Karen Thinks My Porch Is PUBLIC Property & Trespasses To USE My Private Jacuzzi!

[@merlinathrawes746]

Jacuzzi story: Once Karen refused to immediately get out and leave, you call the police and have her trespassed. The next time you have her arrested. Once you had locks on the gates (and I hope you had put up no trespassing signs as well), how was she getting in? Climbing the fence/gate or picking the lock? I would have had a camera on the gate as well.

I'm more evil, I'd adjust the chemicals in the jacuzzi. They are just like pools, they need certain things in it for it to stay clean.

[@earlinejackson8151]

I’m 74 yo and I would have pressed charges on the the trespasser, immediately. Being old is not an excuse to infringe on other people’s property. If she’s mentally incompetent, then she needs to be in a facility where the professionals can watch her.

PSA: Always have security cameras if you have an HOA or Karen anywhere in the area. Always immediately call police if crimes are committed against you or your property. Story 1: Always call the police immediately and each & every time she trespasses. You then get a Restraining Order placed against her to simplify and future contact from her.

[@lenorevanalstine1219]

not calling the cops in the first story was absolutely stupid

[@sst1911]

Story 3: remind the HOA of United States flag code. They are violating the law by telling you that you can't fly a flag.

[@thieupham493]

No, that's too simple, you must formulate a strategy to get your enemies to turn against each other. You file a discrimination lawsuit against the Karen and the HOA and get the entire neighborhood to file with you. Then you cut a deal with the HOA to allow them to be removed from the lawsuit as long as they were all willing to step down and throw Karen under the bus or you will bankrupt the entire HOA, forcing them to be disbanned. I believe in only striking once.

[@Warrickomega]

@@thieupham493 The neighbourhood gaining Military family representation in the HOA Is.. an outcome which helps but HOAs really have too much overreach unless you have the tools to fight back.

[@thieupham493]

@@Warrickomega This was one good outcome, but HOAs are the brainchild of a corrupt industry that seeks to exert undue control over the lives of others. Can you honestly tell me the first HOAs weren't created by a bunch of White men? They have always been a tool used to keep certain elements out of a neighborhood. This is why they attract a certain type of person to run one. Please find me a single bad HOA story that starts with a Laquita and not Karen.

[@vernonharden]

The second story, when the malicious compliance didn't work the not so revenge got the job done, and someone went through the door talking to themselves.

[@browniewin4121]

1) OMG, the entitlement of this neighbor is astonishing. I would immediately call the police and report a trespasser, I think it was stupid not to. But it's good they attach locks and put up cameras. Again, stupid not to call police and file charges, but at least they finally did and turned over their recordings to prosecute her, and it's good the HOA used this to force her out of the neighborhood. 2) It's too bad things went badly and the good boss was let go and an AH replaced him. Good for OP for the excellent MC and giving the AH what he asked for, and for the much deserved revenge. 3) Absolutely disgusting to rip off other's food, especially for the boss and his son to do it. Good for OP's figuring out a good revenge. 4) So glad the husband & father was coming home and they could celebrate it. Too bad the HOA was being so excessively controlling. It's good OP knew the rules and didn't let them get away with bullying her. It's good the military families planned how to throw out this HOA board and make it more reasonable and representational. Nice to see a happy ending.

[@leighreganarblaster9852]

I think this neighbour knew then Jacuzzi was private property and fence because she clam always use the Jacuzzi when Op and her husband at work. This neighbour clam public property because neighbour should share but anyone just private property as private property as public property and neighbour share, this neighbour would call the 👮‍♀️. Op should call the 👮‍♀️ because she was spying on them like a creep

[@rynieryarom4277]

That IT story was satisfying 😂

[@Urrarg]

Story 3: I'm glad they dealt with it in the end. But I'd have taken pictures of the welcome home sign (which the public would love) and post the story on social media calling out the HOA for being against military families (which the public will hate). They'd probably back off once they start getting public backlash.

[@BWGPEI]

Definitely, call the cops and charge her with break & enter.

[@dianedefalco948]

Great food thief story! Served him right steeling is bad enough but I'm sure he was paid enough to bring his own food

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

HOA Sign Story: If I was OP, I'd have complied with their demand I take down the sign in my yard and promptly put it up in the front window so it's still easily visible from the street but outside the Jurisdiction of the HOA because their Authority ends at the front door...They can tell you (within limits) what you can and can't do to the Yard, but they can't tell you what you can and can't do inside your home, shed and/or garage EVEN IF IT CAN BE SEEN FROM THE STREET THROUGH A DOOR OR WINDOW!!! so they can dictate the colour of the paint on the window trim but not the colour/style of the curtains inside the window... Also, in Canada and the USA, an HOA can't stop you from flying the National Flag (Maple Leaf in Canada and Stars & Stripes in the USA) on a Flagpole that meats Minimum Building Code... Violation Notices MUST be sent be Signature Required Registered Mail, it can't be delivered by anyone other than the local Mail Carrier...same with Fines...that is State Law EVERYWHERE in the USA (and Provincial Law in Canada)...

[@michaeltelson9798]

Here’s a legal definition set by the SCOTUS. The area of a property adjacent to or in close proximity to a dwelling is the curtelege. It has the same protections as to requiring for warrants for search or arrest as the interior of the dwelling. Courtesy, even to law enforcement, is given to knocking on the door. That courtesy can then be removed and the person(s) including law enforcement are then trespassed from the property.

