You bought a house with an HOA.... you don't pay your dues.... you whine about THEIR actions???


your a idiot.

In before the "This is Merka - I do what I want!" vs. "Fark you - conform or die, riff-raff".

lajimi: I once gave one of these idiot rent-a-cops 10 seconds to open the flimsy gate for my FULLY LIT UP ambulance. He didn't, the gate went with me.

You're my new hero.

I love you.

HOA stories are always good for a laugh. And an appreciation we have nothing like those herds of self-righteous douchbags up here in Canadnaiananaa

Why would you order a pizza and throw pizzas when you're that strapped for cash?

Yay! HOA thread.

So she can't get pizza delivered because her husband is out of work and can't pay the HOA fees. Sympathy, I haz none.

Dumb biatch can afford pizza delivery but can't pay the HOA? Boo-farking-hoo. Get your priorities straight you entitled coont.

I'm not so sure about that.

My cousin lives in a neighbourhood that has a rule preventing you from putting laundry up on clotheslines. Her neighbour, however, once hung up a bunch of fish to dry out in the sun. It wasn't covered by the HOA.

/Apparently it was very stinky.
//Yes, this was in Newfoundland.

superoogie: riff-raff

Knows how to deal with unexpected guests.
/Hot, oh so very hot.

THIS

Eat beans.
Pay bills.

Hell I'd hit it.

(completely off topic yea but it's early spring and something has err... sprung)

RottNDude: Dumb biatch can afford pizza delivery but can't pay the HOA? Boo-farking-hoo. Get your priorities straight you entitled coont.

Yeah, you're right, $10 for dinner for a family is a huge extravagance.

Get your lazy ass to work and pay your dues.

Arbeit Macht Frei, baby.

superoogie: In before the "This is Merka - I do what I want!" vs. "Fark you - conform or die, riff-raff".

That's pretty much it... all we can do is hope for more to contribute a la lajimi.

I hate my HOA but I'm stuck with these ignorant f*cks unfortunately... because I signed on.

Renting in a place with a fairly strong HOA right now. The first two neighbors we met kindly reminded us that there are no kids under age 13 allowed to live in the complex.

I don't have kids, and I don't look pregnant. But all the other ladies that live there are barren old harpies, so...

According to the details in the article the husband has bee unemployed for up to a year. This means that they have not taken up temporary jobs, but have enough savings to budget and not get kicked out of the house entirely.

They do owe those fees since they agreed to them, but the community could work with them better.

I found out the county I live and work in requires all new developments to be part of a home owners' association. That means I must find a preexisting house if I wish to avoid that.

Some one at the apartment complex I plan to temporarily stay at went nuts and rammed all the gates off their mounts. That was a great two weeks of not having to stop and get a stupid access card out of my pocket.

Where are the idiots who said that you shouldn't rely on a government to protect your rights? This is a fine example of where it applies.

We're going to spend the next century overcoming the willingness of communities and individuals in the U.S. to give away rights to HOAs.

/The HOA bonus: you are fiscally responsible for whatever crazy way they wish to blow your money.

Gee, ya think???

Rock the hell on!

I bought a condo knowing I would have to deal with an HOA. The trade off is no yard work or exterior maintenance. Pick your battles people.

RottNDude: Dumb biatch can afford pizza delivery but can't pay the HOA? Boo-farking-hoo. Get your priorities straight you entitled coont.

Actually, HOA ranks somewhere between "recaulk the toilet" and "clean the gutters" on most people's priority list. Perhaps if the HOA folks didn't act like petty motherfarkers they wouldn't get treated like petty motherfarkers.

Farker T: Get your lazy ass to work and pay your dues.

Arbeit Macht Frei, baby.

I think I saw that on a gated community entrance once.

Why on Earth ANYONE would willingly live in a place like that is beyond me.

Hell, I don't even really get the appeal of "buying" a condo (since in my world, "buying" would actually mean ownership... what condos are is something else altogether)

I guess to each their own.

Emergency services high-five.

/against the law to impede anyone trying to save a life here
//doesn't cover anti-abortion protesters

That's the cool thing about owning a farm.

If I hired someone to harass my guests whenever I was late in paying fees to myself, I can just drive the tractor to the gate, rip it out of the ground with the backhoe, and prop it against the guardhouse so he can't get out and harass them.

Pay your bills

I imagine all HOA's are like that one episode of X-files. If you put up lawn ornaments some swamp thing looking guy will rise up from the ground and eat off your face.

They're $1,400 behind which doesn't sound insignificant. She's enjoying the benefits of the HOA that others are paying for.

A lot of HOAs suck but you know what you're getting into. You should, anyway.

First they came for the douchebags living in gated communities, and Farkers didn't speak out because they weren't douchebags living in gated communities.

tdyak: First they came for the douchebags living in gated communities, and Farkers didn't speak out because they weren't douchebags living in gated communities.

You must be new here.

If you live in a gated community I consider you to be a moron and have no interest in your problems with living in a gated community.

I own a condo and of course those have a HOA. That makes sense to me. You are giving up a little freedom for not having to do any exterior maintenance. We're also a small development (16 units) so it's easy to manage.

I do *not* get buying a full house that is still part of a HOA. That makes absolutely no sense to me as you are still responsible for all of your maintenance but have additional regulations to follow. Screw that hell out of that!

DigitalSorceress: Why on Earth ANYONE would willingly live in a place like that is beyond me.

There's a place not far from where I live that is a gated trailer park. A nicer one than most but still a trailer park. I fear tornadoes...

I'd live in one if it was guarded by rat things.

There is no such thing as "in good faith" with them. I paid my dues early this year, via electronic transfer from my bank. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the message that their bank had returned the check to mine. They accepted the next payment and then I saw a late fee notice in the mail. They had changed banks, which evidently they sent out a notice on (my bad). Okay, so they got the second payment early but still wouldn't waive the late fee for the first payment that I sent a month before that, despite records proving it?

Thanks lady, I'm sure you sleep well at night.

Real problem's at the bottom of the article:
"I moved here thinking, 'A gated community, how nice,' "

idiots deserve what they get.

You have additional regulations to follow if you own a house that isn't part of an HOA.

You sound like a renter.

real shaman: your a idiot.

/sorry pet peeve

Magorn: For people that chime in with "don't live in a HOA" what you fail to realize is that there are parts of the country like parts of FL and Northern Va where it is literally impossible to buy a house in sometowns that ISN'T part of one HOA or another. Hell many counties REQUIRE them before they'll approve zoning for a new development

And they just put a gun to your head and forced you to buy in, didn't they.

I know this, when I get around to buying a house, the words 'Home Owners Association' are a deal breaker. I will never own a house with one of those attached, period. EVER.
