Anyone know Trash Karen?

Buckle up for a long one….

Context: So I live on a dead end cul-de-sac of about 8 houses where we all know each other and are a very chill group.

The other week we all started getting these tags on our garbage bins from the city saying that our bins were improperly placed and they need to be in our garage.

But here’s the thing, most of the houses on our street don’t have a garage or a driveway. For years we have just all put them in the parking strip in a neat little way. No one’s bins are ever overflowing or in the street or sidewalk and they are easy to avoid.

Cut to two weeks ago when Trash Karen and her boutique dog come walking down the street taking pictures of every. single. bin.

I was on my porch and called out to her asking if she was lost (we are a few streets over from a park, so we often get folks wandering down our block looking for the entrance).

She then proceeds to tell me how our whole street is a blight on the city and it’s her mission to get us all fined.

When I went to take a picture of her taking a picture of my bins she started screaming (?) and quickly got out of there.

So here’s my question – does anyone know Trash Karen and what her deal is? Has she done this to you or someone you know? Can someone find her a better hobby?
