It's no secret that HOAs can be nothing more than an invasive nuisance 90% of the time.

This Redditor's story serves as yet another example of how a neighborhood HOA made an already stressful process worse. The Original Poster (OP) was in the process of going through a move and had not yet received his proof of registration sticker for his car. For the record, he had already gotten his car officially registered online and was simply waiting for the sticker to be shipped in the mail. Yet somehow, his HOA sought the opportunity to make a stink out of this temporary situation, even going so far as to threaten to tow OP's car. Mind you, the car was parked in a spot that OP already pays for in a condominium that he also already pays for… unfortunately for him, this HOA, like all the ones that came before it, seems relentless.
