'Screw your HOA': Anarchist teens outsmart their neighborhood's contemptuous rules, mocking them by maliciously complying to their technicalities

HOA stands for “Horribly Obnoxious Association” and they're the group of prying Karen's and Kevin's that make up the most outrageous rules for the neighborhood, simply to lord themselves over everybody, bolstering their superiority complex.
