the world—-who would end up dying of that virus.
I wonder if any of those folks doubled down on their righteous indignation by grouping and offering to volunteer their services to help reopen this "essential" swimming pool?
here's an idea, Karen: take something that you buy every day, like maybe a cup at starbucks or a new gun or whatever it is you buy, and then take that money to buy yourself your own damn pool.
She almost drew the line . . . how? And what's on the other side?
took me ages to feel comfortable swimming again. yes, I know there's Chlorine, but water goes in and out of peoples mouths and noses. we were further put off by the fact the first time we felt ready to go back into the pool, there was someone that kept swimming underwater, and would come up and basically hack the water out of their nose and mouth. it would have been disgusting even without a pandemic
How Dare You Not Make Me Food 1 Min. Before Close?
Oh somebody needs to get this dumbass a job in a restaurant. They'll soon change their mind
So, I kinda agree with this. I don't want workers to have to stay late, but I also hate the guessing game of 'when does this location stop serving item x?' What if restaurant owners started posting when the kitchen closed, and had it early enough that workers could complete the end of day tasks and still leave on time?
That's how it's done in most establishments I know in Germany. Orders close at the time x. You can still stay and finish your food but not order more. Usually 30 Minutes later the restaurant closes. When I myself was still working in a kitchen, we had another 30 minutes to finish cleaning and then could go home
Load More Replies...i used to work in a sports bar which was open until 1am, but the kitchen itself closed at 11pm to allow the kitchen staff time to clean everything (i.e. all dishes and utensils for the day, wash the counter tops, pots, pans, sometimes the oven/fans, the grill, put lids on the cambros, throw out the bad stuff that won't be good tomorrow, put all dishes away, and make sure the dishwashing station is clean and everything is ready for the morning crew.... so yeah if they advertise they are open until X time doesn't mean the kitchen is open, just the doors.
Whatever tine they want to stop seating people or taking orders should really be listed on their hours. Just to avoid these scenarios.
Wow, if she is able to cook a full meal in one minute flat, I'd like to know her secret.
Where I live, some restaurants will put a closed sign when they close the kitchen. They will ask the guests that are present inside already if they are going to order anything else cause the kitchen will be closed in 10 mins. Then they go on with the cleaning and their closing up. People cannot enter in even if there are other diners inside. Even supermarkets & stores do this. Most guests already dining are also mindful and will leave as soon as possible.
The "I Dont Need A Mask In The Drive-Thru!" Karen
Weren't there rules about that though? Here in South Africa you could keep your mask off in your car if you were driving alone with the windows shut, but if you opened your window for any reason your mask had to be on.
Assuming this took place in the US, each state set (or didn't set) their own rules. Even then, enforcement varied widely. Even in NY where masking was taken very seriously, enforcement mainly happened via being called out by other customers.
Load More Replies...not gonna lie though, that is stupid. i don't remember having to wear a mask in my own car in a drive thru. the end of her rant was a little boomer'ish, but overall she's not wrong.
Working drive thru, getting exposed to hundreds of stangers per day. Why should they expose themselves and risk covid just for you? If you want their service follow their rules, very simple. Or go make your own food. Where I’m from you most definitely had to wear a mask in drive thru. You cant expect a service worker to risk their health or their family’s health because you cant wear a mask for 20 seconds.
Load More Replies...I kind of agree with the Karen on this one. Reaching your arm out a window to hand someone a cup as they sit in your car is not much in the way of exposure. When I do it it is usually me and them both have arms extended so a few feet of distance plus the outside air blowing by between us.
