'[His] neighbor decided to take it upon herself to report [him.]': Karen and HOA team up to take on guy who just wants to garden, he gets the last laugh

You reap what you sow, and when you cherry-pick rules, don't be surprised if those disproportionately affected by them dig up some dirt and lead you down the garden path…

This gardening uncle became the target of his HOA for violating their 'no fences' regulation after his Karen neighbor reported him for the small half-foot high picket fence that he placed around his garden. The HOA regulation was supposed to pertain to enclosing fences only, but the HOA's strict interpretation of their regulations allowed them to enforce it against any and all fences. The uncle decided to play into their strict interpretation game, and after combing through the regulations, he began to see a plan taking shape… 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/maliciouscompliance subreddit by Redditor u/stardenia, who posted the tale to tell the story of their uncle's brilliant revenge on the HOA and neighbor Karen for messing with his garden.
