HOA Karen Parked on My Lawn Every Day—So I Turned It Into a Swamp Trap EntitledPeople Reddit

Every morning at 7:02 a.m. sharp, the same faded white SUV would rumble across the neighborhood, screech awkwardly around the corner, and plop itself right onto my meticulously maintained front lawn, the tires flattening the crisp green grass I had spent months nursing into suburban perfection, and as I watched from behind my kitchen blinds, coffee mug trembling in my hand, I thought, "No way she'll do it again tomorrow," but oh, how wrong I was, because Karen—our neighborhood’s self-appointed 'Community Standards Advisor'—had decided that her convenience mattered more than my property rights, and that first day, she left a passive-aggressive note in her windshield that said, "You should be honored to help your neighbors," taped right next to her expired HOA parking permit like some kind of royal decree, but when I politely mentioned the damage to her after catching her unloading shopping bags three feet from my tulips, she waved me off with a huff, proclaiming loudly enough for passing joggers to hear, "It's common property if it's outside your door, sweetie," a declaration so absurd that even the squirrels paused mid-scamper to exchange bewildered glances, and the next morning, the SUV was there again, this time speckled with mud that sloughed off and embedded into the lawn like little brown grenades, and soon, without a hint of irony, Karen began citing fake bylaws, referring to the "Neighborhood Overflow Parking Freedom Act"—something that did not exist outside her entitled imagination—and leaving pseudo-legal notes quoting phrases she clearly cobbled together from late-night TV court shows, while I gathered actual HOA documents proving her wrong, none of which she bothered to read, scoffing that "those papers don't apply to important people," a term she evidently reserved for herself, and within days, it wasn’t just parking; Karen was now using my lawn as a shortcut to reach the main road, carving ugly, brown tire trails so deep that small birds got stuck trying to cross, all while she blasted a Facebook rant accusing "certain selfish homeowners" of "not supporting communal spirit," which racked up exactly three likes—two from burner accounts suspiciously named KarenLuvr and HOAQueen69—and one from her visibly exhausted husband, who always looked like he was calculating the exact number of days until early retirement, but still, I tried to stay civil, suggesting we set up a Disclaimer: The stories on this channel are for entertainment and comedic purposes only.
