35 Times Men Were So Hilariously Out Of Touch, They Earned The Title Of “Male Karen”
Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s never worth it to waste energy being angry about things that don’t matter, and nobody wants to spend time around someone who’s constantly upset. While most of us don’t have a problem controlling our frustration, there are some men on the internet who should probably learn how to cool off before deciding to post online…
Below, you’ll find screenshots of posts that Bored Panda has compiled that were originally shared by very frustrated men. But most of the things they were upset about shouldn’t have been big deals at all. Enjoy scrolling through these hilarious posts from the male equivalents of Karens (Kevins?), and be sure to upvote the ones you can’t believe aren’t satire!

Male Karen Feels So Persecuted
Everyone knows how it feels to get angry. It could be caused by finding out that a loved one lied to you for years or realizing that your savings have been drained by a stranger who stole your identity. Anger is certainly justified in some situations, and it’s not inherently a bad thing, despite how terrible the emotion might make you feel.
Jade Wu, PhD, explains for Psychology Today that anger is an emotion, not a behavior. So there’s nothing wrong with feeling it. In fact, we literally cannot help it. Dr. Wu notes that it’s a valid and useful emotion, and suppressing it is never healthy. It might motivate you to do an even better job at work or force you to reflect and find out what’s truly bothering you. But just because you feel angry doesn’t mean you’re allowed to act in aggressive or violent ways.

I'd majorly complain about that too.... it's "With whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?" :)
Like any other emotion, anger can manifest itself physically. Better Health explains that it can even cause health problems, such as headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, depression, high blood pressure, skin problems like eczema, heart attacks and even strokes.
But finding healthy ways to express your anger can be great for your physical and mental health, and may even improve your social life. Getting your anger out might allow you to rest easy and sleep peacefully at night. Plus, you’ll probably feel happier, and your loved ones will likely be more interested in spending time around you if you’re exuding positivity.

However, it’s possible to let your anger run a little too wild. If you’re posting on Facebook that you’re furious about your friends not wishing you a happy birthday, you might have a problem.
When it comes to the signs of anger issues, Priory Group notes on their site that red flags include hurting others verbally or physically, getting upset over small or petty things, getting mad about the same things regularly, breaking objects out of anger, getting mad after drinking and experiencing physical symptoms like headaches, heart palpitations, sweating and anxiety.

As far as what causes anger issues, they might stem from being threatened or treated unfairly, being publicly humiliated, struggling with financial issues or stress at work, negative past experiences, trauma, bereavement and grief or other mental health conditions. But no matter where the frustration is coming from, it’s important to recognize when it starts spiraling out of control.

Male Karen Wonders If Screaming At A Cashier For Just Doing Her Job Makes Him An A**hole
Healthline notes that there are also a few different types of anger issues: outward, inward and passive. Outward is the most obvious kind, which usually manifests in shouting, cursing, throwing or breaking things, or being aggressive towards others. Inward, on the other hand, is when someone is extremely angry at themself.
This might cause them to engage in negative self-talk, s*******m or deny themself things that bring them joy. And finally, passive anger issues are at play when someone expresses their anger in subtle or indirect ways. This might involve the silent treatment, sulking, being sarcastic or passive-aggressive and making snide comments.

So what’s the best method for managing anger issues? Well, the American Psychological Association recommends relaxation techniques. Breathing exercises, yoga, and repeating calming phrases may help some individuals slow down and cool off. It’s also a good idea to practice cognitive restructuring. Essentially, this is working on changing the way you think to remind yourself that every minor frustration or setback is not the end of the work.

Some People clearly are unable to differentiate between "I am right" and " I have behaved so badly others want to get rid of me fast by appeasing me". This behaviour is a direct result of the American "service mindset". In most european countries, this woud result in a lifetime ban instead of a "Have a nice day, sir".
Working on developing your problem solving skills might also help with anger management, the APA notes. If you don’t see challenges as frustrating roadblocks, and instead as simply problems that can be fixed, it might change your outlook on those situations. Learning how to better communicate with others can be a game changer as well. If you can express your frustrations, people might actually be able to help! And, of course, trying to find humor in upsetting situations is always helpful. Don’t be afraid to lighten the mood!

