One woman is sharing advice on how to avoid “neighborhood Karens.”
Although the Reddit user claims she has the “reputation as the neighborhood Karen,” she recently took to the r/Apartmentliving subreddit to eagerly tell people how to steer clear of their own “neighborhood Karens.”
The user said she has lived in the same place for 15 years in a major city and has seen several things unfold before her eyes, from floods to fires. “I have cameras everywhere, and yes, I will turn you in if you’re annoying!” she wrote.
“But what is annoying??” she said rhetorically.
“NOISE AND FILTH,” she declared. “I don’t give a rat’s a** what you’re doing, as long as you are QUIET and CLEAN in the shared spaces.”

“I have complained (with video) probably 20 times in 15 years, and seen 4 neighbors evicted as a result,” she continued. “What did they have in common? NOISE AND/OR FILTH.”
She then turned to the story of four evicted people, alleging, “2 had dogs that barked day and night. One had meth parties at all hours. One was constantly screaming at people (his girlfriend, mom, friends, drunk buddies IDEK) and throwing garbage everywhere.”
The Reddit user also said she hasn’t reported people who respected the apartment community.

“You may say I’m a Karen,” she confessed, before listing who she didn’t report. “The drug dealer 2 apartments away who was quiet and polite. The immigrants who had about 15 people directly above me and never made a peep. The paranoid ganja smoker next door who doesn’t bother anyone,” she wrote.
She concluded by pleading, “JUST BE QUIET. PLEASE!!! I literally don’t care what you’re doing, just hush!!”

Several Reddit users thanked the original poster (OP) for her tips.
“If it wasn’t for my neighborhood Karen I wouldn’t know the entire neighborhood’s drama. Who else is going to call the fire department the second she sees the crackheads starting fires in the woods,” one user joked. “I thank you for your service. 🫡.”
But the OP replied that she actually reported a neighbor’s fire. “Literally I was the first one to realize one of my neighbor’s apartment was on fire,” she wrote. “I saw smoke and went to check it out. Turns out she left a pot on the stove.”
She also added that she once “dragged a toddler out of the pool.”
“The pool was locked for cleaning… that baby climbed the fence!” the person wrote. “I was in my kitchen prepping onions, watching GOT at the time, hearing noise… and got all Karen-y, about to go tell somebody off for breaking into the pool 😭😭.”
