Get off my lawn

She reached out her hand for me to shake, and that’s when I knew I needed Jesus, all the disciples, Mary, and Joseph to keep me lifted in prayer!

First, she comes marching into my yard when she thinks I’m not present, like a stealthy ninja on a mission to uncover our backyard secrets. Then she calls the HOA on me for putting up a much-needed fence, a move I never saw coming. And now, here she stands in my front yard with her hand stretched out, a gesture I never expected. It’s like she’s playing a game of ‘How to Surprise Your Neighbor’ and losing every time. 

If you haven’t read about this heffa, her rageddy husband, and my fence, then please click the following link The Nosey Neighbors

So, my husband and I need to replace the rotting wood in our bay window, but before we do that, we have to show the HOA board members what we are replacing it with. But I never thought that she would have the audacity to march her annoying self over to give me the green light or red light.

When I answered my door, there were three members of the HOA board standing there ready to view my rotting wood. They shook my hand, and then she dared to stick her hand out, and I was thinking I KNOW YOU’RE LYING TO ME, I should bite you.

But I didn’t say anything; I looked at her hand, and I might have growled —I’m not sure —but in any event, she put that hand back in her pocket. 

While discussing the options we are considering, she told me it would be best if I took her advice because she is an architect. After a long stare that dried out my eyes, I blinked and told her that her advice wasn’t needed or wanted, so she could pipe down and hush it up.

And by the way, this is the first I’m hearing that she’s an architect. I thought her sorry behind was a realtor, but nevertheless, she immediately started whispering to the other board member and then marched her musty butt back to her house.

And that’s when real business was discussed, finalized, and given the green light.

Out of all the blogs out there, you’ve chosen to read mine, and for that, I’m truly grateful. Thank you for being here!

  3. I had to research HOA to find out what it is.
    It seems you have a neighbour with “issues” , and it’s basically about them having the last word and living in your head.
    I’m suspecting they are some sort of narcissist, in which case..
    -limit contact
    -do not yeild to them
    -be at peace

    Make a point of getting along with the HOA, and getting any conversations in writing (email or text is fine) if possible.

    P.S. neighbour is probably not an architech.

  4. I agree with Uncoffined, all discussions with the HOA should be documented in writing. Even after a telephone call, one can write an email to the HOA with what has been discussed with whom, date and time. We also have HOAs in Denmark, and I would always try my very best not to buy a house in an area with HOA. Denmark has ample rules to start with in connection with property, we don’t need any extra rules.

  7. People on power trips. Nothing more frustrating. Love how you stood your ground and stood up to a Bully. “And that’s when real business was discussed, finalized, and given the green light.” I wanted to stand up and cheer reading that. Hang in there Belladonna. Good for you!!!!

  10. Ohhhhh man, the HOA peeps. I be watching YouTube videos on them. I know there is mostly negative view out there on topics, but geez I guess some of the people in them, based on how they be trying house owners, needs to be aired out, like nah, we don’t shake hands over here. 🙃
