Outrage has erupted online after a homeowner in Ireland was caught building a fence to separate their neighbor’s rubbish. The ongoing dispute between the residents has gone viral on social media, with the man capturing their disagreements on CCTV cameras.
The footage, shared on TikTok by user @Kingbo0tzy, shows the neighbor, referred to as a “Karen,” calling the police to inspect the man’s alleged boundary infringements. The video captures a police officer inspecting the front yards of both homes and engaging in a friendly conversation with the man. The officer appears frustrated with the woman for wasting his time but eventually leaves after attempting to negotiate a truce.
In another CCTV clip, the woman can be seen checking the placement of the man’s bins in the early hours of the morning. The man explains that he moved his trash cans along the new section of the fencing she had put up, which seemed to have upset her. He remarks, “I guess she didn’t like it, and it must have been eating her up inside because she randomly came out at 3 am to check the location of the trash.”
The video has garnered over 280,000 views, with concerned viewers offering advice to the man. Some suggested building a 10ft privacy fence to prevent any further interference from the neighbor. Others empathized with the man’s situation and expressed their frustration with similar “Karen” encounters.