Male Karen Harassing Burger King Employees For Their English Accent And Making A Scene
He was so offended he didn't understand what she's saying and went on a rant saying he'll get them fired and asking for the Manager's boss's email. The employee have written the number for complaints but he wouldn't take it and kept saying they're the worst and he'll stay here so night and put this on social media (I'm beating him lol) and wanting them to get fired. I have another longer video. The situation ended because I couldn't just watch and told him to f**k off and he left. Sadly no one else helped.
Where is this Burger King? In Scotland? Wales? Ireland? Some other place still mad at the English?

Harassed By A Male Karen For Parking Along The Curb Across From His House
I had a rather fun interaction with a rather hostile Ann Arbor resident earlier today. I was in the Skydale/Larkspur neighborhood off Pontiac Trail (across from Arrowwood). In the middle of the neighborhood is a city park. Parking is allowed along the curb. I was parked along the curb next to the park, on purpose so that I wouldn't be parked right in front of anyone's house.
This wasn't good enough for a person in a house across the street. They came out of their house, and asked me why I was parked there. They then claimed I was parked in front of their house, and that I wasn't allowed to do that, and that I should leave. I told him that it was a public street, that I was parked next to the park, not his house, and I could be there if I wanted to. This was not good enough for the Karen, and he demanded I leave and that I was on his property. Words were exchanged. He started filming me, so I did the same. I threatened to call the police, he said he'd call them because I was harassing him and was parked illegally in front of his house. I finally left.
I'm not gonna show pics of him or his house as I don't want to start a witchhunt, but the guy was a paranoid a*****e. Looked to be middle aged, 30s-40s. The streets there are city streets and considering I was parked next to the park and not his house he had no jurisdiction to tell me to move. I hope I don't ever have to deal with him again.
Male Karen Getting Triggered By Milk Alternatives
farmer hating bigots where does he think the plants that make plant based milk come from
Sadly this stupid attitude in the UK (led by the Dairy Farmers) has lead to milk alternatives not being allowed to use the word "Milk", so you get "Soya Drink". While carefully ignoring the existence of Milkweed, Milk of Magnesia and others.
In the Netherlands too. Even when it's completely clear, like 'Vegetarian Chicken Nuggets'. Who thinks that VEGETARIAN chicken nuggets are meat? And some people are complaining so much about the term soy milk, and completely ignoring that the Dutch language has always had words like coconut milk.
Load More Replies...I mean he is right in the strictest sense, milk is a product of mammals, and plant based milk is just a marketing name. He still an idiot though lol
“plant based milk is just a marketing name”: Um, what? So coconut milk is “just a marketing name”? It should be called “coconut juice” so that stupid people don’t think it came from coconut mammaries?
Load More Replies...Milk is a surname in the US (like Harvey Milk), so just get married to someone with that last name and you're set!
Load More Replies...What do you have to say instead? Non-dairy plant based beverage?
Load More Replies...Well I see the point and in the EU they have devided that only milk from udders :-) is allowed to be called milk. Kind of like "champagne" is not just bubbly wine but very specific. I'm fine with that, it might help prevent false advertisement or even health issues.
I guess this guy never eats hamburgers or hot dogs, since that's not what they're made of.
1697 the first commercially available coconut milk, and the dairy farmers were just as pissy about it back then as they are now.
Load More Replies...What the hell does he think coconut milk is? Or the juice that comes out of milk thistle? They’ve gotta make him irrationally angry, too.
The whole "you can't call it soy milk because milk is only from animals" has nothing to do with misleading information. EVERYONE knows that soy milk is made from soy and doesn't come from cows. The dairy industry knows that plant-based milk and plant-based yoghurt/desserts are becoming serious competition for them, and they just want to stifle any competition, in any way they can, so they use the 'misleading information law' to make it more difficult for plant-based milks. That's all it is, powerful companies that wanna keep away the competition.
Jelly beans don't grow on plants, and chocolate eggs don't come out of chickens, but something tells me that he is OK with them
Look, I'm not a fan of calling plant-based beverages milk either, but there are so many other issues that need to be focused on. When we get universal health care, housing for all, equitable salaries, and better schools, then I'll complain about the term milk being used.
I propose that non mammal "milk" products (except soy because that's a bean) be marketed as Nut Juice because that's what it is.
When you've watched a documentary on the dairy cow industry, it's handy that you can go plant-based. I'm not saying that all dairy farmers are animal abusers, btw
It's always been called coconut milk, soy milk, etc. Why so pedantic ?
I can document the term "almond milk" (with various creative spellings) to the 13th century just by pulling down a certain medieval cookbook from my shelf.
cows eat plants... we eat plants & cows... hello.... hahaha - what an id10t
Some of the plant based milk does not have the same nutrients as animal milk but don't get in a tizzy about it. There may actually be vegan equivalents that have the same nutritional value. Soy is closest and some are fortified with calcium. Therefore, one can be vegan and have an equivalent milk.
Oh no! I just saw someone lining the soybeans up, and milking those tiny little udders!!
Whilst I agree that milk does come from mammaries, other pseudo milks are available.
The people who never fail to claim that "plants have feelings", now, have doubts that plants have udders. I'm pretty sure they have about the same level of each, but ... I have, too, not checked if there isn't some sort of udders on a soy plant. I haven't chacked if a VW beetle is made out of chitin, as I'm pretty sure they're mostly made of sheet steel, and there never were any complaints about calling it so ... but, VW called them "Typ Eins" or "1303", based on model year, displacement of the engine and such, ... oh my, anyway, this dude is as dumb as a brick that has udders.
Load More Replies...The act of milking though..extracting liquid. Wouldn't that make the end product a so called milk? Language is fun.
Load More Replies...Erm as I’m eating cereal with OAT MILK lmao nope not vegan or veggie I just can’t drink dairy which for a farm born n bred 60 yr old is funny lol it I can’t n oat milk is lush but we farmers also grow oats to lmao !

