A middle aged (usually caucasian) woman with a unhappy homelife who takes her frustrations out on store clerks and restaurant employees, because she doesn't have the nerve to stand up to her husband/boyfriend or has no control over her children. Her favorite thing to do is to hold up a long line while trying to return something she bought 2 years ago with no tag or receipt and expecting cash back.

Get the Karenmug. Usually blonde with glasses, tries to act young but looks like they're deep into their late forties. Cries in the middle of surgery when she finds out her child got hurt on the playground and shows that awkward weakness in a professional setting either trying to gain attention or sympathy. Demands you call her Dr. So-and-so with a minor in Gender Studies while some doctors are like 'Call me Ben. Call me Josh. Call me Mike.' Her favorite cartoon character is a yellow pill with one or two eyeballs. If she asks the tech to burp the DaVinci robot and they ask her to repeat herself because she mumbles, she will email the director saying that the tech does not know how to use the DaVinci Robot.
The Anesthesiologist variant of this is the same: Blonde with glasses, never smiles with RBF and when things go down and you run your hardest to get blood from the blood bank and doing the procedure of reading the patient name, blood type, DOB and serial number three times, Dr. Karen will still think you walked and took a break.
Don't socialize or mingle with Dr. Karens. They're miserable.

"Dr. Karen threw a tantrum when I took only 2 minutes to get blood from the blood bank thinking I should've gotten it just like that. She's like a spoiled 5-year-old brat who wants things handed to her immediately and if she doesn't get her way, she'll throw a tantrum."

Me: "I mean, you are a bit demanding."

Get the Karen-upmug. Those psycho, loony, racist, poorly educated white women running around screaming at random people that aren't white. They are usually middle aged, has a short temper, extremely demanding, and always wants to speak to the manager. You can tell them off by their short, blond haircut.

However Karen mainly preys on people just minding their own business! If you ever happen to encounter a wild Karen, remember to do the following;
Back away slowly
Pretend you cant hear her
DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT( Karens can sense fear)
Call the manager on her
And again, DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT
