Best / Worst "Karen" Moments

Hey guys I work in boutique REPE and I am trying to not go insane with my "Senior" Analyst. They are in their late 30s (think extreme Karen vibes). Constantly being suspicious who is in the parking lot, refers to any minority as “they”. On top of it they do not know how to use any formulas in excel other than "sum and xirr" (dead serious) , they hard code every single model in all black, and consistently tell me to "stop changing how we do things" when I don't use a mouse when I model because they think it takes longer. On top of it they make literally double what I make. 

What are some of your best / worst karen moments in both the workplace and out in the world?

 

Rough day in the office. VP was stressed the fuck out about a deal gone bad. We were all munching on chocolate chip cookies that morning, VP ordered an analyst to fetch her one. Before she took a bite she noticed something was wrong with her cookie, so she screamed at the top of her lungs because there weren't enough chocolate chips in her cookie. So loud, the back office probably heard it. She's not a Karen though but that particular day she was, kinda...sorta, given the circumstances.
