Leave it up to the Karens of the world to stir up a fuss over the holidays. Here, we have the new residents of a neighborhood who were told by a Karen HOA board member that the cameras they installed (which only pointed at their own premises) needed to be taken down because they were "disturbing the peace."

Thankfully, this Redditor fought back, and after an arduous back-and-forth with the HOA, the association ended up spending over $4,000 in legal fees relating only to their case. By the time the court date approached, the Redditor took down the camera and thus, could not be fined due to a technicality. Still, the HOA had to answer plenty of questions at the next board meeting regarding their financial negligence, and ultimately, multiple board members were pushed out of the association. Karma is a funny thing, isn't it?
