Petty story: my neighbors were having a party next door. I don’t mind but their music was shaking my walls. I asked them nicely to turn it down so my kids could sleep. They turned it up louder. 🙄 so the next morning I let my kids go outside and scream and play and bang on things early in the morning 😂

Had neighbours that kept us awake for more than 2 weeks straight........to the point where one night I was standing on our side of the fence on the phone to the police while the neighbours played music so loud that you could only hear the beat.....you couldnt understand what it was and the ground was vibrating......my husband retaliated by using a shovel to scrape the concrete next to the garage the neighbours had all passed out in........he started about an hour after the music and shouting stopped......oddly enough they were not happy about the noise we were making.....

I don't understand why people are so "in-your-face" and why they can't mind their own business! I was at the beach in the Caribbean back when I was 28 with my husband (30) and his family when a wild Karen walked up to me and my husband. She felt compelled to tell my husband how disgusting he was for "kissing a teenager". I looked young but I didn't think I could pass as a teenager. She was even trying to pull me away to "protect me from the pedophile." The police got called and I ended up showing the police my license which clearly showed that I was 28. She huffed and, of course, declared that my license had to be fake. That was 10 years ago and we still joke that he robbed the non-existent cradle.

Charlotte, I was feeling kind of Kareney today because my neighbors had their car doors open and they were blasting their music so loud that I couldn't even hear my own phone call in my house. I stood on my porch, like a K, and glared. I thought about what I wanted to do instead of just calling the police. I thought about you, and had a "what would Charlotte do" moment. So I walked over there and asked them nicely to turn it down, and they did. Crazy. Simple.💞

[@Rachelay85]

I know, its kinda crazy that can happen. I went to a Statbucks (not my usual one) and ordered what I always order. A cream cold brew. I got a coffee with a few bubbles on top, no cream. Boy was I mad. Bur I walked in, set the undrunk coffee on the counter and kindly said “can I please have a refund?” They asked to remake it, I said “no thank you, just the refund” there was NO issues. I got refunded right away. Weird.

But we don't know the whole situation in these videos, what if the people did try to reason with them originally and could have been very nice at first but then the person recording purposely riled them up to start recording..

[@metalcatmom5891]

As a metal fan, I do not typically enjoy other people's music at the beach and wish they would all use ear buds. I also realize that me listening to my music without headphones would bother other people around me, so I don't. I mostly listen to my music in the car, at home, or with ear buds.

[@malevolentsnow9867]

Agreed. I don’t understand why beaches it’s “acceptable” when in any other public place people would see it as a nuisance, especially since many people go to the beach to relax.

[@Birdbike719]

Thank you! Much appreciated by someone who goes to the beach, camping, etc for solitude.

[@penguinabroad]

Although I don't do this, and also hate it, some people do like to party at the beach and all be listening to the same music and hang out and dance and talk. I get it, and if someone came over, nicely, and asked if they could turn it down a little I think that they should. I do think though, some people are annoying, want to live their life how they want to, and they don't care what anyone else thinks, and to me, it's just easier to move away from them than start a fight, but maybe that's what makes me a non-Karen...

I love the idea of taking over someone’s Bluetooth speaker and just blasting some hardcore death metal over it. I’d enjoy the music since it’s my own playlist, but I’m pretty sure they’d turn down their speaker real quick after that. 😂

[@someoneoncesaid6978]

The fist one, the "investigative journalist" isn't really a journalist (she's a KZbinr) and she wasn't there to investigate anything. She was purposefully being intrusive confrontational to other beachgoers in order to film the confrontations for her KZbin channel. When the police eventually showed up, they told her that even though it's a public beach, other people have the right to enjoy the beach without being harassed, and made her leave the area. That was a much more "Karen" situation, where she kept claiming that she was a journalist and that she was going to sue the police because they stopped her from harassing other people in public.

The thing with fireworks for me, is that they literally scare animals to death. One of my friends has to give her dog sedatives on new years even and sit at home with the dog the entire night because of the fireworks. And it's not even that, that is the biggest problem, it's when people shoot fireworks for WEEKS before and after. There are also a lot of people with anxiety and PTSD that can react really bad to the sounds.... I personally love the looks of fireworks, but i don't put me liking the pretty colours over the health of others.

[@ElizabethTheUnicorn829]

Exactly. July 4th is a nightmare with my poor girl. I think I got a total of five hours of sleep at night in six days. July 1st to July 6th because of fireworks. She was so bad I just stayed awake and held her and had the TV on just so some noise would be blocked. I napped during the day when she napped but the nighttime was terrifying for her.

