Fed-up college student abandons family feast, leaving relatives shocked as Karen Aunt’s insults finally backfire: ‘I stood up, said, “Merry Christmas, y’all,” and walked out’

Karens are some of the world's most devious personality types. The whole of humanity prefers to avoid encounters with them at all and ward off any situation with a Karen involved. But when the Karen is a family member and the situation is a family dinner - that is an extremely hard thing to do.

That's why, while Christmas is behind us, together with the joys that family gatherings bring. some of us are still in the aftermath of said joy.

The brave original poster of this story, a 20-year-old woman, thought she was in for a merry little Christmas at grandma's house. Little did she know, her dear Aunt "Karen" had other plans. Apparently, Karen decided to play the role of the family's personal fashion critic, nutritionist, and relationship guru all in one night.

From snarky comments about the OP's dress to not-so-subtle digs at her eating habits and love life, Karen was on a roll. But our girl wasn't having it. After enduring a barrage of backhanded compliments and thinly veiled insults, she finally reached her breaking point. In a move that would make any rebel proud, she bid the family a sweet "Merry Christmas, y'all" and walked right out the door.

Of course, except for some cousins who had her back, this didn't sit well with her family who apparently prefer their holiday dinners with a side of emotional cruelty. And that’s where Redditors always come in handy and step-up to the challenge.

The comments on this story are a perfect mix of understanding and support, and witty, sharp, and some downright wicked responses. The kinds of comebacks that make it obvious that some Redditros wish they would be in the situation instead of OP just for the opportunity to use them.
