Everyone might be entitled to their opinion, but it takes a special person to want to enforce their opinion on everyone around them. Obviously, there are certain environments in which an authority figure in the room is given that privilege, such as a boss or the manager of a store, etc. However, the Karens and Kevins of the world seem to think that it doesn't matter where they are, who they're with, and what they're doing. They are always right, which means that you are always wrong.

This week's collection of the top Karen stories includes folks from social media community groups, a biker Karen, Karens who care way too much about capitalization, Karens with shoplifting problems, and Karens who believe their dogs should be able to swim in the community pool. Keep scrolling below for the full stories. For more content like this, check out this post about a flight attendant's payback after some entitled passengers were giving her a hard time.

    Font - Meltdown in bike lane Karen Karen's kid was taking up the middle of busy, city bike lane, not moving at all. I passed him (carefully, of course!). At the next red light Karen decided (for reasons?) to pick a fight with me about why I dared pass her kid on a public bike lane? I began to engage but then thought better of it (because Karen) and decided to ignore her as I gathered it wasn't being asked in good faith.

    Font - Ignoring Karen enraged her all the more. She began yelling at me and calling me an Like right in front of her 5 year old kid. You're a C of a role model, Karen, just randomly yelling profanity at strangers on the street over incredibly petty affronts. If this interaction seems unbelievably bizarre to you, believe me it was to me in the moment as well.

    Font - dirtyhairymess 1 day ago They're sort of right. Many teachers are against children learning capital letters first because writing in all caps or random capital letters in words becomes a harder habit to break as children go through school.

    Font - Shoplifter Karen Was Caught, Tried To Get Me Fired A Week Later. OC The details of this story are blurred, as this happened exactly a week ago. I made Karen (customer at the time) two steak and cheeses, one with american cheese and one with provolone cheese. I accidentally put american on the provolone steak and cheese, but quickly took it off and replaced the cheese as it hadn't melted yet. I hand her the completed steak and cheeses and wish her "Have a fantastic rest of your day Ma'am!"

    Font - Cut to a few hours later, my store manager talks to my coworker who's in charge at the time and is holding a paper and hands him two subs. I get curious and ask him what the subs are, and it turns out they are steak and cheeses. I then see that the paper is a photo of Karen. She placed them in her bag and tried to walk out the door, but was caught by the store manager.

    Font - Cut to today, I get talked to by my department manager and I get handed a customer complaint. I noticed that on the complaint that there was two steak and cheese subs listed, one american and one provolone. I told my department manager about the event and told her to ask Devon who put in the complaint. Long story short, it was Karen.

    Font - anotheritguy 16 hr. ago What do you have to do with the shop lifting? Did she think you told them about it? I'm curious what the actual complaint was.

    Font - 2d. ✪ I'm not one to complain but it seems absolutely outrageous to me that on one of the hottest days of the year the city's only outdoor pool is being staffed by lifeguards for a "dog swim" but kids are not allowed to swim.... I called and asked why the pouch plunge couldn't be postponed and the kids allowed to swim since the lifeguards are there and was told the dogs registered ahead of time and "were really looking forward to it". Absolutely ridiculous decision city of and 79 others 1

    Font - holtpj anyone that starts off saying, "I'm not one to complain." Be assured they are, in fact, the one to complain. I bet she says "no offense" right before saying some crazy offensive 1.3k Reply Share

    Font - Puzzleheaded Home5620 OP For context, The pool had this event planned for months and charged a registration fee. The pool was closed for the season the following day, which is why the event was planned for the last day before officially closing. There were 5 indoor pools open for public swim and 2 splash pads they could have gone to instead. 1.2k Reply Share
