Wait until Karen barks at the wrong person and someone bitch slaps her.

Definately. People are so sensitive today giving the fact the media certainly is helping matters. Turn off the news and enjoy life.

Same here. I just think of Karen as a female name. Just like Mary, Joan, Barbara etc.

Karen is a name and people deciding Karen is a racist person is just nonsense and that is my final word on the subject

Or in other words. Bull****.

And I am angry that someone would write that people who live in "The Bubble" are insular and unread.

It makes me want to bite when I see a new word or attitude shoved at us like someone just got some new news from the "Mount".

Ok, Boomer

I will (and have) definitely ask anyone to step back and give me some room if I want to. I don’t care what you think or call me. I respect others space. Your whole “Karen” thing, that’s your problem. It’s a big planet, you do not have to be on top of me in a line. Wait patiently another few feet away. Is that so hard? Sounds to me like you have the problem Of a lack of undersatnading other peoples space. You were too close. Perhaps you should be more aware??

You weren't there to witness what happened, so how do you know how far apart they were.

FYI

Karenitis

A disease that causes middle aged entitled women to behave like animals when they don’t get their way. If met with resistance from people, the Karenitis will start to develop. Symptoms include dramatic outburst, arguing with strangers about random things that don’t concern them, and asking to speak to ones manager. May also include threats of suing or calling the police. A lifelong virus that can only be cured by public exposure and losing her job.

‘’That crazy older woman has the Karenitis! That is why she blows up in public over things that are none of her business"

This thread is a complete waste of time and energy. This Covid -19 is really doing a number on many people.... Look step back re-group and try to get back to normal.

This situation will soon pass. Use your head. C'mon

Rather than being so proud of yourself that you did not “engage,” you might ask yourself why you needed to use a derogatory term.

How difficult was it to back up?
