Hero-Karen protects her 95-year-old neighbor from predatory door-to-door solicitors, chasing the unwanted conmen down the street: ‘The ‘No Solicitors’ sign was there for your protection’ – FAIL Blog

Karens are like an angry dog; they’re certainly the kind of angry beast that you want to have on your side. With that said, the power of a tenacious Karen can surprisingly be harnessed for good, provided you’re not on the receiving end of their vicious bite. Introverts, the elderly, and those with similarly small voices might struggle to stand up for themselves sometimes, often accepting their fate of people-pleasing mentality at the detriment of themselves, but a hero-Karen like the woman in this next story would never let that kind of steamrolling happen. 

Not in her neighborhood. 

She was a rather new resident on the block. Built in the 50s, the neighborhood was stumbling into disarray, aging into a geriatrification mode that made most of the residents an easy target for predatory solicitors. Swayed by their ill-fitting suits, chipper smiles, and overt confidence, the elderly are often the target for many door-to-door conmen. Still, this woman wasn’t about to let her neighbors get taken advantage of by a gaggle of salesmen, and after giving them an earful for knocking on her ‘No Solicitors’ sign, she decided to give them a runaround lesson on consent and privacy… Even if it took her all day.
