Military kids can all agree that moving sucks. After packing up your belongings for the 15th time before you even hit 8 years of age, the whole process starts to become numbing and the idea of a forever home becomes more of a fantastical dream than a reality. However, for some army brats, their dreams come true when their parents get stationed in a long term, or even forever, location. One military family felt the joy of finally settling down in a house all their own, enjoying the wonders of taking root in a home. Until… disaster stuck! Before they could even get accustomed to their new life, the delusional neighborhood Karen came crashing down on all of them. 

While enjoying a nice meal in their new dining room, the newly settled family noticed a strange, lurky woman outside in their garden. Knowing that a person would have to break through 3 gates and waltz confidently into their yard, they were concerned. Dad brought all his military buddies to confront and the woman creepily claimed that the house was hers; she was prepared to fight for it run them out of town to steal the house. 

Not on Dad's watch!

Keep scrolling for the insane details of this creepy Karen who thought that she could just take whatever she wanted from the people to whom the property belonged. Read on for the happiest military ending of all! For more entitled madness, check out this story of how a coworker got revenge on her colleague who was giving her a hard time at work.

    Font - Almost 30 years ago, my dad retired from the army (that's important to the story) and we all moved from the barracks to entirely different county. Not overly fun for me or my sister, because she'd just joined secondary school and didn't want to leave her friends behind and I just didn't want to move again.

    Font - If you're not familiar with the British Army, soldiers used to get 'posted' places, invariably places like Germany, Switzerland, Cyprus etc. It was 50/50 of if the whole family was posted with them, depending on how long they were away for. By the time I was 8, we'd already moved at least 4 times. (that I can remember)

    Font - Anyway, the MOD (Ministry of Defence) used to have old soldiers quarters in places and when they barracks in the areas no longer needed them, retired soldiers and families would get first dibs on the houses. Mum and dad found this house and we set about packing up, again, and moving, again. But this time for good. Yay!

    Font - About 6 months after we'd moved it, we'd almost made it out own and had some family friends over for dinner. We're all in the dining room (oooh, like an actual room, separate from the kitchen and living room?! I know, I was amazed, I'd never seen one!) sitting to eat, and I mean ALL of us. Grandparents, (2 cars), 3 sets of friends (3 cars) us (1 car) so it's very obvious from the outside that the house is not empty and a lot of people are there. Dad looks up from eating and his jaw drops.

    Font - There is a woman just wandering around the garden. She's sniffing the flowers, looking in windows and generally behaving as if the house was a horse for sale, checking it's metaphorical teeth! It wasn't even as if she could have just walked down the side of the house and I to the back garden, she would have had to unlock and open 3 gates.

    Font - Dad (D) goes out, with a couple of his mates (all ex-army and rugby types, big blokes, hard to miss. G and B) and this woman (W) glances at them, then continues poking about the garden and trying to get I to the shed. D: What do you think you're doing? W: I'm looking at the garden. (Bold as brass!)

    Font - G & B: We see that. Why? D: what are you doing here? This is my house. Get off my property. Who do you think you are? W: shrugs My son was going to buy this house. I want this house, I wanted to see what I could do with the garden when he buys it.

    Font - D: stares WTF do you mean, when he buys it? It's not for sale. I live here. W: No you don't, my son wanted to buy this house. G & B: Mate, we're gonna go check on the families and call the police, you ok with her?

    Font - D: Yeah, make sure the kids stay inside. (To the woman) Get off my property. W: It's not yours, it's mine, I live here. (By this point, we've opened the window to get a proper listen and mum (M) has LOST HER SOOT.

    Font - Proper Mama Bear reaction, her 2 babies are inside, along with 6 other kids that she's known their whole lives. She flies out the door!) M: Get my property. Get away from my husband, get away from here. D: Calm down love, it's ok, go inside, I'll get rid of her. W: (with zero sense of self- preservation!) Who do you think you are? This is my house, get away from me, you crazy fat b*itch.

    Font - Dad has to grab mum on the way past before she ends this woman! W: I don't want some unhinged woman in my house. Get off my property. Thankfully, police arrive and escort the woman off the property, telling dad to invest in locks for the gates. Dad's turn to lose his st. He explains, loudly, at length, to police that this woman had to unlock a few gates and shows them how the woman got in.

    Font - As they're getting her to the car, she declared that she'll get us out of her house, it's her son's house, she lives here, she'll get us out. Dad tells police he's pressing charges. Woman's tone changes, suddenly it's not her son's house at all, she didn't mean any of it, she's very sorry, she can't be charged.

    Font - I don't know what came if it in the end, mum and dad wouldn't tell us, but I still remember trying to work out if she was crazy or what, but either way, we still live in the house. And we all still love it. It's got a dining room!

    Rectangle - credfield19 6 hr. ago I understand the frustration of moving so many times! We're not in the military and I can't count the number of times we moved. I went to 3 schools for 6th grade. Glad you finally got a real house.

    Font - Mermaid467 17 min. ago I'm mid-50s and have my first proper dining room. I had a dining area once, but this is the real deal. I admire it every single time I walk through to the kitchen, going on three years now. But I'm turning the hose, and both dogs, on any strangers in my (fenced) yard.
