karengitis

Unlike laryngitis when the voice is lost, weak, or irritated, Karen has her voice, it's loud, and irritates everyone else.

Also, the inability of stupid women to shut the fuck up, even when nobody cares.

That lady in the bank was having the worst case of karengitis towards the clerk that I feel embarrassed for her kids.

My wife nags me so much it's like she has karengitis.

Entitlementa Karenitis (noun) /ɛnˈtaɪtəlmɛnʃəˈkærənˌaɪtɪs/)

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.
