“Karen” Keeps Leaving Notes Complaining About Woman’s Decorations, Woman Responds By Adding Even More
How do you get into the Christmas spirit? Maybe you decorate a tree? Get a sweater? Bake some cookies? Whatever it is, I’m sure you’re not belittling other people just to pet your weak ego and feel superior. This Karen, however, starts the holiday season doing exactly that.
When she spotted a Gargoyle on her neighbor’s porch, she left a note demanding that the woman take it down immediately. It’s not very festive, she argued. Maybe she wouldn’t have done it if she knew how all of it would play out, but I’m kinda glad she put her obnoxious personality on full display—it backfired.
Instead of accepting Karen’s ultimatum, the neighbor decided to up her game even more. Thus, a hilarious feud ensued. And Karen had no chance of winning it.
More info: Facebook
The only thing more impressive than the determination of this Karen to make a fool of herself is the history of the gargoyle. Likely erected as a defense against demons, the stone statues are rooted in religion and steeped in superstition, serving as water spouts. The word gargoyle is derived from gorge, a French word for throat—this is because a true gargoyle has a hollow neck, attached at one side to the building’s gutter system. When it rains, water flows from the roof into the gutter, which directs it to the gargoyle. The water passes through the pipe-like stone structure, and then dramatically falls out of the creature’s open mouth. By directing rainwater away from the structure, the gargoyle helps prevent damage to walls and the roof’s masonry, which, during the Gothic period, became really elaborate. Thus, in order to move the water as far away from the façade as possible, gargoyles are typically horizontally-oriented. Although earlier editions have existed in different cultures for centuries, these figures gained prominence in Medieval France.
During that period, many people looked to gods and goddesses, spirits and ghosts, or other supernatural entities for guidance, fundamental answers to life’s problems, and protection. So no wonder they protected their places of worship from evil spirits by placing supernatural beings on them.
Gargoyles were known to stand guard and ward off evil spirits and frighten away other creatures that meant no good. The more hideous and/or frightening their appearance was, the better these monsters could scare off all sorts of dark creatures. According to some stories, gargoyles come to life at night and act as protectors while one is asleep and vulnerable. They also have wings and can fly around the whole area and cover an entire village or town as well as the church. As the sun rises, the Gargoyles resume their place once more to serve as guardians during the day when their fierce visage can be seen and frighten off those that see their faces.
So when you think about it, gargoyles are very much appropriate and keeping in with the Christmas spirit.
I would put up a board with all Karen's notes on it so anyone who cared to take a look would know there's a coward who can't mind their own business and doesn't have the balls to talk to you in person like an adult.
I'm eager for her to show the HOA "Karens" notes as well as the destruction she did to the porch to innocent inanimate objects. I would love to meet this Grinch in the street if not an ally. She's so stuck up. I also hope that the mayor breaks friendship with her.
I’m sure that the mayor, or anyone who knows her, knows that she’s a total Karen. She probably asks to see a manager at least twice per month.
Karens and kyles need a good lesson learned.

I'd rather get passive agressive notes than have an aggressive person in my face
LOL, I'm just the opposite, gives me a reason for what I'm doing. I would intentionally make her aggravated and aggressive for the dumbest reason while recording her. If she tried anything it's all recorded and if she walks away defeated I would put it in a documentary labeled "How to Defeat a Karen". Either way it's going on Youtube for the world to see.
Nah, sounds like Karens a Coward!

Frank the gargoyle apparently has a Facebook page where you can follow him https://m.facebook.com/Frank-the-Christmas-Gargoyle-100433311957105/
Facebook suspended the account because Karen reported it. Isn't that a crock of bull! so no updates for now
They're back now!

