“Karen” Keeps Leaving Notes Complaining About Woman’s Decorations, Woman Responds By Adding Even More
How do you get into the Christmas spirit? Maybe you decorate a tree? Get a sweater? Bake some cookies? Whatever it is, I’m sure you’re not belittling other people just to pet your weak ego and feel superior. This Karen, however, starts the holiday season doing exactly that.
When she spotted a Gargoyle on her neighbor’s porch, she left a note demanding that the woman take it down immediately. It’s not very festive, she argued. Maybe she wouldn’t have done it if she knew how all of it would play out, but I’m kinda glad she put her obnoxious personality on full display—it backfired.
Instead of accepting Karen’s ultimatum, the neighbor decided to up her game even more. Thus, a hilarious feud ensued. And Karen had no chance of winning it.
More info: Facebook
RELATED:
The only thing more impressive than the determination of this Karen to make a fool of herself is the history of the gargoyle. Likely erected as a defense against demons, the stone statues are rooted in religion and steeped in superstition, serving as water spouts. The word gargoyle is derived from gorge, a French word for throat—this is because a true gargoyle has a hollow neck, attached at one side to the building’s gutter system. When it rains, water flows from the roof into the gutter, which directs it to the gargoyle. The water passes through the pipe-like stone structure, and then dramatically falls out of the creature’s open mouth. By directing rainwater away from the structure, the gargoyle helps prevent damage to walls and the roof’s masonry, which, during the Gothic period, became really elaborate. Thus, in order to move the water as far away from the façade as possible, gargoyles are typically horizontally-oriented. Although earlier editions have existed in different cultures for centuries, these figures gained prominence in Medieval France.
During that period, many people looked to gods and goddesses, spirits and ghosts, or other supernatural entities for guidance, fundamental answers to life’s problems, and protection. So no wonder they protected their places of worship from evil spirits by placing supernatural beings on them.
Gargoyles were known to stand guard and ward off evil spirits and frighten away other creatures that meant no good. The more hideous and/or frightening their appearance was, the better these monsters could scare off all sorts of dark creatures. According to some stories, gargoyles come to life at night and act as protectors while one is asleep and vulnerable. They also have wings and can fly around the whole area and cover an entire village or town as well as the church. As the sun rises, the Gargoyles resume their place once more to serve as guardians during the day when their fierce visage can be seen and frighten off those that see their faces.
So when you think about it, gargoyles are very much appropriate and keeping in with the Christmas spirit.

I would put up a board with all Karen's notes on it so anyone who cared to take a look would know there's a coward who can't mind their own business and doesn't have the balls to talk to you in person like an adult.

I'm eager for her to show the HOA "Karens" notes as well as the destruction she did to the porch to innocent inanimate objects. I would love to meet this Grinch in the street if not an ally. She's so stuck up. I also hope that the mayor breaks friendship with her.

Two things: 1. HOA = Club for Busybodies. "oh, your curtains are ivory, not white or off-white" and now "oh, your gargoyles just aren't in the spirit of the season." 2. The season that gave us spirits in "A Christmas Carol" and "Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year's" telling ghost stories. Your neighbor needs to brush up on Christmas.

I absolutely hate HOA Karens. When I was in middle school we moved to an area with an HOA, the Karen: complained that there were still boxes IN OUR GARAGE, 3 DAYS after we moved in, complained that a family with 3 kids left some toys on the lawn overnight, actually came onto our property and moved the plant pots I had spent a whole week lovingly painting to the side alley between our house and the next because they didn't fit with her image of the neighborhood. After that last one my dad told her if she trespassed on our property again he would call the cops. She backed down and my plants were restored to their rightful place in the front yard.

I once had a 6 foot tall t-rex skeleton decoration I put up for Halloween and didn't want to take down after the October event, so I got creative. Come November I got a novelty pilgrim hat for him to wear and a felt turkey hat for him to chew on... followed by the traditional Santa hat with matching scarf, then a black sparkly top hat for New Years before life issues interrupted the chain of seasonal shenanigans. Can't tell you the number of amused chuckles and thumbs-ups I got from neighbors driving by. But I can tell you the number of Karenisms I got... zero. Good for you for staying true to your own sense of humor and decor.

