Homeowners' associations seem to aspire to be the group versions of "Karens." To wit: The Wildernest Home Owners Association in Summit County, Colorado, called the sheriff's office to tattle on a kids' lemonade stand that they said was blocking the road.

When officers arrived, KKTV reported, they found the kids were not blocking the road, "but did ask them to move back from the road a few feet for their safety," police said.

"The original reporting parties came out and began yelling at the children, claiming they were on private property … (but officers) determined the property was shared HOA property and because the children's parents are part of the HOA, they had a right to be there," the report went on.
