The internet loves to throw around the word “Karen” for anyone who acts in a particularly entitled way. This is perhaps not fair to the very many perfectly nice Karen’s out there. At the same time, there really is a sort of person who is so aggressively unpleasant that it’s still useful to have a word to quickly communicate who they are.
A man shared his harrowing experience with what he described as a “Karen” when he went to the store to buy a toy for his daughter and her friend. As it turned out, this woman was a reseller and decided that she had priority. When things didn’t go her way, she decided to escalate. Fortunately karma intervened.
