A catastrophe

When you're so deep in the weeds of your own mess that you think the whole world is ending because your coffee is cold and your pants are on inside out.

When you're so busy turning a small problem into a full-blown disaster that you forget why you were mad in the first place.

When everything goes from bad to worse in one giant mess, like when your plan to look cool by wearing a hat backward ends up with you tripping into a puddle.

When you make a mess so big it feels like the whole universe is falling apart, like when you try to cook and end up burning down the house.

When something real goes from bad to total hell, like a hurricane, or a mayor who thinks the sky is falling and decides to build a wall in the middle of the ocean.

When three or more Karens are together, and they're loud enough to wake the dead and make the coffee machine scream.

When you take a little problem and turn it into a total nightmare, like when you lose your keys and suddenly think you're never going to find your way home again.