Virginia Phillips Good response!
I haven't used facebook in years but now I just might have to!
SHE’S A SHE
The fb page and the owners page were hacked. Someone else started posting stuff on the page and set up a Twitter account that has now been shut down. They are setting up a blog off fb
@Virginia Phillips: It looks active at the moment, so maybe the issue was resolved? https://www.facebook.com/Frank-the-Christmas-Gargoyle-100433311957105
Jeanie Neal yes
OMG GIMME GIMME GIMME!
LOL
I follow that page myself.
Virginia Phillips, thanks for the update, they sure did the Wrong thing, it's the damn Karen who should be blocked and Blacklisted.
Today: 2 plastic flamingos added, with hat and scarf
Plastic flamingos fit every season and every need, and they NEVER go out of style! 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩 See?
Mary, you’re right!
Me, too! You go, Ms. Buckeye Homeowner With An Attitiude!
Yes please!
What happened in the end?

She hasn't made up the rest of the story yet.
It’s on her other profile, she posted them to the account she dedicated to the gargoyle. She originally posted them to her main account on different days.
This decoration war alone could be a comedy series on Netflix.
Good point. Like how with men its a Light War. Both sets would be perfect. An updated "Odd Couple" so to speak.
You got a good idea on that!!!!

Exactly. That is why I think this is completely made up.
That is awesome! But how could she be mean to those rats? They're really cool little creatures! I might be a bit biased, as I own pet rats, but seriously, rats are cool.
Super affectionate and intelligent! And surprisingly, they are pretty clean when kept domestically too! My brother had rats for years. They were awesome. If I had more room, I would consider putting together an awesome rat setup.
Rats are fun and affectionate and super festive! Check this out: https://www.nattyrats.com/
Matt Bat Good response!
Matt Bat yes
The only bad thing about rats is they have such short little life spans.
Rats are indeed adorable. xx
Bitching about the missing Christmas spirit is also not in the nature of Christmas spirit. Live and let live
Who else heard "The Twelve Days of Christmas" in their head all the time while reading this? Just with gargoyles, cats, rats, dogs and so on...
AND A GARGOYLE IN A PEAR TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the the new song of the season
LOL
"FIVEEEEE Golden Covids!!!!!"
Four plague rats, three letters, two skeletal pets, and a gargoyle on a front porch
Aragorn: three NASTY letters...
HAHA
On the first day of Christmas, this Karen insulted... A GARGOYLE IN A PEAR TREE! On the second day of Christmas, this Karen insulted... THE BEAUTIFUL SKELETON CATS! On the 3rd day of Christmas, this Karen insulted... THE CUTE LITTLE HIPPOS ON THE PORCH! On the 4th day of Christmas, this Karen insulted... FURRY LITTLE CUTE RATS! On the 5th day of Christmas, this Karen insulted... THE EVIL CRISTMAS WREATH COVID-19!

I'll leave it at this: Gargoyles are on churches to keep away evil spirits. So. Y'know. Gargoyle seems fine to me. :-)
It didn't seem to work this time though, did it? It didn't repel Karen! ;oP
No but the dog made her piss herself
That gargoyle was just in keeping with the holiday spirit. It chose not to go after Karen. But never, neve piss off a gargoyle. After New Year's the gloves come off!
Woah!!!!
Eh, there's always one or two who slip by ;-P
Can you imagine being the old biddy next door? To have nothing to do but worry about Christmas decorations on your neighbors porch.
Hahaha
and an old bitch in a pear treeeeee....
Seriously!!
Well not sure if nxt door neighbour or just a Karen on her way to the shops?

