If you had to guess, how many Karens do you think you come across every day?

Fortunately, I don't see them often in the wild, but I know for a fact that they are around, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right time to make a fuss over some cutlery that wasn't as polished as she likes it, and demand to see a manager who's not even in the store most of the time.

If you work in customer service, you've likely seen Karens in their natural habitats regularly. They show up looking snobby, like they're better than everyone else; they demand everything be tailored to their standards because those are the only acceptable standards, and they throw a temper tantrum every time they can't get what they want. Of course, they will forget the meaning of 'manners' throughout the entire exchange, but yes, ma'am, we are the ones in the wrong here, and we are being disrespectful. Is it too obvious that I'm venting right now? I said I don't find Karens often, not that I NEVER do…

Seriously, I don't know who raised these people or what happened afterwards in their lives to get to the point of not caring at all how they talk to others or in which way they address humanity in general. Newsflash, ladies: just because you are older doesn't mean that automatically everyone has to bow to your wishes. Strikes me that their parents never did much parenting at all to teach them to be reasonable and respectful.

Okay, I seriously need a break from all my venting. Which is why I found this bunch of memes for you! If you've ever found yourself in the need to face a Karen in the wild, you'll definitely relate to this. And there's no better way to let your stress out than laughing!

This is exactly what I was talking about! Okay, Karens of the world, if you want your service to be perfect, go ahead and spend your money on a 5-star restaurant. They'll serve you perfectly there, but you have to pay for what it's worth.
It's almost hilarious: they intend to spend as little as possible by going out to eat at a fast-food chain, and then act like it's the end of the world when the kids (who are oftentimes working their first jobs) give them their refreshments without ice instead of with. The solution? Stop being cheap! And kids, consider this your official green light to be as annoying and disrespectful to the Karens, as they choose to be to you. Have a nice shift!
