Story 3 is infuriating she faked being the victim of a crime. This should be made a felony.
100%
This happend to me about 15 years ago I had a girlfriend who drank to much she wanted me out of are shared apartment so she called the cops with out my knowledge. When they showed up I got hand cuffed with out ever hearing any thing I had to say there were no witness just my girlfriends word against mine she obviously had no marks on her because I didn't do any thing. Well I ended up sitting in jail for 3 months I couldn't afford bail or a lawyer so I got stuck with a public defender so at the end I had to pled down to a lesser charge which is still on my record to this day. If I would of took it to trial I would of sat in jail for a year waiting. Also my girlfriend at the time didn't fallow through. but the state I lived in at the time picks up and pursue any domestic violence charge's regardless if the supposed victim does or not
It is I think...well in my country it is...I live in Australia & the crime is called filing a false statement with police.
A male Karen could be called a Daren or a Keven I've heard both
@DanielPalmer-zq1fx. that's awful. And it is infuriating that anyone can call and lie and the other person's life is changed forever. Shame on her!!! She's the type who gives women a bad name. And it's a tragedy for the ones it really happens to and they aren't taken seriously. Because others have lied. I'm truly sorry this happened to you.
This is truly a thumbnail
Based thumbnail KEK
This is a thumbnail of all time.
This thumbnail gives me
So you can do a shaniqua one next right?!? that's when black women freak out
Nooo!!!
Crazy how the woman in the first story never called what the Karen did kidnapping nor did police arrest her immediately. Imagine if the roles were reversed
Yeah honestly
I don’t only call that neighbor a “Karen” but a “kidnapper” as well.
I was thinking same thing, she should of been charged with kidnapping!!
Listen again, there was talk of pressing charges and kidnapping charges.
Story #5 ticked me off!! I'm mad at the fiance for not intervening. If another woman were to knock my man's hat off his head and then run off, I would have chased her ass down and finished that business. Done 💪👊
Choke slam that entitled Karen right into the concessions stand as she tries to run off to cause more trouble, amirite? 😹
Did anyone else find it odd how in story 3 OP made no mention of his girlfriend(now wife) or what she did during or after this "Karen" encounter? It seems odd, right?
It must be fake because HIS girlfriend was THERE. Yet some rando just pops up outta nowhere with evidence when his girlfriend could've examined away everything and said the Karen had evidence showing she was full of crap
I thought the same thing. Bc I would have intervened and defended my boyfriend??
Given how many people don't even stand up for themselves when being harassed, I'm not surprised.
its a fake story
I thought the same thing.
You probably won't see this comment but, I've followed and watched you for years now. Your voice is so incredibly soothing and pleasant. Thank you for making this content
He saw your comment.👍

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Karens were clear as day. I worked at a small grocery store as a deli staffer. I recall this woman coming and at first she seemed indecisive upon asking if she needed anything else on top of her deli order, but in a split second she told me to hurry up and huffed and puffed whenever her deli meet was slightly over 200 grams. I stopped and said "ma'am, these are challenging times for everyone right now" and she ended up storming off towards the checkout with her basket leaving her deli order. I did inform my supervisor about the situation and if she did come back, I would have no problem serving her if she changed her attitude. If she didn't, I would refuse her service. She never came back and I was fired a week later without cause, which was upsetting for a great amount of time. I learned a valuable lesson about customer service and they are unpredictable because you never know what kind of people you will have deal with at your lowly-paid customer service job.
That fucking blows ass, you did nothing wrong and ended up getting fired!
So did she get you fired? Why do people harass customer service workers so much? Just why?
@@RoseBud76 One thing would be that it gives them a sense of power over people they feel are lower than them
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counsellor, and how do i reach her?
