At the beginning of the summer, our homeowners' association tried to fine us because of a beach towel laid out to dry after a day of swimming, citing it as "structural damage."
But what about all the janky cars people park in front of their houses? My car isn't beautiful, but at least it doesn't have mismatching doors or an obnoxious paint job.
Also, the other day I took a walk and saw that our down-the-street neighbors have a pot in their yard the side of Tut's tomb, and it's spray-painted with a bunch of ugly swirls of yellow and pink and red and orange. Yes. Like graffiti. As if this isn't an affront to the eyes. It's not even done in an artistic, kitschy way. It looks like some kid had left over paint from a school project and went at it. Actually, the more I think about it, that's probably exactly what happened.
Also, our next-door neighbors just moved, and instead of putting all their garbage in bags before they took it out, they just kind of threw it on the curb. I walked out to my car barefooted to get something, and dirty baby diapers were strewn over the yard like landmines. Now, I'm not sure what the HOA is supposed to do about this since the people have left already, but they could at least pay someone to clean it up using all the money we pay in dues.
I'm just saying, in a battle between beach towel and dirty diapers, there isn't much contest.
