Karen meme vs. Humanity's psychological survival

[King Green]

Jesus Christ in High Heaven, what is wrong with people these days!?

My live-in mom is starting to become like that b*tch overdosed on pride and rejection because a bulb just blew in the bathroom and she's forcing me to look for a 2-day old recite. Commerce law does not work that way!
You can't refund damaged goods with a 2-day old recite b/cause its over 20 hours until nulled of refund, plus the bulb is in pieces so you can't get money back.

Karen Alert is becoming a dangerous phenomenon that is making people irrational and highly-aggressive. We need to kill this ideology before world wide mindsets are forcibly changed to a more primal and borderline murderous sense of self.

Any of you witness someone complaining and psychopathic due to rapid social-progress while quarantined?
Plus any of you know when banks will physically open cause I'm low on cash.

I work with the public via social media every day. I believe customer service is at the core of most supervillain backstories. Karens seem to think they will get all the attention and a resolution they desire and meanwhile the impression from the customer service representative is "I hate you and I will do as little for you as possible". Karens can die in a fire.

Funny how Karen was like an incompetent secretary for a bit. Apparently the meme started as a woman divorcing a guy and taking everything, but she somehow became an idiot to vent at. The 911 videos I think brought it back to how the origin is described.

Gotta say: I had the misfortune of working in customer service, and while my colleagues turned into these bitter, cynical "Well, you can't help all of them"-persons, I started to notice something: I was on the side of the customer.

It's not the customers fault, that things break down, phones don't work etc. if the customer used them properly and cautiously - because we all know, that on one happy monday, no matter how much you treated the , the computer, the TV, the - you name it - with care, it breaks down.

And then they call you - and you are neither MacGyver nor Q, you can't fix things with a snap or with a banana peel and some rubber band and you're on the clock and you have a very limited time-window, because people, several Salary Grades above you had a brain fart and decided, that your time for helping Karen Meyer with her specific problem is something like 5 minutes.

Personally, I think, that's neither fair, nor very smart. The customer service needs to put as much effort in the problem as possible.

Part of why I hate Karens is because they demand attention and resources I can use to help people in genuine need. Again, Fuck Karens.

It's quite unruly.

Pardon me, but can you explain this please? I thought the poor secretary and women getting everything in a divorce were completely separate from each other. Let alone link to the Karen meme.

Because they interacted with customer service or worked it? I can see that either way.

The podcast Decoder Ring just put out an episode on the 'Karen' meme the other day, tracking down where it came from & why it exists.
