Reason #17 why I am thankful, living without neighbors.

'Do I have legal ground to sue?': Karen accuses neighbor's bees of trespassing and stealing from her flowers
I swear, Karens just live for lawsuits. This one seems to think she actually has a compelling case here.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/F***YouKaren subreddit by u/Sasquatch4600, who shared Karen's strongly worded letter. Essentially, her neighbor is a beekeeper who harvests honey and sells it at the nearby market. This greedy Karen feels that she deserves some sort of a cut considering that the bees will occasionally fly into her garden and "steal" pollen and nectar from her flowers. She literally draws a direct comparison between this scenario and one in which a dog would trespass and "steal balls or tools" from someone's lawn. Hopefully, someone out there has the patience to tell this woman that these two scenarios are very much not one and the same.

Here's a friendly reminder to those who like to drink aboard cruise ships. Do not attempt to piss off the side of a ship.

A man who went overboard on a Carnival cruise ship this week has been rescued after being found in the Gulf of Mexico 21 hours after he had last been seen.

The 28-year-old man, who has not been identified, was a passenger on the Carnival Valor, which set out from New Orleans towards Cozumel, Mexico, on Wednesday, CNN reported. The man had been drinking at a shipboard bar with his sister, but disappeared around 11 p.m. after saying he was going to use the bathroom.
