Step aside, Karen
The trend of branding all angry people as a 'Karen' seems to have been debunked.
A new study has found the top complainers online are actually people named David and Sarah.
It's after Mr.Q: "analysed almost 80,000 negative reviews on Trustpilot and TripAdvisor for some of the most popular brands, dining venues, tourist attractions, and supermarkets, to reveal the people most likely to submit a complaint."
One of the most striking finding of the research was that the list of the top ten worst complainers online was dominated by men.
Sarah took the top female spot, only good for 10th, with the nine others all being men's names.
That doesn't means Karens are totally vindicated though:
"Results show Karens really do complain one of the most online, coming in as the second-highest female name to leave a bad review" according to Mr. Q!
Here's the break down for female names:
Rank | Name | Gender | No. of one-star reviews left |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Sarah | Female | 508 |
2 | Karen | Female | 373 |
3 | Emma | Female | 335 |
4 | Julie | Female | 320 |
5 | Lisa | Female | 297 |
6 | Susan | Female | 287 |
7 | Laura | Female | 260 |
8 | Claire | Female | 259 |