DON'T DO IT, BUD, IT'S A SCAM.@@williamschaefer282
Aye man ima be blunt if after 5 years she decided that she ain’t love you and she up n left it’s either because you have something wrong with you or she genuinely doesn’t care and if there’s nothing wrong with you don’t try to get her back if she’ll leave u after 5 years she’ll leave u again man to man if she means the world to you analyze yourself see what’s wrong with you and if u can’t find anything then she’s got issues and you don’t need that in your life at all because imagine what’ll happen in another 5 years would you be able to handle it? I wish you luck and I hope things can be repaired but if she can leave after 5 years w no explanation she don’t love you or you got something wrong with you that she’s probably told you before but you never realized was a problem till you self analyze you’ll be wondering why forever I wonder why after 5 years she jus up n left keep ya head up brother if she ain’t the one there’s always another don’t give up n keep trying to make you happy that’s all that matters you’re born alone you die alone
You’re better off without her. Time heals. God has someone true that you will love more and that she will also love you more.
More than one of these stories used the term "passive-aggressive" when they actually just meant "aggressive". If someone is outwardly showing you their anger, that's not passive. If someone is asking you a direct question angrily, that's also not passive
It's 2 am I'm in bed watching a lightning storm and listening to Let's Read...doesn't get any better than that!😁
Same time zone as me!
I am also watching a lightning storm. Its a real show here tonight!
@@SonOfABith and mine as well.
I misread the title. Thought we were getting some Kraken horror stories 😂🦑
Same thing really.
@@stuartfishman719lmao😭
Lol now thats a story 😂
RELEASE THE.......Karen?!!
Wrong script.
I'd rather deal with the giant squid.
@@Hope_this_is_just_a_dream1994 came here to look for this comment
Nothing Karen’s hate more than you not accepting their expired coupons.
LMAO
😂😂😂😂👌🏾
Facts
In story 3 it blows my mind how rude and pretty much unstable some people can be! Approaching a complete stranger and starting crap for absolutely no reason at all! People like this woman is what's wrong with the world lol.
Agreed. Equally terrifying is how quickly people who knew nothing of the situation rushed to gather around in support of the perpetrator to decry the alleged "villain" and puff themselves up with a sense of self-importance.
Yes, that's why you silently walk away, because life doesn't have to be a dramatic TV show
If someone is following you, DO NOT DRIVE TO YOUR HOME OR EVEN NEAR IT. Drive to the police station.
Best advice ever 👍
OMG I suggested that Joel make a Karen video on his live 😱 it’s so good, thanks for taking my suggestion Joel 😆
Story 3…why didn’t your girlfriend stand up for you…? I sure as heck would of defended my man in a heartbeat
I know right?!!
Yes, I was wondering about her. Though the police probably wouldn't have believed her since she was OP's girlfriend. It makes me mad that they just up and arrested him at first, but what makes it even worse on their part is that they didn't arrest psycho Karen cause I always thought that framing another person for a crime was a crime. But then again some police can be just useless.
Would love to hear all the creepy/weird/scary things that have risen in your life that could either be old stories growing up or since storytelling, crazy dms, etc that would be an awesome 10 year anniversary video!!!
I bet there would be some great stories!
Im autistic/adhd and I usually tune out when I realize I’ve listened or watched something already but, you’re the only one I’ll listen to multiple times. Also love joining your live streams lol hearing you “break character” is honestly so entertaining hahah. Feels just like I’m hanging with one of my best friends 😂. Anyway listening to the Karen’s now lmao 😂
I'm also autistic
Same
Autistic gang! 🎉
LOL I love when we come together 😂
Yay now I know someone online with both my “quirks” lol. Not disorders, but individuality
"Put on my Hall and Oats playlist" is my favorite line ever 🙂
Thanks Let’s Read for cheering me up. I’m really sad because today is my 30th birthday and I had planned a nice stay at a spa hotel, but instead I’m sitting alone at home, sick. But your videos always comfort me. ❤️
The police should be held accountable for there actions.
they won't. two words. qualified immunity.
Their*
Exactly. It's like they just wanna be lazy and not even bother investigating further into the situation.
Totally agree!
@@MissyGail4evaand yet cop that killed George floyd is answering for what he did
The fence story is kind of particularly hilarious to me because where I live wooden fences are standard & chain link fences seem cold & industrial. Plus who doesn’t want privacy in their own garden? It’s absolutely ridiculous when people think they can tell you what to do with your own property
I imagine that the Karen wanted to spy on her neighbors, and having a better fence would've disrupted her view
'It’s absolutely ridiculous when people think they can tell you what to do with your own property' Well, HOAs totally can....
