50 Entitled ‘Karens’ Who Thought They Deserved More Than Everybody Else But Got Shamed Instead
There’s nothing wrong with fighting for your own interests. However, there are limits to this: the moment you start putting yourself high up above everyone else, you run the risk of becoming truly entitled and alienating everyone—from those closest to you to anyone you meet.
We’ve collected examples of people acting like the biggest and most entitled jerks which they got shamed for on the r/facepalm subreddit. The internet has gotten into the habit of calling anyone who is acting extremely rude ‘Karen’ (if female) and ‘Kyle’ (if male). Scroll down for more entitlement than you’ve probably seen all year.
And if you’ve ever run into someone whose entitlement was off the chart, why not tell the story in the comment section at the bottom of the article?

Insecure people tend to hurt others and put them down in order to feel better about themselves. British psychotherapist Silva Neves explained to Bored Panda during a previous interview that some people who have an ‘I’m not enough’ mentality lash out at others until they gain confidence in themselves through self-compassion.
"Insecurity carries the message: 'I'm not enough', 'I'm not good enough,' or even 'I'm worthless.' These are painful beliefs to have about ourselves but many do have those underlying beliefs," the expert went into detail with Bored Panda.

Karen Is At It Again
"Insecurity can manifest either by making themselves invisible (If I'm not seen, nobody will notice my flaws), or the opposite, by what we call 'bragging': shouting at everybody about how wonderful they are. This is usually to try to persuade themselves that they are good enough,” he said.
"Another way to counter the 'I'm not enough' is by pushing others down, sabotaging other people's success, or attacking people as a way to feel powerful so that they can control their inner pain of 'I'm not enough'. All of these strategies don't work because what they do is either internalizing or externalizing the belief 'I'm not enough' rather than changing it," Silva explained.

How many times do we have to tell you? Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences.
"The key to becoming more secure is to change the underlying belief 'I'm not enough' to 'I'm enough.' The way to do it is with self-compassion."
The mentality that we’re not enough can become entrenched in our childhoods and become a part of who we are as adults. But as grownups, we also have the ability to change these beliefs.
Okay Karen
Guess Who
The Willful Ignorance Is Too Damn High
"Perhaps parents didn't praise children enough, or they paid more attention to the mistakes rather than the successes. As an adult now, people can give themselves a hug once in a while and tell themselves, gently: 'you're doing good,' 'well done,' 'congratulations.' Eventually, the brain will listen and slowly change the message 'I'm not enough' to 'I'm enough,'" the expert said.
"Rather than shouting your praise at other people, it is about speaking to yourself in a loving way. When people are genuinely aware of their successes, they can become genuinely more confident without the need to impose their power onto others."

Had this happen years ago. Working in a restaurant in an amusement oark. Cashier runs outside yelling " call medical" on way out. Someone had fainted. Called medical, dtepped outside and asked the line behind her to move to the other eindow and that cashier would help them (one from each line to be fair) Next guy in line said " no way, i waited too long" and stepped over the eoman on the ground. Not a karen but jeez the lack of humanity

Karen Asks “How Dare They Sell Ice Cream?”
This is the worst way to practice religious intolerance. Nobody should expect others to actively participate in their religious practices.
Not to be a Grammar Karen but technically it's the *best* way to practice religious intolerance hehe. Agree completely though
Load More Replies...I also notice they sell ice cream during the entire month of Ramadan and stores even sell food during the time. So anti-Muslim.
But I mean, you can't compare that. Everyone knows that Muslims are The Bad Guys, whereas Catholics are godgiven and the whole world's salvation! And just because this is such a controversial sentence where I'm feeling like "/s" wouldn't suffice: this is sarcasm and NOT my real opinion. Just to make that clear.
Load More Replies...It's not just Ash Wednesday but every day. What about the lactose intolerant, and the vegans?! WILL NOBODY THINK OF THE VEGANS?!
Ice cream was Jesus’ one failure. John 2:1-12 - Jesus looked upon the wedding crowd. Raised his hands to God and said,” I have shown you the miracle of turning water into wine. Now check this s**t out! The dessert ice cream will NOT melt, even in this punishing desert heat!” The stunned onlookers, previously amazed at their water goblets overflowing with delicious wine were shocked to see the ice cream forming into goop and dripping down the sides of their bowls. “Hey! This is melting!” Shouted one angry wedding guest. Jesus looked hurt and shouted, “Father, why have you forsaken me!” A voice boomed over the land. “It’s ice cream. It melts in heat. I made the rules. I can’t just change everything because your magic act is failing. It’s a wedding! Quit stealing the thunder from the bride and read the room. Jesus.”
By her logic, only antisemites sell food on Yom Kippur.