[@rkirschner7175]

Michigan changed the law after making fireworks legal. Day before, of,after. Agree.

[@penguinabroad]

Agree. We started giving our dogs sedatives as well, and as a small child seeing how scared my dogs were and that we had to drug them, it confused me so much why people did it in the first place. Especially in a desert where most of the time someone would unintentionally start a fire. I even knew people who set some of these fireworks off, and they always said they knew what they were doing so it was fine...and the people who unintentionally start fires probably felt the same way. People are amazing.

Once the public found out they occupied said beach (and bridges the rich had built illegally) and the people won as the city council began to FINALLY investigate in this. 5 out of 7 bridges, including one who had a heli pad, had to be torn down at the owners expense.

This was back in 1999-2000. I was dating another soldier that I had met in training school right after basic. we had been dating for a year when she got transferred to Hawaii. So when I got a chance, I got temp assignment there as well. So we'd been dating for almost 2 years when I got there. (She is Pilipino by the way. 2nd Gen American, Grew up in CA) Whenever we were out at a local beach or local restaurant, I'd get shit from the locals about dating a 'local' girl. I had at least 3 fight when they'd attack me over it. When the police would arrive and we BOTH would explain what was going on, and the police would chew out the locals THEN LET THEM GO!!!... They NEVER would be charged with Assault and Battery. Natives on Hawaii REALLY HATE that 'howlies' would like and try and date the local girls, because it was 'taking away those girls from the local guys'.... what kind of shit is that? IF she wanted to date YOU, then she WOULD have been dating YOU....

Are you white? Cuz Hawaiians are understandably not thrilled at the amount of white folk moving there, and the tourists cause a big issue with their resource infrastructure. Not saying they're right to get in your face, but I get why they look at outsiders like invaders. There's a news story from a while back where a CO hippy cult called Love Wins decided to move to Hawaii and told the locals that their leader was the reincarnation of Pele.

Beach rules: Don't swim where people are fishing and don't fish where people are swimming. If you don't want to be around a lot of people drive farther down the beach. I personally don't like loud music while camping, at the beach, etc., but that's why I drive FAR down the beach. It's not that hard to be considerate of others.

[@kdscraftcorner]

I have to agree. I have hyperacusis, due to my ME/CFS, which basically means I have sound sensitivity. Many sounds seem much louder to me than they really are and truly loud sounds are sometimes almost painful. If I'm at the beach and someone's music is too loud for me doesn't mean the music is actually loud. I'll just move to avoid any issues.

[@tiny._.sxnshine]

Actually this isn't easy in many countries. Mine has only 2 small cost lines and one of them is so heavily influenced by ebbs and floods that you can't really go there. So the beaches are always overfilled. There is no "drive further then" and no "swim somewhere else then". Just do not fish at the beach. Rent a boat or go to a doc but if you fish at the beach you're the a-hole because there is already no space

[@fallabeaufaebelle]

@@JaseekaRawr From my experience, I see fishers at the pier and around it but not just on the public beach where swimmers are. There can be a lot of issues at least from where I've been. People aren't expecting it and can't see the lures all the time if they're swimming, making it more likely the waves can carry the line and someone can get caught in the hook which is really not good. Even if it didn't, releasing the fish in itself isn't bad but around swimmers a bleeding fish can attract sharks. Where I've been, I've seen hammerheads and makos and bulls and tons of species (even some non aggressive ones) which can be a big deal for anyone. Like I'd really like to not get a shark bite because someone was inconsiderate? At PCB in FL where I've been, there's a fishing pier. People do swim around there, but it's very much at your own risk for obvious reasons and imo you can't tell someone not to fish when that's what the area is for. But in a place where no one else is fishing, it can become a serious hazard. IMO be considerate of others? If I was fishing in an area no one expected me to and it attracted a shark that bit someone, that would be awful. I wouldn't want to do that to someone nor would I want it done to me or my loved ones. Im sure different areas have different accessibility for those things, but I'd just hope people take a look at their surroundings and make a proper judgement call.

OMG THE SAND WRITING ONE. In middle school I had a Wiccan phase, and one day I used those little wild berries from our bush to write "draw close to the spirit of the land" on the ground (a quote from one of my tree books or some sh*t), but at some point my super religious condo neighbor noticed it and actually went out of her way to bend down and rearrange some of those tiny little berries in the dirt to change "land" to "lord", and then pointed it out to me later and basically "how cool is that" that the little change could make it about God lmfaooooo. I literally thought it was from animals or weather and just a coincidence that it now looked like "lord", until she told me she did it. She was psycho in many other ways but this is the funniest (the rest were mostly anger-inducing).

