13. This HOA was unconcerned about a coroner's visit to a deceased neighbor.
"I used to work for a major paint company, and on one specific delivery, the painter informed me that his grandmother had died unexpectedly in the house, and he was repainting to remove the remaining odor." He showed me an itemized bill, showing that the HOA charged the family $100 per hour when the coroner parked in the driveway.
He obviously refused to pay it, and he eventually sold the house (they tried to charge him $200 for having the 'wrong' light fixture next to the front door), but HOA's are simply petty old folks who have nothing. Better to do."
