The sun may be coming out this week, but the Karens of the world seem to be shining even brighter. 

This week, we have a plethora of Karens to dissect, analyze, and fear. The first is the spouse of someone serving in the military, who is demanding free stuff everywhere she goes. Then, we have a Karen who tried to make a customer service representative try on her sweaty earbuds. Next, we have a Danish Karen with the hair and everything who accused innocent tenants hanging around in their own apartment complex of wrongdoing. We also have the classic neighborhood Karen who threw a temper tantrum at a nine-year-old. Last but certainly not least, our final Karen of the week made a scene at a PetSmart because is there a better place for an outburst? I think not!

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. For more stories like this, check out this compilation of workplace pranks that fooled coworkers!

    Karen: I have these two pairs of connected headphones and one of them has static, but i don't know which one
    via u/Its-From-Japan

    Me: Ok, well you can troubleshoot that by listening to something and replacing each one and seeing which has the static

    From our little haven to the street is about 3 meters (9-10 feet), and from a distance we see this woman. Normal looking 50ish year old, but with the KAREN hair. She stops infront of us and just stares at us. After about 10-15 seconds i go "can we help you?". She points directly at me and snarls like a Weenerdog that knows its small but still wanna seem big. "Dont you know there are kids playing

    "FO OFF!!". She took the phone up to her ear and pretended to talk to a officer.... How do i know she was pretending? She had the phone upsidedown and with the display outwards... My friend calmly explained that to her and sat down, before asking her if she wanted a cop coffee...She left without a word.

    She said something about how I shouldn't be on others property as well, basically yelling at me, me being the kid who didn't like to yell, tried calmly telling her we had permission to be here but she just wouldn't listen

    with "ma'am if he wants to feed these FEEDER goldfish to his ducks there is nothing I can do about that. I finish ringing the guy out and she is just muttering to her friend how much of a horrible person that guy is.
