Things That Annoy You

[nickiknack]

That this morning I decided to freak out over a Katydid on my phone. I don't usually freak out over bugs, but I just did for some reason, today.

when people say "on accident" instead of "by accident", I don't know why it bothers me, it just does.

It bothers you because it is bad grammar and they should feel bad.

I hate watching members of this forum argue so much. It makes me sad.

So I'm sitting in my dining room, talking to my brothers, when we look outside and see a woman standing in front of our house, writing things in a notepad. So we go outside to see what's going on, and she says to us that our house numbers aren't correct. They're supposed to be brass, and ours aren't. And then she tells us that we're not allowed to have toys in our front yard, nor is the recycling can allowed to be there.

Says who? Well, apparently there is a community board that has deemed what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for the houses in the neighborhood.

Then a man comes up and starts talking to us, and we learn that he's been looking into our (fenced in) backyard, and has taken pictures of everything they feel is a violation.

That doesn't sound very legal to me.

Wait.  Quick question but do you have a home owners association?

Ironbite-cause if not yeah...not very legal.  Also I hate HOAs.

[Jebediah]

Possibly. Probably, yeah.

[ironbite]

Look into it and then try to find out if you belong to said HOA.  If you don't...their rules probably won't apply to you.

Ironbite-also that's incredibly creepy thing to do

Tell them you're more concerned about the suddenly ambulatory assholes cluttering up the streets.

Should've told them you'd take pictures of them, because you feel they're a violation of your privacy.

Watch em writhe.

I will always avoid neighborhoods with any HOA bullshit for that very reason. Don't fucking tell me my numbers have to be brass, or my yard has to be a certain way, or what the fuck ever. I bought the goddamn thing, I'll decorate how I please.

[RavynousHunter]

I could understand if you had giant, bronze-plated dick statues in your yard or something, but they're always such pussies.  "You gotta have St. Augustine grass!"  "You gotta have my boot up your ass, get the fuck off my lawn."

That is the most ridiculous thing ever.

I know my grandmother's sister was forced to build a fence around her air conditioning unit because of a similar thing. Apparently air conditioning units are so unsightly that they must remain unseen.

You'll take my plastic pink flamingos only from my cold, dead hands!

My solution. Just smile and nod to their faces, then cover your house in Christmas lights and decorations.

Year round.  Never take them down.
