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?

Love To Hear That Convo With A Lawyer
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.
Twitter never granted anyone the freedom of speech. If you use their service, you agree to their rules. If you want true freedom of speech, go rant at a bus station.

That is beyond Karenism. That is a sub-human, bigoted, streaming pile of bloody, festering, maggot-ridden, pig shít who should probably go crawl back into whatever crap hole they crawled out of. Bigots make me angry
YOU HIDEOUS RACIST CREATURE! what tf is wrong with u, CANT YOU SEE ALL PEOPLE AS ONE??! THEY HAVE NO CHOICE TO BE BLACK NOR TO BE GAY OR LESBIAN! Rocks can't break a rock-heart right? But first, we'll need you racist creatures TO GET OUT OF AMERICA
It's not a choice to be gay but I agree with your message completely

"Nuh-uh-uh, now that's taking the meaning of 'immigrants' a little far, isn't it?" - probably every Karen ever. But you're so effing right, Susie, that would only be the consequential thing to ask for. Thing is, the old world doesn't want these people back I assume :D

I don't think her ancestors were mexican or black, and mostly not gay statistically. So that's not an inconsistency. [EDIT: Obviously her oldest ancestors were black, like all humans; but that implies accepting evolution and other science, which I doubt she does.]

I personally think only 12 hours suspension is way too less for such an outrageous tweed. What she said might be protected by the freedom of speech but there is no legal basis that could force Twitter to allow her on their platform.
I would have fixed her temporary suspension by making it a permanent suspension, but that's just me.

These people have all embraced the lie that racists will somehow have the power to physically remove everyone they don't want, and keep America for themselves. They have no idea how very badly that would end for them.
Because there'd be no permanent underclass do the menial work they expect others to do because they are not white? Asking for a friend.

All white Americans are ancestors of immigrants. How do they not understand that?! All that get out of my country s**t. Makes me sick.
Descendants, but yes! I guess she'd be okay with me staying, since I'm of European descent, but my great-grandparents were immigrants and my grandparents on my Dad's side didn't even speak English until they went to school. Meanwhile, the ancestors of most black people in the US came over 100s and 100s of years ago. And of course, the first nations are the only ones who should remain if we're kicking people out (except maybe the Dakota would like the Anishinaabe to go back east ;-)

That’s not her opinion, it’s the complete Republican Party platform and philosophy.
It must be exhausting to be afraid of literally everything and everyone all the time.
So true. I have an aunt like that and I can't imagine the stress. To put that much time and energy on something so petty is beyond me. Even if I wasn't against discrimination on a moral level, I've got so much better things to do and more things to worry about than who loves who and whether someone's skin is a different color than mine or if someone worships or doesn't worship the exact same way as me.

Honestly makes me sick to my stomach to think that there are still people out there in the world like this.
You’re lucky being stupid and racist doesn’t qualify you for a lifetime ban. It should!
I would have suspended you for life - but of course you profound ignorance will show up in other ways. You do realize that it was white people who brought the blacks here you uneducated TWIT!
SO what you're saying is you want tasteless food, no style , and no music got it!
Better call Saul! But I think Saul wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole either.
Trump got banned. Now, if POTUS can be banned, anyone can. Good luck having your lawyer fight Twitter.
that's too f*****g bad Karen, because I'm sure there is a whole bunch of gay black people out there that don't give a f**k about your opinion.
I have to get on my high horse here about how I'm a practicing attorney: Whether we interpret The Const. through framer's intent, or an 'evolving Constitution', the 1st Am. has never been interpreted to mean that private entities have to let you speak in/through THEIR OWN forums. And as Scalia ruled in Boy Scouts vs. Dale, 'The right to free association' (which is in The Const.), 'necessarily implies a right to freely dissociate from others.' Hence any privately owned website or social network is allowed to delete or de-monetize or 'bury' an account I created through their digital property. In turn, any citizen is also entirely w/ in their rights to freely dissociate if they do the same to users through a website they own. It's entirely different w/ US colleges, b/c they are govt. funded institutions (SCOTUS ruled in the '60s). Hence 'Get your hate speech off of this campus!' would be unconstitutional if that were a law.
Damn, ya greasy heifer. Most people don't want racist, bigoted arseheads like you around either bit here you are...
Who's "we"? Karens? A 12 hour suspension is nothing. I think hate speech should result in a complete social media ban across platforms. On the other hand, it sure is nice to know precisely who these people are. Twitter should suspend their account with a notice "@Karen was suspended for posting [hateful or violent speech]".
Hello, Madam? Please crawl under whatever rock you were hiding under and stay there until the end of time or until you die. Whichever comes first. Thanks.
She originally states that "We" don't want this or that. Then she states that she was suspended for "MY" opinion. Then, who is this "We"? Are you authorized to speak for others? Do you have it in writing and is it notarized? Freedom of speech has limits and it does not typically allow you to speak for others, only yourself. Maybe Twitter got you on a technicality? Oh, and in MY opinion, you're a sad, pathetic, hapless human being. I wish I could suspend you from this planet.

As a muslim, I am irate beyond eloquent vocabulary that exist inside the english language.
It specifically says, "*CONGRESS* shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Last I checked Twitter wasn't Congress.
Hate-speech laws were written specifically for Rossie. She follows all anachronistic traditions: cooks, does dishes, vacuums, laundry, grocery-shops, everything with kids~~& licks her husband whenever he feels low. This is the type of women who needs to get OUT [of U.S. & lifetime banned from Twitter]! [Does she wear bee-hiver suits (Bill Maher's name) too?] & read the Constitution: You can't prevent the freedom of assembly or speech [unless it causes a riot, libel/slander or extortion]~~EVER. Slavery was abolished in 1865 [13th Amendment]: try joining the 21st century, Rossie. We're all colored.
f**k you rossie. you are racist, homophobic, and an overall shitface. have fun in hell.
I have no words do describe this lady. They all seem to be understatements for how awful she is
I would have suspended her forever. SHE is the problem that she imposes on others.
The native Americans didn't want European invaders, and the black people didn't want to be shipped to America as slaves, but here we are...
Wow. 12 hours. You were unable to tweet your feelings or opinions for half a day. Big baby.
I don't think America wants you either love. Send her to remote desert island
Twitter has reconsidered your suspension. It's now 24 hours. Have a nice day.
You'd think if we had all these choices some people think, like black and gay and I assume all those other nuisance things like autism and cerebral palsy or hopefully big boobs and a butt you could bounce quarters off of, there would still be some of us who chose not to be born amongst the buffoons that chose to land in the very heart of bigotry, closed minds and Bible thumping hypocrites possible.
So, white people dragged africans to the American continent and now want them out?
We don't want this specific person in America. Or anywhere on Earth. Out.
Who is this "we"? Is it the Royal "we"? Because I certainly would take great offense to being grouped with this sorry excuse for a human.
"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
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."

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.

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.
