Alright, in all fairness we're not talking about a big bag of gold coins in this particular scenario, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't satisfying for the homeowner to find a way to screw over their HOA. Sometimes the petty revenges feel the sweetest. Maybe it's because you're not unleashing full destruction upon the recipient, but just enough that it could throw them off their game. Or hey, even if it doesn't throw them off their game, at least you can sleep easy at night knowing that you're having yourself a nice little victory. For some more HOA drama check out this HOA member who got a neighbor's car towed, so the neighbor returned the favor.

    Rectangle - r/pettyrevenge + Join u/Pichus_Wrath · 3d 1 I've found a loophole to screw my nickel- and-diming HOA out of a portion of their monthly fees. My HOA is the worst. They nickel and dime every opportunity they get, their online portal is atrocious, and they're impossible to get a hold of. They threatened to put a lien on my house earlier this year due to a missed payment (since paid), and l've been current ever since.

    Font - As it turns out, only one service fee is assessed per transaction, which means because I was paying both May and June in a single transaction, only $1.95 was charged instead of $3.90 for both months. And because there was a late fee of $1.24, I essentially wound up paying $303.19 instead of $303.90, a full seventy-one cents of savings. It's actually cheaper for me to miss a month and get a late fee, and then pay for two months with a single service fee. Savings of $.35 a month, every sing

    Font - keen238 · 3d We lump sum pay our dues a year in advance. The first year, they tried to reject it, butI pointed out that there was nothing in the bylaws about paying in advance. That way there's one "processing fee" and l'm never late. G Reply 1.9k 3 ...

    Rectangle - classicgrinder 3d Hahahaha this is so petty. I love it. Our HOA has a fee for online payments too but it only costs a stamp to mail them a check.... So we mail a check. It's extra work for them too. Eff you, HOA! G Reply 1 53 3 ...
