HOA Karen tries to get neighbor to take down "cheap" and "sloppy" lights: 'Please don't take this personally'

Having an HOA board member as your next-door neighbor can definitely make you feel like you're constantly being watched. It seems like the kind of thing a homeowner should be made aware of prior to signing anything. Think of it as feeling like your boss is hovering over you all day every day, waiting for you to make a mistake. However, instead of this being in your office, it's in your home.

This Reddit thread was posted by a homeowner who received an aggressive email from their HOA Karen neighbor stating that she did not approve of their "cheap" and "sloppy" lights and implying that if they did not take them down, she would push for the HOA to get involved. Now, thankfully, the original poster was smart enough to check the rules and regulations to see if their lights violated their contract in any way. Of course, they didn't. This Karen just needed to be difficult in order to feel superior.