@@goblinb for some reason people choose to allow them that power. They’re also completely ridiculous & don’t exist in other parts of the world.
I tried HOA's twice , absolute male and female Karen's both times convinced us to buy a house with no HOA. Although, we have an elderly neighbor that thinks he can tell me what to do with my property : not about my fence, but about my trees as noise & visual blocks from other neighbors. Take care of "my trees" because he said so, what a whiner. Yes, I ignore his bs.
Joel, I wanted to take this time to thank you for everything you’ve done for the awesome let’s Read channel. You are amazing and a very talented narrator. You are one of the best narrators I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. You rock brother.
💯
🎉🎉 I second that
I tend to be pretty skimpy re handing out praise but your narrations are always clear and professional and your choice of stories top notch. There are a few tellers of tales on CZcams who should seriously reexamine their life choices. There are several who are fair to good. You are among the very few who excel.
Totally agree! Most of the time we hear great narration and so so stories or amazing stories with ho hum narration. Not here! Great stories and amazing presentation!
This episode was one of the best! It’s so sad how some people are really ignorant. None of these people deserved to be treated the way they were smh but they all handled it very well.. definitely do more stories of Karen’s ! 10/10 for me 👏🏼
The topic of this video prompts me to want to share my own story involving a Karen, though, at least in my opinion, more humorous than scary.
So I am a man in my early 30s who hasn't had my hair cut, except for trimming the dead ends off, for about 4 years now. This past autumn I made a coffee run to my favorite local coffee place and while I normally tie my hair up in a bun, that day I just wasn't feeling it. So I ordered my coffee and this woman, I'd place her in her 50s, got behind me in line and when I was leaving with my drink, she rudely told me that 'my hair was too long for a man.' Without missing a beat, I responded I was Rapunzel's long lost sibling. Her face got bright red and she stormed out of the coffee shop without buying anything. The batista actually gave me a breakfast sandwich for my comeback.
So yeah, my story might be more funny than anything else and nothing major really happened but really, I hope others can take my experience, along with the people's in this video and realize that bullies can be beaten, there will almost always be a peaceful outcome.
She’s jealous she can’t have luscious locks
Good man 😂🤣😂
did she even read the bible? especially on samson?
You're an amazing narrator and i cant wait to listen to this. You are an inspiration to all new and upcoming narrators, including myself!
Hi 👋🏻 I’m now Fully Subscribed to your Site! Thankyou for your Stories! Welcome to this industry!!!
The amount of self entitlement these days blows my mind. Who raised these people ? 🤯
Mom & Dad Karens & Grandma & Grandpa Karens...its what you get for continually praising children & telling them they're special all the time. Compliment them when they do good but still kick the proverbial butt when not. Yes children are special...but no more so than anyone else.
whenever they don't get what they want or don't get their way, they throw a temper tantrum like a child.
Sorry to say, society did!! This is the byproduct of majority mASSES that just stand around like a bunch of submissive pansies instead of collectively standing up against these CCUUNN**SS
These BBIITT**HHEE$$ know no one will stand against them so they get to the point that they have power trips.
I think what happened in story 3 was insanely crazy. I can see how people would lose trust in police officers.
And what the EFFF is the society doing about it!?!?!? Besides just leaving "it's very infuriating when cops do this" on social media. It is the same think that happened during WWII. It's the "It's not me so it's not my problem" BS. Then comes a day when this happens to you or me and then others come on to social media and say the same "It's a darn shame...they should do something about this" instead of standing up to what is right.
I bet you a million that if something like this happened in public, you would just stand there like a deer in headlights and not say a single thing. I've seen this many times. People just like watching the sow. And now with social media and cellphones, the amount of mouth-breathers is effiinngg mind boggling! I've seen people in situations like this and I've intervened happily. The problem is that there is no such thing as community anymore. The elites have us right where they want us "just a bunch of mASSES that keep their heads down and get on with their day".
