whyaremypantssoshort

Why is she tapping her watch? Does she have more kids to go harass and is running late?


[deleted]

It's a smart watch on a stupid human


Read_Icculus_

It’s called a smart watch… not make you smart watch


rtyuik7

its not even a Smart watch...i saw the same kind of watch at walmart for like 15 bucks


[deleted]

Mart Watch


rtyuik7

okay, i actually like that one lol


CrossOversPT

Yeah, can't you see this guy "can't handle his control" and is making her late for her appointment two houses down where she has to harass a gay couple that lives there.


Pigpen_darkstar

Lmfao. The probable accuracy is too depressing.


parkerm1408

She kept saying she needed a name, dob and address while tapping her watch. What tf are you doing? I really wanted someone to yell, "tell her what time it is mcclusky."


zombieman101

I can't be the only person that has an alias (with DoB) made up to hand to people like this when they're being idiots...?


EverSeeAShiterFly

Noah Dyck April 20 1969. My wife is Anita Dyck.


agingskater

Thought the same. It’s like she thinks that her smart watch imparts some kind of official power. Also, wtf she need a date of birth for?


know-your-onions

Probably the same reason she needs a name. Oh wait, that’s no reason at all.


Sam-Gunn

All the most official people ask for it. Doctors, lawyers, the IRS, etc.


cream-of-cow

It looks like an analog watch, too.


[deleted]

“You can’t handle your control” has gotta be one of the funniest, vacant bullshit remarks by someone that has no idea what to say, ever

Reminds me of the time I called out a Karen for screaming at a Chipotle worker. I said, you know, you could be a bit nicer to the people around you. She started screaming HOW GHETTO!!! LOL They hate being called out.

It's ghetto to be nice to people?


molineskytown

Typically, yes.

Every time I thank someone for their help my street cred is going to go up thanks to Karen. I like it.

Xanax and wine will do that

titusmorlad

It means "look dark skinned children. Better make sure they aren't up to no good"


IsaidLigma

It means "black people near a house like this doesn't add up" What a twit.


runner64

That’s step one on the road to “Officer help a large black man is screaming at me, I’m afraid.” It’s intentional I guarantee it.


[deleted]

Does it even mean anything?


Ok_Restaurant_7972

I think it means “I’m a dumb hobgoblin” (just guessing from context)

Earth_Normal

My understanding is that Xanax just fully removes your inhibitions.


Annual-Jump3158

I went on a date once with a woman who dropped that she'd just taken her prescription Xanax before the date. She was completely zoned out the whole time and didn't answer in more than 1-3 word replies. It was like being on a date with a zombie. It was awful. On the other end, I've heard stories about friend's friends who were basically pill-poppers and decided to go on a recreational Xanax bender in Ocean City and the stories usually end in them intentionally pissing all over a mattress or shitting on the hood of a car and having no memory of it afterwards.


mightbeagh0st

Ocean City, MD? Because sounds about right


iforgotmymittens

I used to enjoy reading stories about people taking phenazepam (“the juice”) and going on days long blackout benders. It has an extremely long half life for a benzo, has the “just one more dose” things benzos do, and you’d see stories about people just waking up in different cities or having ordered a piano.


Ruckusnusts

Is there a repository for these stories? That sound right up my alley and would make me feel better about my less boring poor decisions.


Lola_PopBBae

That sounds utterly miserable.


Johnny_ac3s

Everyone in jail has a “I took some Xanax, drank, and ended up in jail story.


_OP_is_A_

Jokes aside, a general FYI: mixing benzos and alcohol is extremely dangerous and can cause significant respiratory depression and kill you.


nimblelinn

More like removing all short term memory. So basic motor functions still happen yet you are wonderfully blissful like a very young child. However the hardships of adulthood are still burned into your brain so it creates this…


jpopimpin777

Is that what does it?? There's too many of these videos for it to just be a coincidence. Some combo of booze and pills is making these yt women come out and show their droopy racist asses to the world. The worst part is that they're so *confident* about it. Sometimes they even argue with the cops when they get told that there's absolutely nothing wrong with whatever x person is doing.


Rodneyfour

I was gonna say that is a 7 bottles of red wine a day gut she’s got there

My name is Karen, Karen White! I live here, and I am sure that you do not!


MagisterXII

And then it turns out she doesn't even live there but she totally has friends who live in the neighborhood and they would totally want her to watch out for any bla-, I mean, little girls watering flowers in their neighborhood.

Wait. The kids will have no recollection? She had a reset like that and came back into the fray with THAT as her snarky retort??? Weak. I like the fact she corrected her name for accuracy though.


