'All flora must be HOA approved': Neighbors discover clever HOA workaround that lets them grow their favorite plants

HOAs rule with an iron fist, controlling even the tiniest of details. Home Owner's Associations (HOAs) are a thorn in the side of everyone who happens to plant themselves in HOA territory. Not every neighborhood has one, but the ones that do are able to spring huge fines on the residents. The group is known for fining people hundreds of dollars for parking in their own driveway, or keeping their boat outside where they can see it, or painting their house a slightly wrong shade of brown. Instead of tackling big issues, they're known to punish people who fail to bring in their trash cans immediately, and for going after kids who leave their bikes on the front lawn. 

Here we have a story of an HOA battle that seems minor, but does actually have bigger implications. This person just wanted to plant some plants, but they had to request permission from the HOA first. To be fair to the HOA, some plants are invasive species, while others grow super fast and are hard to get rid of (like bamboo or kudzu.) This person had their own workaround anyway: check out the full tale down below. 

Next up, these first dates went very badly, like one person who told his date she had to only "order off the dollar menu."
