Karens are like an angry dog; they're certainly the kind of angry beast that you want to have on your side. With that said, the power of a tenacious Karen can surprisingly be harnessed for good, provided you're not on the receiving end of their vicious bite. Introverts, the elderly, and those with similarly small voices might struggle to stand up for themselves sometimes, often accepting their fate of people-pleasing mentality at the detriment of themselves, but a hero-Karen like the woman in this next story would never let that kind of steamrolling happen.
Not in her neighborhood.
She was a rather new resident on the block. Built in the 50s, the neighborhood was stumbling into disarray, aging into a geriatrification mode that made most of the residents an easy target for predatory solicitors. Swayed by their ill-fitting suits, chipper smiles, and overt confidence, the elderly are often the target for many door-to-door conmen. Still, this woman wasn't about to let her neighbors get taken advantage of by a gaggle of salesmen, and after giving them an earful for knocking on her ‘No Solicitors’ sign, she decided to give them a runaround lesson on consent and privacy… Even if it took her all day.

The ‘No Solicitors’ sign should have been enough to disuade them, but door-to-door salesmen are known to be quite stubborn. However, they couldn't possibly be as stubborn or as passionate as this woman was about turning down a sale. Without skipping a beat, she became the neighborhood watchdog, ensuring her neighbors didn't have to deal with such snide, sneaky, and shady salesmanship.

Nice try, salesmen. This woman runs this block, and all of the elders on this street are under her watchful eye. Step foot on this turf again and you'll be forced to listen to another ranty lecture. "Checkmate," said this satisfied Karen.
