Women Sued by city for her car tires on her lawn

There is a guy around here who was complaining about horse poop in the road.

Now a whole bunch of Amish have moved in.

You have to pity his poor panties

[FleetsidePaul]

There are some people that will complain about anything.

I went to turn the power on at a vacant house and the neighbor came out and went on a rant about the overgrown lawn.

Now keep in mind that this lawn was about as big as a postage stamp. Maybe 6X6 Ft. It would take about 5 minutes to cut the grass. And he had already held me up longer than that griping about it. So I said if it bugged him that much that maybe he could just run a mower over it himself.

He just turned and walked away and slammed his door.

I guess he didn't like my response.


Killer Bee...How many times a day do people stop and try to buy your trucks? My truck is fairly well hidden and I still get people asking me how much.

Nobody ever bothers me, but I live on a circle road where the only people that ever pass by are neighbors and a few visitors. My neighbors all know my stuff isn't for sale.

On a plus note, one of my neighbors picked up what looks to be a super nice 57 Tbird convertible! Going to have to go chat with him soon....

We've all heard the stories of over zealous home owner ass. heads getting all in other's business. Heck, there are a couple of tv commercials running this year with that being the story plot. You know the one with the woman taking a chain saw to someone's mail box posts saying it was 2" over regulation and cutting down their plants? HOA my ash! I understand the original intent of the HOA but some times that can get out of hand due to the ones in charge. Power trip. The Karen syndrome. We have some real nice neighborhoods here that do not allow campers or boats to be parked in the yards or driveways or more than one vehicle parked in front of the house. I imagine unregistered cars aren't allowed there either. That is no place for me.
I have seen a couple of videos a guy posted about one of his female neighbors calling the police on him for the color of his pickup. I kid you not. He showed camera footage of her standing in front of his home taking pics of his bright yellow pickup and calling it in. And get this, she lives a couple of blocks away from him. There are head cases everywhere.

You're going to fill up that new garage quick Jesse.

The bad news is that you're going to have to build another one.

I used to mow my neighbors yard for her.What the heck I already had the mower out. She didn't even have a lawnmower.

I was just trying to keep the neighborhood up. It had nothing to do with the fact that she was smoking hot and walked around in shorty shorts and had friends that were just as hot as her and they were always over there.

I was just trying to be a good neighbor... At least that's what I told my wife.

It was full before I started

I park the new stuff in there too. I'm 100% buying a wildfire 4 post lift. I have enough clearance on the other side to add a second if I need to store another car. The super high 13' ceiling had a purpose....

You're still going to need a second garage. There is no cure for being a car guy.

Cars are like rabbits...They multiply fast.

My neighborhood has a few covenants to follow. House has to be a certain size, etc. I did slightly break one rule in that unattached buildings are supposed to be under 900 square feet and "of like materials' as the house. Since many of my neighbors had already set a precedent this was a rather loose rule I built a 1200 square foot shop and matched the colors of my house.

Fleetside Paul reminded me that myself and three neighbors take care of the empty lot next door to me. It is a corner lot that adjoins my property and the neighbor to the west of me. It's about 1.25 acres and the lady that owns it only had it mowed about 1-2 times per summer and one summer not at all. So, us two and the neighbor across the street all take turns mowing it in the summer to keep this part of the neighborhood looking good. Probably the best empty lot in the neighborhood and she will not sell it.
I've lived here over nine years and have not seen her in over five. There are only four houses on my short street and we all take care of our yards. My 2.5 acres is sprayed, fertilized, and looks like a golf course for the most part.

Down the highway is a nice piece of property some folks moved in on about two years ago. Now there are two junk cars at the edge of the woods near the road. That's not too bad, it's the trash they have scattered all in their front yard and down into the woods. This isn't a small place either, I'd say 5-7 acres. Why can't people keep one junk pile and not scatter it?

I do the same. I mow the gas and power easements next to my house. We lived here since 2009 and I got tired of finding snake after snake in my yard, so I started mowing it all probably around 2011/12.

HOAs were created by pissed off homeowners who came to realize they could have bought ten acres and put a modest house in the middle for what they paid for their big house with no land where everyone can look at what the other is doing

Sorry. Don't mean to offend anyone. I know it's not all and maybe not the way I tell. But that's my take on it

[GOPAPA]

I was in way not happy that my wife choosing a HOA for us to move into after living on acreage out in the country back in Oregon for over 40 years . ""BUT"" after being here just a couple years I found that I like it a lot.. I live in a Cul-de-sac and no one has a lot of curb for company to park.. So, the rules is ,, no company rigs parked on the street ,, no cars that do not run on the streets .. take care of your lawn out front of your house and also get rid of weeds .. If you want to paint your house get permission with the colors first ..

I like all these rules and was ask to read them before buying a house in with these rules and signed a paper saying I accept them..

I like all the things I just mentioned and like the wife wanted this house in this HOA .. Just right for me .. Now , At My old place back in Oregon I changed the oil in my drive way to my shop .. some times spilling some on the ground .. I did not mow my lawn every week and had weeks that got away from me at times . I was in the country and with no HOA and I liked it that way

Now I like being in this HOA as the president who also lives in one of the houses him self ... all of our HOA neighbors which is around 100 all pay the same $11 a month and have been for the last 9 years .

I could of said no before buying ..and I almost did say no .. sure glad I didn't being retired and getting older and have the time to keep the yard up and feel good it looks nice .

This story sounds about right for Palm Beach county. Thankfully I live in an unincorporated area of the same county. No HOA's where I am, but we do get the county code enforcement out our way.

Who started this pee in public pools conspiracy theory? I've never peed in a pool, have you?

[Steeveedee]

Well, there is that scene from Caddyshack.

I DO know people who let their babies swim in the pool and the diaper leaks.

[Ol Blue K20]

Mmmm.......maybe........

[special-K]

We all know it's a fact about the kiddie pool. Those things have a higher water level at the end of the day!

[lil hoodlum]

If you ever catch me standing quietly over by the corner of the pool with a silly grin on my face..........
