Joyless Karen Is Triggered By A Tigger Flag That Her Neighbor Has, Goes Viral On TikTok
Interview
Right near the top of my list of favorite movies of all time is the wonderfully wholesome ‘Pooh’s Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin.’ In it, Winnie the Pooh, along with his friends Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and Owl go searching for Christopher Robin, who they believe is in danger (though he simply went off to school which they misinterpret as ‘skull’; thanks, Owl!). So when I think of Pooh and the gang, I can’t help but smile and feel like life is utterly amazing. My favorite characters? Piglet and Tigger. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same fuzzy feelings when it comes to these whimsical characters.
TikTok user Tayler, aka Tizzybizzy92, shared a very bizarre tale about how an older woman came to her home to complain about her flag that had Tigger, the tiger from Winnie the Pooh, on it. Yes, the Tigger flag triggered Tayler’s local ‘Karen.’ She posted the interaction with the old white lady on her TikTok account, so go and have a look at how everything went down, dear Pandas. Be sure to let us know what you think about the entire weird situation.
Tayler told Bored Panda that she wasn’t expecting her videos to go viral and have such an impact on TikTok. “My family and I just thought it was funny,” she said.

The internet was shocked to learn how a nosy neighbor complained to a woman about the flag near her house. That flag… had Tigger the tiger on it

Check out Tayler’s full video about what happened with her neighbor
@tizzybizzy92A tigger flag!!😝😂#neighborhoodkaren♬ original sound – Ambrosia
Tayler revealed to Bored Panda that the Tigger flag comes from “a pack of holiday flags from Amazon.” In her family, they’re all fans of Winnie the Pooh and the entire group of friends.
“We are all huge Winnie the Pooh fans. I have a two-year-old, Tariq. He loves to bounce like Tigger,” she said.
I was also interested to get Tayler’s take on what the essence of a good neighbor is. In her opinion, it’s all about who the individual is as a person. “Good people make good neighbors,” she said.
She added that, overall, the neighbors in her local community are great. “We love our neighborhood.”
The neighbor wasn’t shy about sharing her distaste for the flag with Winnie the Pooh’s pal Tigger on it. Here’s what happened

This is what the flag looks like. Personally, I’m a huge fan of it

Tayler’s initial video got a whopping 10.8 million views on TikTok while two of her follow-ups racked up 2.8 and 1.2 million views.
To be completely fair, the neighbor later apologized to Tayler for everything… from her car. Previously, though, she explained that she didn’t like the Tigger flag and thought that it was tacky. She also thought that it reflected badly on the entire neighborhood.
A lot of commenters thought the older woman was way out of line. After all, it’s just a flag. With Tigger! I mean, he’s a fantastic character, the perfect mix of boisterous, energetic, cowardly, and prudent. And the flag brings a bit of cheer to the neighborhood. But that’s just my opinion, dear Readers—you might have a different one.
The key to being a good neighbor is all about respecting the locals and the rules of the community. That means finding a balance between the boundaries that others set for you, as well as the boundaries you set for your neighbors.
However, some neighbors can get very nosy when it comes to how your house and your yard look. According to ‘American Family Insurance,’ how your house looks can affect the property value of the entire neighborhood.
“Don’t be the house on the block known for overgrown grass and dead flower beds. Keep the curb appeal of your home looking its best by regularly mowing your yard, cleaning out your gutters, power washing your home, and picking up the toys scattered on the lawn,” AFI explains that every neighbor should do their best to remember that they’re part of the local community.
The internet thought the entire situation was absurd and lightly made fun of the nosy neighbor

I came here hoping to see this wordplay, you did not disappoint! 😆

Are we sure that the old lady isn't actually a bit crazy - like, dementia-crazy? This is not normal behaviour, EVEN in the States.
I was thinking the same thing. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and the stuff that came out of his mouth to others was embarrassing. He once went up to a young married woman at the grocery store and called her a s**t. My grandmother mortified, the couple? Offended at first but completely understanding once explained. But he had no problems voicing is distaste on something to whomever is the one is creating such offence. Still kinda hilarious though and the woman recording handled it so so well. Esp if the older woman is suffering from some sort of brain degeneration disease. But that whole "I don't like it" down to the way it was said was like hearing my grandfather. The specific way she said I don't like that... And the way she excepted defeat....... when this stuff happens it much better to laugh it off then to get mad. Everyone here can be entertained by it all.

Without wanting to find excuse for the old lady, (she was horrible) am I the only one that i don't like the shaming of a person online with her face showing and everything? The story could be told without showing her publicly... just saying..
Someone explain why this is racist? She didn't change Tigger to a rhyming name with an N. She didn't say anything to her about her skin color. She disliked her belongings. A tigger flag is not a "Black person thing" so it is not like they had a Black Lives Matter sign and she did not like it. aside from someone disagreeing with someone who is Black, what was so racist?
Why the hell is race brought up in this article??? Unbelievable. It seems to me that there's only 1 racists in this story, and it's the author of this article, who ASSUMED that race was the reason of that "argument" without any indication whatsoever. Ergo, author is an idiot.
It is the cool thing to cry racism for no reason. There are blatant times and then there is this.

So wait...Is there a reason this post was titled using "White" and "black" people? I don't see any reason to try to create a racial incident where there is none or even eluding to it...this is ridiculous this is why we have people all over the world proclaiming idiotic rants...
I guess they changed it in the hour since you posted this comment, it just says 'Joyless Karen' now.

