My girlfriend's condo association has received complaints about my car

Because the guy who always parks his small car in the lines, follows all the posted rules, for some reason is a menace to society because my car is recognizable, and violates a rule that isn’t written anywhere. Nice . Whelp, I guess I’ll go move it so more people who park on the lines can get room in the mostly empty visitor parking lot. Why yes, I’m a little miffed.

DISCUSSION (33)

Fuck them. No violation of a written rule = they can’t do dick.

That’s my thinking.

Is this about the FIST? FFS, it’s not like it’s anything that crazy.

This is from your neighbor who’s secretly super jealous of your car, right?

What are the complaints, exactly?

CB > WilliamsSW

But it’s green . And he parks there all the time! (once every two weeks) And he’s only allowed to park for three days once a month! (there is nothing written anywhere that says that)

Ehhh that becomes a mischief issue, which I’d rather not be involved with. And the rule is that I can only park in visitor parking for three days once a month, which ignores the fact that a) it doesn’t say that anywhere, b) it’s the first time I’ve been back this month, and c) there’s plenty of visitor parking.

The complaint is that I’m break the rule of only parking in visitor parking once a month for three days, which is weird because is that it doesn’t say that anywhere.

Don’t feel miffed. You have ascended to the fourth level of Oppoism.

TheRealBicycleBuck > CB

How many days a month are you parking there? There are often laws which determine whether you should be classified as a resident. In many places in the U.S., if you stay in one place for more than 30 days, you are considered a resident and a different set of rules applies. Is there alternate parking that doesn’t require a resident permit and isn’t in the visitor spaces?

CB > TheRealBicycleBuck

I park there maybe six or nine days a month, not all in a row, and I do actually pay half the rent, I’m just not on the lease. And nope, only assigned spots, and I’m going to try and see if I can just pay for a spot.

Should’ve bought a beige Toyota.

CB > vicali
12/08/2018 at 14:37

A beige Toyota with an obnoxious exhaust?

TheRealBicycleBuck > CB

Then there are no issues!

Being mad at a housing organization?

I’m still salty at my parent’s neighborhood’s homeowners association calling my $600 Alfa 164 an eyesore. Clearly they just have no appreciation for fine Italian design(albeit an Italian design that was in very serious need of some fresh paint) .

This is why I love my Kia. Not very recognizable and one of several white Kia’s in my neighborhood.

Then you have the ST and truck ... Not stealthy

Kinja'd!!!

I have an owl in the tree in front of my house that shits like a terradactyl so I parked a couple houses up where there’s no trees. Street parked. Public property. Public street.

Some people just live very, very small lives.

As a (former) president of my HOA I can testify that most people on HOA boards are asshats (myself excluded of course...)

Yet another example of why I will never live anywhere with a HOA. They're a cancer on society and the people who run them are generally oxygen thieves with nothing better to do than rule their small little empire.

Hahaha they didn’t go that far.. Although my dad and a few of his friends were on the board because they hated the shit from it so much they figured they could get elected and then make sure the common lawns got mowed and things like that , you know, fulfill the purpose of a homeowner’s association but not get into everyone’s shit. But there were still a few 60+ stay at home moms who needed to feel like they still had authority over people now that their kids had moved out who caused a ruckus over stuff like that.

In fact, apparently my Alfa turned out to cause quite the argument. I ended up the winner though, when my dad got tired of their shit and decided to make a point by parking his car in the street and letting me leave my crappy Alfa in the garage.

God I miss t hat thing.
