One would think that living in an HOA neighborhood would mean safety and protection, but in reality, it means pettiness and fines. Of course, it’s not easy to get on the good side of HOA board members because these are the folks with Tracy Flick sensibilities, years of under-explored resentment, and backward authority complexes.

Some people are born unlucky.

If you're going to illegally dump your trash on someone else's property, you should probably make sure nothing has your named and address on it.

Genius idea.

Any takers?
