How would you react if your neighbor’s house burnt down but everyone who lived there was okay? Would you be happy about it or upset?
In this story, one homeowner is trying to help out by holding one of the neighbor’s pets. But another neighbor, a Karen on the HOA board, has a completely different reaction.
Honestly, as much as HOAs are awful and Karens are awful, this HOA Karen is so awful there isn’t even a word for it.

Neighbor’s house burnt down, HOA Karen celebrated before the flames were even out
Just as the title says.
My neighbor’s house burnt nearly to the ground tonight — all humans and pets are safe thank goodness.
As I was standing on the sidewalk holding one of the dogs to keep him calm HOA Karen comes up to me and starts chatting, introduced herself.
Fine. Whatever.
Yikes! This is a horrible thing to say even for a Karen.
But she then spewed one of the most vile things I have ever heard someone say: “well, it might be too soon, but I’m going to say it anyway. Good riddance to the neighbhood eyesore.”
I literally glared at her in disbelief and threw her *all* of the shade I could muster, and I told her that it is, indeed, too soon and that I can’t imagine thinking that when we watch our neighbors have the worst night of their lives.
I’ve never wanted to be involved in the HOA before tonight, but now I might just to spite her and bring humanity to the board.
I’m open to any and all suggestions for things to say to her the next time we cross paths.
That woman is completely heartless.

This is what I was thinking. She could be a suspect.

Karen really shouldn’t have said that!
I’m honestly wondering if she started the fire to get rid of “the neighborhood eyesore.” She probably didn’t, but it’s pretty messed up to be happy about someone else’s worst night ever.
