    My grass is cut, my property looks fine. On 3 occasions they have tried to push me on an issue. My response each time has been “Are you sure that you want to go to war over that point?” and each time they’ve backed down.

    What were the 3 issues? <leans in>

    1. Decrepit Winnebago on blocks in the driveway.

    2. Collection of old appliances in the front yard

    3. Dealing crack on evenings and weekends.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      1. Toddler pool in the front yard.

      2. When our tree started coming down, I had to move some of the larger branches to common area out of the way from walkways until the tree removal company could arrive, which took 2 days.

      3. the exact shade of dark brown on the back of our patio doors.

              We currently have a big pile of crappy old lumber on our front lawn that was left behind by the guy who replaced the awful wooden support for the flower bed with a nice stone wall. I see this guy walk past every day, looking at it and wishing there was an HOA.

              At some point we'll hire a skip.

              I was only joking

                No HOA? A container of barbecue briquet lighter and a match ought to do it...

                  Someone suggested “HOA” as the term of venery for Karens.

                  “An HOA of Karens”

                    That checks out.

                    Also glad to see you've come around to accepting Karen in the vernacular, as a word that describes something we all understand.

                        I accept it - in the sense that I find the memes funny - but frankly I don’t like the idea that the culture decided we can have a running joke about people of a certain phenotype just because those phenotypes (white females of a certain age) are disfavored in the intersectional hierarchy.

                        Imagine an analogous memetic complex concerning “Laqishas” and whether or not it would get the same play.

                          Middle age white female is necessary for Karen but hardly sufficient. The resonance is about personality characteristics. Which are of course not exclusive to the phenotype.
