You can usually spot one from across the parking lot. That dyed bob is locked in place with half a can of hairspray, and they head for the counter like a lawyer walking into court, receipt in hand and a voice that rattles the shelves three aisles over. Store managers feel their stomachs drop the second those automatic doors slide open, and most of them would happily hide in the stockroom until the coast is clear.

Karens, as the internet has lovingly dubbed them, have been giving service workers and neighbors a hard time for years now. Naturally, a whole subreddit popped up dedicated to calling them out, and its members don’t hold back. We’ve rounded up some of the funniest memes and posts from the group, so scroll down to see Karen energy at its finest.

Pretty much everyone has crossed paths with someone like this at least once. It might have happened at a coffee shop, or it could have been a neighbor who complained to the HOA about a slightly overgrown lawn.

Over time, the internet decided this kind of person needed a name, and it landed on Karen .

According to Know Your Meme , a Karen is usually pictured as an irritating, entitled woman who acts like the world owes her something.

Her most famous move is demanding to speak to the manager, often over the tiniest problem. She tends to complain loudly, and she rarely backs down once she gets going.

The stereotype even comes with a signature look. A Cambridge University Press blog points out that the Karen type has its own physical traits, and some people consider reality TV star Kate Gosselin to be “Karen Zero.”

Her choppy, angled cut basically became the blueprint for the famous “can I speak to your manager” bob. These days, a single photo of that hairstyle is enough for people online to know exactly what kind of person is being described.