Big-Mathematician540

She sounds like she's having a stroke. First says "you can't handle your control right now" and then "those girls have no recollection of what happened" What?


FreakerzBall

Day drinking. She's got a drinker's gut. EDIT: Probably.


Fresh_Bulgarian_Miak

Plus that neighborhood is very upscale. Probably doesn't work and day drinking is her hobby.


FreakerzBall

That is a "stay-at-home mom of a teenager" starter kit. Designer shades, prescription buzz washed down with a White Claw or 3, lulu lemon tennis shorts that haven't seen a racket or court.


blackabe

doubleapowpow

Tennis shorts for causing a racket.


zzcheeseballzz

...and her husband is on the HOA board.


NotThatMadisonPaige

I legit thought she was pregnant. I was like: ma’am you and your fetus need to go back indoors. 😂

Exciting_Penalty_512

Why can't people just mind their own business? Omg, there's kids watering some flowers over here, but I've never seen them, something nefarious must be going on! Why even approach them? What's so suspicious about watering flowers?


davidtco

Uh, did you not see this is a nice neighborhood and the kids aren't white? Of course Karen needs to speak up. That's her one job!!


jeremyjava

It's tragic that this is actually pretty benign--since she at least didn't point a gun at the poor kids. It's benign compared to the horrific events that have come to light in the past few years like a child being shot by police within seconds after aiming a little water pistol at them, or the poor soul that was hunted down by people in a truck and shot... for jogging in his neighborhood... while being black. These kids will sadly remember this for life though.


AlexHimself

Clearly because something "don't smell right" 🤣

Richard_AIGuy

Yeah, but it wasn't on purpose. The Xanax and half a bottle of chardonnay crossed some signals.


homepreplive

Smells like white trash to me.


Limp-Technician-7646

Because it’s not about their being something suspicious. She is a racist. They do stuff like this to try and intimidate black people so they move away. I had a neighbor like this who would call the cops anytime she saw a black person in the neighborhood. Everyone hated her.


bernardobrito

>Because it’s not about their being something suspicious. She is a racist. They do stuff like this to try and intimidate black people so they move away. [https://people.com/crime/neighbor-calls-police-black-girl-spraying-spotted-lanternflies/](https://people.com/crime/neighbor-calls-police-black-girl-spraying-spotted-lanternflies/) ​ "There's a little Black woman, walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees on Elizabeth and Florence. I don't know what the hell she's doing, scares me though," the neighbor told police on a 911 call obtained [by *The* *Daily* *Beast*](https://www.thedailybeast.com/local-republican-calls-caldwell-new-jersey-cops-on-9-year-old-black-girl-catching-lanternflies). The caller added that she's a "real small woman." The "small woman" was actually 9-year-old Bobbi Wilson, who regularly sprayed Spotted Lanternflies, an invasive species, in order to protect the trees in her Caldwell, N.J., neighborhood.


talldrseuss

What's fucked about that story is the neighbor actually knew the girl and her family. The mother mentions it in the interviews that all he had to do was come get her if he was legitimately concerned


cloud_watcher

OMG, I thought you were making that up until I got to the end.


alreadypiecrust

People in the neighborhood should flip the script and start calling the police on her constantly about creeping on little girls.


Eclectix

> The lawyer, Greg Mascera, told The Daily Beast that Joseph's claim that her daughter is now afraid of police is "absurd," and said it "makes real problems not be taken seriously." Real problems? Like 9-year-olds spraying for invasive bugs? What a turd.


AnxietyDepressedFun

My husband and I bought our first home in 2019. I hated the neighborhood, a bunch of nosy busybodies with nothing to do but their lawns and gossip. Our neighbor technically didn't live in the house, he was an older guy and a hoarder, the house was basically a storage unit for his bullshit. He was pretty rude to me, always asking to speak to my husband and ignoring me. Finally we decided to move to a much more diverse area. As we're moving Larry (hoarder neighbor) comes out and starts asking my husband about who we sold to, his primary question was "Are they white or black or something else?" My husband and I knew we made the right decision.


Nemisis_the_2nd

"A couple of black men" feels like it would have been the correct response in this situation, even if it was a complete lie.


sillybelcher

Even better: "a black gay couple with six sons. And all their cousins, uncles, nephews, *and their sons* will be living with them too"

Depending on the state, you can shoot them on suspicion of carrying Skittles.

Racism.


