A TikToker in Athens, Georgia claimed a woman called the police on her for eating on the lawn while sitting in a pool float.
Paige Smith, a.k.a. @smitttttybackup, posted the clip and wrote in the text overlay, "wait for end," but couldn't help spoiling it for viewers by continuing, "Karen called the cops!!!!!"
The clip, which she captioned, "buzz kill karen come on now wait for end," went viral with over 2 million views on Thursday.
A woman who appeared to be filming Smith with her cellphone was seen walking down the sidewalk, and a graphic indicated she was the "Karen."

Moments later, Smith was presumably confronted by the woman she dubbed a "Karen" off-camera, and Smith told her, "nothing to see here."
The clip then cut to a police officer inside a home.
Viewers shared their feelings about the situation.

Others thought the scenario was ludicrous and that there ought to be consequences for wasting police officers' time.

Smith said in a follow-up clip the woman called the cops on her a second time for playing her music loudly by the pool.
“It’s not even loud at all," said Smith.
Viewers couldn't help but comment on a noticeable sound heard in the original video.

In another part 2 video, Smith said the woman "does this all the time" and that her husband is "in on it too" and constantly reports Smith.
"I don't know what they have against us but they're always just finding something to get mad over, like making a noise complaint," she said.
The Daily Dot said they reached out to both Smith via Instagram direct message and the Athens police department for more details.
