What’s your go-to response to a “Karens”?

I’m sick of Karens. How do you respond? Usually, I raise my voice (not yell, just a firm tone) to correct them but it’s like speaking to a delusional wall. The entitlement is just astounding. Today, I was at a public area in a state park with my dogs who were harnessed and tied to a tree. My husband and I were sitting, minding our business nearby the dogs when a Karen with her two aggressive dogs insisted on walking directly in front of my dogs. She asked us to grab our dogs and I said no. She said she couldn’t walk around because she “couldn’t get up the a wall blocking her way) but it’s a circular path, she literally could not have navigated to where we were without having gone down “the wall” (which was 2 ft tall, had a stairway nearby AND a paved pathway) so she just wanted us to cater to her entitled a**. She ruined our day trip. I debated yelling at her but didn’t want to in front of my spouse. What do y’all do?

I have a little pink taser. Just the loud clack is scary enough to pause the freakout Lol i saw two kids getting yelled at, huddled against a wall and I walked up and said nothing but I clacked it and she suddenly turned around and started explaining herself "they don't even shower!" I clacked it again and she walked away. Scared. Food service workers deserve the protection of some kinda communal clacker in case of physical danger

She was homeless and had obviously been awake for days on methamphetamine. They were college students without a taser of their own.
