If that's the case, then you are a far more well-adjusted adult than I could ever be. That's because when I encounter Karens at work, in my neighborhood, in my family encounters, the interactions haunt me for what feels like an eternity.

Keep scrolling below for this week's top Karen stories. When you're done, here are some petty pet peeves.