Good god, really? This was a very mild and civilized interaction, and hardly worth going viral in an attempt to harvest rage against an old woman who committed no crime. The color of the women is also absolutely irrelevant to the story. Not every disagreement between black and white people is due to racism. Does the word racism actually not mean anything anymore? The older lady expressed her unsolicited opinion, went on her way, then nothing changed. Nosy neighbours like this get into everyone's business, and every neighbourhood has at least one. So what? No one was hurt here. The thirst for internet cred is out of control. And to be fair, a Tigger flag does look dumb, and looks like the lady is running a daycare out of her home. But her yard, her choice, and she isn't hurting anyone. Must have been a slow day at the Panda to run this article.
Leave it to BoredPanda to turn this into a story about Racism!! OMG! People of different colours can't have a dispute without BLACK and WHITE being in the headline. Jonas Grinviiciusdfghjkl or however the heck you spell it, turn in your supposed journalist degree and go flip burgers instead of making money and mockery out of racial tensions.
Okay, first, I didn't see anywhere where her name is Karen. So, that should stop. That aside, I had a neighbor some years ago who didn't like the color of our house. It was different, I'll give you that. Light orange, peach if you will. And yes, she was a lady of a certain age. I just said, oh that's a shame. I saw her a few weeks later, and she asked me why I hadn't repainted my house yet. I just laughed and said, yeah, right, and walked away. My husband and I got into a philosophical conversation about whether people like this were always jackasses, or do you just turn into a jackass when you get old?
Are we shaming an old lady? Has anyone thought that maybe she is suffering from Dementia or Alzheimer's? When someone's brain is starting to deteriorate they can act out in ways that are not "correct" or typical for their previous personality. I am all for calling out racists and making this world better for every single person in it, but what ever happened to empathy? I think the homeowner was very gracious and lovely in the way she handled it.
Have you considered that calling her demented in public is extremely offensive?

But I thought EVERYONE knew the “wonderful thing about Tiggers”!! 🥺💔🐯🤷♀️
I'm going to order my Tigger flag on Amazon now because I predict there will be a run on them very soon :)
Proof that some people must spend their spare time just searching for things to bitch about.
I watched and followed the whole story on TikTok. The homeowner said " This isn't an HOA. The crazy lady said "there are rules I don't know what they are but I will find out"! I guess the crazy lady family member watched it on tiktok and told her about it. so she drove by and yelled "I'm sorry" Absolutely ridiculous.
I would have handled that very differently. I wish I had that nice woman's patience
I think the whole Hundred Acre Wood gang should make an appearance. Followed by gnomes, lots and lots of gnomes...
I wish people would stop making it about race. The jerky neighbor never mentioned or hinted towards race. She's still a jerk. But making things up is also wrong.
You're entitled to your opinion. I'm also entitled to my opinion, and my opinion is that I don't give a flying f**k about your stupid opinion Karen.
This is what I would've sent her in response: IMG_202108...e27d24.jpg 
I wonder if the Williamsburg she is referencing is Williamsburg VA? I went to college there and can attest to the high # of entitled seniors who have set up there for their bitchy sunset years...
This is truly an invented controversy. Find something real to care about.
People are so miserable in their own lives that they have to complain about the simplest things to try to make everyone else miserable like them. It's so ridiculous. If people would put in as much effort into something that actually is important, we may be able to make some needed changes in society.
I would go and get flags of all the other characters from Winnie The Pooh and put them up too, then move on to He-Man, then Thundercats. My pettyness would make her wish she hadn't bothered. How empty does your life have to be to complain about this? and it's not even her house. Just hurry up and die you stupid old woman.
I loved the laugh she made after the old lady said "I don't like it". The utter disbelief that this nonsense was happening in real life, to her, right now. Amazing!
Tell her she needs to speak to Jeff about the flags he chose to sell on his site 😆
I truly hope everyone on the street gets one. I'd pay into a GoFundMe type thing to make it happen.
"I don't know what the rules are but I feel important enough to tell you that you are breaking them" People like this are why I have made a career out of minding my own buisness. In the hopes that others will extend me the same courtesy. So far it hasn't worked out so great.
1) It is tacky. It is an opinion she is entitled to and I share it. I like Winnie, etc, but I have never liked flags of any kind-that includes American. The pride flag is pretty, though. But, wait, read in, I am NOT team crabbypants. 2) Old lady is tacky for bringing it up. 3) It is not old lady's decision to go around parading her nasty comments and making people take it down, especially whe she can't even come up with the supposed 'rules.' 4) Good for the other lady for being calm. I would have shoved the lady off my steps. 5) Williamsburg, VA? I used to live there as a baby.
A couple years ago I had the neighbor behind me send her (adult) son around the block to knock on my front door in the morning as I was leaving for work. At the time my routine was to let the dog out in the AM while I showered, then let her back in before I went to work. She whined at the door a little bit but didn't bark but this neighbor didn't like it - but she didn't even come over herself, she sent her son! It was obvious she told him what to say, including threatening to call the city for animal abuse. I just assured him there was no abuse going on and shut the door - but ever since it's been one of those incidents that I wish I would have had the time to prepare a better response!!!
Something ain't right with that lady. She thinks her opinion matters.
To the folks outraged that race was injected into this incident. As black people we are rarely sure that we are being treated poorly because a person doesn't like us because of our color or because they're an a-hole. That being said, there's a lot of white a-holes out there.
No, you're reaching. People can talk to Black people and have a disagreement and not be racist. Well, it used to be. Now it seems you look at someone oF a different ethnicity and you are racist. Now if she didn't say Tigger and said a rhyming word with an N in front then it would be clearly racist.

I don’t think that woman complaining about the Tigger flag was a liberal. Just a hunch.

The problem nowadays is that if a white person asks a black person not to do something then everyone screams racist. As a white person I asked a black person not to do something on my personal property and I was told I was racist. There was nothing to indicate at face value that this was racially motivated. If it comes out this lady is indeed racist then you can claim racism. But just based off this there is no clear indication that this was racially motivated.
