A group of Karen’s is called an HOA
My daughter was a lifeguard at the pool in our community and they weren’t allowed to give out certain equipment (it was for swimming lessons). One day the HOA president asks for equipment and my daughter says no as she was instructed. The HOA president actually says “Do you know who I am?” Then he proceeded to call her boss.
We rented a condo from the people who owned it and it was associated with a HOA. We like to grow things but there was no balcony so we just had two large pots, one on either side of our door. We got a notice one day that we had to get rid of our only plants because they didn’t fit the aesthetic of the building, or something. Basically, they were too ugly.
They also didn’t have a room to discuss whatever it is they discuss at meetings, so they would do it in the gym for some reason. They’d move all of the equipment to the side and set up their tables and chairs and then never moved anything back. One time I accidentally barged in on them in my workout gear and I actually had the nerve to ask them if there was a boardroom I could work out in. I said it on my way out, so I don’t know what their response was. But yeah, we didn’t renew our lease there.
Really don’t get why anyone would choose to live with an HOA in the first place.
Obligatory “not me but”, a Texas HOA foreclosed on and sold the house of a soldier while he was serving in Iraq. Because he and his wife were behind $800 dollars in dues.
