Imagine moving to a neighborhood where there aren’t any “no parking” signs on the road. What would you do if you parked on the side of the road, but your neighbor claimed you can’t park there? Would you move your car or leave it there?

In this story, one woman is in this situation. Her boyfriend parked his truck on the side of the road assuming that was perfectly fine, but her neighbor claims they can’t park there.

Now, she’s not sure if she’s a Karen or if her neighbor’s a Karen.

Keep reading for the whole story.

My neighbors called the cops because a visitor parked on the road instead of in my driveway

I live on a dead end road.

There is no ordinance(I just checked), no “No Parking Sign”, and the road is wide enough for 2 cars to drive past each other safely.

The speed limit is 25mph and people drive est. 45-50 mph.

Here’s some more context.

I will add the context that I live about 1/3 of the way down the road.

I will also add the context that we have visitors every few weekends and sometimes a car gets left on the road or small trailer.

I recognize that it’s annoying to have to slow down when you’re cruising and have another 3/4 of a mile to go but in my opinion that’s all it is… annoying.

Here’s the problem.

So my BIL was parked in-front of my house. He was visiting for 36 hrs. His truck was parked on the road for probably close to 20hrs.

The driver side wheels were 2/3 on the pavement with the rest of the truck being in our grass (there is a sewage drainage system that slopes and he couldnt park any more off the road).

One of my neighbors pulls up next to BIL on a side by side and tells him he can’t park on the road and the cops have been called.

She’s not sure who is in the wrong.

We’ve lived here for 1yr 8ish months.

I don’t see vehicles parked on the road often but it happens sometimes.

Are we the neighbors from hell or was this just someone being a Karen?

I’d double check with the city if it’s okay to park on the side of the road there. If it is, then they didn’t do anything wrong.

Let’s see what Reddit suggests.

Another person has a good question.

I’m curious what the police said too.

Everyone agrees that the neighbor is a Karen.

Considering she’s not 100% sure whether or not it’s okay to park on the side of the road, I’d wait for the police to show up and ask them. Make sure the neighbor’s there to hear the answer. Then, the problem should be solved.

OP is probably right though. The neighbor definitely sounds like a Karen.
