This woman was really grasping at straws here! She refused to be ignored despite the fact that both parties knew she was in the wrong. 

First, her neighbor asked her to quiet down during a Halloween party when she and her guests were also crossing their property line. This was a decent and fair request. Then, she got defensive and accused the neighbor of trying to get back at her by messing with her packages. She even went so far as to call this guy's boss to try to get him in trouble. Of course, it did not stop there. She then trespassed yet again, this time accusing the neighbor of trying to steal her things. When she called the cops, she clearly did not know that the neighbor was going to show them the footage he captured proving that nothing happened. He shared his side of the story via the following thread on Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit. 

For more stories like this, here is one about some office Karens who finally got their comeuppance.

    Karen called the cops on me at my house Someone at TIFU said this belongs here- Ok buckle up. I have a neighbor who owns the place behind mine on a private drive. A couple months ago she threw a Halloween party and had family members driving off-road vehicles all night in circles for a haunted trail. Part of it came onto my property near my house and was keeping me awake.

    So I walked out in my pajama pants and kindly asked the guy driving to stay on their side of the line. He stopped, it was all good. I thought.

    A few weeks later I got a packaged accidentally delivered to my house meant for the neighbor. It was one of those soft Amazon packages, definitely nothing breakable, like slippers or maybe a coat. So I went to that neighbors house and tossed it towards her door.

    Apparently after this she called my work, demanded to talk to my boss, and demanded I be reprimanded. She said I confronted her cousin and yelled at him to stop riding his ORV, and I callously threw her package at her house. Clear exaggerations of what happened. My boss explained that my work has nothing to do with a dispute between neighbors,

    she still wanted him to "talk" to me about it. My boss called me into his office and told me what happened. It was so embarrassing. Plus I work for a notable firm in the area that doesn't appreciate negative PR. I decided not to make things worse and didn't confront her. It was so frustrating seeing her smugly drive by every day.

    Fast forward 4 months to today. I got home from work to find packages on my deck. I brought them inside and discovered one addressed to the neighbor. Yay. I decided to go for my evening walk as planned and figured I'd try to be the bigger man and return the package when I got back. The temptation to be petty was immense admittedly.

    When I came back from my walk I found the neighbor and her older daughter on my deck. She asked me if I had a package. I went inside and grabbed it and handed it to her. I told her I did not appreciate what she did by calling my boss and lying about the details. Well that went about as well as you'd think. She accused me of stealing

    her package and told me it's a federal offense to mess with her mail! I told her I had planned to give her the package but she was stuck on how it was inside my house. She asked me if I planned on throwing it like I did the last one. I told her if anything was broken I'd gladly pay for it. Then she said it... she asked if I wanted her to call my boss again. My heart sank and I told her to do whatever she wanted. She started to waddle away and I started going back into my house.

    Then I heard her yelling at me again. She turned around and started screaming about how I took her mail. I turned away from my door and told her to leave and that she was trespassing. She wouldn't leave! I told her at least 10 times to just go. She kept yelling about calling my boss and telling me she had cameras. Well so do I. I pointed at them and she finally left.

    And then the cops showed up. She is the main reason I put up cameras because of other stunts she's pulled and thank God I got them. I showed the fuzz the footage and they laughed. I guess she reported that I stole her package and threatened her. I showed the cops the video of the UPS guy dropping off the package, me bringing the package inside without looking at it. Now she's been officially trespassed and can't come onto my property anymore.

    But wait, there's more. She called my boss and told him the same lies she told the cops. I sent him the video and he said he understands. Still a garbage situation to deal with. How do you all deal with neighbors from ?

    TLDR- Neighbor accused me of stealing her package, came to my house and yelled at me, called the cops, and is trying to convince my boss to fire me. I swear to God I've never done anything to this woman and I have no idea why she's been hostile since I moved here.

    CindySvensson 12 hr. ago I think people usually go for restraining orders. She is harrassing you and people you know, and has lied to the police about a fase crime. 791 Reply Share

    elphin 10 hr. ago At least a carrier delivered her stuff to you. Does your stuff sometimes go to her? If not, you might take her stuff back to the carrier and tell them wrong address. Let them deal with her, it's their error. 125 Reply Share

    mrdalo OP 9 hr. ago As far as I know she's never gotten anything of mine. I've gotten her stuff at least 5 times in the last few years.
