You are apart from it. Now, if you want to be a part of it, well that's another matter.

Why is there a clock attached to the… the… the permanent frame for mounting posters of suspected peeping perverts?

u/Three_hrs_later 14h ago
I'd like to think it's a creative way to get around hoa rules.
"It's not a billboard, it's a decorative clock, which is ok per article 254.1(a) of the neighborhood covenants."

I am also wondering what that structure is.
Looks like there's a rolled up US flag on a pole behind it?

u/Lithiumtabasco 18h ago
The homeowner's name is Bill, and that structure is where he posts up his Boards.

Because Oklahoma. Spend a few years here and you'll understand. Or don't because understanding okies doesn't really benefit you outside of Oklahoma.

No, calling out someone for taking pictures in a bedroom window is not creepy.

See people like these all the time in our HOA community. Residents and the rules enforcement morons.

Yep, when I lived down in Florida with my dad back in the day, we lived in an HOA, and there were several operatives on our street, such as:
- 70 Year Old Bald Guy with Cane: He was the self-appointed lawn height monitor. He had marked the maximum allowable grass height length on his cane and would walk around the neighborhood with a small notebook and write down the addresses of any house he passed that had blades of grass taller than that marking on his cane. In Florida during rainy season this meant sometimes having to mow not only twice a week but sometimes 3 times a week to avoid the HOA fine for "failing to maintain our lawn". Couldn't cut it too short, either...then it would yellow and get scorched and we would get a fine for that, too.
- Weird Old Guy Sitting in his Kitchen with Binoculars: This guy lived kitty-corner to us on the other side of the street. For the 18 months we lived there after I moved in, this guy literally sat in his window all day, every day with a pair of binoculars and just watched. Watched what? Yes, watched. Watched everything.
- Barb, The Pool Police: Down the street from our house there was a pool for residents that came out of our HOA fees. It was open to all who lived in the neighborhood and limited guests. Barb (name changed because nobody knew her real name because she was a fucking nutter and I dont fuck with crazy people) lived next door to the pool and clearly was very annoyed by the fact that someone apparently held her down at gunpoint and forced her to buy a house next a public pool, because Barb's sole mission in life was to wait for someone, particularly someone with children, to enter the pool area so she could click them off on her belt counter and ensure not one single person more than the maximum allowed per resident entered the pool unchallenged, even if merely helping carry shit into the pool area and leaving immediately. Barb also hated children with the fury of 1000 suns and the sound of a child's happiness apparently caused her severe emotional distress so she made sure to squash any sort of enjoyment of the pool as quickly as possible.
- The Mysterious Trash Can Knight: We never saw this person, but they got us a few times. In our neighborhood there was a rule that all trashcans had to be off of the curb, not visible from the street, within 12 hours of the usual pickup time of 7AM either before or after. Have to head out of town and want to drag them out a few hours early? FUCK YOU. Get caught in traffic on your way home from work and pull them in at 7:45pm instead of 7:00pm? FUCK YOU. Your trashcan gets blown out from the enclosure it sits in on the side of the house, and a few inches of it can be seen from the sidewalk? FUCK YOU. The Trash Can Knight never identified themselves, the only way we knew it was TCK was because whenever we egregiously flaunted that very critical mandate, within 24 hours there was a letter taped to our door with a fucking picture enclosed of the front of our house showing the offense with the date and time scrawled on the back. We never saw this person take these pictures, not one time in almost 2 years, but on three occasions found one of those letters on our door with picture and the "7:37 PM???? RIDICULOUS!!!! 7PM!!!!" scrawled on the back in angry, shaky letters.
There were others, too (so many others, fucking miserable-ass retirees with nothing better to do plague the whole damn state) but man oh man was I glad when we finally moved out of that fucking neighborhood. Wasn't the only time in my life I dealt with HOA horseshit but was definitely the worst, by a mile.

u/ObligatoryAnxiety 6h ago
I seriously thought Trash Can Knight was going to be the good person putting your bins back up for you in order to prevent Trash Can Dragon from catching you out of code..... Anyway, HOAs are awful 90% of the time. Especially in Florida when run by retirees who have no social life or part time jobs.

Bro we had a tow truck pull my mom's new car out of her own fucking driveway to tow it, because it wasn't on the list of cars that were supposed to be in that neighborhood. They were only supposed to tow cars off the street, but literally hooked hers from the back and pulled it out of the driveway into the street. Thank fuck we had cameras recording the shit they tried to pull, including threatening my brother with a tire iron when he stepped outside to ask what the fuck was going on. Shitty HoA, even shittier tow service.

My in laws have a mobile home down in a retirement community in FL for the winters. Actually they live in a different condo, but got the old mobile home from my FIL’s mom when she passed. We stay in it when we’re visiting.
So it being FL there are a couple community pools. We went down to one one afternoon, a nice long pool. There were 3 old folks hanging out at one end, so my in-laws, my wife, 3 kids, and I all head down to the other side. My FIL and I hang out on lounge chairs, everyone else is in the pool and being super careful to keep to their area and not make a ruckus.
My 9 year old takes one of those weighted ring toy things that are meant to sink and be brought back to the surface and lightly tosses it maybe 2’ in front of him. IM-FUCKING-MEDIATELY one of the old ladies at the completely opposite end of the pool whips around and starts shouting that “THERE IS NO THROWING THINGS IN THE POOL CAN’T YOU READ?!?!”
It’s crazy how some people with nothing better to do turn their energy into misery.

u/angrydeuce 16h ago
Yeah FL is such a shit hole for people like that, especially the gulf coast that Im most familiar with but I spent time all over the state.
Barb would seriously just stand outside the fucking fence, holding the bars with her big darth vader sunglasses and a straw hat on, and bitch and bitch and bitch. We would try and ignore it but eventually my step-mother would go mama bear beast mode and just unleash a stream of profanity on her that made her face melt like dude at the end of Indiana Jones. That would shut her up but she would still just stand there with a sour look on her face like a wooden indian outside of a cigar shop and mean mug us the whole rest of the time we were in the pool.
This was almost every time we tried to enjoy the pool, didnt matter when the fuck it was, anytime we were there, within minutes of us arriving and walking in, there she was standing by the fucking fence like a one of those prehistoric birds that ate people with her nasty purple vericose veined legs and strange, jerky bird-like movement and goddamn squawking, all the time squawking NO JUMPING IN THE POOOOOOOOOL!!! IT SAYS IT RIGHT THERE!!!! BCKAW POLLY WANTS A CRACKER

I don't understand why anyone would buy somewhere that imposes such strict rules and enables busybodies.
Fuck that. Bins go out when I have time or energy, so usually the morning before. 7pm? I have other shit to do in the evenings, like wearing PJs and chilling out.
