Have you ever had an encounter with a "karen" ?

Idk if this is a fantasy story or what. But be careful who you call a retard. If this man really exists he sounds like a dangerous individual you should not assume these types of people wont assault you if you insult them.

my ex "boss" at my volunteer job was a Karen, and her name was literally Karen. She used to get right in my face and you could smell her breath it was so gross. And once she punished me for coming into work with abdominal cramps that were debilitating, and I was trying to stack these shelves while doubled over in pain, and she was like yelling at me like "why are you not doing the work properly?" And I said I had a stomachache and she said "well then you should just go home if it's contagious" and obviously it was not contagious. And then she said, "it's a shame because there was a shirt I was going to give you but I'm not going to now." And then I had a crying meltdown and my dad had to come and pick me up. She was a bitch and I quit after that. I don't even know why I bothered doing it in the first place. I never got paid or even rewarded with free stuff.

Oh I worked in fast food for a short while and I had my fair share of Karen encounters there.
I worked with one woman who was sort of a manager and who kept demanding I do things her way when her way sucked and resulted in constant customer complaints, since it caused the food to get cold... I kept telling her i'd rather do it my way because it's more effective which made her pissed. She then started complaining about me not having communication with her even though it was not necessary. I was very busy putting orders together and keeping the customers happy and I didn't need to communicate anything to her in order to keep things running smoothly. Eventually she took me aside and complained about me working too slow, which mostly seemed like her being petty that my way of doing things worked more effectively than hers. She was a total Karen.
Not to mention all the customers... One guy got the wrong burger once and demanded I get the manager lol then he literally started YELLING at the top of his lungs "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!" just yelling that and a bunch of bs in the managers face. Lots of customers like that. Many demanded a whole new burger because theirs had a thin slice of tomato or onion on it, like it's hard to remove it and eat the damn burger... So much waste. Wouldn't even be able to count how many perfectly good burgers got tossed each shift because people want to whine. You could tell that usually they wanted to make a scene and be dramatic about small mistakes just for the sake of being dramatic and argue with a manager.

I was behind a lady at Shoe Sensation the other day. She was losing her shit at the poor girl working the counter. Apparently, a pair of shoes was marked down but the sale had ended. They just hadn't removed the sale price yet. I get why she was annoyed but she got kind of irate with the girl. She couldn't adjust the price so finally Karen left in a huff.

Oh yes.

But she shouldn’t have stumbled upon me in midst of my affairs.

Yes, I have. Everything that transpired eventually led to an end that no one would have seen coming: Her giving a blowjob to the man she initially harassed.

I have a friend with the name Karen and she co-incidentally acted like one when getting angry over a food order.

Who hasn't had to deal with a Karen in their life... and the older you get the more of them you meet.

When I was about 16 I was working at Dairy Queen. One night while we had a line back to the door and a lobby full of customers a man in his 30s or 40s came in with his wife and kids and had to wait about twenty minutes for his order because of how backed up we were. By the time he got his food he asked to get it to-go instead, so we put lids on his blizzards, but since on of them was a mini, we had to put a drink lid on it. He got mad and told us to use a "small dome lid", and when I told him we dont have those he walked behind the counter, grabbed a dome lid to try to put it on, and threw it when he realized it wouldn't fit.

He continued to start cursing me out until my co worker came over and said "hey you don't have to be so rude", which only made him more pissed off, and he kept this up until the manager stepped in and kicked him out.

If this is real, this would probably be the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.

"I'm an alpha male". Wtf? Lmao.
