the HOA hates us...

The relator left out the tiny little tid bit of information that we were signing up to be proud renters in a community ran by a Home Owner's Asssociation, and we've already found out that we are the youngest people in the building by at least 40 years. Oh, and what a blessing, we share a wall with the President of the HOA. Greatttt.......

Last night we had three run-ins with board members. A few people even felt it necessary to come knock on our door to remind us of more rules.

• quiet time is from 10:00pm-8:00am
• "guest" parking in front is not for overnight parking, and while we have a guest parked there, they need to leave a note that says their name and what condo they are visiting.
• while moving in, we need to use elevator pads.
• Plus, they are already not happy with us because nobody notified them that renters were moving in.

There were more things that we were repeatedly reminded of, but sadly I let Jackie take most of the heat. I was nowhere to be found when the doorbell rang. That's not a bullet I'm willing to take lol. She'd answer the door while I hid around the corner and listened.

I think we violated the "quiet time" in every way possible. Washer and dryer were both running, tv was on, and we both took showers. People are going to hate us but hey I'm okay with that. We stepped out of the elevator last night on our qwest for Taco Bell and got sneered at. There were two old ladies hanging a HOA sign on the wall in the elevator lobby, and one turned to look at us and very audibly said, "Stupid kids."

Hey now lady, no need for bitterness. You'll soon come to learn that the ruder someone is to me, the more obnoxious I become. You know that tiny lil sign in the elevator that says "Maximum 15 persons". Keep it up, lady, and I'm going to take that as a challenge.

And when it's summer time, I'm gonna find me a little plastic kiddy pool and fill it up on my porch. I'll sit out there, splash around, listen to music, and have my own little mexican fiesta, coors light in hand, during YOUR nap time.

Then I'll steal your big plant and door mat that are outside your door, and even though our doors are right next to eachother, I'm sliding them to my side and will cause a scene when you try to take them back. Looks like that's the way it's gotta be.

I'm sorry it had to come to this.