I had a neighbor Karen get pissy because I was outside, in the back parking lot, in my car, smoking. She could apparently smell it from her apartment, kitty corner from my car. Literally couldn't be any further away. I later pissed her off because she was taking 4hours to do an 1.5hours worth of laundry, and I shifted it for her. It was on low. She was breaking all but 1 rule our apartment has about laundry. Went off on me, calling me a meth head (I was 200lbs and 6months pregnant), I've NEVER done drugs. Weed doesn't count and it had been like 3 years since my last smoke. She moved out a week later, still breaking apartment rules by blocking the entire back lot with her crap.The apartment requires movers to be parked out front. Just my most recent experience. It was fun getting her all worked up over laundry. She slammed the door on her way out of the room. Lol

I majored in forestry at Oregon State. We had several field trips through several classes. One thing becomes abundantly clear when you visit dozens of parks in a couple years. Places that are free bring the worse kinds of people. With no investment from the land user, their is no consideration for the resource they’re using. This attitude also extends to the way those kinds of people treat other people. “It’s a free place, they should be the only ones there!”

In my state you legally need to be a certain distance from doorways to smoke (public buildings of course). Most people ignore the law and as a non-smoker, it is super annoying to have to fight through a cloud of smoke to enter or exit a building.

This year I found out quite by accident that the cut off for fireworks outside of the 4th in WA & OR is 10 pm so I can understand being a little annoyed trying to get sleep so you can enjoy your 4th of July & being kept up all night by fireworks. My son's dad was going to pick him up on the 4th so we got fireworks to light off on the 3rd, we live in a very tiny town that is very safe so I was a little shocked when we came outside to find two police officers across the rd talking by their cruisers. My son wanting to be respectful walked over & asked if it was ok if he set off his fireworks, both officers walked over & explained that in WA & most of OR the cut off time outside the 4th was 10 pm but wanted to see what we had. I showed them it was just a pack of kids fireworks & they were like oh we really only enforce that rule for the big ones or the really loud screaming fireworks so you can set these off. I explained that my son would be at his dad's the following evening which was why we were out on the 3rd & they were so cool about saying "well this is your time for fun fireworks isn't it" and asked if they could join us for a few minutes. They would block the wind so my son could use the safety lighter & when the wicks on a few were very short & my son was a little nervous they asked if he wanted them to light them which he said yes thank you & handed over the lighter & then they did some confetti poppers with us. Police in our town are very different from a lot of communities, they do enforce laws of course but silly stuff that doesn't hurt anyone they tend to just let go especially if you're polite about it or ask first.

I joined a dying church once. The new, young pastor was trying to revitalize it. The pastor wanted to start live-streaming services. The 20 people in the congregation freaked out. Wanted permission slips filled out, wanted to be able to opt out, the choir didn't want to be taped because they might make weird faces as they reached for a high note. The law in our state allows for filming anything in a "public space". That law is further defined by the statement that "private space is that in which one would normally be comfortable disrobing".

The one that ticks me off is the one insisting someone take their umbrella down. I have ME/CFS which has with it sensitivities to a lot of stuff like sound and light. I'm hypersensitive to sunlight and florescent lighting. I cannot step outside without sunglasses and I often wear them inside especially in stores, doctors offices, hospitals. I also burn extremely easily so I dont take chances. When I go to the beach I usually rent an umbrella or take my own. I have every right to enjoy the beach too. I make sure I don't block anyone's sun and I try to get out to the beach before it fills up so that I can claim a good spot. Usually as close to my car, golf cart, hotel, rental as possible since I'm also disabled and use either a cane or walker depending how good I feel that day. There are some people with ME/CFS though who cannot even stand to leave their room where they live in total darkness due to their light sensitivity.

9:30 i was walking through the drugstore two days ago and bumped into a man who carried some kind of broomstick around. he blocked half the aisle. i ran into his stick and automatically apologized. he then had the nerve to say "better watch where you're going!" i heard a record scratch in my brain. i didn't even have to apologize, but did it anyway and then he had the nerve to be rude, lmao. i just let him be and went on. hope he steps on lego though.

