This week's crop of Karen stories ranges from the classic expected behavior of the entitled people of the world to unexpected levels of entitlement.

First, we have a parking saga involving a crazy-eyed Karen who couldn't be patient to wait to get out of the same parking lot as everyone else who was stuck there waiting. Then, we have a one-star review from a Karen customer who was caught exaggerating about her so-called horrendous experience. Finally, we've got a scheming male Karen in the family who was trying to cheat the Redditor's stepson out of his own well-deserved inheritance. 

We wish this level of entitlement could be unlearned, but the truth of the matter is that there is no point in trying to teach manners to a Karen. Once a Karen… always a Karen. Keep scrolling below for the full collection of stories. For more, check out this post about an entitled hotel guest who threw a tantrum about her breakfast.

    Karen wants out of the exact same parking lot that everyone else is waiting to get out of, and bangs on my window to tell me.

    I had a friend in from out of town and we decided to go to a major attraction in my city that I hadn't yet been to. Needless to say, with it being one of the last sunny Saturdays of Summer, the parking lot was packed.

    We find ourselves waiting behind a line of about 5 cars and there are a few other cars behind us in the parking lot. It's a one-way road.

    We're sitting there for about two minutes when suddenly the parked car next to us starts honking. Let me just add in really quick that if someone is clearly

    trying to get out of a parking spot, like inching forward, turning their lights on, etc, then I will always make room if I can (duh). I didn't see anything like that when we got in line. I didn't even notice anyone was in the car at all.

    We look over and Karen and Ken are in the front seat but seem to be making arm movements like, "Oops, we hit the horn". They're smiling and waving. Idk, so we just ignore it.

    Suddenly Karen gets out of the car and storms up in a fury and HARD KNOCKS on my driver's window. She's got the crazy eyes. I roll it down just enough to talk, because I was honestly bewildered. This woman says,

    "Can you guys just move! We're trying to get out of here!" Thinking that I might be talking to an alien who doesn't fully grasp the concept of time and space, I say something to the effect of, "We can't get through these cars any easier than you can, sorry."

    She goes on to say, "Be serious! You can squeeze through on the left and get past all these cars. Figure it out. You can do it. We believe in you."

    I said, "I'll do what I can." And rolled my window back up. Since I'm a people pleaser I actually did the whole "crane my neck" thing for a few seconds and saw that the cars were clearing out in front of us. Karen was out of my face for no more than 10 seconds before I saw her huffing up to my car again like angry Donald Duck.

    It was perfect timing. I was just able to move forward literally as her fist was raised to my window again. The look on her face as we drove past was hilarious.

    I see Karen in my rearview literally scrambling back to her car and she and Ken peel out (acting like they were fast when the car behind me was letting

    For all this drama, keep in mind that this all happened within about 4 minutes. All said and done, we found parking within 5 minutes of getting there, don't know what Karen's deal was but honestly her.

    Take out 03/16/2024 Hi the chef, I'm waiting for your response. Could you let me call the police and continue to discuss the below case at your restaurant? And then we can tell the people here who made a lie and who is wrong. Hi the chef, I put my response here, please read it.

    It's a horrible experience and never go there again. It was my first time to call this restaurant and made an order there at 7 pm last Friday. The female staff who answered my phone call told me I could pickup my order after 35 minutes. I arrived in the restaurant at 7:35 pm and this staff confirmed my order and said I needed to wait for a couple of minutes. The restaurant was not clean because no one cleaned the table after the customer ate and left. I was waiting there until all 5 customers co

    customer who arrived in later than me to pick up her order. I asked why they let me wait for over one hour even they told me I could pickup my order in 35 ~ 40 minutes. The chef said there were a lot of orders that day and the pickup time was just an estimate. I said I came on time and the staff told me clearly to wait for a couple of minutes after confirming my order. It was not a couple of minutes, I waited there for over 25 minutes even I arrived there after 35 minutes of making an order. I a

    Added my response: Hi the chef, I answer your response here. On Friday, I asked you several times to show the receipt that I ordered, you didn't show that. Please put my order receipt here if you want to let other people know you didn't make a lie. You didn't keep your promise to give the food on time

Please put my order receipt here if you want to let other people know you didn't make a lie. You didn't keep your promise to give the food on time and now you still made a lie here, that's the reason why other people also wrote the review here to complain about your pickup time issue. You are lying and don't try to improve your service, that'

