Karen from Brighton wants to walk where she pleases and her Bunnings counterpart does not need a mask. Tik Tok agrees with her rights.
Ah, Karen. The colloquial, catch-all term to describe an entitled, middle-aged woman who can’t seem to understand why her co-operation or understanding is required in customer service or a pandemic.
Poor Victoria’s copping a second COVID-19 lockdown, and residents are being urged to do the essentials in their own suburb, but sometimes exercising in your postcode can get a bit dull. So much so that affluent Jodi Grollo was called out by Premier Dan Andrews for whingeing about “walking all of the streets of Brighton.”
I mean, you can’t blame a woman for being bored, but maybe the alternative of being on a ventilator is less appealing.
Karen is even capitalising on her newly-found fame, via her Instagram that reminds us she’s in one the joke too, supposedly:
Karen’s not the only one with a social media account depicting her experience.
Tik Tok user daniellematthews_ has taken the signature, black puffer jacket and ‘Brarghton’ intonation, as she strolls the streets as Karen singing “I’m from Brighton, shut up and mind your own business, these streets are boring me shitless//I just need a new place to walk to, Oh hi, Prue!”

@daniellematthews_ Comment If you’d like a Bunnings edition ? #tiktokaustralia #karen #savagekaren #karenfrombrighton #melbourne #lockdown #storytime #brighton
Danielle Matthews asks us if we’d like a Bunnings Karen edition in the comments, and Tik Tok user trashlyyyx has got you, fam.
Kerry Nash was politely denied entry into a Melbourne Bunnings store, for refusing to wear a mask. She even threw the book at employees, quoting the 1948 Charter of Human Rights.
“You are not authorised to ask me or question me about it,” she said. “You’re discriminating against me.”
“I actually don’t [have to wear a mask] and you’re not authorised by the Australian Government to even question me about it.
Tik Tok user trashlyyyx becomes ‘Bunnings Karen,’ fully aware of her rights and sans face mask. “Off to Bunnings, No I will not put a mask on, it’s my right to kill who I breathe on// I’m just trying to buy a new chisel, where’s the sausage sizzle?”
I bet she even puts her onions on the sausage sizzle bread first.
If we’re going to mesh international law with the lowest prices guaranteed, then it seems like there’s a missed opportunity here. Why doesn’t Brighton Karen meet with Bunnings Karen to work out a business deal, flogging “I’ve Done All of Brighton” face masks, like the ones from creator Eavesdropper.
Not everyone named Karen deserves to be roped in the same category as these women, so please step up Australia and flood our feeds with positive customer service and pandemic experiences.
Tik Tok depends on it.
