    Font - When I was 9, a new neighbor moved in across the street. They had a 9 yo girl who had 2 pet bunnies. I became fast friends with the new neighbor and several of the neighborhood kids would regularly come by her house to play with the bunnies. For 2 years, everything was fine. No one had issues and we all lived happily in our white picket fence neighborhood. Enter HOA a-hole.

    Font - Now HOA a-hole lived on the other side of new neighbors. Our HOA was fairly reasonable (don't paint your house neon pink, cut your grass, otherwise you're safe). But HOA a-hole was high ranking on the board and had a tendency to nitpick about stupid things.

    Font - After 2 years, HOA a-hole had gotten bored and decided it was a problem that new neighbors had bunnies. Why? Because deep in our HOA bylaws, it states that you cannot have any non domesticated pets. Bunnies - even though theirs had never been left outside or hurt any of the kids - were considered non domesticated.

    Font - HOA a-hole made a stink to the board and insisted that something be done immediately. HOA sends a letter that the bunnies get gone ASAP or fines would start accumulating. New neighbor tried to go talk to HOA a-hole and explain that they're his daughter's pets, harmless, etc. HOA a-hole wanted none of it, smirked, and told his daughter to "tell Buggs bye bye".

    Font - What HOA a-hole didn't know is that new neighbors were only a few weeks away from moving back across the country to be closer to family. They'd done a private sale on the house, no signage outside, and most people didn't even know.

    Font - New neighbor could've just ignored the letter and he would've been gone before the fees could hit. But no, that would be too easy. What did he do instead? He drove to a friend's property in a rural area of town, captured 4 wild bunnies, and set them loose in the neighborhood the day before he moved.

    Font - And boy did those bunnies do what bunnies do. And where did they do it? In HOA a-hole's backyard, where he and his wife had spent years creating a bushy, flowery oasis.

    Font - Within a month or two the bunny population doubled. A few more and it tripled. Within a few months, our neighborhood was overrun. For the most part they were harmless, stayed out of the way, and added a homey feel to our yards. For HOA a-hole, it was havoc on his beautiful yard and he spent months petitioning that the HOA eradicate them to no avail.

    Font - 20 years later and the neighborhood is still a bunny hideaway. HOA a-hole still lives there and has long given up on protecting his beautiful backyard from the bunnies. All because he wouldn't leave a 9 yo girl's pet bunnies alone.

    Font - shuckaladon OP. 2 hr. ago Oh absolutely. A few of us knew about it and would make jokes. HOA a-hole absolutely knew too but wouldn't give everyone the satisfaction of admitting that he got got. Insisted for years that it was just a random insurgence

    Font - FormidableFloof edited 14 hr. ago . 14 hr. ago. Wild bunnies and pet bunnies sold in stores are two different species. Pet bunnies are man-made and can't survive in the wild. Wrong coat, wrong colors they can't camouflage in, heavy anatomy that make them unable to run from predators, 0 instinct when it comes with burrowing, etc. These rabbits belong indoor (wild rabbits live up to 1- 2 years in the wild. Pet rabbits outdoor live up to 5-6 years. Pet rabbits indoor live up to 10-12, even 1

    Font - Dull-Geologist-8204 +2.5 hr. ago A guy I knew bought some property in a rural suburb right outside Baltimore to make a drive in theater. It would have been really cool but someone threw a fit and got the project shut down. So the guy started a pig farm instead. They were more pissed about the smelly pig farm but there wasn't anything they could do about it.
