Greatest “Karen” Hits: 50+ Absurd Displays of Entitlement That’ll Leave You Speechless
Murals for the Price of Reviews
Someone’s looking for artists to paint murals and street art over existing graffiti, offering only reviews as payment. When has exposure ever paid the bills?! Expecting professional artists to work for free is a bit much.
The least they could have done is offer fair compensation. If the budget is tight they could consider a community project with proper funding or crowdfunding. Artists deserve to be paid for their time and creativity. Also, if their work is respected, they’ll be more willing to create something amazing.
Confusion Over Console Compatibility Issues
Karen left a one-star review for her new Nintendo board, ranting that it wouldn’t read the disc it came with. After contacting Nintendo, she discovered the issue: she didn’t own a Wii U. Classic Karen! Instead of realizing her mistake, she accused the company of sabotaging the disc to prevent it from working with her console.
Perhaps she should have read the product details before making wild claims. Mixing up consoles isn’t Nintendo’s fault. Admitting her mistake and learning from it would have been the best move.
Late Breakfast Blues
Karen left a one-star review after a restaurant refused to serve her breakfast at 10:20am, calling it horrible customer service and vowing never to return. The owner responded, noting their clearly displayed policy that breakfast stops at 10 am. Classic Karen, missing the signs!
Expecting special treatment outside the stated hours is a bit much. Policies exist for a reason, and it’s always advisable to respect them is key. We also can’t blame the restaurant because she missed the cutoff.
Karen Tries to Return a Day-Old Slice
One woman tried to return a slice of pizza from the night before, complaining it didn’t have enough sauce. Pizza places can’t control individual sauce preferences, especially after it’s been devoured. Besides, bringing back day-old food is just plain weird.
A little more sauce is not a good reason for a return. Next time, she should mention her preference when ordering. This Karen’s quest for a saucy refund is a bit too extra. She should have let it go and just enjoyed the pizza—sauce or no sauce!
Is Yelp the Social Media for Karens?
This post humorously claims that Yelp is just a social media platform for Karens. They have a point because Karens flock to Yelp to leave exaggerated, often nitpicky reviews, turning minor inconveniences into one-star disasters. It’s their favorite place to vent!
Instead of constructive feedback, it’s a stage for their dramatic tales of unmet demands. While reviews help businesses improve, Karen’s over-the-top complaints often miss the mark. Constructive criticism is valuable, but constant negativity? That’s not helpful for anyone, especially when it’s just for show.
Maybe Reevaluate Your Own Life Choices?
Karen left a note warning whoever stole her bike to return it with a new lock and reevaluate their life choices. Wait until you find out she had locked her bike to a handicap pole, and city officials likely removed it to keep the area accessible for wheelchair users.
Instead of blaming an imagined thief, she should have considered where she parked. Blocking accessible spaces isn’t just thoughtless—it’s against the rules. Next time, Karen might want to park her bike responsibly and think twice before leaving accusatory notes.
Obstinate Man Has a Meltdown at Disney
A man was arrested at Disney Springs Resort in Florida after refusing a temperature screening, claiming he couldn’t be told to leave because he spent $15,000 on his vacation. Oh, dear! Spending big bucks doesn’t exempt anyone from the rules, even in the happiest place on Earth.
Health and safety protocols are there for a reason, and flaunting money doesn’t grant immunity. His dramatic protest only led to an early checkout, not the VIP treatment he expected. Next time, following simple guidelines could save a lot of hassle.
Smoothie Karma at Jamba Juice
Karen cut in line at Jamba Juice, thinking she’d get her smoothie faster. But karma had other plans! To pay her back, the clever worker congratulated the person she cut in front of, claiming they were the 18th customer of the day and awarding them a free drink.
Not only did she miss out on a freebie, but she also got a lesson in patience and fairness. Respecting others in line is basic etiquette, so, she should have just waited her turn.
Date Disaster Featuring a Tactless Karen
Karen complained that a man was heartless because she brought two friends along on their date, and he chose to pay for himself alone. Expecting someone to foot the bill for an unplanned party of four is the wildest idea ever.