Some of these people “filming the Karens” are just as big of Karens if not bigger. I think I’m starting to realize that a Karen can only truly become a Karen if she encounters another Karen to Karen off with 😆

[@cheekysenorita8476]

I totally agree

[@InvdrDana]

Yeah, in some instances, the people filming keep antagonizing the other person. Once Karen walks away, that should be the end of it. I wouldn't have the nerve to film someone during a confrontation, and I surely wouldn't want to keep pressing them because you never know how unhinged the person might become.

[@maddart4445]

Well put and sometimes the one filming is actually the one that’s wrong and they’re filming the situation escalating.

If a Karen, karen's alone in the forest, is she still a Karen...? hehe

[@thewanderingtomato7674]

I think most resonable things can be asked from people and usually it is the way these people go about it that is the problem and not really what they are asking (example: the loud music Karen). For instance, yesterday I had an appointment and wanted to go by the grocery store and recycle some cans before it. When I got there, there was a guy full of bags of cans and only one machine. I came up to him and asked if I could quickly recycle mine because of my appointment. I was very nice and you know what? He was super nice too and let me go and continue after I left and we both were very pleasant towards each other. A Karen in either side could have made this an ugly situation that had no need to be one.

I can tell you the Oregon Firework issue was in Rockaway Beach. They are usually one of the only towns on the Oregon Coast that does major fireworks along with illegal fireworks on the beach. Everyone who lives or stays down there on a regular basis knows this.

[@amybarnard8026]

We actually have a law in my country that protects us from people intentionally filming others and then posting to social media... And honestly that first 'investigator' seemed to be just as much a Karen 🤣

[@apumpkinsmom]

I'm all for people having a good time, but when people blast their radio/audio so loud that it is heard well beyond their immediate group, that just ticks me off. Most public areas, including beaches do have noise ordinances. The older man was well within his rights to ask that the music be turned down. I've always told my daughter that it's okay to party and and enjoy herself, but it is not okay to infringe on the enjoyment of others. With great freedom comes great responsibility.

[@deniseberman8633]

Just get the cops, most beaches have rules about this annoying behavior.

[@crazy4beatles]

@@deniseberman8633 Agree. It's easier to call the cops and then it becomes a - look at this Karen who called the cops. But if you try to settle the issue directly, you're attacked as a Karen anyway. I get that sometimes people are being ridiculous, like claiming a spot on the beach is their spot. But other times it's a legitimate complaint and it devolves into bullying the person for not just taking others obnoxious behaviour.

[@thectyptid00]

As a regular cigarette smoker, who might i add never litters, I think that vapes and e-cigarettes STINK. When I’m on a beach, I don’t want to smell ur freakin grapefruit flavoured “totally safe” vape just like u don’t want to smell my tabaco. I honestly think that the rules about regular cigarettes should be applied to vapes. No smoking means no smoking, even e-cigarettes. That’s it. If you go on a beach and get hurt by other people asking u to put ur cigarette away, you might need a reality check… Put it away and enjoy the sun just like us peasants who can’t smoke here

[@FoxyMomma4ever]

I couldn't agree more!

[@lisaspikes4291]

I’m old enough to remember when everyone smoked everywhere. At the beach, mall, grocery store, airplanes, hospitals. I’m just glad it’s not like that now.

[@BubblyTeatime]

As someone who's asthmatic smoke and perfume affect me more than others so it is a bit annoying when you're trying to walk to an entrance or something and getting hit by people smoking outside... My asthma got significantly worse when I was in college because all the entrances to get into campus had smoking areas nearby and I found myself coughing more often and while I don't think it's hereditary my uncle died of lung cancer so it's something I think about a lot while I'm coughing my lungs out. I dropped out and I haven't been affected that much since then but my new job has a smoking area near their entrance so it's starting to come back again which is...just great. 😞

[@huginug]

In my country smoking is banned in public, i love it, you have a special areas for smokers where they can smoke and thats about it.

[@midnightshadow2400]

Which country

[@joywebster2678]

I searched for a non smoking apt building. Move in. People smoke "secretly" in their apts, or vape, and surprise it fills the halls, a d gets in my apt, and my asthma flares. I speak to management and they claim that non smoking rule doesn't apply inside each apt! So STOP advertising as a non smoking aptvsince IT medically matters to those of us who cant breathe around vaping and smoking.

[@FoxyMomma4ever]

@@joywebster2678 That sounds like you might have grounds to sue. False advertisement at the bare minimum. You should definitely talk to a lawyer. Most will have free consultations. If you were to win, you could put any judgement money towards incurred medical bills.

