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
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

Dinosaurs are so antichristian. And they saw the shooting star when Jesus was born, but yet failed to recognize the symbolism.
I've lived in Tucson for just about 15 years and that dinosaur has been here the entire time.
I love that store! The inside was decked out as well! 😍

Wait. I thought all the “Earth is only 4000 years old” posters show Jesus WITH dinosaurs. Like they existed at the same time, and maybe he got rid of them by driving them to the edge of our flat earth until they all fell off into space—-and I’m neither a flat-Earther nor a holy roller. Man, doesn’t this Karen even know her own cults’ (yep, the plural possessive) bullshit stories?
Dinosaurs are a test and if you believe in God you should believe they don't exist. Everyone knows that because Jesus put it on his blog!

oh no its a dinosaur 911 its a dinosaur im gonna have a heart attack and die!
Wow. People just love to make c**p up out of thin air to complain about!
Wow! I remember eating at this place when I lived in Tucson 15 years ago. Crazy how time flies.
I live in Tucson, and I actually remember when they built that location. All the kids, myself included, thought it was the coolest thing. People also laugh about how it looks like the dino is gonna eat the stoplight.
sheeesh. it's called having a little fun that doesn't hurt anyone.
I bet 100 bucks that she doesn't even know where the word blasphemy came from. No, the dinosaur is not claiming to be God.
how is it they believe in something of which there is no proof either way but not in something with conclusive proof
What's -a -matter Dino's aren't allow in Tucson - if this is truly blasphemy - at night when no ones a round shoot the offending SOB! You are a stupid cow -that's an insult to all cows!
I haven't eaten there in 8 yrs but if I saw this I'd go there just to spite her
Well, you've seen it now, so DO IT. And maybe I'll see you there, cause I'm tempted as well.

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.

What has gone so wrong with the way these people were brought up to end up so stupid and so entitled? The disgusting audacity of it is shameful; I wish someone would give their parents a good slap for creating such inhuman creatures. Also I feel really sorry for those women actually named Karen and are not 'Karens'. Probably hightail it to deed poll there.

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.

John was the name of the first man credited with inventing the first flushing toilet. John Harington was born during the time in which Queen Elizabeth reigned. His mother was a member of the queen’s chamber. It's not even an American meme, and has been running since the 16th century.
