'Update: The HOA found this post': Petty HOA emails resident about birthday party, apologizes after homeowner shares their email with 6,000+ people online

These HOA members made fools of themselves, but they didn't realize how their words sounded until it was too late. 

The internet is forever! Most of us have been taught that since we first started surfing the web, because it's a very important lesson. Any selfie you post, any TikTok you and your friends think up, and any comments or posts will all live on forever. You may think that you're just some random person — who would ever bother to keep your information on the internet? But there are plenty of archives and automatic scrapers that'll ensure your words and images will live on forever, whether you want them to or not.

I suppose the bigger lesson here is also that anything you put into writing will also have staying power. Whether it's an email, text, or even a written note, that thing is going to last forever. This HOA is realizing that while their faces turn bright red — because they didn't realize how cringy their email to a resident sounded until tons of folks from the internet reflected it back at them. 

To the HOA's credit, there aren't many HOA organizations that would backpedal on their original message like this. You can check out the ridiculous first message and apologetic second one down below and see for yourself.