A date is usually for two people, and springing extra guests without warning is plain rude. The man wasn’t heartless; he was setting reasonable boundaries. Next time, Karen might want to clarify expectations or stick to the original plan. It’s called a date, not a group outing.
A Meltdown Over Smashed Fruit
Karen, unimpressed by the speedy service at Aldi, angrily insisted she didn’t like her grapes smashed after experiencing that twice in a month. Nobody wants squished grapes, but yelling at the hardworking employees isn’t the answer. Aldi workers are trained to be fast, but a little patience can go a long way.
Instead of raising her voice, she could politely ask for gentler handling next time. Mistakes happen, but kindness can turn things around. Guess we could say patience is sweeter than any grape!
Hit and Run Reviewer
A person left a bad review for a business, grumbling about their chicken cheesesteak. The owner clapped back, revealing they had to call the police on this reviewer for hitting an employee’s car while driving under the influence and then fleeing the scene.
Plus, if the cheesesteak truly upset their stomach, why order it twice more? Maybe focus less on blaming the food and more on personal responsibility. Running from the law and repeating a meal you claim makes you sick? Not the best moves.
Milkshake Madness and a Glass Switcheroo
Karen complained that her milkshake didn’t taste good but declared it much better after the waiter simply poured it into a different glass. Sometimes, it’s all about the presentation, right? Her taste buds were apparently more influenced by the glass than the actual milkshake.
This situation highlights how our minds can play tricks on us, making us believe a change in appearance equals a change in taste. After all, the milkshake didn’t magically improve—it was just her attitude that needed a shake-up!
Karen’s Costly Car Rental Upgrade
Karen rented a car and found a flimsy excuse to return it before demanding an upgrade. She abruptly hung up on the rental company owner and signed the new contract without reading it or listening to the details. Fast forward a month, and Karen was furious about the $155-a-day charge, thinking it was still $45.
Ignoring the fine print and dismissing explanations doesn’t waive the fees. Due diligence could have saved her this pricey shock. Upgrading has its costs, and assuming otherwise was a costly mistake.
How to Waste Everyone’s Time
A Karen, who proudly never takes “no” for an answer, decided to waste the server’s and every other client’s time for an extra twenty minutes. She was so determined to get her way that she argued over a trivial issue, holding up the entire line.
Her persistence may be admirable in some contexts, but was just plain disruptive. Instead of respecting the server’s response and moving on, she chose to make a scene. More people need to pick their battles wisely and consider the impact of their actions on others.
Who Cuts the Line at a Santa Meet and Greet?
Karen arrived at a meet and greet with Santa, shoved her way to the front with her two kids, and cornered Santa, refusing to let him greet any other children until hers had been greeted first. Christmas spirit means sharing joy, not hogging it.
Karen missed the memo on holiday kindness, and her pushy behavior ruined the experience for other families waiting patiently. Santa’s magic is for everyone, not just those who muscle their way to the front. Imagine how embarrassed the children must have felt!
Karen Wages War on Polite Employee
Karen demanded that a business owner report their employee because he wished her a nice day in what she thought was a snarky tone. Only a Karen would complain about someone being polite.
Interpreting a simple, courteous farewell as snark says more about her mood than the employee’s tone. Maybe she was having an off day, but trying to get someone in trouble over a friendly remark is a bit much. Not everything needs to be a drama—sometimes, a nice day is just that!
Kid Asks for a Maid During Clean-up Time
A first grader refused to participate in clean-up time before asking for a maid. Isn’t this a young Karen-in-training?! It’s never too early to learn that everyone pitches in, no maids required. Her attitude might be cute now, but it’s a slippery slope to entitled behavior.
Clean-up time teaches responsibility and teamwork. The teacher must be a saint to deal with such a tiny diva. We only hope this little Karen learns to roll up her sleeves and join her classmates.
Karen and Ken Take over the Airport
At the airport, a couple hogged ten seats, blocking everyone else and forcing elderly folks to stand while they reclined after a nap. Their selfishness caused inconvenience and discomfort for others, especially those who needed the seats more.
Instead of spreading out like they own the place, they should have shared the space. Next time, a little consideration and sharing could make everyone’s wait more pleasant. Remember, Karen and Ken, those seats aren’t just for you—they’re for all weary travelers.