A people/nation that is too scared of their own shadow, will never stand up for themselves and that is right where they want/have us.
the third one... ugh what a close call. bless the lady who recorded! fakers and liars incriminating innocent ppl is beyond infuriating.
I've been struggling to fall back to sleep since waking at 1:30 am, and just listening to scary stories. It's currently 6:30, and I'm sick as hell (active sores on the roof of my mouth and tongue, sore throat, badly stuffed up nose, and low-grade fever on and off for days). Man, trying to ask off for the day from my brand new job is anxiety-inducing.
My guy Joel doing it once more 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a great topic
I couldn’t even fall asleep to this one because the Karen shenanigans made me so maddddd 😂
I enjoy the birds chirping at the end of the video. 👍👍
Dude the lady in the first story actually kidnapped those kids-
She took them to her place without the consent of the parents over what? Not liking how the babysitter looks?
Honestly. What a crazy woman. I understand being concerned, but the children aren't in any danger with the babysitter and the fact that the Karen thinks she knows more than the parents do about the safety of their children blows my mind. The parents wouldn't put those children in the OP's care if they didn't trust her.
I don't think I've been this early for an upload EVER
I used to be a cashier for Walmart and when your new you're going to make a lot more and if you're anything like me with really bad anxiety you're going to be extremely nervous and the slightest rudeness from a customer is enough to ruin your day because your nerves can't handle it. And with my really bad anxiety I normally keep to myself but if I see anyone treating a cashier that way I will explode my anger will override that anxiety
It's good to stand up for an employee who is dealing with a crazy costumer, another thing you could do is fill out a comment card praising the employee.
I was wondering when another volume of this genre would drop! Thanks Joel, you're the 🐐
Ugh Karens. 🤬
Well now this is totally different.
love it!
I’m currently sick rn so this definitely makes my night better.
Finally!! Some horror stories about Karens!!!
Story 3: the karen pulled a juicy smoliet. If juicy went to prison so should she.
I almost googled “Karen.s.. Lolz. But your awesome video was the perfect combination of your sultry voice and content. Not only did it help with clarification. But also made me realize that my own experience with Karen’s almost on a daily basis was utterly not shocking.. 😂 Made me giggle.
I’m a retail clerk. You can only do your best!
Thanks for your kind & courteous service...Karens & Kevins suck the big fuzzy one.
OMG! I listen to a lot of Karen stories but you are the only one who can make them sound super creepy. I appreciate that. Thank you.
I love this 'Karen' theme. Thanks Joel, you're the best! I love all your narrations. Keep it up!
That woman at the football game was a definite Karen. Intoxicated people aren't nearly as bad but still should be approached with caution. Excellent set of stories nonetheless =D
Jeez, I am enjoying this but getting pissed at the same time. 🤣
I thought this was a joke thumbnail, thats utterly hilarious
Thank you Joel.
Loved this topic!
Loved this collection 😂
Man, I also work as a meat cutter at a grocery store, so that second story really gets to me. I always treat everyone kindly and with a smile, even the crazy Karens. I couldn't imagine someone going to that length in their insanity. I hope that situation resolved well and the guy is ok.
Anybody catch Patrick cc’s video where we all learned that Dane Cook is actually who coined the term “Karen!” Pretty crazy, right?!!
Yup
I looked just long enough and the thumbnail blinked at me 🥰
Everytime I hear about a "Karen" I think about one of my middle school teachers who's first name happened to be that. She was pretty judgemental, rude and just uncaring.
A very creative topic. Love it.
Still my favorite true crime narrator, and I subscribe to probably 30+. Keep kickin’ ass, Joel. The Joel Patrol is always on deck. 🤟
Thank you for mentioning male Karen’s (Darren’s) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Out of all the scary stories I've heard these are the scariest!
It was near Halloween maybe 8 years ago. My friend and I went to Party City to look at the costumes. While we were there, this awful woman came in. Berated the lady at the front of the store and kept saying, "Do you know who I am?" I'm a lawyer blah blah blah. She had this worker nearly in tears and had her call her manager just to insult her and act horrible. When the horrid creature left I asked the lady to call her manager back. I told her that the lady did nothing wrong and handle it very well. I can't even call her a lady or woman because that customer acted like a damn orc.
