California parking lots can feel like battlegrounds on a good day, especially in major cities like San Francisco where finding a decent spot can feel like winning the lottery. But one California woman claims her trip to Costco took a seriously messy turn after a run-in with an unhinged woman, and it all escalated over a single parking space.
The situation, documented on TikTok by user @karenlekenn, began in the Costco parking lot as she waited for a driver to leave a coveted spot. According to the California creator, she had already been sitting there with her turn signal on when another woman, instantly recognized by viewers as Karen-coded energy, tried to swoop in and take the soon-to-be-open spot for herself.
Naturally, this did not go over well. A verbal exchange broke out between the two women, with the TikToker standing her ground about who got there first. Eventually, the original driver pulled out, and the content creator slid into the space. That should’ve been the end of the parking drama but a Karen was allegedly involved, so of course it didn’t stop there.
California Woman Keys Car After Parking Space Dispute
Once inside the store, the situation took an unexpected turn. According to karenlekenn, the same woman she clashed with, along with her daughter, allegedly returned to the parking lot and keyed her car, an act the TikToker says was captured on her dashcam and bodycam.
When she later came outside and confronted the pair, the California woman filmed the interaction for a follow-up TikTok. In the video, both the alleged Karen and her daughter appear completely unfazed as she informs them she has video proof. Instead of panicking, apologizing, or denying, the older woman casually smirks and responds with a nonchalant, “Of what?” as if she hadn’t just been accused of a literal felony in a Costco parking lot.
The TikToker, staying surprisingly composed, warns her: “Ma’am, the police is coming.” But the alleged car-keying duo refuse to even engage, looking off into the distance and pretending like the entire confrontation is a mild inconvenience at best.
She’s Playing Dumb
The video ends with the two women breezily waving goodbye as the older woman chirps, “Have a nice day.” Like nothing happened. Naturally, TikTok went feral.
Viewers flooded the comments with outrage, disbelief, and digital detective work. Some even claimed the California pair had been identified as Antonella and Sabrina Vicino. Rumors also circulated that both women deleted their Facebook pages after the videos gained traction, which only fueled the speculation.
“That’s a felony in most states,” one person wrote. “It’s the malice intent with the laughing and smirking! Sad! I am sorry that this happened to you,” another person stated.
Whether the police followed up remains unclear, but one thing’s for sure: parking lot drama in California never seems to stay in the parking lot. And with dashcams, bodycams, and TikTok detectives on the case, the days of sneaky parking-lot revenge are long gone.
