      Yes this happened,there was this boy in building i live in (its an apartment) he had anger issues and use to hit people who anger him so me and my friends avoided him. Then apparently he complained to his mom that no one is playing with him so his mom asked us why aren’t we playing with him so we told her that he hits others and said “my angel wouldn’t hit anyone!” But we had proof:someone with a black eye and then she said and i quote “that’s just make up! You are bullying my angel and hitting him!” So the black eyed person splashed water on his eye and it dint come off and a girl and her friends came up and said “ma’am with all due respect i have recorded a video of your son hitting someone and played it she saw and the look of terror on her face made me so happy I muttered under my breath”that’s what you get! And then she took her son and ran away that’s the last I’ve ever saw of them

      My Edits: I noticed you didn't complain about rude and aggressive MEN, who certainly exist in greater numbers. People figure it's OK for men to misbehave in patriarchal societies. It's only women, especially older women, who violate social norms for submissive behavior in females who get labelled "Karens".

      It all came about because I was telling my mom about a b*tch a school one day and she had one of them Laqueshaneshtria names. So, when it came time to tell the story my mom asked what the chick's name was I was like... " What was it Tyquesha? Laquasia? Tyquaisha? F*ck I don't know, let's just call her Quita!".............. and it stuck. This was 4 yrs ago btw and I still use the term "Quitas" and "Quita-squad" (for the b*tches that always be hanging with Quita) to describe this stereotype.

      At the beach I was with my friend, we were bringing a game called Kan Jam (it’s basically a frisbee game where you gotta get the frisbee into these big 'cans') down to the beach. So to get down to the beach you gotta walk on these barely wide board walk ways. We were carrying card board boxes filled with the Kan jam stuff in them. Karen comes by, sloppily presses her cheap mask to her face and says rudely “you know you could’ve moved!” And pulls her arm closer to herself trying to fake cringe at the fact we were on the same board walk as her. She had the haircut and everything, even worse her son was there and looked so embarrassed. She also could clearly see we were trying to press against one of the railings as much as we could with big cardboard boxes in our hands.

    The red head in this video, she's showing symptoms. Her friends need to organise an intervention !

      Symptoms? She seems to be a clear one to me. Even at 8:25 she wanted to speak to the manager.

      How worse would a Karen named Karen be when it reveals its true being?

    Let's all take a moment of silence for people named Karen who act lovely and kind to everyone 😔😔

    When you don't know the ACTUAL origin, but make an origin segment anyhow...

    Acting like a "Karen" is actually illegal. It's called ACCOSTING and us a form of assault. We should be able to send our proof to police and they should be issued with a $1000 fine. Similar to getting a red light fine.

    Asking to see the bread, when its your turn seems a perfectly reasonable request to me 😂

      Yes these Americans are sadly very soft, and this girl doesn't have the business sense. I always adapt to the clients when I am on service. Show her rapidly the bread, say what's in it, the composition . Ask if they agree with it. Stay collected (as always). And boom, a satisfied client and you unlocked maturity points. Some teenagers really aren't mature for real life jobs, and I say that as a teenager.

    Pretty sure Mike the cop, the youtuber, coined the term karen after one chest cam incident he commented on. If only buzzfeed did their research.
