'You don't see me complain, do you?': Karen librarian complains about all of her co-workers during a team meeting, gets properly shut down

Librarians are known for "shhhushing" and reading. They love books and being non-confrontational. But that is just a stereotype! Librarians can be just as feisty as anyone. Sometimes they even have to use all that book wit to clap back at an annoying Karen. Sometimes even that annoying Karen can be the librarian. Just like this librarian who had to put a colleague in her place. This particular co-worker was totally a Karen. She loved to complain about every itty bitty little mistake anybody would make on the job. It was a never ending mouthful of criticism. 

 

One day she got up in the middle of a team meeting and decided to complain about everyone in front of everyone, like she was the boss (she wasn't). So one librarian had enough. She leaned in and let her have it with one simple zinger of a line. It shocked the Karen co-worker to her core and she immediately stopped complaining and sat down. It didn't silencing her forever, but it did for that meeting and what a glorious meeting it was!
