The "Karen" thing is real.

Yesterday G13 rode her bike over to Safeway to pick up some baking supplies. She wore a backpack so she didn't have to carry a grocery bag in her hand on the ride home. In the baking aisle she was approached by a woman pushing a cart (clearly another shopper and not a store employee) who asked if she was shoplifting. She demanded my daughter open her backpack and show her the contents. Daughter told her to eff off (ok, not literally but along those lines) and walked away.

You hear about Karen anecdotes online, but hearing my daughter relay this story made me wonder: What exactly happened in the rearing or emotional development of women who do this to think it's acceptable behavior?