[@Dragon_Werks]

When I worked at the local paper in college (in the bundling room, assembling the newsoapers) there wasa lunch thief who targeted Subway sandwiches. This got old really fast, so 2 of the supervisors, both US Army vets, decided to tackle the issue in house. They got everyone to pool their money and buy a Subway Cold Cut Combo with lots of onions and hit peppers, which seems to be the thief's preferred prey. They got it without any condiments, and proceeded to grind up a full box of laxative pills in some spicy mustard, which they then applied very generously to the whole sandwich. They placed it in the communal fridge in the break room and waited. Sure enough, it vanished. About an hour after lunch, one of the temps on the stuffing machine (it inserts ads into the paper) suddenly bolted for the latrine, desperately holding his butt cheeks closed with both hands! He came out of the latrine @ 30 minutes later, only to be met by the supervisors, who tokd him he was fired, that he had to pay for all the lunches he stole, and he was barred from ever coming back. At another place I worked, there were two thieves. One was stealing lunches, and, when he got caught, he was taken outside and beaten, forced to repay those he stole from, and fired. The other one was a 3rd shift worker who was stealing the partial 2 litre Mountain Dew bottles our 2nd shift supervisor would leave in the fridge at the end of the night. He solved that issue by taking the bottle into the lateine with him one night and "topping it off" with what he called "Man Dew"! LOL! Yes, he pissed in the bottle and put it in the fridge. He never had another bottle stolen. We never did find out which scumbag was stealing his sodas though.

[@williamjones7821]

Call the police the first time you find her in your Jacuzzi. Get surveillance camera immediately after (you can secure a car's dash cam to the inside window if needed. If there is an HOA, go to the HOA immediately. If necessary, have someone hide in your house while you are at work, and call police on her for you.

Then that I had better never ever find or find out they'd been the on the property again. As far as calling the police it wouldn't have take me long to do that either. The police wouldn't hear that type of nonsense either.

And yeah OP, why the heck didn't you call the police after the first time you found her inside your property? And how are her and her friends getting into the back yard if the gate is locked?

⭐😎⭐ First offence, have hot tub Karen trespassed. Should have had locks on gates, day 1 of hot tub, it's attractive nuisance; cameras installed too.

[@JennyEverywhere]

A locking lid couldn't hurt. If she defeated the lock, there's another charge. Put "PRIVATE JACUZZI! NO USE UNLESS GIVEN EXPRESS PERMISSION AND OWNERS ARE PRESENT!" right on the lid in big red letters. Maybe rig a very loud alarm to that lid, so if Karen managed to jigger the lock, the alarm would rouse the whole neighborhood. Get a security contractor to monitor the Jacuzzi alarm and call police if triggered and they aren't called to report a false alarm. Maxim 37. There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload.'

[@razrramonel4077]

I would have called the police for trespassing and vandalism and terrorism.

[@crustycurmudgeon2182]

Jacuzzi Karen: I would have called the cops on her and had her trespassed after that second time. I would then get a restraining order against her. More than just her actually being there and using the tub, her entire attitude was absolute entitlement-- a harsh lesson in reality was due. Oh, and... Edit: Ripe sort of got to this, but I'm rather surprised that the offender wasn't an HOA President (for a change), and the HOA actually put its foot down against this insane witch!

Look for the “welcome home” story I understand being excited about your deployed partner coming home but having a large sign OUTSIDE your house after like 10 days loses all excitement I have for you and I go from a excited “oh that is so amazing” to an unfeeling neutral “ok.” It is equivalent to stores setting up for Christmas in October. By December I don’t care it is Christmas season besides for certain family traditions.

[@JennyEverywhere]

That's ok, I feel it's safe to say that they probably wouldn't be all that enthusiastic about you right now, either. The damn sign was only half the listed size limit, so it couldn't have been all that big. Just keep your eyes on the road, and the naughty sign won't leap out at you and trigger you.

[@MyCarhuggerShow]

[@trevorhilyer]

On the last story, I would find out who put the letter from the HOA board and then report them to the postal police, as it is illegal to put things in mailboxes without a canceled stamp or bulk stamp and it has to be done by a mailman. If you also catch someone vandalizing your mailbox, they can be arrested too. There are postal regulations on these two subjects.

[@Jasonfallen71]

I am super duper on the side of the military wife&fam but having the banner up a month early does seem excessive even to me. I personally think the week before and several weeks after soldier arrives is quite a good limit. A month outside will make it look ratty and I would not want that. Put it up inside for three weeks before and only one week before homecoming does the banner go outside. I think that would show OP’s husband the most respect. But ultimately I feel for OP and her situation as a military spouse. I would be angry if my HOA was being nasty to her about this kind of thing. Nothing more than a gentle discussion is called for.

[@Jasonfallen71]

At 4:42 into jacuzzi story I already hate OP and the hubby as much as the intrusive idiot neighbor. CALL THE COPS FIRST TIME or screw your private property and peace of mind. Call the cops the second time and the third. How can they not lock and bar the gate?!

Back when I worked in a call center, we had a pregnant woman who would show up late constantly. A co-worker was nice enough to gibe her rides, she never paid him for gas. So we found out one day that she was taking lunches out of the breakroom fridges and eating them. A supervisor caught her, we discovered everyday she punched in pate she was stealing lunches. She thought food in the fridges was for anyone even if there was a name on it. The day she was caught she was eating my lunch, I had bought two sandwiches at a local sub shop and it cost me $20 (this was pre 2K). She ate one and was halfway theough the second when discovered. While she was being fired the front desk called the police and she was arrested for theft. Lunches never vanished after that.
