‘You can’t publish that': Karen flies off the handle when newspaper publishes her name in print, demands newspaper remove it, boss hangs up on her

Karens with a thin grasp of the law are especially tiresome to employees working who deal with it, and this includes reporters. In this case, OP was working at a small newspaper as a reporter. OP received a (surprise, surprise) complaint from a local Karen who was absolutely livid that her name was mentioned in an article OP wrote. To put things in perspective, OP mentioned Karen's name in passing, so it wasn't like OP quoted her, defamed her, or did anything else that may elicit such an angry response. Moreover, Karen was actually a publicly elected official, and there is such a thing as 'freedom of the press.' Karen should definitely look that one up.

It was literally OP's job to report to the public who is making education policy, but obviously, Karen's personal preference was more important than the public interest. Karen demanded to speak to OP's manager, and that's when she really flew off the handle. Luckily, OP's manager knew exactly how to handle this type of person and promptly laughed in her face, then hung up. Scroll down to read what happened next.
