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.

"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

Yes, Karen. I'm Sure The Red Cross Will Accept Your Demands For “Pure” Blood
Obviously she's talking about Pure Bloods, Half Bloods, and Muggleborns!
Load More Replies...Harry Potter and those other half-bloods trying to pollute your lineage, the Karen-who-must-not-be-named.
Anti-vaxxers call themselves pure bloods, so this one isn't vaccinated and wants blood from other non-vaccinated people. They're afraid of shedding and other nonsense and think they'll be vaccinated too when they get blood from vaccinated people. They cray cray.
Thanks for the explanation, I really did not get what they meant by "pure".
Load More Replies...These are the people who would support muggle born and muggle killings in Harry Potter
Why would you want a transfusion in the first place? I am sure as a true Pure you have Jesus swimming in your bloodstream... Thoughts and prayers my dear...
What's is crazier than anything is that the vaccine does not affect your genetic makeup. It provides proteins for your body to build immunity against. When you actually get the virus, which is what happens to the unvaccinated people, the virus will rewrite genetic code. The vaccine doesn't do any of that, it's just inactive protein. Many of these crazy people are saying that the vaccinated people are no longer human and okay to murder, and don't want their blood transfused with them -- and are ignoring the fact that the ones being genetically modified are themselves.
Babe this isn’t the wizarding world. She sounds like a death eater tho
“Pure” what? The point is moot anyway, because the Red Cross doesn’t accept blood type Asshole.
i didn't know Harry Potter was real. Red Cross really should keep track of the mud-bloods and half-bloods.
person got a little too into harry potter. probably sides with the death eaters
Since when did this turn into a freaking Harry Potter book !? ( the movie is never good enough)
You can remember Charles Drew, an African-American invented blood transfusion and then stfu.
I promise that when you need and receive the life-saving gift of blood, you don't really care where it came from. Well..those of us who really appreciate it, that is.
I actually asked that of racists. if they go to the hospital if they're going to ask for white blood it's f****** ridiculous
See, when we say that anti-vaxxers are Nazis and white supremacists, this is why. Notions of "pure blood" is what makes them Nazis.
When you're dying you won't care if the blood came from a Mexican, black, Chinese, Muslim, or a person from LGBT, community. If you do die pure.
What? What the holy f**k does she mean by "Pure"? With a capital P! Sounds like some Nazi s**t!
Whait - an antivaxxers wants the use of modern medicine?? Why? Just sniff soem essential oils and youÄll be fine. now, get out of that hospital, other people need that bed, more urgently.
If I ever need a transfusion, I would want some fully vaccinated blood rather than run the risk of getting infected with stupidity.
Pure and Not blood? WTF? So lemme guess, this means white Christian blood, preferably unvaccinated and no tattoos?
I need blood all the time - I don't know if pure means no vaccination or fully vaccinated or only white blood? In any case I would purely like to slap the stupid snot out of you!
Reminds me of a MASH episode when I was a kid. A soldier didn't want blood from black people, so they slowly started painting his skin darker while he was asleep. Later they explained how the guy who created the process for storing blood (and thus saving the soldier's life) was created by a black man (Dr. Charles R. Drew) who was allowed to die outside a whites only hospital. Dr. Drew needed a blood transfusion to survive.
She's racist and obviously inbred considering she thinks she's a "pure" blood 😂👌
We are not living in the world of Harry Potter, we’re all a bunch of muggles. 😂
Yes they do...... just the same as they label blood from different religions and races to avoid problems.... :)
Pure what? Pure idiot? I don't know that the Red Cross does IQ testing of donors, and it may be illegal to take blood from someone who does not have the mental capacity to give informed consent, so Karen may be out of luck.
Nope. They will realize your not worth s**t and just let you die.
I'm sorry?? Pure and Not?? The f**k? Is this some new lingo antivaxers are trying to get into circulation?
Please don't give them ideas.... they come up with enough of this nonsense on their own..
Why not make the switch to True Blood, then you can serve yourself!🧛♀️
I believe Pure means un-vaxxed, and apparently she doesn't realize that if you need a transfusion you are already at death's door
Load More Replies...She should think herself lucky there are people like me (Blood donor x 82) that give of their blood and time freely just in case someone else needs it.
I'm pretty sure pure-bloods have a spell for that, anyway. I think it's SANGUINUS REFILLUS. Try that next time you're bleeding to death - it should work fine.
A proper Pure probably wouldn't want a blood transfusion at all, sooo ...

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.
