If there's one thing most folks know how to do, it's clock a Karen from a mile away. The word 'Karen' is often misused. Certain individuals automatically think that when someone, especially a woman, stands her ground, that automatically means she's a Karen. This is not true. Speaking in terms of internet culture, a Karen is an entitled individual, canonically a woman, who creates large problems/arguments due to a minuscule or nonexistent problem. They also typically act in their own best interest, which often means that everyone else involved gets screwed over in some way. Morally, they are generally never in line with what most would consider "correct". The woman in this story is definitely not a Karen.

Her neighbors, who are known to be particularly rowdy individuals, have been using her driveway to turn around and back out of their parking spots. This generally wouldn't be an issue, but there are "8-10" individuals who live in the home, and each has their own motor vehicle. So, they take up most of the street and are constantly taking up space in her driveway. She finally asked them to stop, and in turn, got called the dreaded "K" word. What do you think?
