Just a word of note here: This colorful tale is told in such a manner and with enough allusions, exposition, and allegory that Hemmingway himself would have trouble making heads or tails of it. It's the literary equivalent of eating an entire jar of peanut butter with a spoon and the phrase “Mozart's requiem on the meatflute.” is a phrase that will be burned into my brain forever.

This incredibly rude Karen tangled with a customer service manager who had the authority to terminate her and her husband's lease. When she lost her mind, they lost their lease and their business instead.

Almost universally, we have a tendency to trust the narrative of the narrator when it comes to stories we see online. We seldom stop to pause and take a look at the other perspectives that the context offers us: When you're reading a story your favorite influencer or personality is telling about some aggressive Karen they met at a festival, do you ever stop to think, "Why did that complete stranger take offense to them?" Sure there are some wildly unhinged persons in this world who have the ten…

Sex Education is one of those topics that some people have a challenging time breaching with their kids. My parents were never the kind of people to try to tell me some hogwash about a stork and a baby; They were not in the business of baloney. I don't remember the exact moment when I realized what sex was because it was more of a gradual conversation throughout many years and, therefore, not so shocking to me. The one thing I do remember about our most memorable birds and the bees talk is that…

“Most little girls choose princess, or barbie… Here's what my daughter chose.”

Nobody's safe anymore, they're out in the wild and they're coming to get us.

English entertainer James Corden is an easy target. His entire presence, to some, can only be defined as “cringe.” The singing, the bumbling about, the Top 40 squeals and that godawful ‘ Carpool Karaoke, ’ in which he seems to want to make everything about him. His presence, to us, is grating, but we've never heard of him committing some sort of moral or ethical crime against humanity. Until now. Thanks to restaurateur Keith McNally, who owns NYC institutions Balthazar, Pastis, and Minetta Tave…

Karens have been around long before we labeled them as Karens . Everyone can agree that something about an entitled, impatient, cruel, boomer white woman drives nearly everyone up a wall. I'd say the absolute worst thing about Karens is the self-centeredness they seem to all possess. They perceive everything around them that they don't like as an intentional slight directed at them specifically. How they can blow up angrily at the most banal offense is baffling. They will literally become enrag…

The hallmark trait of a Karen is entitlement. Most Karen's wants to control every person around them, even if they is making the most demanding and absurd request. Not only do they believe the world revolves around them, but they are going to ensure that everyone around them knows they think the world revolves around them and make it the public's problem. One of the worst breeds of Karen's are those who demand you inconvenience yourself for them and their spoiled rotten kids . They yell at rest…

There are a million ways someone can accidentally mess up their kid , and no one in their right mind is under the impression that parenting is easy in any way, but some things are just common sense. Making sure your kid has a healthy diet and is knowledgable about nutrition is good. Being a weird dictator about food and prohibiting your kid from enjoying a slice of cake on a special occasion? Not so good. When one redditor asked r/AmItheAsshole whether she was in the wrong for demanding “conseq…

Sometimes it seems like Karens are so determined to ruin some poor cashier's day that they're willing to ruin their own in the process. When an especially unreasonable Karen stormed into u/Available-Capital476 's workplace demanding that they override the 30%-off sale price on an item so that she could use her 20%-off coupon, OP maliciously complied. You should never miss an opportunity to teach a Karen a valuable lesson. Though, it seems like this particular Karen didn't learn a thing.

I find nothing more baffling than customers who insist on staying at a restaurant after it has closed. I have been mopping the floors of an eating establishment around families sitting at the table just talking and carrying on. It's people like these who make me grateful that I at least have the decency and social skills not to behave the way they do. One TikToker has dedicated his page to documenting frustrating situations like this. Dean Redmond posts videos divulging the juicy and frustratin…

A wise man once said "Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today." And while he's not completely wrong, the merging of two souls in holy matrimony - or the celebration that follows - is also very capable of tearing people apart. The r/WeddingShaming subreddit is absolutely filled with tacky , petty, and altogether shameful moments that have either ruined or tainted the sanctity of romantic unions. There are Mother-in-laws who insist on wearing a white dress to their son's wedding. Ther…

Not all disabilities are visible

Working in customer service is such a joy, isn't it? If you're not getting screamed at by customers one minute, you will be the next minute. It's one thing working at a store or a restaurant, but something about doing hospitality work brings out the worst in customers. It's their vacation, and if something goes wrong with it, boy howdy are they going to have a fit about it. TikToker James Mahoney caught one of these interactions in the act. A man verbally berated a motel concierge for his room…

Is it actually even possible for a Karen to be rehabilitated into an empathetic functioning adult?
