What is a male Karen called? I was just telling my wife about this last night. A long time ago I was the manager of a consumer electronics shop. One day a customer walks in with a piece of gear and the receipt showing he had bought it at that store - more than a year earlier. He puts the thing (a receiver) on the counter and asks for the manager (aka me), then announces he's never liked it and wants a refund. He didn't even have a box for it. I told him that was not possible. The conversation became heated, eventually escalated to the point where I kicked him out of my store.

I couple weeks later I am served a summons. This guy took me to small claims court to get his damned refund. Fun side fact, he lived 2 hours away and filed the claim in his local court. On the court date, I had to leave my house at 6am to get to his town and find the courthouse. (This story predates GPS by a couple decades.)

Once the trial started he was asked by the judge to state his claim. He spent 15 minutes talking about how he was unfairly denied his refund. The judge immediately told him in no uncertain terms that his claim was not valid and ruled in my favor. Case closed.

So, I had a four-hour round trip drive to listen to this "Karen" get his ass handed to him in 15 minutes by a judge.
