Rapidly-spreading behavioural disorder marked by inflated sense of self-importance & unwavering belief in deserving special treatment. Condition typically manifests in relentless demands to "see the manager" over trivial issues, an incessant need to complain, & a firm conviction that personal opinions are universal truths; & results in disruptions to social & professional environments, creating tension & stifling cooperation.
The afflicted ("Karens") possess a supernatural ability to detect non-existent customer service violations & are known to demand refunds for items they didn’t purchase. They travel in packs, known as a "Squabble of Karens," often seen in malls, coffee shops, or anywhere with Wi-Fi to fuel their social media rants.
Advanced cases extend beyond stores, leading to workplace disruptions, social isolation, & even public confrontations over perceived slights.
Societal impact includes creating division, hindering progress, & promoting a culture of discord. Online, their self-righteous activism clogs social media with misinformation & cancel-culture campaigns; while in communities, they spearhead NIMBY movements, opposing anything that doesn't align with their narrow worldview.
Professionally, they're notorious for stalling team projects & demanding recognition without merit, ultimately isolating themselves as they wonder why their brilliance isn’t rewarded.
Treatment: A heavy dose of humility, empathy, & exposure to diverse perspectives.

Get the Karenmug. A woman, usually middle aged, who thinks she is entitled to anything and everything. They also believe they have the right to do whatever the hell they want to whomever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want, however they want for whatever reason they have, whether it is rational or irrational. A narcissistic bitch.
Me:That Karen got what she deserved. She just kept pushing it until that guy couldn't take it anymore.
