I’ve “karened” before by seeing the manager. Being screwed at a hotel or restaurant doesn’t sit well with me and I would defy anyone is more conservative than me. Complaining about being treated poorly or dealing with bad customer service doesn’t automatically make you a Karen.
You’re definitely right.
I wasn’t really clear on what the point was here anyway.
Being a Karen is not about sticking up for oneself when wronged.
They are about being a bunch of meddling control freaks who can’t stand that someone is doing something the Karens don’t think they should be.
My wife helps elderly folks out. She has to deal with the bureaucracy quite a bit. She does her best to calmly explain something, but after the third time of being told to “call back” or “you need to call another number” where the person she reached just doesn't want to deal with the problem, she can put her foot down.
The latest was when the man's wife passed away, but it got into the system that they both died!
“Oh - I'm sorry - he doesn't have insurance anymore and he will need to pay it in full.”
Took awhile for them to figure out that the reason he didn't have insurance was because he was “dead”. Of course Social Security also discovered that he was “dead”.... What a mess!
