Disgruntled neighbor throws tantrum over resident not being included in the HOA: 'He’s on a kick about making [the] HOA exempt houses join'

Misery loves company. That's not just what Kathy Bates's infamous character Annie Wilkes believed in Stephen King's aptly named Misery, but it's also what real humans going through life's everyday inconveniences want as well. You would think that decent people wouldn't need to see other people go through what they went through in order to feel whole, and yet, there are enough folks out there who can't bear to see other people experience, well, happiness.

This especially extends to one's living situation. When I have seen my friends undergo apartment searches and find better deals for better spaces than I could have ever discovered, I can feel the urge to justify my less-than-stellar situation. However, I'd like to think that I'm mature and secure enough to stop myself from taking away someone else's joy. 

This guy's neighbor, however, was not as secure with himself. In fact, he wanted all the non-HOA residents in the neighborhood to experience the misery of what it's like to be in the HOA rather than let them steer clear of that strict existence.
