I’ve all heard of “Karens” – those people who always seem to have a complaint and want to speak to the manager. They can be found in stores, restaurants, and even online, always ready to make a scene over the smallest things. While their behavior can be annoying, sometimes the things they say are so ridiculous that we can’t help but laugh.
In this article, I’ll look at 18 crazy things that “Karens” have actually said. These quotes are so over-the-top that they’re funny.
“I want to speak to the manager of the sun!”
A Karen was upset about the hot weather and demanded to speak to someone in charge. Of course, no one controls the sun! This shows how some people think they can complain about anything, even natural things we can’t change.
“My child is an angel, he would never do that!”
Said by a Karen whose kid was clearly misbehaving in a store. Many Karens refuse to believe their children can do wrong, even when there’s clear evidence. This attitude often leads to more problems and frustrated store workers.
“I’m never shopping here again!” (while still shopping)
Karens love to make this threat, but often keep right on shopping. It’s funny because they think their business is so important, but their actions show they don’t mean what they say.
“Do you know who I am?”
A classic Karen line when they don’t get their way. They think being important (or thinking they are) means rules don’t apply to them. Usually, the answer is no, no one knows who they are!
“I’ve been coming here for 20 years!”
Karens often use this to try to get special treatment. They think being a long-time customer means they can break rules or get extra perks. It’s silly because most businesses treat all customers the same, no matter how long they’ve been coming.
“My dog is a service animal, he doesn’t need a vest!”
Said by a Karen trying to bring her obviously untrained pet into a store. Real service animals are well-behaved and usually wear vests. This shows how some people try to bend rules for their own benefit.
“I demand a refund for this free sample!”
A Karen actually said this at a grocery store. It’s funny because you can’t get money back for something that was free. This shows how some people will try to complain about literally anything.
“The customer is always right!”
Karens love this phrase, but they often use it wrong. It was meant to be about stocking products customers want, not about bad behavior. It’s funny when they use it to justify outrageous demands.
“I’ll have you fired for this!”
A common threat from Karens when they don’t get their way. They overestimate their power and think they can control other people’s jobs. Usually, managers know better than to fire good employees over a customer’s tantrum.
“My taxes pay your salary!”
Often said to public workers like police or teachers. It’s silly because everyone’s taxes go to many things, not just one person’s salary. Karens use this to try to boss around public servants.
“I’m going to sue this place!”
Karens threaten lawsuits over the smallest things. Most of the time, they have no real case and are just trying to scare people. It’s funny because they think every little problem is worth going to court over.
“I’m a social media influencer, I deserve special treatment!”
Some Karens think having followers online makes them important in real life. They often demand free stuff or special service. It’s amusing because most businesses don’t care about social media status.
“That’s not how we do it in [insert place]!”
Karens sometimes compare everything to how things are done where they’re from. They forget that different places have different ways of doing things. It’s funny when they expect the whole world to work like their hometown.
“I need to speak to the CEO right now!”
Said by a Karen with a minor complaint at a big company. It’s hilarious because CEOs of large companies don’t deal with everyday customer service issues. This shows how some people overreact to small problems.
“My husband is a lawyer!”
Karens often try to scare people by mentioning a powerful relative. Whether it’s true or not, it’s funny because personal connections shouldn’t change how rules are applied. Most of the time, no one cares who their husband is!
“I’m never eating here again!” (while still eating)
Similar to the shopping threat, Karens say this while continuing to eat their meal. It’s amusing because their actions don’t match their words. They’re enjoying the food even while complaining about it.
“I demand you change your company policy for me!”
Karens sometimes think their single complaint should change how a whole business works. They don’t realize that policies are usually there for good reasons. It’s funny to see them expect a company to completely change for one person.
“This is false advertising!” (about their own mistake)
A Karen might say this when they misread a sale sign or coupon. Instead of admitting their error, they blame the store. It’s amusing because they’re so sure they’re right, even when they clearly made a mistake.
