Even though parking a vehicle is a fairly straightforward manoeuver, there are times when frustration can rear its ugly head. This is usually because parking spots can be quite difficult to find, especially when it’s a busy part of the day like rush hour, for example. A startling incident in California occurred recently over a parking spat, and it concluded with a spiteful Karen attempting to pour alcohol into the victim’s engine bay, before throwing the can directly at the man’s face. The heated exchange was caught on camera and is circulating online at the moment.
The initial buildup to the video centers on a parking spot, which the Karen claims is hers. However, the Karen’s vehicle has stopped about three parking spots away, in a black SUV, and is allegedly about to reverse back into the space. The man in his white sports car can hear the woman yelling, though it’s not clear what she’s saying. Nevertheless, you can hear the man respond with, “Whoa, I hope you know not with that kind of attitude. Why are you way up here, then? You need to back up that far to get into a spot like that?“
As the pair of drivers continue their tense exchange over the parking spot, other cars can be seen lining up behind the red car in front of the Karen. The man yells, “But, nah, you already lost it. Don’t even worry about it. You already lost it.” The male driver proceeds to park in the spot, and you can hear the Karen shout, “You’re f**king dead!”
Shortly after, the same Karen can be seen driving past again, but this time she stops and exits her car. Interestingly, the woman doesn’t realize that the driver is still in his car, likely because the windows are tinted and she can’t see inside. With a can of alcohol in her hand, the Karen walks over to the white vehicle and she appears to look around to see if anyone is watching her.
Surprisingly, she then attempts to pour the alcohol into the man’s engine bay through the vent on his bonnet, but there’s a plot twist. The man is in his vehicle, and he quickly exits his car, which shocks the Karen. As she scampers away, the man follows her back to her vehicle, though as the vehicle begins to move away, you can see the can getting flung directly at the man, which hits him directly in his face. At the end of the video, a short snippet of context gives viewers a little more detail:
*Called Police right after and showed them the video. Said they’ll run the DNA on the Beverage that was thrown and issue a Felony Warrant for the girl and possibly charges for the driver for being an accessory to the crime*

In addition, the OP left a comment on the same post to give further context following the incident, writing, “Update: PD already identified the girl in the video. Driver will not get charged. The girl in the video is getting charged with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon. Now we sit back and see what the DA decides to do with this case 👀”
How People Are Reacting to the Parking Spat
While most reactions condemned the Karen’s spiteful actions, some viewers were left dubious about the DNA claims. One person on Reddit wrote, ““run the DNA on the beverage” Yeah, f*cking, right. 🤣🤣🤣 Those cops forgot about this by lunch.” while another similar sentiment remarked, “They aren’t running dna.”
Elsewhere, over on Instagram, one user expressed what we all were thinking, penning, “You were so lucky that you were still in your car when she did that. Must’ve felt great to catch her in the act” while another commenter added, “They were 3 spots ahead. That’s too far past to claim that as your spot, & if you need that much room to back into a spot, you don’t need to be driving 😂” A fifth comment made light of the entire situation, exclaiming, “I love how he doesn’t even flinch as the drink hits him“