This is when you're supposed to record everything that was going on. Then quietly gone to the Karen and given fake support saying "you did the right thing. You're a customer and we need to be treated with respect. You did the right thing."
Then in conversation I would've said "I overheard you are a lawyer and would love to have your info if I ever needed it." Once she hands that info over, send it to her firm and destroy her career. I would send the video to her firm and make her popular on social media and then tell the firm "It is such a shame that you employee people like this."
The problem is that there are too many good people and these types of karens feel entitled and feel they can do whatever they want. We need to actively destroy these hags!!!
@khalidf1 This was before my decent phone and I'm definitely not a good on-the-spot thinker like that lol. Maybe next time.
Thanks Joel❤
Love this topic! More Karen content please!
Male Karens are called Richards (because Richard's nickname is somehow D!ck), or just Karen. That (calling them Karen) really get's em goin'.
The reason Richard is nicknamed Dick is because back in the day, if two people had the same name nick names would usually be made by rhymes. So Richard would become Rich, which would become Rick, would be come Dick
Karen looks like an alien from They Live. I knew it!
I’m glad story one had a happy ending.
You’re the best!!
All of the above !!!
I would have filled a lawsuit against the PD for 4A, 8A, 14A, 1983 for arresting without investigating.
Imagine leaving a place "to keep the peace" when youve done NOTHING wrong and only that karen needed to be removed. Wtf
It’s funny how people don’t know the difference from being detained, and being arrested.
Man Joel is always on the grind. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t make it through my work from home job.
Karen's have never upset me I think they're fun
These were really good stories
I would have gone off on the lady in Story 7 and I mean it. I'd have told her that if she didn't like it, go to self checkout or another lane so that those of us behind her don't have to hear her complain about how this kid is doing her job. Then I'd say I'm sorry it's been so long since you've worked in store given how ancient you obviously are, but these jobs are hard when you're fresh.
I enjoyed these great stories!!! I love your soothing voice and awesome narration 💙💙 Thank you Joel for all that you do!!! I greatly appreciate you 💙💙
Much love and hugs from South Carolina ❤️ xx
May God always bless you, keep you healthy and safe ❤️🙏❤️
OMG that thumbnail, LOVE IT!

2 of my worst nightmares: Karens and horror
Truly a nightmare from hell
The thumbnail is so cool
The skeletal Karen in the picture looks scarily like me. I even have scrub tops in that color and a white sweater. I'm nice, though, I swear!😇
Hahaha...sure you are....lol
#6 you actually can record anyone in public. Idk why karens think they have an expectation of privacy in public.
Hola mi Joel you’re the man 😎🤘🏽😎
That last one is BEYOND Darren behavior. Its straight up stalker behavior
Maybe he told her that he had stopped escorting and she found out it wasn’t true. The rage of her leaving +him being discovered lead to this horror. Thank you for posting!
I absolutely love your tips at the end!! I'll put stuff off to finish your vids. Shave the bear first? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are, by a long long shot, the best story narrator on here. Love your voice, love your stories, thanks dude!!!😊
This is me fighting the urge to listen until I get ready for bed 😴...
Listening makes me relax deeply thx I love this channel.🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
5:05 I imagine she could be charged with kidnapping as well.
That's what I thought too
the thumbnail is absolutely sending me lmfao
Lady has purple hair and shaves the sides and claims she doesn't care what other people think yet she tells her husband about it and even writes a story lmao these stories are getting harder a day harder to listen to
… she’s used to being looked at for the hair and tatts.
She doesn’t care what they think of her, personally. Or her looks.
She cares about the safety of the children.
As far as ‘telling her husband’ initially when the neighbor first said something messed up.
Yeah…
Ii love it here Joel ❤
yes ♡
"My time is precious" but then precedes to waste time following somebody 15 miles away from her house.. some people man
The thumbnail is glorious
I want more of these stories
Hearing of this impending Karen apocalypse gives me severe agita!!!
We need a sequel to this.
I got so excited at this thumbnail
The higher the fence, the better the neighbor.
As the old saying goes “ tall fences make good neighbors.”