There’s No Justification for Line-Cutting
Karen cut in front of someone at a buffet, claiming she had already waited in line earlier. Buffets don’t come with fast passes, and her excuse doesn’t hold water because everyone else was waiting, too.
Cutting in line disrupts the flow and irritates fellow diners. Being polite and respecting the line is basic etiquette. A buffet is about enjoying a variety of food, not a race to the front. So, patience and respect make the meal more enjoyable for everyone. Besides, the food’s not going anywhere, Karen!
Rules Don’t Apply to Americans
Karen blatantly ignored the no photography policy at a famous London art gallery. When her son pulled out his camera and a guard intervened, she yelled, “Oh, it’s okay, we’re American.” Guess she didn’t realize being American doesn’t grant immunity from rules, especially abroad.
Her dismissive attitude may have disrespected the gallery’s policy, but it also reflects poorly on her as a guest. Respecting local rules and customs is essential when traveling. Instead of entitlement, Karen should teach her son about following guidelines and appreciating art without a lens.
Who’s Really to Blame?
Karen called to complain she couldn’t use the Disney app. After being informed she didn’t own a smartphone, she chose to scream at the customer service agent, blaming them for ruining her vacation. Oh, Karen! Blaming others for your tech troubles? That’s a new level of audacity.
Expecting an app to work without the right device is like trying to drive a car without wheels. The customer service agent isn’t a magician—they can’t conjure a smartphone out of thin air.
Wash Your Own Mug
A guy in an office with a communal kitchen assumed another employee washing his mug was a cleaner. Speaking condescendingly, he asked where to leave his mug for washing. Making assumptions based on appearances? That’s a quick way to earn office enemies.
The “cleaner” was actually a fellow employee who didn’t appreciate the disrespect. Office kitchens are communal—everyone should clean up after themselves. We hope next time this Karen will think twice before making snap judgments and learn some humility.
Kid Demands Toy Swap
A boy confidently asked another child to hand over their toy, claiming he would use it more. Here’s another young Karen-in-training! The audacity! While kids need to learn the importance of sharing, trying to snatch another person’s toy based on usage predictions is a bit much.
Everyone deserves a turn, regardless of how much they’ll play with it. This kid needs a couple lessons on respecting others’ belongings. Instead of demanding the toy, he could have politely asked for a turn and waited patiently.
Too Busy to Care
One Karen was so absorbed in her phone at a café with her two daughters that she didn’t notice when one of them knocked over her drink or when the worker cleaned up the mess. No “sorry” or “thanks” from Karen. A little awareness would go a long way.
While screen time has its place, ignoring your surroundings—and the hard-working staff—isn’t cool. She should have also put some effort into looking up from her phone and engaging with her kids and the world around her.
Complaining About Free Concert Tickets
Karen received concert tickets with amazing seats for her birthday but complained to her friends that her cousin’s tickets, bought by her aunt, would definitely be better. A lack of gratitude is not a flex! Instead of appreciating the thoughtful gift, she compared and whined.
Her friends went out of their way to give her a special experience, and all she could do was sulk about imagined better seats. We all wish she had focused on the joy of the concert and the effort her friends made.
I Need to Share or Else
Karen believes she’s entitled to post people’s private info on her public Facebook, claiming it’s necessary to keep her friends from worrying. Guess she doesn’t know privacy is a right, not a suggestion. Sharing others’ personal details without consent is a big no-no, regardless of any reason.
Oversharing on social media isn’t the solution. Instead, it’s much better to respect others’ privacy and find less intrusive ways to update friends. After all, good communication doesn’t require broadcasting everyone’s business to the world.
Summer Job Quitter Asks for LinkedIn Endorsement
Male Karen got a summer job from his uncle at a building site, showed up for two days, called in sick for the next two, and quit on the fifth day. A month later, he dared to ask his uncle to endorse him on LinkedIn. Oh, Karen! Two days of work hardly makes you an expert.
How dare he expect a glowing endorsement after a half-hearted effort? That’s wishful thinking. Hard work and perseverance earn recommendations, not quick exits. Maybe next summer, he’ll aim for a stronger work ethic.
