My Karen neighbour puts up a fence every year to stop leaves blowing on her garden – but I had the last laugh
A WOMAN who hit out at her neighbour for putting up a fence every year to stop the leaves blowing into their garden end up having the last laugh.
The TikTok user known as @kleighb710 took to the social media site to explain the situation to her 900 followers.
In the brief online clip, the voiceover says: “When your Karen of a neighbour puts up a fence every fall just so your leaves don’t go into his yard.
“But then his yard ends up having most of the leaves anyway.”
The footage starts by showing what looks like a rather feeble fence dividing the two gardens but as the camera pans around it is the neighbour’s garden that seems to have far more leaves in it.
In the comment section, the author wrote: “I feel it’s more work to put up and tear down the fence every fall than it would be to mow over the leaves?”
The video clearly hit a nerve with viewers as it has gained more than 6,000 likes and 340 comments.
Commentators were left firmly divided on the matter though.
Coming to her defence, one person wrote: “Why are people so bothered by leaves? I mulch mine with the mower. Super easy.”
Another said: “My Karen swept leaves back into my yard, later the wind blew them back into her yard.”
A third added: “The fence install takes longer than a couple of passes on the riding mower.”
Many though were on the side of the neighbour.
One commented: “Poor guy is getting called a Karen for wanting a clean yard.”
A second chipped in with: “Get sick of my neighbour’s leaves that fall months after mine too. I don’t blame him at all.”
While a third person wrote: “I don’t see anything wrong with this.”
Earlier this month, a man who had grown tired of his annoying neighbours revealed the unique way in which he managed to block them out.
In May, a woman showed how she took matters into her own hands to prevent her neighbours looking over her fence.
Here’s how you can find out who exactly owns the boundary between two properties – and who has the right to maintain and decorate it, especially on their side.
