Dumbest HOA Rules People Had To Deal With


A Homeowner's Association is supposed to make sure that a place is basically pleasant to live in, but many have the opposite affect. A really bad HOA is run by corrupt, power hungry people making self-serving and draconian rules about the exact hours one should take out their garbage cans. People have to deal with some real nightmare HOA situations.

Font - Gruneun 17 hours ago 2 e2 3 2 E 2 The first month in our townhouse, we got a notice that we had not mowed our lawn and were in danger of being fined. We didn't have a lawn. The entire yard was covered in topsoil, seed, and straw. The "lawn" turned out to be a single weed that was growing up in the shade of a bay window. I didn't pull it. I tied it to a stake and told them it was our garden.

My mom pulled a Clark Griswold and broke her ankle falling off a ladder putting up decorations before the holidays so a wreath was left on the front door longer than allowed. They got a letter with a picture and a threat of fine. A few summers later they and some of their neighbors decided to stick it to the man. They got a

Seriously, they claimed that everyones roofs were dirty and made the neighborhood look bad. It's not like they were covered in mold or anything, hell idk how a roof is even dirty but 268 of the 284 houses in my neighborhood were fined $75 for it. We found out later that the HOA president started a power washing business and likely just wanted to drum up some busines

Font - theschullz 22 hours ago My old boss lived in an HOA that demanded that trash cans couldn't be at the curb for more than THREE HOURS before or after trash collection. She got fined all the time because she was working during those hours and would have to bring it in late.

Font - L_bird 19 hours ago 2 e S House in the neighborhood caught fire. Luckily everyone was okay (they had small children), but the fire burnt a hole in the side of the house. While waiting for it to be repaired, the family covered the hole with a blue tarp to prevent rain from getting in and causing more damage. HOA fined them because the tarp was an "eyesore."

Font - nikkisissymaid 22 hours ago In my neighborhood, we are not allowed to have blue trampoline covers. They must be green or black.

Font - yawninggourmand79 20 hours ago I recently started renting a house in an HOA community. One of the first pieces of mail I received was from the HOA telling me that my fence had not been approved by the board and the house is in violation of the HOA rules. That was a fun note to get in the first week after uprooting and moving across the country with no money.

Font - Wit-wat-4 19 hours ago Can't take a walk after 8PM. Reason? People's dogs bark and apparently this is others' fault for walking outside...

Font - bolivar-shagnasty 23 hours ago Not allowed to park pick up trucks in the drive way with two exceptions: the Cadillac EXT and the Lincoln Blackwood. These were described as luxury vehicles. The HOA president also drove an EXT so he basically exempted himself from the rules.

Rectangle - Actuaryba 23 hours ago We have a landscaping committee. If you want to plant flowers, they must be approved by the committee before you plant them.

Font - Victoria_AE 17 hours ago Not my HOA, but when we were condo- hunting we looked at one community that had a changelog for their house rules. They'd been amended from no pets to allowing one cat per unit, and then two weeks later back to no pets. What did that cat do?

Font - Spookiest_Meow 21 hours ago My parents moved into an HOA a few years ago. I lived with them temporarily. One day, someone from the HOA went around to every house with a color palette of shades of white that were acceptable for mailboxes to be painted in. If the white paint on a mailbox didn't exactly match one of the shades of white on their color palette, the mailbox had to be repainted, at the expense of the homeowner. My parents had to repaint their white mailbox so its shade of white

They took the letter into the office and asked what fees they were referring to. The office lady was really rude and pulled out a piece of paper saying that my parents had signed a contract and they were legally obligated to pay their monthly dues and follow the rules blah blah Karen Karen blah. Well, when m

Font - Morall_tach 22 hours ago At my parents' house growing up, you weren't allowed to have the garage door open and illuminated after dark for 1) aesthetics and 2) bears. We got cited because we were packing for a camping trip, bringing things from the garage to the car in the driveway. When we pointed out how dumb that was, they said we could have done it without violating the agreement if we'd loaded the car in the dark.

Can't park your vehicle with the front or rear bumper sticking over the curb. Pick up trucks have to have a bed covering. No kids toys, including bikes and scooters can be left outside when not being used.... got a fine for that one when my daughter took a break to eat lunch.

BJ Novak Explains "Shrinkflation" Using Cadbury Eggs


All that "market research" has only manifested in us being robbed of the wonderful products like Cadbury Eggs that brightened our golden childhood days. For whatever reason, someone thought it'd be a good idea to mess with those Cadbury Eggs. Clearly, they hadn't heard the saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Food Caught Up in Intriguing Situations


It's not every day you see a structurally sound orb of Cheetos or an extremely long avocado. Food finds itself in some interesting shapes and locations, whether by accident or design. While silly and potentially weird, at least these uses of food are more noble than these cursed foods from Satan's Crock Pot.