[@bcaye]

@@huginug, it doesn't help in the US. A designated smoking area has to be a certain distance from the entrance, but that doesn't matter if the parking area is even further and you have to walk through the area that people are smoking in.

[@phaness_876]

This reminds me of when I was 13 and I was having fun in a park with two of my friends. An old lady came stomping out of her house and yelled at us that we couldn’t play in a public park because we were too loud and she was sleeping. It was like 1pm… We were uncomfortable and left cause she was rude af.

Playing music on the beach bug me...maybe it's different because of where I am from but we have a lot of small beaches and they usually all get full/crowded in summer so if someone was playing music, it would bug a lot of people cos you can't really get very far away from them (and shouldn't need to). Luckily, most people understand that and don't play music.

[@deniseberman8633]

Point being people just don’t have good manners anymore and don’t follow the public or private beach rules.

[@marybethfry1993]

So, I hate when people blast music anywhere. It's so inconsiderate. Not that I say anything; it's not worth a fight. If someone is going to be so obnoxious as to blast music at a level that no one else can enjoy any peace and quiet--or even their own music on their earbuds--then confronting them will get you nowhere. I get, though, that people can become frustrated and lash out. Still, not worth it.

[@blush106]

The first video... honestly could not tell who was supposed to be the Karen. I think it is definitely reasonable to ask someone not to film you and your children. You're not asking them to stop filming, you're asking them to stop filming YOU. Glad other people in the comments are talking about this.

[@endeeray4295]

I agree, filming someone for no reason is truly inconsiderate and rude. I do think the woman was asking to not film her kids. You never know if its a sex trafficker looking for kids to ID and locate later. Especially since the alleged "investigative reporter" offered no verifiable information about why or for who she was filming. I'd have called the police.

[@CertifiedSealLover]

Agreed I can’t believe she’s getting called a Karen for not wanting someone filming her children in bathing suits

[@deniseberman8633]

Perfectly legitimate to ask people not to film you. Sometimes you’re filming the surrounding area and someone just happens to be in the shot.

[@akmal94ibrahim]

Agreed. It depends on whether she was filming (like a vlog or something) and the kids just happen to be in the background or if she was directly filming the kids. If it is the latter, I would be very wary of that potential pedophile. Filming kids on the beach who are in their swimsuits is creepy behaviour.

[@TexasLadyS]

It is creepy to be circling the kids and filming them in that way and I would tell her to stop too. However, she really doesn’t have to. The US Supreme Court ruled, several years ago, that you have no expectation of privacy when you’re in a public space and there was no provision made regarding age. So, creepy or not, the law is actually on her side because no one needs your permission to take video of you in public and there’s nothing you can do about it. You can ask them nicely not to but, it’s up to them whether or not they comply. Your only recourse is to leave the area.

[@joyblackford1372]

I was at a huge state graduation in May and watched a "Karen" argue with a police officer who was directing traffic. I heard home say "I don't know what to tell you ma'am but I am the police so..." 😝 She had her phone out recording him... The parking area she wanted to park in was full... It was maybe a half hour to hour before the start... Of course it was full!

[@peanutross445]

100% people need to stop going up to people telling them to stop the vape when they are clearly in their own space but Charlotte, you mentioned a door... some crappy building have the intake for the whole building ventalation coming from above the doors which means that the smell could disperse throughout the building. So I would only say stay 20ft away from doorways.

[@lauraelliott6909]

Also important to stay away from air conditioning units when smoking or vaping. It just pipes it right into the building.

[@carolineschofield5811]

I don't go outside to nature (beach/hills/woods etc) to listen to other people's shitty music taste. It's intrusive to force me to have to listen to something just because you want to listen to it. In a shared space I think people should be mindful of intruding on others and not blast music. Get headphones if you can't bare the peace or at least keep it down so not to annoy others.

[@akmal94ibrahim]

This. I once hiked almost an hour to get to a waterfall and when I reached it, there was a group of men playing music right next to the waterfall while smoking. Ruined what would've been a rewarding peace and tranquility. I didn't dare be a "Karen" since there was only me and my gf, and a bunch of them.

Scooch away, I guess. They have just as much right to listen to it as long as it's not violating any noise law.

Literally just leave if it bothers you so much lmao, people are allowed to enjoy music whether it’s up to your standards or not, especially on a beach where there’s typically so much space to go, no one’s forcing you to stay and listen to it 🤷‍♀️ You’ll find it’s easier to live when you just let people do things that literally causes no harm to you
