Karens better beware in case they're dealing with this woman. Not only was she able to successfully file a restraining order against her neighbor Karen, but she also informed her employers and got her fired. That's A+ level sabotage right there.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit, and as many folks in the comments section pointed out, it is much more than your standard petty revenge story. It all started when this new neighbor Karen started throwing loud pool parties until two in the morning every night, annoying everyone else in the neighborhood. it got to the point that OP's mother felt compelled to march on over to her house and confront her in person. This did not go as planned, especially when Karen showed her true colors and unleashed a string of insults.

What Karen did not know, however, was that OP caught her entire outburst on camera. This proved to be especially helpful when OP and her Mom decided to file a restraining order against her and had the documented proof of her more aggressive side. After the judge sided with OP and granted both her and her family the restraining order, matters were made even worse for this Karen when OP contacted her employer. Just like we said at the beginning of this post, we would not want to get on OP's back side.
