Shut up Karen
Describes a blonde hair woman who has afternoon tea and doesn't like when something isn't "ship and shape," will definitely let you know about everything that seems out of place. Otherwise, used to describe people in public who deliberately flip the fuck out when something isn't what they expected. Over-exaggerated emotions towards service desk people, checkout clerks or fast food workers.
Example 1: Karen says that the guy at the oil shop was trying to slash her tires when he dropped his tool. He got oil on the car door when he got up to grab something else. Karen asked Wanda over a cup of tea that afternoon if she shouldn't have gotten a free car wash too, truly exasperated.
Example 2: Karen buys a phone from Verizon and brings it into Walmart for a repair, then flies off the handle at the clerk there when they can't help them. Karen ends up having wasted her entire day, then proceeds to take it out on everyone else in the store in a flying fit of rage, or randomly insults someone standing nearby because they look like a jackass.
Innocent bystanders silently think, "Shut up Karen."
