Fun With Karen

[Dan]

Moderator note:

Dan: None of this applies to the good Karens of Cyburbia.

Moderator note:

Maister: yes, what Dan said. This is all in good fun, hence the thread title.

No wonder Karen is so grumpy.



Even in a textbook, she gets a bob.

A sense of obligation compels us to complete that assignment.

3. She used to exercise patience and forbearance, but now asks to see the manager immediately.

Moderator note:

split from NUMTOTS. It's time we had a general let's make sport of the 'Karens' of the world thread.

 

[Wannaplan?]

She used to whore, smoke, and snort, but now she lives, laughs, loves.

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll.

 

[Faust_Motel]

However, Karen is now #Blessed.

 

[Maister]

On a side note, I've never really been drawn to emo girls, but in looking at this picture after I posted it, the emo Karen is, well, kinda hawt.

 

[Dan]

Didn't even have to Photoshop this.

 

[Dan]

This Karen hates pedestrians, for some reason. Maybe she thinks sidewalks are decorative or something.


I don't see curb cuts, so it's probably an alley city or town in the Great Lakes region or Midwest.

 

[Doohickie]

Karen's calendars. Get them now and avoid the rush.

This would be perfect fodder for Nextdoor

I've met people like that who believe they own the sidewalk and you should never walk on their sidewalk. Granted the lady was in Germany and everyone knew she was nuts, but at least she did sweep the sidewalk daily before us horrible kids walked on it to get to the bus stop.

Or you could get a Karen calendar.



(There's a growing ethnic Karen community in Buffalo.)

Or you could have a different pithy inspirational quote every month. 𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓪𝓼 𝓲𝓯 𝓷𝓸𝓫𝓸𝓭𝔂'𝓼 𝔀𝓪𝓽𝓬𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰!

Lady in the bottom right looks very uncomfortable. Like this creepy dude is forcing me to pretend to be his wife level uncomfortable.

 

[Veloise]

 

[Dan]

When it's time for Karen to head off to that four bedroom, three and a half bathroom center hall colonial on a cul-de-sac in a good school district in the sky. That, or bury one of her unvaccinated kids.

 

[Doohickie]

OMG that's tacky.

 

[Maister]

Gifts for the Karens in your life.

What can/should I do if my dept office manager is named Karen ?

Dutch Karen

 

[Dan]

So, I was just at HomeGoods Don't ask why.

Anyhow, the place was filled with Karen types. One thing they had in common - they were all rocking HUGE engagement rings. Normally, I don't notice rings, but there were so many big-ass rings that it was hard not to see.

 

[Maister]

Karens are 65.3% more likely to dye their hair than others.

[Dan]

Preventative anti-Karen measures taken.

 

[Doohickie]

That is nothing short of amazing.

 

[Dan]

We've all been there.

I'll just leave this here.

Total stereotype reinforcement. MLM? Karen Karen haircut Resting Karen face


Karen cosplay #1. Live. Laugh. Let me talk to your manager.


Karen cosplay #2. The "love" and "laugh" need to be flipped, though.

This article was in my fair comunity's newspaper

What is a VSCO girl? OK, boomer. A parents' dictionary to teen slang words, sksksksksk

What is a VSCO girl? OK, boomer. A parents' dictionary to teen slang words, sksksksksk

You don't want to start 2020 not knowing what the kids are saying, so here's a list of all the slang the youth are using and their definitions.

www.usatoday.com

In the list of words was this -

Karen

Poor Karen. She's right up there with Felicia.
A "Karen" is typically used to refer to an entitled mom, who can be a bit irritating with her frequent requests to "talk to the manager."
She may also have a giant bob haircut and drive a Volvo.

Some cool attention to detail in that pic. I love the Chili's box, the New Balance shoes on the guy's side.

We had a woman who put that plastic chain stuff across the public sidewalk on her lot lines. Didn't like the kids going on them or the sidewalk plow plowing snow onto "her" lawn. She went a bit nuts with that kind of stuff after her husband died. That's an interesting bit on the "Karen" theme btw- the proportion of them whose crazypants sense of entitlement is somehow mitigated by a spouse, but when they get by themselves or in a pack suddenly the little bumps n the road the spouse used to smooth over become "speak to the manager" moments.

 

[Veloise]

Stumbled across a FB page called "DAMNIT KAREN" and of course many participants are so named.

Yesterday was a post: How many real Karens are here who is nothing like a "Karen" lol. But like me have a little raging inner Karen who wants to scream "FUCK IT!!! BRING ME THE MANAGER!!!" LOL

I put up this genuine screenshot.

 

[Dan]

From the Google Streetview thread:

It appears that every single woman in that town goes to Karen's Klassic Kuts for all of their salon needs.

Not photoshopped.

Karen missed a major opportunity with the spelling of her business name there, as well as with her logo (I mean, 80's big hair? Come on!).

 

[Doohickie]

From the FB thread I linked:

I just ran the gauntlet through a Karenfest today. Worst was at Total Wine. A herd of Karen were grazing in the merlot section. I just wanted to get through. Now I know what it's like in Canada when the moose herds block the road.

Is this guy old enough to be wearing white socks and white New balance shoes at the same time? I thought only AARP members were permitted to wear this combination.

A friend of mine said he was about to go Full Karen at the DMV the other day. I told him he didn't have the hair to do it.

Wise advice as the average DMV is staffed and managed by many union Karens...in my experience. He'd be eaten alive.

Maybe not union, but Karens nonetheless.

Tread lightly, young people.

I will give the past three R governors of Indiana props: Mitch Daniels fixed the BMV while Pence and Holcomb managed not to screw it up. It is about as good an interaction with the bureaucracy as you could possibly hope for here.

The DMV has been smooth sailing for me pretty much every time I've been, but results do vary by user.

 

[MD Planner]

In my experience with the DMV, MVA or whatever your place calls it has generally been decent. The problem for me has always been the person in front of me who is trying to explain how they need to register this car without a title, the owner is a thousand miles away, she needs an operation, it's being sold for FAR less than it's value and she really needs to be on the road in 15 minutes. If it wasn't for that it would be no sweat at all.

 

[Bubba]

union Karens

So what are the demands of the United Karens of America, aside from wanting to speak to the manager? Longer wine breaks? More time in the morning to fix their hairdo?

A children's play area at work. Because family is important, but I don't actually want to be around them all the time.
