“I Don’t Get How Someone Can Be So Spiteful”: Karen Ruins Neighbors’ Wedding By Mowing Her Lawn, Sparks Fury Online

ADVERTISEMENT

Video footage has surfaced on social media, showing an unidentified woman purposely sabotaging an outdoor wedding.

In the clip, she can be seen (and heard!) mowing her lawn in close proximity to the neighboring ceremony, which appears to already be in full swing.

The video creator, most likely a guest at the wedding, explained that the “Karen” decided to start the racket fully aware of its effect.

Snippets of the ceremony, which included the bride gracing the aisle and the sharing of vows, appear in the clip, as well as a sneak peek at the lady who disrupted the special day.

There’s a saying that goes “love thy neighbor as yourself,” but as we can see, not all Americans know of it. Or live by it.

In fact, according to one study on people’s relationships with their neighbors, over a third (36 percent) have had issues that escalate into full-blown arguments, with a quarter stating that they have a long-running feud with someone living next to them.

Many of those polled should be able to relate to the couple who had to endure the lawn mower, as the research commissioned discovered the most common reasons for an argument are over parking, followed closely by animal noise, and noise in general.

Then, all of a sudden, an annoying buzzing noise emerges

The data might explain why over 40 percent of Americans try to avoid their errant neighbors intentionally, with Northeast folks more than twice as likely to say their neighbors are rude when compared to the Southwest.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the biggest reason for said avoidance is simply not having the time to stop and chat.

But thinking the people next door are weird, and not getting along with them, or feeling they are too nosy are common reasons many avoid interaction as well.

What triggered this particular woman to act the way she did is still unclear. However, not all neighborhoods are battlegrounds where every person views the rest as enemies.

Nearly a quarter (23 percent) say they have neighbors who they consider as friends, and 3 in 10 trust their neighbors a lot, while 86 percent rate themselves as either a good or very good neighbor.

However, this case does illustrate a somewhat counterintuitive reality. While a common stereotype suggests people who live in busy urban areas tend to be less respectful of those around them, the results of the survey reveal the opposite: city people are almost twice as likely to regularly hang out with their neighbors.

The wedding guest said the noise was so loud that people couldn’t hear the couple’s vows

The video has since gone viral with nearly a million views and over 4,000 comments

Many of which condemned this Karen move and called for retribution

So far, we do not know if the property where the ceremony was held belongs to the newlyweds or their families, or if it is a rental, like an Airbnb.

But does it matter? The world would be so much better if we could be happy for each other. Surely if there’s a wedding going on, you can show a little decency and wait just a little longer to cut the grass.

Some, however, were on the fence about the whole thing

Sometimes I really wonder what happens in such people's minds. I am absolutely unable to comprehend why someone would do that.