Karen Refuses to Press Elevator Button
Karen darted into the elevator at the last second and then crossed her arms, waiting for someone else to press the button for her floor. Elevators aren’t magic—buttons don’t press themselves. Expecting others to do such a simple task for you is the height of entitlement.
Next time, Karen should extend a finger and press the button herself. It’s quick, easy, and shows a little self-sufficiency. Elevators move us up and down, but common courtesy should always stay at the top.
Can’t Volunteer, Too Busy Showing Off
Karen couldn’t volunteer for her kid’s end-of-year school event, citing the stress of closing down her house and packing for the summer at her beach house. Oh, Karen! Stress from beach house prep isn’t exactly a hardship. While it’s okay to be busy, boasting about such “struggles” isn’t going to win much sympathy.
Next time, she could try a bit of humility and maybe offer help in smaller ways that fit her schedule. Being part of the community doesn’t always require big gestures—a little effort goes a long way.
This Is the Wrong Color!
Someone received a laptop in the wrong color and decided to sell it for peanuts before making their dad buy the one they wanted. Instead of appreciating the gift, they went for the aesthetic upgrade at Dad’s expense.
Next time, embrace the slightly off-color device and save the hassle and money. If it’s truly unbearable, maybe save up and buy the preferred color yourself. Appreciating what you have and understanding that function often trumps fashion. Plus, your dad’s wallet will thank you!
Demanding Double Birthday Gifts at Work
A Karen who shared a birthday with her husband registered for gifts and expected her co-workers to buy two gifts—one from each registry. Yet, no one at work even knew her husband! Oh, Karen! Expecting double the gifts for someone they’ve never met is a bit much.
While it’s sweet to celebrate together, imposing on colleagues for extra presents is over the top. Co-workers would be more likely to chip in when it feels reasonable and not like a double-duty demand.
Disneyland Is Boring
Someone wanted to hit the mall but got whisked away to Disneyland by their mom, only to declare it “boring.” Calling Disneyland boring has to be a first! The magic kingdom is a paradise for all ages, from thrilling rides and whimsical parades to endless snacks and enchanting characters.
Instead of sulking, they should dive into the fun and make the most of it. Malls will always be there, but a surprise trip to Disneyland is a golden ticket. Learn to embrace unexpected adventures!
Lawsuit Over Chores
This person wants to sue their parents for making them do chores, claiming it’s illegal under the 13th Amendment as free labor. The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, not household chores. Besides, helping out at home is part of growing up and learning responsibility, not a human rights violation.
Instead of plotting a lawsuit, they need to embrace the chores as a way to contribute to the family. Plus, doing chores might even earn them some extra allowance or brownie points. Think about the bigger picture.
Family Feud Over iPhone 11 Pro Max
Someone is fuming because their family gifted them an iPhone 11 Pro Max instead of the latest iPhone 12. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. The 11 Pro Max boasts a fantastic camera, long battery life, and powerful performance—still a top-tier device!
The iPhone 12 has some upgrades, like 5G and a new design, but the 11 Pro Max isn’t exactly outdated. Instead of sulking, Karen should appreciate the thoughtful gift and its amazing features. After all, it’s the thought that counts!
Birthday Gift Snob Wants Minimum $50 Only
this Karen is refusing birthday gifts unless they’re worth at least $50, otherwise, they don’t want them. Birthdays are about celebrating with loved ones, not setting price tags on their affection. Demanding pricey presents misses the whole point of giving.
Instead of making friends and family feel pressured, try appreciating whatever they offer with a thankful heart. A heartfelt card or a small token can mean just as much as an expensive gift. Gratitude goes a long way and makes every gift feel priceless!
No Gucci, More Drama
Someone is whining that their parents won’t put money on their card while all their friends flaunt photos of designer purchases. Oh, Karen! Comparing yourself to others is a fast track to unhappiness.
Your parents aren’t ATMs, and expecting them to fund a designer shopping spree is a bit much. Instead of sulking, appreciate what you have and find ways to earn your own money. Babysitting, tutoring, or a part-time job can help you save up for a few of those luxury items.