Frank's person had all his stuff on her personal page until he started getting a lot of attention. The pics and posts there were on different days and such. Then she created Frank's own page and to catch up with the events posted several things on the same day. I get that it seems off. A friend shared the woman's page with me initially on Mon or Sun, then by the next day Frank had his own page. I don't know the woman personally but it seems legit.

Where I live, you are only allowed white lights outside at Christmas. I had a strand that needed a bulb replaced, but all I had on hand, was a blue one. That one bulb had the Karen across the street foaming at the mouth. Irked me quite a bit, so I started placing as many colored lights as possible in the windows inside; even had a neon pink flamingo. I thought I was creative in my attempt to stand up to a bully, but compared to you, I don't come even remotely close. You rock!

Awesome Karen burn! If a Karen wants to bitch, then REALLY give a Karen something to bitch about! I see we must share a similar, I say humorous, outlook on life. I used a similar tactic when I was forced to work in food service. It's called," Kill Them with Kindness". When people kept demanding things, one at a time, like," Uh, waitress could we get a straw?", " I'm sorry, could we just get a napkin?" I'd bring a fistful of straws, a stack of napkins 3 inches thick, 3 cups of ice, 2 baskets of chips, and 4 little bowls of hot sauce ( they're small). Yeah. I only worked there a month, so....But. it was fun!

This neighbor needs to learn to mind her own business. I don't care what anyone else's Christmas decorations look like.

I hate it when people start saying that they know important people like that makes them look better. I don't care if you know a mayor, a district attorney, or even a senator, if you're being an asshole people are not going to put up with it.

Fun fact: gargoyle faces were sponsors and backers of the projects. Sometimes flattering for the good guys, not so flattering for the idiots. Basically, a feedback from the workers.

Is the true identity of this blackhearted, entitled "Karen" really unknown? Call her out! IMO she's well on the road to going postal. People need to know. And legally isn't she trespassing and causing damage to private property? Really good thing Frank et. al. have such a good, fun and generous keeper. I admit I would not have been so chill...

The "appellation" Karen has become the equivalent of Bitch. It is rude, it is derogatory and it is completely and totally nothing but an attempt to denigrate someone. Anyone who uses it is doing so because there is NO societal outrage about calling someone a name that labels them. It is the equivalent of using an outrageous name for Black people. And NO my name is not Karen.

What does have to do with Christmas is that gargoyles were for keeping away evil. You should let people celebrate how they want, but also I felt the Santa hat did remedy the situation. It's like the nightmare before christmas! Also it's not ok to assume someone is celebrating death, you could in fact say they are celebrating life. The ghosts of Christmas past was a cautionary tale and interestingly the supernatural and death are not very out of place on Christmas at all. Look at krampus

In my head canon, Karen is actually a nice, funny old lady who saw the gargoyle and thought, "That's great! I wonder what else she can come up with."

I know everyone thinks this is funny. And in part it is, until the use of the name Karen. There are several people here on BP that know my pain, as my actual name is Karen. This is something a fellow Karen wrote, so I can't take credit, but it sums up things for me: I'm sorry if my language offends. I am at the end of my rope, again. **** Everyday... I get a f*****g gut punch! (yeah, I used the f-bomb) Every. Damn. Day I see my name used in place of "bitch, ass, idiot" or worse. And people think it's a hilarious joke. Well, I tell you it's not. It hurts. It levels me. I feel like I cannot tell strangers my real name. I feel like I will be passed over on job applications - as if being older isn't enough to hurdle. I feel like my name, chosen especially for me by my beloved mother, will now NEVER be included in a legacy such as, "I was named after my Grandmother Karen." But whatever, go on, enjoy your f*****g jokes...

