‘I once again called promptly at ten o’clock.’ A Person Maliciously Complied With Their HOA’s Ridiculous Garbage Can Rules
by Matthew Gilligan
Oh, boy…
It’s yet another story about a Homeowners Association terrorizing its members.
But this one has a twist and it involves some malicious compliance.
Read on to get all the details below.
We think you’ll enjoy it!
I’ll let you know every time I use my garbage can.
“I’ve never met anyone that said “Oh good, an HOA.”
We all have trash cans, but the sight of them offends the delicate eyes of some, so I complied with the new rule of ‘no seeing bins from the street’.
I find a notice of my bins being out, which is surprising because I’m the only one who touches the cans and I know I’m 100% compliant.
I call in and ask why I got the notice. The full description says “Bins in driveway with lids off.”
I asked if this happen to be a Tuesday, and sure enough it was.
Wednesday is pickup, and I was doing my weekly cleaning.
I was using them, I calmly explained through gritted teeth.
“Oh okay I’ll remove the notice.”
Great, but how do I prevent this from happening again?
“Oh, uh….I guess notify us.”
Alright, I said, I’ll notify you every time I’m using my trash cans.
“Oh that won’t be necessary….”
Clearly it is.
That was five Tuesdays ago.
Today, I once again called promptly at ten o’clock and let Alan know I was about to use my trash cans.
“You know what, Mr. Endoman? I’m just going to put a hold on any trash can notices for you.”
Hey that would be swell, Alan.
That would be swell.”
Check out what people had to say.
One reader shared a story from their own HOA.
Another individual made it clear how they feel about all of this…ouch…
And this Reddit user took the time to defend HOAs.
Gotta say, everything I’ve ever heard about HOAs makes them out to be the absolute worst.
No thank you!

Related Knowledge Center: ENERGY BASICS: nuclear
Nuclear energy provides almost 20 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. Advocates have called for an expanded role for nuclear as an emissions-free fuel source. But the economics of building new reactors are daunting. In addition, lingering safety concerns are an institutionalized part of the calculation of nuclear regulation, and highly radioactive nuclear waste remains a can that public officials have been inclined to kick down the road. The Energy Information Administration projects a sharp decline in nuclear power generation over the next decade, as new nuclear plants — two are planned — are more than offset by anticipated retirements of several operating reactors.
