Hey there, people of the internet. We're all well too familiar with Karen's, selfish people, entitlement, and the everyday narcissist who hides behind beguiling smiles and charming eyes. To be honest, the world is veering towards a narcissist persona just by virtue of the internet and social media. Think about it - it's practically a website saying, "look at who I am." And no one wants to be seen as lesser, uncool, or even human in a way. We're all creating these online avatars and persons of whom we want to seem like, regardless of what's really going on. Even the posts that start with some all capitalized proclamation of "probably needed a hug and please pity me" is just another synthesized plea for beauty boasting or free compliments so someone can sleep comfortably one night. But, I digress.

Besides avatars and personas, we all know a Karen, or a narcissist. They make themselves known quite easily, though one is louder than the other. In the story below, we're dealing with at least a Karen, other symptoms are undiagnosed for now, but you can read the full story below for all the juicy details.

    AITA for telling my neighbor to stop using my assigned parking spot after she parked there every day for weeks and got mad when I called her out?

  • It's kind of funny that the protagonist didn't initially just call her landlord and ask if the neighbor is telling the truth. At the end of the day the situation should have just been dealt with by the landlord and not by the two tenants.
