Idk if it's a "Karen" if it's legitimate.

Isn't a Karen specifically an entitled outburst over something minor?

I mean. The wrong grade. That's a con. That's something to be angry about.

Yeah, from what I remember the real translation is actually a very legitimate complaint.

Edit: From Wikipedia:

"The tablet details that Ea-nāṣir travelled to Dilmun to buy copper and returned to sell it in Mesopotamia. On one particular occasion, he had agreed to sell copper ingots to Nanni. Nanni sent his servant with the money to complete the transaction. The copper was considered by Nanni to be sub-standard and was not accepted.

In response, Nanni produced the cuneiform letter for delivery to Ea-nāṣir. Inscribed on it is a complaint to Ea-nāṣir about a copper delivery of the incorrect grade and issues with another delivery; Nanni also complained that his servant (who handled the transaction) had been treated rudely. He stated that, at the time of writing, he had not accepted the copper, but had paid for it."

Nanni was apparently very angry.

OO just likes sub-quality ingots.
