Heatwaves can make people crazy, but these Karens already were crazy to begin with…

Look, when it gets this hot outside, people can be a little rough around the edges. After all, the height of summer means walking down one street and somehow encountering at least eight different scents simultaneously. It means coming into work sweaty and gross. And it means a ton of social obligations, some of which inevitably involve the most annoying people. So let's all give each other a break before we all contort into the Karen versions of ourselves.

These entitled folks, unfortunately, could not help but stir up fusses. This week, we've got a ridiculous one-star restaurant review, a sweet mother and her Karen daughter, a classic impatient customer, and a Dollar General Karen who seemed physically incapable of minding her own business. Keep scrolling below for the full stories. For more, check out this list of anecdotes from folks who realized their significant others were dumb as rocks.

    5:43 ← A. 5 days ago NEW Noll 40%- Dine in Dinner | $20-30 First time trying ,my daughter and I decided to sit at the picnic tables to enjoy our meal. Within seconds we were battling tiny ants crawling on our food trays. Not enjoyable, seagulls were flying around aggressively which became so uncomfortable I got up to go get to go boxes leaving my daughter to protect our food but the seagulls scared her and she became overwhelmed and couldn't fight them off!! The filthy birds grabbed our ribs rig

    My daughter works at BBQ stand. It's in a coastal town. Outside eating only at picnic tables. This Karen was livid about the seagulls as if the restaurant can do much about them. They comped her ribs & even though they ate all of the food they felt they were entitled to a full refund. This review was posted within the hour. So much outrage over some birds! She complained about her daughter being overwhelmed with fighting them off when she's the one that walked away from her child because she jus

    Met my first Karen today. Karen First time posting here although I've been a longtime lurker on this sub. This happened about an hour ago so it's pretty recent. I work in a chain discount store in the northeast US and have only been doing so for two weeks. I was ringing up a customer and finished, turning to the next person, where I see she's already put her items down on the counter. There's a receipt on it.

    Return item. I tell her that I cannot return items (only managers and supervisors can due to experience levels) and she told me "Uh, yes you are. I have been standing here in line forever."

    , it's 2:40 and I've been here since 9. Who's been standing longer. You wanna go?

    Anyway, I told her I couldn't and and she yelled to get the manager (obviously, classic Karen move ☺) and so I went to get my supervisor, who was at another till. She was so disrespectful to my supervisor too, saying "Oh, you're the manager? This is the worst [insert company name here] I've ever been in."
    via u/bdouble0w0
  • 08
    When my supervisor said she wasn't the manager Karen got more annoyed, saying she told me to page my manager. Which I couldn't do either! But my supervisor was able to return the item.

    Karen apologised (shock!) but it was my last customer of the day and really put a bad taste in my mouth. Karens.

    Poor mom has a Karen daughter. First post here. Short story. Many years ago, while riding the subway, a lady in her 40-50s started demanding my seat.I gave it up when I realized she was with her mom, who was at least in her late 70s.

    When I stood up the daughter took the seat and left her mother standing. The old lady looked at me apologetically while the only thing I could think of was a string of

    Who's the bigger Karen? Karen I'm not gonna get into great detail to keep personal information out of it (Obviously). At school, there's a student and a teacher who aren't fond of one another. The teacher nags the student in certain ways like starting an argument over swearing in a private conversation with a friend. That causes an argument and the counselor comes in to take the student for a break. The student and teacher were still going back and fourth as the student was walking off.

    The teacher then said to go back to the minstitution and that caused the student to throw water on the teacher. The teacher then got mad at that and kind of became petty. Once, she purposely made the student upset by saying their name. The student was given a break in the halls and the teacher lets her take her break, then she decides to flip flop and wrote her up for walking out of the classroom. (This is a therapeutic school keep in mind.)

    Ran into Karen at Dollar General last month Ok, so I borrowed a response I read on here many months ago. I was two hours away from home in a small town that MIL lives in. The story.

    I went to Dollar General for zip ties. I was in the store less than 60 seconds. My dog jumped in with me and went. While I was in the store, the vehicle and air was on and I had rolled the 4 windows down half way. The temp was 76 outside at the time.
    via u/nonegivenblake

    When I came out of the store with my zip ties there was a woman standing in front of my car. I knew what was coming and thought "keep it together man".
    via u/nonegivenblake
  • 17
    She asked if it was my car. I guess I was in the mood for an altercation. I looked down the driver's side, looked down the passenger side, walked to rear of the vehicle, then returned to Karen - "yes mam it appears to be." She asked if it was my dog in the vehicle. I again looked at the vehicle as if I was trying to figure it out. After whistling and walking over and patting my dog, I returned - "yes mam that's my dog".
    via u/nonegivenblake
  • 18
    She went in to a tirade about how irresponsible I was and what a bad dog owner I am. I told her she was jumping into something she probably didn't want to be in - I advised her to move on. She said she was going to call the police. I said, please do.

    As nice as I could I then said - "mam you have injected yourself into my life for no reason. I would be glad if you needed help or there was something that was positive to come from it. I don't think there is. You think you have the answer to everything and want to force your way of life on mine. That's not for me Karen.
    via u/nonegivenblake

    She said "what did you call me?" I answered - a response I learned here - "I thought calling you Karen was better than telling you I thought you were a c■.'

    With her mouth open I got in my vehicle, rolled up the windows and drove off. It still feels good today.
