Having to encounter a "Karen" is like a real-life boss fight. It's annoying and terrifying, and no one really wants to have to deal with it.

Unfortunately, however, Karens are out there, and likely always will be. Of course, Karens are the kind of older women who are just never happy. They don't like to listen to rules, they feel entitled to everything, and they're generally just unpleasant people. They'll always want to talk to a manager because they don't trust just anyone, and even then, they will degrade the manager.

They are honestly worse than any boss battle because there's no winning with them, there's rarely even a middle ground, it's usually their way or no way. Karens make the world a harder place to live in. As a way to deal with the pain they cause, though, users on Reddit share their worst Karen stories and best Karen memes as an act of solidarity to show that no one is alone in dealing with their terror.

Here are 14 Karen stories and memes that really capture what it's like to deal with these people.
