Clearly another meme I’ve missed along the way.

I did n’t get this one at first either. Here is an explanation:

press the button on her back and she speaks one of several phrases:

- “May I speak to the manager please?”

- “I don’t think they’re supposed to be doing that. Should we call the police?”

- “I know what’s best for MY CHILD!”

- “You HAVE to see this thing I found on Facebook!”

Can’t wait to see the Karens react when stores refuse to take back hoarded TP.

“Karen” is a stereotypical Gen-X or Xennial (some subset of Boomers also fit this stereotype, but I think they have another name like “Linda”) that drives a crossover, is ridiculously entitled, loves to put “Live, Laugh, Love” and other stupid sign/sticker things on everything, loves letterboards, has a bob haircut (of a certain style, not merely bob, it’s very distinctive), has 2.5 kids, and wants to speak to your manager the moment she doesn’t get what she wants.

At first I thought the picture from the OP was a joke, then I thought they were serious but didn’t realize, then realized it really was a joke all along.

They’re especially fun when you get to announce to them that you are the manager. They get all defeated and deflated when they find out “manager” isn’t the same as “CEO” or “head of the government regulatory agency that makes these rules” . Most Karens are under the impression that a local manager of one branch of a gigantic multibillion dollar corporation can do all sorts of magical things for them if they complain loudly enough.

Too nice.
- “I need to speak to you manager.”

- They would not ask, they’d just call.

- Accurate, but could use some anti-vax blathering .

- They’d just forward it to you.

I’m surrounded by Karens in my neighborhood and HOA. T hey’re the worst people imaginable, just glad I don’t work in some kind of job where I’d need to deal with their games constantly.

Roughly 38% of the population of Bellevue. Another 38% is her husband who is just as bad in every way .

I am about to make a sarcastic FB post in one of my local groups about Costco not taking back TP, then offer all the cash I have (a $1 bill that has been riding around in my wallet for like 6 months) for a full one. After all, I know they bought them all up and even they can’t use that much TP in a reasonable amount of time.

Note that my family is currently a bit low on TP as a result.

The suburbs may have an even higher concentration of them.

That shitty mom haircut is so terrible, too. (Yes, that is a d ouble entendre. )

The Karens in the group would send you hate messages, or have you removed.

If you have Nextdoor, it is also amusing in these bizarro world times. The Karens are loud and proud there.

I saw myself running low about 3 weeks ago, and took action - some stores had a little stock then.  For once, I timed a market right.

I bet it’s really fun in Issaquah/Sammmamish or north Kirkland.

Shitty mom haircut, indeed.

Probably true, sadly. They’re the worst.

I didn’t join when they sent me an invite in the mail, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Nextdoor is a Karen-filled cesspool.

Ha! A lot like Obvious Plant.

I read nextdoor just for laughs.  Here in 98004 there’s a lot of complaining about kids playing in groups outside.  One Karen was moaning about “millennials” (I shit you not) playing frisbee in a park or something.  Then you have the hypochondriacs freaking out about Corona, the rightist loons saying it is nothing, etc.
