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.