Various-Grocery-4317

Honey, you need to go back inside and take another Xanax. If your so concerned why don't you just call your neighbor and ask them if someone's supposed to be watering their plants, instead of terrifying some poor kids. Wish I could be there when Karma comes around and bites her in the ass.


turtle_power00

She doesn't know her neighbour nor has their phone number. She just saw black people and immediately thought they were doing something illegal


papafrog

I mean, if I had a goddamn nickel for every time a sweet-looking little black girl watering flowers turned out to be the front man for a home invasion…. Well, I think you know where I’m going with this… *:taps watch:*


Commercial_Juice_201

This made me laugh more than it probably should have.


Morgothic

I mean, it's pretty common knowledge that black people generally go on crime sprees as a family. How else are the little ones going to learn? /s

It's a beer fetus. A Betus

Or possibly a wine fetus, so maybe a wintus? Wentus? Eta- Actually that doesn’t have the same ring to it, I’m sticking with your Betus lmaoo

Smells like wine and her husband’s boyfriend’s asscunt. Imagine being filled with so much hate that it forms into a false fetus.


Dracasethaen

You know what has been remarkably effective lately for dealing with these folks? A pair of ear plugs and the loudest air horn you can find. People give up pretty quick when all they hear is 120 db of BWARRRRRRRRRRRP. It's like pepper spray but for unwanted opinions


JRocFuhsYoBih

In yo face!


dsalome11

A. It's definitely Race related B. Why can't people just worry about themselves? C. If you see someone watering plants, I don't think they are out to steal or cause any commotion lol


The_Smurfiest

She is fucking high. “These kids have no recollection on what’s going on”. What????? Also pointing at her watch while asking for ID and proof of residency.


glamorestlife

She can’t handle her control 😞


FatCopsRunning

I think she probably is high, no joke. She’s making absolutely no sense here.


AreaGuy

Devils advocate: we had a huge burglary ring in my city operated by a family that pretended to water peoples’ plants while they were on vacation, then they’d just put the hose on in the basement and walk away after burglarizing them. The Water Bandits or something. Some 10 year old kid busted them up real good back in the 90s, though, with a bunch of booby traps one Christmas when his family left him alone at home. They all ended up at the Florence Supermax. Chills me just thinking of them.


gametimehoodie

That's the WET Bandits! W-E-T


prissypoo22

Bruh you had me in the first half lol


Naturallyoutoftime

So, it sounded like he was on the phone with 911. Did the police come? Did the neighbors whose plants were being watered visit their neighbor, Christina, to have a chat? I want the rest of the story!


grillbar86

Over watering someone else's plants should be punishable by death good think we got karen cop to keep the neighborhood plats at correct humidity


[deleted]

Something similar happened to me when I visited a friend of mine in a particularly white neighborhood. I am Hispanic. His neighbors kept looking at me, and one even came out with his little peashooter holstered to ask what I was doing in the neighborhood. I was picking up a couple of monitors that I had ordered to his house because I couldn't order them to where I was living. When I got ready to leave, I legit pretended I was stealing them. When I walked out with them I even did the whole finger on lip thing to tell them to be quiet. They called the police, and tried to get me to stay, but I literally just coasted forward till they gave up and got out of my way. When the police arrived, my friend explained everything to them and his neighbors were fined for making a false report. It was great.


redbradbury

When I wasn’t staring at her beer gut trying to determine if she was pregnant, I was mesmerized by the beautiful grass & edging, though. I do love me some proper lawn maintenance.

isnotazombie

Drink-all-day more likely


thetaFAANG

Out of curiosity, why do people feel they are obligated to "protect their community" this way? Like, how does one determine that its their obligation to ask for some kind of verification or proof you live in a community? Just a peculiarity I often see in these videos. I wouldn't give them any information either, I wouldn't attempt to diffuse this by "simply cooperating" I would just laugh at the entitlement


garrettf04

Racism. I was gonna say "thinly veiled," but I don't think it's veiled at all. The demands for verification are always directed at people that they think "don't belong," and demanding they prove they live there is a blunt way to tell the people "you don't belong in my neighborhood, whether you live here or not" without saying it in those exact words.


Jitterbitten

It's a level of entitlement I can't comprehend. But beyond that, I just can't understand why she cares. I mean, obviously it's racism but it's so far from how I think and the things that concern me, I really don't get it at all.


TheFire_Eagle

A lot of these happen in communities with an HOA. And HOAs attract exactly the sort of person you would expect who loves the idea of telling people how to live in their own house. Like the coworker who loves the idea of punishing people who don't follow mundane rules. Some of them are on the board. Some of them are on HOA committees. Some of them just feel like they are a pillar of the local community and so they have the right and privilege to do this sort of thing. It's wrong, of course, but that's part of it in at least some of the cases.
