A Retiree Was Sick of Cyclists Cutting Through His Yard—So He Designed the Perfect Trap

That night, Jordan uploaded his video to TikTok and YouTube. He titled it, “Retired Grandpa Outsmarts Cyclists with Cold Water.” The video showed everything: the rude man’s tantrum, Clarence’s steady responses, the police siding with him, and the officer writing the ticket.

It blew up overnight, the video had over 2 million views. Comments flooded in—some calling Clarence a genius, others calling him “The Lawn Defender.” News outlets picked it up. Memes were made. But the most surprising thing came on day three.