Seriously read this article and what this guy writes knowing as you now know, for a fact, that Karens are actually a very real, very large ethnic group in Asia. This is so horrible and racist. I actually wanted to vomit. When you make Karen an adjective and use it as an insult you are being incredibly racist. This is an actual people! An actual identity with a long history! Do not use this as an adjective for an insult! Last I checked we aren't handing out passes anymore for "accidental" racism due to gross ignorance. You all need to look at yourselves very hard. Because you are all, all of you who use Karen this way, racist as f**k.
Reuven Knight 3 years ago
Karens are a people indigenous to Myanmar who face genocide daily in their native land. Why do you feel it is appropriate to take the name of an actual cultural group and applying it to another made up one for the purpose of insulting someone? Do you not understand that that is cultural erasure, a form of cultural genocide? Does it not concern you that you commit cultural genocide against a group in this country that is literally dealing with genocide in their own country? Or were you just somehow that ignorant and you have now learned something which obligates you to stop your behavior and the behavior of others? Because, honestly, now these people are actually getting targeted in certain places because of their ethnicity in THIS country. This is wrong. This is bad. This needs to stop. I'd say before people get hurt, but we are long past that point.

After that last one my dad told her if she trespassed on our property again he would call the cops. She backed down and my plants were restored to their rightful place in the front yard.

It's a funny read indeed, by why are all posts from the same day, even though the text itself implies it's from different days? Something's off....
Jeanie Neal 4 years ago
Frank's person had all his stuff on her personal page until he started getting a lot of attention. The pics and posts there were on different days and such. Then she created Frank's own page and to catch up with the events posted several things on the same day. I get that it seems off. A friend shared the woman's page with me initially on Mon or Sun, then by the next day Frank had his own page. I don't know the woman personally but it seems legit.

Numerous cultures around the worl completely independent of each other have a similar demon-repelling tradition. The Irish jack o'lanterns (carved from turnips) were for that purpose. The idea is not so much to scare them away as to convince them a demon already lives there.

The 'Karen' seems to be projecting a lot in her notes. Not only that, but the '...or you'll be sorry!' sounds like something a little kid would say. I'm also wondering if she's actually 'friends' with the mayor. Assuming someone like this has any friends...

To begin with... O-H!! I came across this story and I'm so glad I did, your awesome! Absolutely hilarious. Bad Karen! She complains about you when she should be thanking you for not reporting her vandalism. Very well done, I love your display. GO FRANK, GO BUCKEYES! Go away Karen! To end, congratulations to you and Frank for the overwhelming success of your food bank fundraiser. Who would have thought. Maybe since she has so much time on her hands, Karen can volunteer at a local food bank, just say'n.

Where I live, you are only allowed white lights outside at Christmas. I had a strand that needed a bulb replaced, but all I had on hand, was a blue one. That one bulb had the Karen across the street foaming at the mouth. Irked me quite a bit, so I started placing as many colored lights as possible in the windows inside; even had a neon pink flamingo. I thought I was creative in my attempt to stand up to a bully, but compared to you, I don't come even remotely close. You rock!

We have a big sit/standing stone lion who gets a nice hat and scarf and dollar store lights for Christmas. My neighbor does the same with her gargoyle.

Awesome Karen burn! If a Karen wants to bitch, then REALLY give a Karen something to bitch about! I see we must share a similar, I say humorous, outlook on life. I used a similar tactic when I was forced to work in food service. It's called," Kill Them with Kindness". When people kept demanding things, one at a time, like," Uh, waitress could we get a straw?", " I'm sorry, could we just get a napkin?" I'd bring a fistful of straws, a stack of napkins 3 inches thick, 3 cups of ice, 2 baskets of chips, and 4 little bowls of hot sauce ( they're small). Yeah. I only worked there a month, so....But. it was fun!

This neighbor needs to learn to mind her own business. I don't care what anyone else's Christmas decorations look like.

I hate it when people start saying that they know important people like that makes them look better. I don't care if you know a mayor, a district attorney, or even a senator, if you're being an asshole people are not going to put up with it.

I was so confused that i did not know what to do until i came across this great Dr online and i contacted him at once i was scared weather it was going to work because i never believed things like this before, so i decided to give it a try and I did all what Dr jumba asked of me and today to my greatest surprise i took in the first time and I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy and now my marriage that was about crashing before is now restored.

