The only problem with "Karen" is there are many really lovely people that are named Karen that I feel bad about 😩

Getting upset when people ignore your birthday. Apparently anyone who wants a nice birthday is acting like a child.

Ooh that reminds me! Feeding your kids processed food not home cooked meals from scratch every day.....ESPECIALLY baby food in jars or pouches

Rightly, as it’s sexist and ageist shite.

Phillipconnarthy · 21/04/2025 22:59

Wanting your friends to so much as acknowledge your existence once every 3 years, as it means you're needy, desperate and don't realise that people are busy and 'have their own lives'

justmeandmyselfandi · 21/04/2025 23:00

Not wanting a million children at your wedding! Weddings are not for the bride and groom, but for the whole family and community.

Complaining about dogs being given human rights.

Nah, there's a huge contingent of dog haters on here. Dogs existing is frowned upon.

Cats existing is also very upsetting to many.
