Teenager Epically Trolls HOA by Technically Not Breaking Any Rules

Homeowners associations have a bad reputation for being annoying as hell, and for good reason. Of course, not all HOAs enforce some of the dumbest rules imaginable, but there are enough painfully petty HOAs out there to tarnish the names of the rest. Stories like u/3-2-1-backup's are a delight for anyone who absolutely hates their HOA. In a recent r/maliciouscompliance post, u/3-2-1-backup recounts the time he checked the oil of his car in his friend's driveway. It was an act that took all of thirty seconds but would inspire many weeks of epic trolling, thanks to the petty HOA that tried to accuse OP's friend's family of breaking the "no car repairs" rule.

“...while destroying an old junker in the driveway. Didn't say you can destroy cars in the driveway!” said u/shytster.

“I'm picturing a teen just randomly wailing on a beater with a sledge and the look on the face of the Karen across the street calling in hoa complaints/violations...” said u/Darkassassin07.

“My theory on these sorts, is that they had no friends in elementary school, and spent their time tattling on everyone to make up for their lack of self-esteem. I am so glad I don't live in an HOA; I know I'd be arrested - absolutely no filter on me.” said u/Louloubelle0312.

“Unless ‘repair’ has been defined in this context, I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that jumping a car or inflating a low tire aren't repairs. Neither is an oil change or a tire rotation (those are preventative maintenance). Replacing a functional part with a newer and/or better part is also not a repair, it's an upgrade. ‘Repair’ suggests something that is broken or damaged and must be fixed.” said u/cmadler.