Fun fact: gargoyle faces were sponsors and backers of the projects. Sometimes flattering for the good guys, not so flattering for the idiots. Basically, a feedback from the workers.

So, Karen reported Frank's page to Facebook and they suspended the account. How spiteful! And shame on Facebook.

When was it ever anyone's business what other people did with their holiday decoration? As long as it never hurts anyone and it's not illegal, you're allowed to do whatever you want with your house, your porch, and your gargoyles!

Touching your display is vandalism and should be dealt with appropriately by either the police or setup a camera for the internet to see ( Karen ) in action.

What does have to do with Christmas is that gargoyles were for keeping away evil. You should let people celebrate how they want, but also I felt the Santa hat did remedy the situation. It's like the nightmare before christmas! Also it's not ok to assume someone is celebrating death, you could in fact say they are celebrating life. The ghosts of Christmas past was a cautionary tale and interestingly the supernatural and death are not very out of place on Christmas at all. Look at krampus

Love everything about this. My son loves Halloween so bones and skeletons and tiny skulls keep magically popping up on our tree. Christ's birth is the beginning of the story how He triumphed over death. And ever heard if Ebenezer Scrooge and his run ins with spirits and ghosts on Christmas Eve? And there is a movie called the nightmare before christmas. Now what was the main character again? So yeah, I see no problem with adding a little spoop to your holidays.

In my head canon, Karen is actually a nice, funny old lady who saw the gargoyle and thought, "That's great! I wonder what else she can come up with." And then, because it's bad luck to compliment an artist before the work is finished, she started writing notes to spur you on to ever greater heights.

I know everyone thinks this is funny. And in part it is, until the use of the name Karen. There are several people here on BP that know my pain, as my actual name is Karen. This is something a fellow Karen wrote, so I can't take credit, but it sums up things for me: I'm sorry if my language offends. I am at the end of my rope, again. **** Everyday... I get a f*****g gut punch! (yeah, I used the f-bomb) Every. Damn. Day I see my name used in place of "bitch, ass, idiot" or worse. And people think it's a hilarious joke. Well, I tell you it's not. It hurts. It levels me. I feel like I cannot tell strangers my real name. I feel like I will be passed over on job applications - as if being older isn't enough to hurdle. I feel like my name, chosen especially for me by my beloved mother, will now NEVER be included in a legacy such as, "I was named after my Grandmother Karen." But whatever, go on, enjoy your f*****g jokes...

i see the Point with the Gargoyle. but i think she overdid it with the Skeletons. were theyre really necessary? they have nothing to do with Christmas. why did she has to provoke her even more? at this Point its not only the Fault of "Karen" but hers, too. she could just stand over her Notes and leave it be, instead of put more Oil into the Fire. are you calling that the "Spirit of Christmas"? maybe its sound mean, but at this Point i hope she smashed the Gargoyle. she is not really better as the "Karen".

Seriously read this article and what this guy writes knowing as you now know, for a fact, that Karens are actually a very real, very large ethnic group in Asia. This is so horrible and racist. I actually wanted to vomit. When you make Karen an adjective and use it as an insult you are being incredibly racist. This is an actual people! An actual identity with a long history! Do not use this as an adjective for an insult! Last I checked we aren't handing out passes anymore for "accidental" racism due to gross ignorance. You all need to look at yourselves very hard. Because you are all, all of you who use Karen this way, racist as f**k.
Reuven Knight 3 years ago
Karens are a people indigenous to Myanmar who face genocide daily in their native land. Why do you feel it is appropriate to take the name of an actual cultural group and applying it to another made up one for the purpose of insulting someone? Do you not understand that that is cultural erasure, a form of cultural genocide? Does it not concern you that you commit cultural genocide against a group in this country that is literally dealing with genocide in their own country? Or were you just somehow that ignorant and you have now learned something which obligates you to stop your behavior and the behavior of others? Because, honestly, now these people are actually getting targeted in certain places because of their ethnicity in THIS country. This is wrong. This is bad. This needs to stop. I'd say before people get hurt, but we are long past that point.