Imagine making up a story about an old lady vandalising your porch for internet points. That's sadder to me.
Made up or not it made me cry out laughing!!!
If you follow the page, she posted pictures of the letters from the Karen.
Chrissy Priest haha
It's legit - see my other comments below. Everything was on the woman's personal page, where you can see posts on different days, and then it was moved to Frank's own page.
Who else thinks "Beans" is the miserable Karen Stooge! 🙋🏼♀️ Get a life, Karen!! 🤣🤣🤣
Beans: please read full story, just personally l've met quite a few Karens so it is Very possible to be true.
This is hilarious! I want to know if she got the spirit award!
I am prepared to bet my right arm that she totally did.
Hope you are left handed!
Lol no I'm right-handed XDD But also, have a little faith in her!
Two things: 1. HOA = Club for Busybodies. "oh, your curtains are ivory, not white or off-white" and now "oh, your gargoyles just aren't in the spirit of the season." 2. The season that gave us spirits in "A Christmas Carol" and "Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year's" telling ghost stories. Your neighbor needs to brush up on Christmas.
Karen made the grinch turn green with envy
I HATE HOAs!! The one that we're in now, temporarily, thank goodness, doesn't let you put Christmas decorations up until the 1st of December. I'm that crazy person that puts decorations up 2-4 weeks early, because I love decorations! HOAs are for old people who have nothing better to do.
When I grow up, I want to be like this!!!
Moomin from Denmark what
Moomin from Denmark like
That neighbor needs to live next to some of those over-the-top gory Halloween houses, then that person would realize how cutely tame this is.
Maybe at Halloween put the Christmas decorations out! : )
Had one down the street on a corner lot. The house and the front yard was covered with Halloween items. Look and this person's porch and then multiple by thirty.
This is absolutely hilarious. The plague doctor and the hippos are my favorite.
The hippos really rock it! Especially since they’re one of the most dangerous mammals on the planet (after humans, of course).
Brilliant! Love it. But; hasn’t she ever heard “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas...”?
🎵...only a hippopotamus will do...🎵
I don't want a doll! No dinky tinkertoy! I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!

Hanna Gunnars what
who's immature... i hate neighbours.
I absolutely hate HOA Karens. When I was in middle school we moved to an area with an HOA, the Karen: complained that there were still boxes IN OUR GARAGE, 3 DAYS after we moved in, complained that a family with 3 kids left some toys on the lawn overnight, actually came onto our property and moved the plant pots I had spent a whole week lovingly painting to the side alley between our house and the next because they didn't fit with her image of the neighborhood. After that last one my dad told her if she trespassed on our property again he would call the cops. She backed down and my plants were restored to their rightful place in the front yard.
Bravo on your dad.
MY HOA Karen had the snowplow deposit the lot's snow in my parking place, then tried to have me fined for parking in a Visitor parking spot. She also reported me for the front of my car being 2" over the sidewalk. The latter ended when I sent the HOA pictures of how her drunk husband parked across 2-plus spots.
Well done ray, maybe get a copy of her receipt for moving the snow? Show she did it deliberately!
The damn cheek of some Karens! I'd deliberately put things where l'd know it would upset her...lol but that's just me...lol
You are AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!( see I can use 10 exclamation marks too😁 ). I so wish I knew you. What you did and hopefully are still doing is just BRILLIANT. This is the best laugh I have had in ages. Please keep us updated and please keep being who and what you are; a Karen Slayer. I hope you, Frank and all the rest of the team have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. PS, I like Frank, I think Frank is Brilliant. 🤗💕
I nearly wet myself over this! I hope there is a sequel next year. With all the crap that has been going on this year, this is something everyone needed.
F***s sake....call the woman a bitch, just not my name.
My name is not Karen but I do agree. Hugs to you, Karen.
I have known some lovely women with the name Karen, it is a shame your name has been spoiled. Hugs

Karen needs to chill
1. That Karen is tresspassing. 2. I'm sure that Karen is fiercely sensitive about her "freedom and rights" but has no respect for others'.
OMG! I would totally give her an award for Festiveness!
the only bad thing about this thread is that it ended
she got hacked
HECK YEAH! I lost it at the Covid stuffy, the plague doctor, and the rats. I love it!!
To all you Karens who all calling this out as fake. So what? I am not sure if it is fake or not but it is funny. Please lighten up and take it for the humor that it is. Don't you have anything better do than analyze every picture to see if leaves have moved so you can tell it is fake or not. Jeez people get a life.
Not fake. She was on her local news, and is even still going...Each time the Karen whines, the Gargoyle lady just keeps raising money for various charities. search for him on Facebook to view the continued adventures! ;)
They're earning their Karen ness...lol
Karens are a people indigenous to Myanmar who face genocide daily in their native land. Why do you feel it is appropriate to take the name of an actual cultural group and applying it to another made up one for the purpose of insulting someone? Do you not understand that that is cultural erasure, a form of cultural genocide? Does it not concern you that you commit cultural genocide against a group in this country that is literally dealing with genocide in their own country? Or were you just somehow that ignorant and you have now learned something which obligates you to stop your behavior and the behavior of others? Because, honestly, now these people are actually getting targeted in certain places because of their ethnicity in THIS country.
LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS!!!!! Good God! (I have a good name- "Reuven's")
You're karening Karening.
Alright, I’ll switch to Sharon.

