Get the Karen Cartelmug. A dangerous subspecies to humans, known only for its toxicity. Karens come in many shapes and sizes, but they are usually recognizable by their loudmouth behavior.
Other identifying characteristics include Atrocious Haircuts, Verbal desires to see the Manager, and their usually Easy To Anger behavior.
Karens also tend to travel in packs of various numbers. Regardless if there's 2 or 10, your best option is to avoid them at all costs. Even just one must be avoided, even if you ARE the Manager. They may also be part of much larger packs, known as the Home Owners Association (HOA), Human Resources (HR), or any other organization that may be viewed as "Superior" to average humans.
Their natural habitat varies, although they are commonly found in the suburbs, hiding amongst regular human lifeforms. Karens will always be attracted to the nearest retail employee, regardless of the employee's age, and will then proceed to have a full-blown meltdown. Karens typically believe that video games are unnecessary, essential oils are healthcare, their body their choice, and that you are below them.
Despite this, some Karens have been observed defending the exact same beliefs and practices that other Karens are against. These Karens can be trusted.

Get the Karenmug. As we all know, a “Karen” is a woman who is being “the worst.” A “Kegel of Karens” is the term to refer to Karens that have gathered in a group, much like a flock of birds, gaggle of geese, murder of crows, or a herd of cows.
