Neighbors Sue Man for Working on Cars in His Garage
When we bought our first house the neighborhood was full of other families our age and we didn't know much about HOAs. We didn't find out until later that our HOA was also combined with the 55+ only "retirement" subdivision that bordered us. Turns out, a lot of 55+ year olds have nothing better to do than think about how much everyone else makes them miserable. They filled up the board of directors and spent their energies going out of their way to patrol our neighborhood for infractions like garage doors being left open and grass being too high. I guess it gave them something to do in their "golden years".
I told my wife if I ever get that miserable to take me out to a field and shoot me.