It's not funny though, it's sad he has to make up a villain to get likes and that people have zero healthy skepticism about it.
Hey Grinchy Beans Lighten up. With the s**t year we have had this year is exactly what everyone needs!
Everyone laughing at it would beg to differ. Nobody's making you look at it
Beans- you are one miserable moron!!
They need a security camera. Because of what that woman did, she could be charged with trespassing and vandalism. I wouldn't put up with that BS either.
Nah - a sense of humour is the best weapon
Unless Karen really damages something, it's not worth the bother. It would give Karen an excuse to go to the HOA and/or city.

Now all we need is a moat, some festive guardian gators, and a spiky fence to keep those Karen fingers away from your cuties.
I like the way you think...lol
So? What comes NEXT??? Enquiring minds wanna know!
Pink elephants. Vampire bats. Human-sized Venus flytraps.

Yes, well Disney put in Pink Elephants, vampire bats, but l'd Love to get Real sized Venus Fly Trap...lol
small dark gargoyle with hat, then 2 plastic flamingos with hat and scarf
This is the BEST XMAS DECORATION EVER! The dog is so cute and Frank is absolutely my xmas spirit! :)
I get the feeling that none of this is true, except maybe the first note? Maybe I'm wrong.
There are people who are wrong, confident, and loud. They like to bully and there’s no winning. You waste your time, give in and inflate their sense of worth only for them to perpetuate that behavior, or you escalate things in a way that brings some enjoyment while dealing with nonsense. Maybe it is. I enjoyed the story though.
*a coughing fit that sounds suspiciously like “Donald Trump”*
Maybe not this time, everything is the same day.
Frank's "owner" was using her own page until he started getting a lot of attention. The prior incidents were posted days apart. She created a page just for him and uploaded al the previous pics the same day. That's why it looks that way. We're all a little extra skeptical after the year we've had., so I get it.

I want a Gargoyle now, with the name Frank. 🥰
Google "Frank the Christmas Gargoyle"
The dog sniffing the wet spot!!!!
Two people with WAY too much time on their hands. Creative display, though
Thank you for making me laugh so hard I am crying! How can I get a neighbor like her, she would be my best friend!!!!
I once had a 6 foot tall t-rex skeleton decoration I put up for Halloween and didn't want to take down after the October event, so I got creative. Come November I got a novelty pilgrim hat for him to wear and a felt turkey hat for him to chew on... followed by the traditional Santa hat with matching scarf, then a black sparkly top hat for New Years before life issues interrupted the chain of seasonal shenanigans. Can't tell you the number of amused chuckles and thumbs-ups I got from neighbors driving by. But I can tell you the number of Karenisms I got... zero. Good for you for staying true to your own sense of humor and decor.
LMFAO!!!!! I pissed myself reading this so much that i think i drew attention with the bosses. I might be in for disciplinary but who cares because like your self i am a total rebel (hence the name Billy the kid) I wish i could contribute to this but it looks like you have got it all in hand. Fkn love it and i am definitely a follower.
I personally thought that the entire display was fun and positively hilarious. The updates were particularly enjoyable. I always knew that gargoyles were guards against things that go bump in the night. But, I guess even a gargoyle needs a bit of help from friends to ward off easily offended ignorami.
It's a funny read indeed, by why are all posts from the same day, even though the text itself implies it's from different days? Something's off....
Frank's person had all his stuff on her personal page until he started getting a lot of attention. The pics and posts there were on different days and such. Then she created Frank's own page and to catch up with the events posted several things on the same day. I get that it seems off. A friend shared the woman's page with me initially on Mon or Sun, then by the next day Frank had his own page. I don't know the woman personally but it seems legit.
