Not individually but as a function of society. These people keep standards high, even the ones who are unreasonable. I don’t like them and I would hate to deal with them but in contrast they make reasonable people appear reasonable. If there were no Karen’s you might get attitude for asking for a clean spoon. So have some appreciation for these horrible people.

    Sometimes someone needs to be “the Karen.” My neighbor’s dog barked all the time until 3am. I am too anti confrontational to do anything or say anything. But it really sucked. Someone kept confronting them, complaining, and talking to other neighbors about it, called the animal control etc. Shit eventually stopped. I couldn’t be bothered. But thankful for that person.

    If everyone is “cool” and minds their own business all the time, some people take advantage and assume their shitty behavior is ok.

    That same person who called about the dog, also got the super ugly RV that was taking up all the space on our tiny street with no parking towed. And it never came back.

    Thanks “Karen.”