Ahm - my dad is a very serious Catholic. Most commonly on Ash Wednesday you don't eat meat. "Fasting" in this context means eating one full meal a day or TWO small meals, that comes straight from my Catechism class. It says nothing about not having ice cream. This is why Catholics get a bad rap - most of us don't expect all restaurants to adhere to our religions. How disgusting.
Fast? On Ash Wednesday? I’ve been to Catholic schools for the last six years and never have heard of that.
Same here. Fasting on Ash Wednesday is new for me and I am Catholic, served in the church, most of my family is, also live in city, country that's majority Catholic and never once heard about fasting on ash Wednesday
Load More Replies...Well I commemorate the death of my favorite fictional character WITH ice cream, so get yourself bent.
Its your Ash Wednesday not the other thousands of people who aren't Catholic you want people to respect your religion but you don't give a s**t about someone other than yourself! Typical Catholic Karen!
Oh, my bad. Didn't realize that the other people who wanted to get ice cream didn't matter... Sorry for being a business
worked with a woman once that knew our boss was Jewish, but was appalled to learn that he didn't worship Jesus
No business cares that you choose to fast on Ash Wednesday. And they can advertise their products any day of the week, Karen. "I had the 'flu and was watching TV and they kept advertising Sonic and Burger King. Now should I sue the restaurants or TV station or both?" hahahaha
More of the best ice cream in Ohio for everyone else
You don't have to yell. They'd probably just go, 'oh that looks good, I'll get it after I'm done fasting' I can't I just.... I need to go join Garden (Spy x Fam reference)
Yes, bc the ENTIRE world is catholic and there are no other religions so obviously no one should sell food on Wednesday.
Fasting on Ash Wednesday means not eating 3 full meals. We ate a small amount in the morning and at noon, then meatless dinner. So ice cream at noon fits my definition. Of course there are way bigger issues in the Church, so nobody's going to he'll for eating ice cream any day during Lent
nah karen they just don't give a f**k what you think. just because one group cant have ice cream doesnt mean the whole world isnt allowed
This is the type of main character syndrome that happens a lot these days. People thinking something is directly targeted at them. Like yeah James Charles' fake pregnancy photos were awful and he's a terrible person, but it's a stretch to call it offensive to women struggling to get pregnant, which is what was a major criticism.
I'm sure they're heartbroken to lose you business. Organized religion has got to be one of the absolute worst ideas ever. I have yet to meet a tolerant & accepting "Christian". I had a friend (more a friend of a friend) who seemed really sweet, despite looking like a Duggar daughter. Nay, nay. She gave me a ride home once and preached at me the whole way about "accepting Jesus Christ". I was like, "Look -------, my relationship with God is just fine. Talked to him just last night & we're good. You do you, etc". WOULD NOT let it go. I was still almost a mile from home when I asked her to just pull the car over. I'd rather die of heat stroke than listen to that crap any longer.
Little wonder European nations have 1- or 2-digit number of people believing in religion. "There is no man in the sky."~~George Carlin. Religion has killed millions in wars & pissed off millions more by those demanding others bow to their 1D10T1C beliefs about food, liquor, clothes, headwear, beekeeper suits, &c. I'm w/Stephen Hawking: "Science is increasingly answering questions that used to be the province of religion."
My religion tells me what to do in my life=OK My religion tells you what to do in your life=F*CK OFF
iif i remeber right Ash wednesday also entails you to not be an ass
So does this mean that EVERY food brand has to prohibit their advertising?
Talk about losing the plot. You are supposed to be resisting temptation with spiritual fortitude not by removing said temptations physically or forcefully. This point is to be able to control oneself when there are no obstacles to something you shouldn't be doing. Like you know, not losing your minds when a sweet young thing walks by?
Umm, not everyone here is catholic, nor was catholicism the 1st religion in this country. I'll take the ice cream as a band aid for dealing with these idiots tho!!!
I am very anti catholic after what the pope said about dogs and cats. What an Asshole.
This is giving me Chocolat vibes, what a good film. We all know not everyone is Catholic, well I thought everyone knew that lol.
I think I’m beginning to see how this whole, “end of the world “, thing is going to happen.
When a French company advertised about their water bottles, it turned out to be on the first day of Ramadan... Different religion, different reactions. People are just virtue-signaling hypocrites.
I had a client SCREAM at me because we were not offering halal CHRISTmas hampers
just realized - according to my religious upbringing, the Lord's Prayer contains the line about "Forgive us our trespass, As we forgive those who trespass against us." So, every time she prays to God, she's lying. To God.
The next thing you know they'll be selling meat-flavored ice cream on Fridays to further sabotage centuries-old Catholicism.
Next thing she's asking for that all women shall wear hijabs - er - modest clothing.
I see it as win win for the store, they willingly refuse to go to the store. The great thing about is that they such an ego, they believe people actually wants them close for some reason. Never correct them, just fake sadness at the "punishment", so they feels great , at some point they are bound to isolate themselves.
I used to go around the fast food places on Ash Wednesday in Ireland in the 80s asking for burgers. They used to adhere to that Catholic crap and not sell meat. Ridiculous.

Load More Replies...Ikr. This use of a forename as an insult is really disturbing and leads to some very nasty shaming and bullying of people who don't deserve it in the slightest. It's racially bigoted, and people who use the term 'Karen' should have a good look at themselves and ask why they think it's okay.
Load More Replies...What has gone so wrong with the way these people were brought up to end up so stupid and so entitled?

Load More Replies...So last weekend I'm moving into my new rental home. It's kinda like a townhouse attached to other houses in a row. There are two parking spots for every house. My bf and I are taking up our two spaces to I tell my parents to park in the one next door since there is no one home (if they come home we can move, nbd, but there are 2 spaces). Well flash forward and next thing I know this woman shows up and demands my parents to move their car. At this point they are done anyway so I just send them home. The woman, who doesn't even live there but only dates the guy who lives there, goes on to say a bunch of crazy stuff like how we should watch out cause there are Karens in the neighborhood (ya don't say), and then randomly blurts out something about her 15 year old daughter and how we will see her sunbathing in the backyard...? Like why are you telling this to my 34 yo bf? and also it is currently winter in PA...? The kicker was her real name was Karen, and she was only running in for 5 mins). Usually I'm bad with names but doubt I'll forget hers.
Ummm, you know you only have two parking spaces. You also knew that you were taking someone else's and expecting them to ask you to move. Instead manage your own TWO spaces. Park one of yours on the street or somewhere else legal when you have guests instead of expecting other households to deal with you parking in their space.
