:notwrong:

Also another bonus : doing the install myself i can remove / did remove the Obama flow restrictior. :jizz:

The sprayer works WAY better now
Yeah, I never installed the :thanksobama: flow restrictor on my new faucet. It's got some good flow. :midol:
They usually come pre-installed. I remove them from every faucet I get.

We're having flooding problems, water conservation here isn't a concern.

Yea...we're not there yet thankfully...BUT

Lake levels are the highest they've been in years. They're so high that storm drains are flooding onto streets near the lakes, making them impassable. A number of neighborhoods are inaccessible.

So flow restrictions are a bit :butwhy: around here right now.

So, now that some time has passed, curious to know how the HOA meeting went at the start of the month if you're calm from it now to talk about it.

A select few people were straight up attacking me, and derailed the meeting to the point that we were not able to vote on the bylaws. We extended the comment period. I still have not gotten any comments.

They of course liked to talk about the door color, and I outlined my justification. They were all like "you are wrong" and I basically said its a matter of interpretation and these days I'm doing the interpreting.

It was stressful and they continue to be dicks both in person and online. Fuck em.

Meanwhile the lawn service fired the neighborhood. So I've been dealing with that, in addition to the bylaws.

yea. I suspect the old pres. wife called and complained a lot (which to be fair, they were slacking and I called a few times too) and they got tired of taking calls.

So my new beach house is in a condo corp, and I have the same sentiments as most people here. There is nothing worse than the old c**** that have nothing better to do than complain about their neighbors. This red door thing is an excellent example.

+1 for never again.

We have stupid rules, can't leave the garage door open for more than an hour, no parking on the road even in front of your own units, strict rental rules, front lawn landscaping restrictions, And the list goes on.

The complainers are so bad, it makes me think that I made a mistake and should sell the f****** place some days. And I haven't even broken rules yet, at least not real ones. I thought about pulling a Brad, and trying for president status. This, literally just to scrape away some of the b*******. Reading this a long thread makes me second-guess those efforts.

What I did learn though, is that the condo board has quite a bit of power. It's better to lay low and stay out of the Limelight. This is my goal LOL

Sweet baby Jesus, these people sound wound tighter than a thong that's holding on for dear life on the backside of a large woman. Do they really have nothing better to do than complain about a red door?

I'm sorry you have to deal with the bullshit like that, on top of having to deal with actual HOA stuff like the lawn service. At this point, I'd be leaving the door red out of principle and they can start talking to your lawyer if they want to continue down this path.

I don't blame you. At this point, I would try to ignore any discussion about the door and just heavy handed steer it to actual HOA business. And if they keep trying to derail meetings, consider barring people from entry if at all possible. I'd say the board should just start making decisions without votes if it continues, but that's a whole other can of worms that I don't think is worth opening really.

But seriously, it's a fucking door. It's not like you painted your house hot pink with rainbow shutters, it's a fucking door.

Yea, that is where I am at. If I don't get re-elected in the winter I'm sure they will try to do something, but I'll basically ignore them until they get an actual lawyer involved. Then its Article one, section ten motherfuckers.

The other thing is NO ONE wants to actually be on the board, and in a neighborhood of 78 home three positions area a struggle to fill. So I might run for all three and if no one votes for one I'd still be on the board :lolol:

Update from meeting with the rest of the board last night, got an update on the rumor mill / petition. We got very frank in discussions. FWIW, the ladies on the board have my back...they see the ugliness in these people's hearts.

They have circulated a little petition to 'make' us have a lawyer review the proposed bylaws. :butwhy: we agreed to have a vote on this and, uh, do it if they wanted us too.

But this is the bullshit....mind games. They cant do the meeting on the date we chose, so they wanted to change the date top the day before scheduled, and have it at their house, LOLZ. So :nope: to that. The peacemaker on the board suggested I have it at my house...LOLZ, :nope: they not welcome at my house. I suggested their houses...crickets...because they don't want that negative energy at their house either, and they admitted it.
I made the point that they don't control the narrative here, we set the meetings, they can make arrangements to be there or vote in absentee.

So I sent out the email this am with notice of the meeting. :popcorn: ...... but no :popcorn: because its self explanatory and very level headed. I predict they will try to make a stink and I will simply ignore them.
Good morning neighbors,

Per our last email, we have received comments on the proposed bylaws and incorporated them into the attached document. Please see the attached document for the comments in red underline; the original text is in red strikethrough. Minor changes will not include a comment from the BOD and will hopefully be agreeable to all at our meeting. Proposed changes that require further discussion have a comment on the right side of the document; this is the board's response to that comment. Thank you all for submitting your comments.

Our next meeting is scheduled for an undisclosed place and time you savages. Parking is always limited at this site so please carpool where possible, or walk if the weather is nice. There will be at least seven spots marked with cones for us to use.

For those that are unable to attend, there will be three major issues on the agenda. The board welcomes absentee votes on these issues, please contact one of us to submit a brief written statement signed & dated with how you wish to vote.
1. Approval of the proposed bylaws document.
2. Does the membership require the Board to have the proposed document reviewed by a legal representative?
3. Should the results for issue two (2) return a result of NO, does the membership wish to enact the proposed bylaws?

Other issues that will be briefly covered include an update on the change of landscaping service, duty officer patrols, and possible fall social.

We hope to see another good turnout for the meeting and look forward to seeing you there.
Oh, and update on trolling...... :trollface:

mostly because the guy is a spineless fuck face. Rewind.....at the last meeting the neighbor of ex president (and someone I went to highschool with weirdly) was trying to tell me I'd prob be good friends with them if not for this crap. he went on to say typical WPS, 'i mean the real thing we are all concerned with is property values' ...so I planted a seed. I told him 'yea, and that POS purple truck with its clearcoat peeling is really helping keep those up'. This truck is the ex-presidents toy I guess that he leaves in his driveway 24/7/365. Hard eye roll, walked away. Seed planted, he will 100% runtelldat :lolol: :trollface: :lolol:
So...fast forward a couple weeks. We are out walking the kid and fuckface is doing the lawn..i give him the cursory 'bronod' to be at least somewhat cordial. He looked me in the eye, as much as an invertebrate can, and did not return or acknowledge us.

Image

I pull out my phone in his full view and take a picture of said POS paint peeling purple truck.

:trollface: :trollface: :trollface:
:trollface: :fax: :trollface:
:trollface: :trollface: :trollface:

Now....I'm not a dick. I do not plan to actually do anything with this, because, not a dick. BUT I LOVE KNOWING they are sweating it out thinking that I will. Hope they like the taste of that shit they were serving. I will of course deny ever even considering doing such a thing...and I truly wont until they actually do something to me.