Get My Kid an Audi Rs 6
Someone declared their kid wanted an Audi RS 6 for his birthday and began asking for help to make their kid happy. We see the appeal. The Audi RS 6 is a luxury sports car with a powerful engine, a sleek design, and a hefty price tag. However, spoiling a child with such an extravagant gift sets unrealistic expectations.
Instead of crowd-funding a car, focus on teaching the value of earning rewards and appreciating simpler pleasures. Parenting isn’t about giving in to every whim—it’s about balance and teaching gratitude.
Stop Wasting My Inheritance
Someone complained about how their dad, recently diagnosed with cancer, is “wasting” their inheritance on a college education and a non-refundable cruise. Parents don’t owe their kids a nest egg; they owe themselves a fulfilling life. Education and making memories are priceless investments.
Instead of complaining, they ought to support their dad’s choices and cherish the time they have together. Here’s a reminder that a rich life isn’t measured in money left behind but in the love and experiences shared together.
Complaints About Beach Crowds
A mom drove 90 minutes to the beach only to complain about others doing the same. What’s that saying about the pot calling the kettle black? Everyone deserves a little sun and sand, not just her.
If the beach is too crowded for her liking, she could find a less busy time to visit or explore a quieter spot. Sharing the shoreline is part of the beach experience. Instead of grumbling about the crowds, embrace the community vibe and make the most of the day.
Murals for the Price of Reviews
Someone’s looking for artists to paint murals and street art over existing graffiti, offering only reviews as payment. When has exposure ever paid the bills?! Expecting professional artists to work for free is a bit much.
The least they could have done is offer fair compensation. If the budget is tight they could consider a community project with proper funding or crowdfunding. Artists deserve to be paid for their time and creativity. Also, if their work is respected, they’ll be more willing to create something amazing.
Karen Wants Assassin’s Creed for Free
Someone is demanding “Assassin’s Creed Rogue” for free because they can’t find it for the PS3 and think the PS4 price isn’t worth it. Oh, Karen! Video games aren’t freebies just because you don’t like the price. Developers and retailers deserve fair compensation for their work.
Rather than demanding a handout, look for sales, discounts, or secondhand options. Maybe trade in some old games or save up for the one you want. Remember, the gaming world doesn’t revolve around personal whims—supporting creators keeps the games coming!
A Bad Review Becomes a Marketing Win
One Karen left a scathing review about a coffee shop, calling it the worst coffee she had ever tasted. Instead of sulking, the shop cleverly put up a sign welcoming people to try the worst coffee one woman on TripAdvisor had in her life!
That’s one way to turn lemons into lemonade—or bad coffee into a marketing win! Karen probably expected her review to scare customers away, but it just made the place more popular. Sometimes, a dramatic reaction says more about the reviewer than the coffee.
Karen Demands the Owner Fire Herself
Our star demanded to see the manager, insisting that an employee be fired on the spot. Little did she know the person she’d been yelling at all along was the owner of the business. Talk about a plot twist!
The look on Karen’s face must have been priceless. Maybe she was upset over a tiny mistake, but asking to fire the owner is a bit much, don’t you think? It just goes to show how a little patience and perspective can save a lot of embarrassment.
A Decade-Long Oversight
This Karen, who claims to have been a loyal customer for years, gave a one-star review after being denied entry with her Chiweenie dog. She demanded they post their no-pet policy on their website and door—something that had already been done years ago.
Perhaps she missed those signs for a decade. Rules are rules, and sometimes, it’s just about reading the fine print. Karen’s overreaction highlights how a simple misunderstanding can escalate when emotions run high. Next time, maybe she’ll leave the pooch at home and spare everyone the drama.
Brush up on Your Dog Facts!
In a baffling display of Karen logic, one woman demanded a blind woman get off the bus with her guide dog. When Megan politely explained the dog was there to assist her, Karen called her a liar because “guide dogs are yellow Labradors,” and Megan’s dog was black! Talk about missing the point!
Guide dogs come in all colors and breeds, and Megan was rightfully on that bus. All Karens need to brush up on their facts before making a scene in public.
