It seems like every day, social media introduces us to a new Karen moment, and the latest viral drama comes straight out of sunny California. This time, a young woman simply trying to enjoy a day by the pool found herself face-to-face with an older woman who aggressively told her to leave. The confrontation quickly escalated, and of course, it was all caught on camera.
The TikTok video, posted by user @Glamxxbysam, has now racked up over one million views and 180,000 likes, proving that the internet can’t look away from a little real-life drama. According to the clip, the young California woman was allegedly being harassed by two older women at what she jokingly labeled “the old person pool.” The video starts mid-argument, with voices already raised and plenty of tension in the air.
The woman filming claimed that she had done nothing wrong but was being unfairly targeted by the two older women. As the shouting continues, one of them, later identifying herself as Rose Guntz, marches right up to the camera. Instead of calming things down, she doubles down, announcing that she’s 70 years old and even reveals personal information like her full name and housing unit number (space 70).
California Woman Aggressively Calls Out Young Woman For Trying To Swim In The ‘Old Person Pool’
In the now-infamous moment, she looks right into the camera and snaps, “Get out of our pool.” She even follows up by asking the younger woman, “Where’s your grandmother?” Which only made things more awkward and bizarre.
While it’s not entirely clear what caused the argument in the first place, one thing is obvious: this California pool encounter was uncalled for. The woman recording seemed to keep her cool, even as she was being berated by someone old enough to be her grandmother.
Viewers had mixed reactions in the comments; some found the whole situation darkly hilarious. “Now she’s challenged your bloodline. How will you proceed?” one person commented. “She was waiting all her life to say that,” another stated. “She really got into character first,” a third person wrote. “Rose Guntz is a queen for standing on business,” a fourth person chimed in.
Rose Guntz Has Found TikTok Fame
The viral clip adds to a growing collection of “Karen” videos that have taken over TikTok in recent years. From grocery store meltdowns to parking lot confrontations, it seems there’s no shortage of people ready to go viral for all the wrong reasons. But this one struck a particular nerve, maybe because it perfectly captures the generational clash and entitlement that the internet loves to dissect.
In the end, it’s unclear how things ended after the camera stopped rolling, but hopefully, everyone cooled off literally and figuratively. Still, the younger woman probably won’t be returning to that California pool anytime soon. At least she walked away with a viral moment and one heck of a story to tell every time someone mentions Karens at the pool.
