Finally, we've done it. We've crafted the ultimate gallery of "Karen" memes for you in case you're feeling spiteful toward all the irritating middle-aged white moms in the world who talk to down to customer service workers.
Don't know what the hell we're talking about when we say "Karen"? Well first of all, have you been living under a rock for the past year? In all seriousness though, a "Karen" tends to be a middle-aged white mom who demands to speak with the manager at the smallest inconvenience. We all know her.

Most of us have had to work terrible customer service jobs at some point just to make ends meet. These jobs are too often underappreciated and can really humble you - whether you like it or not. You've got to deal with awful customers, terrible pay, and doing jobs you really don't want to do.
So here's to you, customer service workers! Just know that we appreciate all you do!
The next time you communicate with any sort of customer service representative, give them a big hug and tell them it's going to be okay.