    Yes, I didn't want to argue with you in the restaurant and thanks for other customer called the police. I explained to the police what happened and the another police who talked with you said you refused to serve me. I told the police that was not fair and you did wrong things. As I had a meeting at 8:30 pm, I had to leave and gave up on arguing with you at 8:10 pm. Could we meet at your restaurant again and call the police to continue to discuss this issue? Let's show who made a lie here throug

    What a woman who loves to lie. You said you ordered the meal at 7 o'clock, then do you dare to post the picture of the phone record of your call to us that day for everyone to see online? You called to order at 7:12. Our staff told you that it would take 30 to 45 minutes because it was a busy holiday, but you came at least 25 minutes early. You are the last customer during this time period, and there are 7-8 customers before you. But after you saw the customers who were behind you getting their

    And your husband who curses and is ready to someone. Why don't you also post on the Internet that he is preparing to k someone? It only took 45 minutes from the time you ordered your meal to the time you were taken away from the restaurant by the police. This also included the 10 minutes you argued with us. Here I would like to thank the customer who helped us call the police and provided the police with the video of what happened. All the customers cheered after the couple was taken away by the

    Male "Karen" trying to steal my stepson's inheritance This story takes a little background to understand, so bear with me...
    via AgentWD409

    I (41M) got married to my wife (40F) last summer. It's #2 for both of us. I have two boys, and she has one. We'll call him Adam. Before we got together, my wife was a single mom for about eight years. Her ex (Adam's bio-dad) was an emotionally abusive narcissist, a deadbeat, and an alcoholic. I'll call him Randy.
    via AgentWD409
  • 27
    I won't go into too much detail on the kind of father he was, but I'll just say this: My wife and I started dating about 2 1/2 years ago. During that time, I definitely went to more of my stepson's soccer games, choir concerts, school events, etc. than Randy did during Adam's entire life.
    via AgentWD409
  • 28
    Anyway, a few months ago, Randy spent an entire weekend getting fall-down drunk and then shot himself. His mom and brother flew in from Florida to claim the body and deal with the funeral and whatnot. Me, my wife, my wife's family, and even some of my own family attended the funeral (simply to support Adam).
    via AgentWD409
  • 29
    In fact, we made up the vast majority of the people in attendance. Remember, Randy and my wife had been divorced for over ten years at this point.
    via AgentWD409
  • 30
    After all that, I started contacting the Social Security Administration, the Texas AG's office, and the HR dept. at Randy's company to get everything straightened out on Adam's behalf. Randy didn't leave a will, but he had never gotten married again and had no other children, so Adam was his sole

    rightful heir. We did manage to claim survivor's benefits for Adam from the SSA, but we also found out that Randy had a life insurance policy and a 401K with his company -- however, the beneficiary listed was Randy's mom.
    via AgentWD409
  • 32
    NOTE: Once we learned about this, I updated my will and my life insurance policy to include Adam as well as my own sons. If his father won't do right by him, then will. I sure as

  • 33
    Randy's brother (we'll call him Derek), who had been handling everything on their end, never mentioned any of this to us. I don't think he knew we knew about it. But regardless, a few days ago, he starts texting my wife and asking her to sign some legal paperwork that would allow
    via AgentWD409
  • 34
    Derek and his mom to claim the rest of Randy's assets. It's not much, just a small amount of cash left in his bank account and two small, undeveloped lots of land (worth maybe $7,000 or $8,000 combined). Keep in mind, we're already in the final stages of filing an Heirship Affidavit to get those lots of land transferred into Adam's name.
    via AgentWD409
  • 35
    We obviously tell him no, that Adam is Randy's only son and rightful heir, and that Texas intestate succession law clearly states that any remaining assets go to him. Derek continues to harass and bully my wife, telling her that he's just trying to pay for the funeral expenses and get all of Randy's "accounts settled,"
    via AgentWD409
  • 36
    despite the fact that his mom already received the majority of his assets through the life insurance and 401K. Like... where did all that money go? the
    via AgentWD409
  • 37
    There's no way his tiny funeral and cremation cost more than that. I'm guessing their mom probably co-signed on some of Randy's debts (again, since he was a deadbeat) and now she and Derek are trying everything they can to avoid personal responsibility.
    via AgentWD409
  • 38
    Fortunately they live in Florida, they won't bother coming back here, and they have no legal recourse to actually do anything on their own. Still, them.
    via AgentWD409

    TL;DR - The brother of my stepson's deceased bio-dad is trying to bully and guilt-trip my wife into signing away my stepson's legal rights to the last meager bits of his inheritance.
