This is a bit past the topic at hand but people who are part of an HOA should be hanged. Change my mind.
How about instead of bitching online and wanting to try to get their neighbor in trouble, Karen grows a pair and goes and has a civil conversation with the neighbor. If they are as friendly as stated, that would be the adult thing to do.
It brings up the question of environmental conventions.
Like imagine you lived in one place in the world, then moved to another. Certain expectations of behavior would almost certainly be super different.
Let’s say something you do isn’t the norm there, but was the norm where you moved from, and that thing you do bothers other people.
Whose responsibility is it to act?
Yours, who has just moved somewhere new and different?
Or theirs, who are irritated by the behavior or thing?
It’s funny I was just talking to my oldest, who said “I never feel more like a middle aged Karen than when I have to call the non emergency police line about something going on” and I said “I don’t know how I didn’t manage to raise you with a healthy fear of the police. I have called them once only.”
I remember what I called them about, too. The police helicopter was circling and circling and the baby (same one who is the woman in the comment above) kept crying because she couldn’t sleep, I called 911, asked for the non emergency #, called and asked what the heck was going on, told them if they were chasing someone they had lost them. They put me on hold then came back and said it was training! I told them it had been hours and my kid couldn’t sleep. It did end soon after (probably nothing to do with my call) and hopefully at least let them know it was problematic.
All the trees leafs falled into my lawn and know I need to rake it
All the
treestree’sleafsleavesfalledfellintoonto my lawn andknownow I need to rake itThat hurt to read. Please encourage your children and neighbors to learn how to read and write. You can’t even blame autocorrect because neither leafs nor falled are words in English.
Also, “i have to rake it”. Do you though? What did the Earth do for the millions of years before we came along with our goddamned rakes? Just a global flood of leaves, I guess.
Considering they’re in a neighborhood with a HOA, they might have to rake the leaves or get slapped with a fine. Many HOAs are strict about lawns.
Not saying they’re justified in trying to get their neighbors evicted. I’m just playing devil’s advocate here.
I hate air pollution and second hand smoking so I’m on Karen’s side of this. Smoking affects people around you as well.
Air pollution lmao
Dumb top reply considering all of their complaints are about stuff that is not contained to the neighbors property, except the google fiber thing which is just bizarre.
As soon as you’re making other people smell and hear something you’re making it their business.
I hate people who consider trees nothing but problems. Such people should be cut down.
Should contact the FCC about theír illegal solicitation of being the first neighborhood to get Google fiber?
Fake rage bait 🤷♂️
I also did a double take on that sentence, what an odd thing to say.
Revving your engine every time you come home is asshole behavior though.
I was thinking the same, I’d like more context though, if it’s a quick throttle blip (or like if they’re driving stick and need to reverse the car up a slope) could be understandable. If they’re bouncing it off the rev limiter for a minute that’s a different kettle of fish. Given the rest of the post I’m erring on the side of it being blown out of proportion.
I’m going to guess it relates to their neighbour trying to get the mayor and 911 to evict them from their legally owned home…
Sounds fake as hell tbh
No one has ever had a bad neighbor? Or no one has ever complained about petty bullshit on Facebook? Or Karens aren’t real?
That is not what I commented.
Why are so many arguments on the Internet started like this where a specific, qualified claim is made and then the response tries to pretend a universal, unqualified, ridiculous claim was made instead?

And?

Not sure how this is relevant considering you didn’t make a specific, qualified claim. Saying something “Sounds fake as hell tbh” isn’t a qualified claim by any reasonable metric. If you had instead said, “This sounds fake because <reason>” that would be qualifying your claim.
That a particular post “sounds” fake as hell is indeed a specific, qualified claim.
I’m not saying that nothing similar ever happened at any point in time which is what you’re trying to get me to defend. I’m saying that this particular post sounds fake as hell.

No, it still is not. Qualifying a claim means to carefully scope it and be honest about its limits rather then using a all-encompassing assertion. Saying something sounds fake is not a qualified claim. Saying something sounds fake because many of these ‘Karen’ types of posts are faked on the internet would be one method of qualifying your claim (albeit poorly), while providing specific details about why you believe this one in particular is fake would then be supporting your claim (just to head that argument off.). I encourage you to actually look up some examples of what a qualified claim is if you’re going to try to argue what is and is not one.
I’m not saying that nothing similar ever happened at any point in time which is what you’re trying to get me to defend.
I pointed out numerous counterexamples that we can both agree happen to showcase how this post could be true, which just showcases how your post lacks qualification. Your post was an absolute claim; It doesn’t acknowledge exceptions or counterpoints that one might make.
I’d recommend you bow out of this one, it’s abundantly clear that you’re in over your head here. Or you can keep arguing on the internet about how you’re arguing on the Internet, I’m not your dad. Just some dork who has as much or more free time as you do.

I’d recommend you see a shrink because you’re escalating the importance of yourself and of one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever seen.
Should I block you now, or after the next wall of text you produce?
“nowing their they’re” makes it pretty obvious it’s fake
Not really. They use there wrong early on in the rant. If anything, stuff like that makesit more believable to me.
Those are indeed asshole neighbours. You’re posting it because you think she’s wrong?
Buying a sports car to be noisy with it is drug dealer behaviour
Especially in a neighborhood. I used to live in this one apartment that had the worst other residents. Like, don’t blast your music in the middle of the night? Don’t smoke indoors. Don’t burn the building down. Take out your trash, ever. And don’t use a subwoofer, I cannot believe the amount of people who think this is okay EVER, or in the middle of the night. It wasn’t a small building, too. Using a sub for hours in the middle of the night had to have ruined like a hundred different people’s sleep.
in defense of kansas karen, having a neighbor that smokes weed all the time sucks. that shit reeks ass from a block away.
I think it smells heavenly, so that’s subjective. I’d probably get along better with my neighbors if they were smokers.
… Why are you defending Karen anyway??
Because there’s nothing wrong with people who don’t want to smell something they find offensive all the time.
I find the same thing with cigarettes tbh. I wouldn’t mind my neighbour doing it if she didn’t smoke my old brand, though…
Not that I’d ever say anything
This is the first time I’ve seen a red circle without knowing what it’s supposed to be indicating. It centers on the number of shares??
I think it’s to link “I want them to move” and “I need them out yesterday”
I think it’s to point out the first comment having more likes than the post itself.
People agreeing? Yeah idgi either
I started looking at Nextdoor recently and some of the people are just wild.
I’ve had a great amount of fun trolling on there with a pseudonym and AI-generated selfie. Been doing it for years. You do have to be careful with it, as they need a verified address, but there’s still a ton of latitude to be weird and fuck with your neighbors’ heads a bit.
This is pure Kansas City Karenness.
