Got a letter from the HOA yesterday
Actual letter
In an envelope
With a stamp
In 2026
The letter said my trash can was visible from the street for too long on collection day
The fine is $50
I checked my Ring camera
The truck came at 7:03am
I brought the can in at 7:14am
11 minutes
$50
That's $4.55 per minute of trash can visibility
My therapist charges $250 an hour
That's $4.17 per minute
My trash can sitting in a driveway is now more expensive per minute than therapy
I looked at the letter again
It was signed by the HOA president
Her name is Karen
Of course it is
I know this woman
She lives four houses down
She still has Christmas lights up
It's March
I know because I drive past them twice a day
And because that's what I do
I checked the HOA bylaws
All 47 pages
Section 4.2 says all exterior fixtures and lighting must be seasonal and removed within 30 days of the applicable holiday
Her lights have been up for 97 days
I went to the HOA meeting
Tuesday night
7pm
In a church basement
Folding chairs
Fruit platter that nobody touched
Seven people showed up
Four of them were on the board
The other three were there to complain
I was there to read
My wife came with me
She didn't want to
But she said "if I don't come you'll end up on the news"
I brought my legal pad
Karen called the meeting to order
She talked about community standards
She talked about property values
She talked about the importance of curb appeal
From a woman whose Christmas lights are still blinking in March
I raised my hand
She said "we'll take questions at the end"
I said "it's not a question. It's a point of order."
She looked at me
I opened my legal pad
I said "Section 4.2 requires seasonal decorations to be removed within 30 days. Your Christmas lights have been up for 97 days. You fined me $50 for 11 minutes of trash can visibility on collection day while you've been in violation for over three months."
The room was quiet
One of the other three complainers said "he's right"
The board members looked at each other
Karen said "that's a separate issue"
I said "it's the same bylaws"
She said "we'll review it"
I said "I already did. Page 12. Happy to share my highlights."
My wife looked at the ceiling
Some things never change
Karen said "I think we should move on"
I said "agreed. I'll move on when the Christmas lights do."
Nobody laughed
I wasn't joking
I paid the $50
Because it's $50 and I'm not going to die on that hill
But if the rules apply to me they apply to everyone
So I filed a formal complaint about the lights
With photos
Timestamped
Funny how surveillance works both ways
The fine for seasonal decoration violations is $75 per occurrence
She's been in violation for 67 days past the 30-day grace period
I'll let her do the math
Or I'll do it for her
Because that's what I do
Make common sense common again
Plz fix. Thx.

The Midwest is very segregated. If it weren’t for teachers and field trips in elementary school, I might’ve only seen white people once a year tbh

I think people think I be over exaggerating when I say I used to go days without seeing white people when I was a kid. The only reason that stood out to me because I went from living in NYC to living in Detroit.

@illbearound2024 @Fullcourtpass @CourtsideBuzzX We use motherfucker in our culture when someone’s trying to be pushy you’re taking up for a grown ass man who’s begging for autograph
English

@lucklefty24 @Fullcourtpass @CourtsideBuzzX He should. Calling people motherfuckers asking them if they understand English and then crying to the blacker nerdier version of Obama (Nate burleson) about immigrants is too much sanctimonious bullshit for me

@Fullcourtpass @CourtsideBuzzX His autograph is worth basically nothing, he’s an asshole and then goes on tv today and cries about how immigrants are getting treated.
Fuck this guy
