She plucked her neighbor’s flowers and replaced them with her own garden flowers. The neighbors called her a ‘Karen’ and have since removed the flowers and replaced them with garish garden gnomes. Here’s the full story.
A Story About a Dispute Over Flower Policies
Anna, the former head of the HOA in her neighborhood, recently shared her story of a dispute over flower policies with Ayla on the “Country Mornings with Ayla Brown” show.
She Decided to Take a Break
Anna served as her neighborhood’s HOA president for several years. But after having her third child, she decided to take a break. She says the person to who she delegated the task to is doing an amazing job and is prospering.
She Proposed a Same Color Flower Rule
Anna mentioned that before she left, she told everyone in the neighborhood that they should have flowers of the same color so that the area appeared organized and neat. And the entire neighborhood agreed and did as requested.
The New Family Broke the Rules
Everything was going well until recently when Anna saw that a new family down the street had planted blue flowers.
An Unfulfilled Priority
Anna wasn’t happy because she had made the flower arrangement a priority before she resigned, and even the newly elected president was entirely on board with the idea.
She Brought It up With the President
Anna brought it up with the president. She assumed the family had missed the memo or the plan. She thought the president would simply approach the family and see what they could do.
Unexpected HOA Charges
However, things turned ugly when the HOA president charged them $100 per plant for breaking the rules. For the six plants, they were charged a total of $600.
She Felt Bad About What Happened
Anna didn’t mean for it to turn out that way and felt very bad. She only wanted the plants to be replaced. Since then, the new family has been sour towards Anna.
She Tried to Make It up to the New Family
So she took matters into her own hand and decided it would be very thoughtful to go and plant six of her red tulips.
She got up early the next morning before they were awake and pulled out their blue plants and replaced them with her red ones.
The Things Turned Really Ugly
But later, when she went out to walk her dog, she was surprised to see that they had removed the red flowers and replaced them with bright garden gnomes.
She Only Has Good Intentions
Anna was a bit hurt as all she really wanted to do was be kind to them.
They Called Her a Karen
They started referring to Anna as ‘Karen’ whenever she passed by them. She tried to say sorry, but they wouldn’t speak to her.
Was She Being a Karen?
The host, Ayla, posted a poll on Twitter asking whether Anna was a crazy Karen or a nice person. The vote ended with 89 percent of voters saying that Anna was being a Karen.
The Final Thought
A Twitter user wrote, “Though I get the intention was maybe good, no one has a right to go on anyone else’s property and change anything.”
