Joyless Karen Is Triggered By A Tigger Flag That Her Neighbor Has, Goes Viral On TikTok

Interview

Right near the top of my list of favorite movies of all time is the wonderfully wholesome ‘Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin.’ In it, Winnie the Pooh, along with his friends Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and Owl go searching for Christopher Robin, who they believe is in danger (though he simply went off to school which they misinterpret as ‘skull’; thanks, Owl!). So when I think of Pooh and the gang, I can’t help but smile and feel like life is utterly amazing. My favorite characters? Piglet and Tigger. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same fuzzy feelings when it comes to these whimsical characters.

TikTok user Tayler, aka Tizzybizzy92, shared a very bizarre tale about how an older woman came to her home to complain about her flag that had Tigger, the tiger from Winnie the Pooh, on it. Yes, the Tigger flag triggered Tayler’s local ‘Karen.’ She posted the interaction with the old white lady on her TikTok account, so go and have a look at how everything went down, dear Pandas. Be sure to let us know what you think about the entire weird situation.

Tayler told Bored Panda that she wasn’t expecting her videos to go viral and have such an impact on TikTok. “My family and I just thought it was funny,” she said.

The internet was shocked to learn how a nosy neighbor complained to a woman about the flag near her house. That flag… had Tigger the tiger on it

Check out Tayler’s full video about what happened with her neighbor

Tayler revealed to Bored Panda that the Tigger flag comes from “a pack of holiday flags from Amazon.” In her family, they’re all fans of Winnie the Pooh and the entire group of friends.

“We are all huge Winnie the Pooh fans. I have a two-year-old, Tariq. He loves to bounce like Tigger,” she said.

I was also interested to get Tayler’s take on what the essence of a good neighbor is. In her opinion, it’s all about who the individual is as a person. “Good people make good neighbors,” she said.

She added that, overall, the neighbors in her local community are great. “We love our neighborhood.”

The neighbor wasn’t shy about sharing her distaste for the flag with Winnie the Pooh’s pal Tigger on it. Here’s what happened

This is what the flag looks like. Personally, I’m a huge fan of it

Tayler’s initial video got a whopping 10.8 million views on TikTok while two of her follow-ups racked up 2.8 and 1.2 million views.

To be completely fair, the neighbor later apologized to Tayler for everything… from her car. Previously, though, she explained that she didn’t like the Tigger flag and thought that it was tacky. She also thought that it reflected badly on the entire neighborhood.

A lot of commenters thought the older woman was way out of line. After all, it’s just a flag. With Tigger! I mean, he’s a fantastic character, the perfect mix of boisterous, energetic, cowardly, and prudent. And the flag brings a bit of cheer to the neighborhood. But that’s just my opinion, dear Readers—you might have a different one.

The key to being a good neighbor is all about respecting the locals and the rules of the community. That means finding a balance between the boundaries that others set for you, as well as the boundaries you set for your neighbors.

However, some neighbors can get very nosy when it comes to how your house and your yard look. According to ‘American Family Insurance,’ how your house looks can affect the property value of the entire neighborhood.

“Don’t be the house on the block known for overgrown grass and dead flower beds. Keep the curb appeal of your home looking its best by regularly mowing your yard, cleaning out your gutters, power washing your home, and picking up the toys scattered on the lawn,” AFI explains that every neighbor should do their best to remember that they’re part of the local community.

The internet thought the entire situation was absurd and lightly made fun of the nosy neighbor

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Don't get triggered by Tiggers, cos Tiggers are wonderful things. Their tops are made out of rubber, their bottoms are made out of springs.......

Are we sure that the old lady isn't actually a bit crazy - like, dementia-crazy? This is not normal behaviour, EVEN in the States.

I was thinking the same thing. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and the stuff that came out of his mouth to others was embarrassing. He once went up to a young married woman at the grocery store and called her a s**t. My grandmother mortified, the couple? Offended at first but completely understanding once explained. But he had no problems voicing is distaste on something to whomever is the one is creating such offence. Still kinda hilarious though and the woman recording handled it so so well. Esp if the older woman is suffering from some sort of brain degeneration disease. But that whole "I don't like it" down to the way it was said was like hearing my grandfather. The specific way she said I don't like that... And the way she excepted defeat....... when this stuff happens it much better to laugh it off then to get mad. Everyone here can be entertained by it all.

I was thinking the same thing. She seems confused. So was it really necessary to post her feeble-minded ramblings on the internet?

I agree. Btw, she's too old to be a Karen, she's more in my age group, a Margaret. A lot of us are aging badly.

If she is demented enough she has no filter, her caregivers need to keep a better eye on her. I think she is likely just a racist who couldn't quite say what she really wanted out loud

Can't say for sure obviously, but anecdotally my neighbours have complained about my daughter playing with our sprinklers in our garden, her drawing with chalk on our own back patio, how loud my car is (it's a normal exhaust on a normal car), the security light is too bright, the bird house we put up (my daughter painted it pink) is garish... I've got dozens. People have nothing better to do.

I wondered the same before realising that the woman answering the door was black. Maybe that explains a lot. Maybe not I don't know. I hope she does have dementia. OK that came out wrong.

When old people have nothing left to do, they complain about everything.

I thought the same. It wasn't soooo bad as to post it and if you think it is worth posting, wait a few days, give her the opportunity to apologize. She just could be suffering from Alzheimer. Patience is the key for the older generation.

Without wanting to find excuse for the old lady, (she was horrible) am I the only one that i don't like the shaming of a person online with her face showing and everything? The story could be told without showing her publicly... just saying..

somewhat agree, but to be totally fair she walked over onto another persons property. They have the right to handle that how they please.

Why? If she has something to say, then she should own it.... And if she doesn't like what others will see or hear, maybe she should reconsider.

I agree with you. But then I also have little time for people who post AITA stories then give such a onesided account of the situation in order to achieve affirmation from a bunch of strangers.

Of course, if you want her to stop harassing the neighbors, it's a Good Thing.

or how about giving her a name that probably isn't her, and shaming that name?
