It's time for the people who run these HOAs to find something better to do with their lives. These folks need real hobbies. Read a book, do a puzzle, take pilates, etc. As long as you get off the backs of your fellow residents who, believe it or not, are just trying to live in peace.

In this instance, we have a resident who recently threw a low-key birthday party with a group of friends in their own home. In terms of visitors, the resident explained that there were about six vehicles in their driveway and two other vehicles parked normally on the side of the street. Somehow, this party caused a stir not because of the noise level or the time of day, but rather, it was because of the type of vehicles these visitors drove…

    "HOA Freaks Out Over Black SUVs at Birthday Party"

  • That's right. The vice president of this resident's local homeowner's association wrote a strongly worded email following their birthday party about the fact that some of the visitors were driving SUVs with blacked-out windows. Apparently, this raised the anxiety levels of their fellow neighbors in the community and caused enough of a stir that now, the resident had to be punished for it.

    The email I just received from HOA. The people in the SUV were regular people who were my friends. This is just weird. Am I supposed to tell those people to rent a Prius the next time around?

    FYI this was a very tame party. No loud music. About 6 vehicles in the driveway and 2 on the street and everyone parked in a decent manner.

    < Concerning Event During Your Recent Birthday Party Inbox] 8:33 am g to me ▾ Dear ☑ . I hope you're doing well. I wanted to reach out regarding an incident that occurred over the weekend during your birthday party. A few of us in the community couldn't help but notice the arrival of three blacked-out SUVs, which quite frankly, startled and unsettled several of your neighbors.

    It's really concerning to see such vehicles showing up in our otherwise peaceful, family-oriented neighborhood, especially without any prior notice. As you can imagine, the sight of them raised a lot of questions and caused quite a bit of anxiety. Some residents even thought something more serious was happening The whole situation was, quite honestly, alarming, and we had no idea how to react.

  • Several members of the community reacted to the ridiculous email and gave the resident a series of suggestions in order to get even with the vice president of the HOA and to drive the whole HOA board insane. Here are some of their comments!

    FamiliarAnt4043 . Tell them that security protocols prohibit you from advising them prior to having these friends visit. Then, give them the phone number of the nearest Secret Service office and tell them to call if they have any questions. Think of the fun to be had.

    GeneralTonic To whom it concerns, You recently contacted me to disclose your anxious reaction to our birthday guests. Your concerns are baseless, unwarranted, and frankly, embarrassing.

    cdb230 Ok, here is what you do. Get more friends. Get everyone to dress in suits, except one guy. Maybe two. Load them into the suvs. Drive to the community like before.

    Everyone who looks the same quickly exits the vehicles. They look around, point at things. The ones that are different get out after and walk to the door. After they are in the home, everyone else quickly rushes into the home.

    Connect_Hospit... Can I use the word Snowflake in this situation? Because I think it's apt. Just wow... how do you even live in society with this kind of mentality?
