A woman has gone viral on social media after she was filmed by a teenager while trying to save a parking space by standing in it.

Per news.com.au, the incident occurred in Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, when a 19-year-old TikTok user named Marli McLaren was out for a drive.

As the footage above shows, Marli pulled her car up in front of the as-yet-unidentified woman, who was standing with her hands on her hips in the car parking space with her leashed dog. The woman explained that she was saving the space for her husband, who "doesn't like confrontations."

After another bystander intervened, the woman eventually took a step back, but then became irate and asked Marli why she was filming her, before threatening to call the police.

After Marli uploaded her footage to her TikTok account, a number of viewers branded the woman a 'Karen', and now her post boasts over 612,000 views, 68,000 reactions, and 1,600 comments as of the time of writing.
