Your mailbox is a disgrace, and needs a fresh coat of paint, they said. Your flowerbeds are looking a little dull, get a gardener, they said. HOA likes to say a lot of things, and if you don't listen, well, you get fined. That's just how it is, and there isn't much you can do about it. The HOA members are always grumpy, miserable-looking people who have their noses high in the air and think that they're better than everyone else. They don't have much to be proud of in their life, so their lawn…

This husband is in hot water with his significant other after he left out a crucial detail about a work event . It all revolves around a certain work party: a dinner held to celebrate the employees meeting their financial goals. Every company has different etiquette rules regarding business dinners and other social events. Sometimes spouses are invited, sometimes they aren't, and some companies never allow a plus-one. This person, who has since deleted their Reddit account, shared that their hu…

It's not every day you hear about someone having a positive experience with their local HOA . It seems like 95% of the time, people share stories complaining about how controlling their HOAs are. A lot of Home Owner's Associations, or HOAs for short, have a habit of doling out fines for the pettiest little reasons. Some people have been fined for things like parking their cars in their own driveways, or for placing those little signs on their lawn that advertise the landscaper who trimmed the g…

A cartoon's lament

Joking about cheating on a spouse is unacceptable. Sure, you may fancy yourself a comedian, but putting someone through the emotional turmoil of thinking they were just betrayed is awful. And this dude is exactly that — awful. So, what exactly happened? Well, this couple was enjoying a nice date on their boat, out in the morning sun, when he suddenly became very serious and told her that he had something to tell her. Uh oh, that's never good. Although she was scared, she prompted him to go on.…

Avast ye scurvy dogs, this be my sunny nap spot

There is a reason why some people refuse to go on cruise ships. Perhaps these folks are suspicious about what's happening behind the scenes. Perhaps there's a fear of a Jack and Rose Titanic moment. Perhaps these tourists simply have better things to do with their vacation money. For the folks who never trusted cruise ships for a second, this thread, which was posted to the r/AskReddit subreddit, will likely confirm their suspicions.

'It went ham on the man's bounty of fresh fish'

Have you ever been on a boat? The wind whips through your hair, the sun shines on your neck, and it seems like all of your woes get left on the dock. That's why boating is such a dang expensive hobby– it's phenomenally pleasant! So if you're a boat enthusiast, it's probable that your boat is not only your fiberglass first-born baby, but also a deep, endless money-pit… which is why boaters always have the best insurance.

It's no easy feat to care for four children; the work that entails alone deserves an award. In this case, OP took to Reddi to gush about his wife, who he called a literal superhero. He began explaining her can-do attitude, her ever-lasting kindness, and her dedication to her kids and work. She runs an in-home daycare, in addition to taking care of two of her youngest children throughout the day. The way she put on a strong face inspired and continues to inspire OP — enough to make a long post a…
