'The pool is closed... what you may not know is the reason': HOA board makes startling decision without informing homeowners

Ew, no one wants to go swimming in a green pool. It happens to every pool owner at some point: you go a few days without adding chlorine, and one morning you awaken to a pool full of bright green algae. The good news is that it's often an easy fix: you just need to shock the pool with some chlorine, or find a pool maintenance person to do it for you. But this person, u/Otherwise_Hunt7296, realized that their green pool problem might take a bit longer to solve than they'd planned. 

It's all due to this person's HOA, or homeowner's association. If you've ever had to deal with an HOA, you know that they're not often helpful to regular people. Instead, they thrive on handing out huge fines and taking their sweet time to fix important problems. The people who live here pay for that pool, and I'm sure they'd like to go swimming in the summer. Instead of a simple fix, the issue is stuck in an email thread, as this resident shared. Commenters gave them some helpful advice though, as you can check out below. 

Up next, read about some of the most outrageous reasons couples chose to split up and get divorced, like one dude who "divorced his wife… because she would sleep with a nightlight."
