A California post office became the stage for an outrageous and unintentionally hilarious scene this week when an elderly woman, quickly branded a “Karen” by the internet, was filmed shrieking at staff over one of the smallest possible grievances: not knowing exactly where to place a return label on her envelope.
The footage, first shared on Reddit before making the rounds on TikTok (where it was later removed by the original uploader), shows the woman unleashing a high-pitched tirade at clerks, demanding the supervisor’s number and screaming so relentlessly that one staffer warned she might “give [herself] a heart attack yelling like that.”
Throughout the encounter, the woman screeches for police to be called, mocks the person filming for recording her, and accuses the bystander of refusing to help. The person behind the camera, however, points out that this isn’t the first time the “Karen” has caused chaos at the branch, which perhaps hints at a history of meltdowns.
Sadly, the video ends without resolution, as I’d love to have seen how they removed her from the building. Still, viewers were left with no shortage of entertainment. One Reddit user wrote: “Tbh, I could watch her for hours on end. She is totally unhinged.” Another joked: “RIP my eardrums, holy shit her voice is so shrill all the dogs in my vicinity started barking.”
