Not everyone is blessed to have good neighbors in their life. But if not good, at least they should not become a source of pain for others. But these TikTokers are not blessed in that sense and they have a Karen neighbor who has made their life a living hell with her petty tactics and unnecessary drama.
'Looks Like We Got Karen As A Neighbor': Man Gets Into A War With Neighbor Who Zip-Tied Her Snow Fence To His Gutters
TikTok users Chris and Madison are famous TikToker who use their social media to raise awareness about cancer and have created this project where they put the names of cancer survivors or those fighting this disease on a bright sticky note, sticking them to a wall and this way creating beautiful and colorful patterns that commemorate these people.
Though they tend to share interesting content on their social media platform, this time they started sharing multiple videos about their neighbors who were bugging them with their snow fence.
The very first video from the “neighbor saga” that received 32.5M views showed how the family’s neighbor decided she wanted to put up a snow fence and fixed it to their gutters.
The man noticed the situation and so proceeded to cut the fence off as he knew the fence will destroy their gutters. The very next day he talked to the neighbor and asked her not to zip-tie her fence to his house.
While for many, it would seem like a normal thing to ask, the woman didn’t heed his request and proceeded then to pile a bunch of stuff next to the man’s house that would help to keep her fence up.
She was given an ultimatum but she paid no heed to it
The man approached her a second time asking her to remove the items that she put next to his house, giving her 2 days' time too. But she failed to collect them and so the TikTok user removed everything himself.
This game of moving the fence back and forth took a few days, after which the man and his family noticed something that could have been motion sensors. The man shared that he tried to contact the woman once again when she came and tried to put her stuff and the fence back up on their side, but she ran away from him.
The situation only escalated
TikTok user trying to do the damage control
The situation got out of hand when the same neighbor called the police on the TikToker and his family because they moved all of her stuff back to her side. However, this didn’t help as the woman came back and placed all of the same items next to their house.
After the family once again removed her “junk”, the woman called the State Troopers once again. In his last update video, the man shared that “they told her if she does it again she’s getting arrested for trespassing, we’ll see if that stops her,” also adding in the comments that the police advised her to “put a stake up on her property for that part of the fence.”
The videos went viral on social media with many people watching the updates like watching a TV show, waiting for the updates
A lot of them even lauded the man for being so patient throughout the frustrating situation as well as questioning why the woman does that, speculating that perhaps this way she’s trying to make the family put up a fence between the properties.

What is the way to tackle when you come across devious neighbors like these. Yahoo! Finance suggests that one of the most important things is to see whether you’re not making your neighbor act the way they do because you’re “the bad neighbor” by blasting music or allowing your pets or kids to go into their property.
If this is not the case, then try to be friendly with them and approach them in a calm and respectful manner. Another smart way to tackle this situation is to document the things that are out of place or damaged, as well as read some rules and make sure you know what your rights are before contacting the homeowners’ association or even authorities.
As the situation only escalated with the woman not listening to anyone, police were called once again. This time they gave her one more warning before arresting her for trespassing.
