Why am I a Karen magnet?

I’ve had a lot of issues with Karens in my life, you could say that they’re the biggest problem in my adult life, and socially they’re one of my only problems.

Karens to the left of me, Karens to the right, what am I to do?

I’m due to start a new job on Monday and one of the Karens that I quit my old job to avoid is apparently just started there.

I will no doubt be subject to gossip and lies again, but luckily I’ve had lots of practice and built up more resilience.

I live in the Karen homeland

The UK, more specifically England is the motherland of the Karen. Karens have been around as long as England has existed in one way or another.

This means that there is a high percentage of Karens in this country, which of course means I’m more likely to run into them.

When you’re out of work it’s not a problem as you can go wherever you want. If they’re giving you shit you can leave and there’s is nothing they can do about it other than fake laugh at you or throw insults at you.

When you’re at work, it’s a different kettle of fish. You’re stuck in an office with them every day, for 8 hours a day. They have the power to make your life miserable, and that’s exactly what they do.
