Its that time of year to sip hot cocoa, reflect on our accomplishments, and, marvel at the chaos caused by the wildest Karens of the year. Let’s be real: there’s something oddly satisfying about witnessing a Karen in full meltdown mode (from a safe distance, of course).
Whether it’s their uncanny ability to demand the manager over the smallest inconvenience or their sheer determination to ignore all social norms, these Karens never fail to leave us shaking our heads and wondering, “Who hurt you?”
This year’s Karen Hall of Fame certainly didn’t disappoint. We’ve rounded up the crème de la Karen, sourced straight from Reddit, social media, and firsthand accounts of people who lived to tell the tale. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you might even feel the sudden urge to hug a retail worker.