Thanks! My husband and I were howling at these. Men like this are usually worse than women because they will often try to punch you when they are angry.
If there are both "Karens" and "male Karens", could it be that this behavior isn't actually gender-specific?
To the rest of the world, I apologize for the acts of my people. Too much orange cool-aid.
I thought we all agreed to call them Kevins. I'm still going to call them Kevins.
I thought they were called Chad? Kevins are Terry Pratchett fans and we can’t be doing with that behaviour!

extremely one-sided presentation and imposition of the point of view of Adelaide Ross, especially on issues such as: - the situation in an Eastern European country at war, for which it is notorious that the political and military elite abuses donations on a billion-dollar scale, - the unwillingness of white Christians to be ashamed of their gender, origin and morality, - the unwillingness of people to inject themselves with experimental fluids, forcibly imposed in violation of all medical norms for decades, - the unwillingness of people to put muzzles (masks) on their faces, for which it has been proven that their effectiveness in this particular case is like a metal fence mesh against mosquitoes.
Inadequate in my book. What is wrong with these people? Gift them with Viagra.
I'm not really up for the Karen outrage machine. I also feel that the "male Karen" title only proves how sexist it is. If there were a male equivalent for the Karen term there would be no need to call these men "male Karens". As if the default person for complaining about trivial things is female. Oh, and it seems that the appetite for Karen videos far exceeds the amount of genuine Karen interactions. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/fake-karen-viral-videos-tiktok-instagram-1234814549/
