re: For those of you who live on a lake......

I had to deal with this crap every week many years ago. The upscale neighborhood had a 5 acre little lake, owned by the neighborhood, (It was really a retention pond called a lake) About 40 houses or so on the lake. It had a damn dam. The Assn owned the damn dam property and paid taxes on it. It had a good bit of fish in it. Kids for other areas and probably the Assn too would trash the dam area or launch boats there which drove the super anal bird lovers there bat crazy so they starting telling everyone they owned the dam and put up posted signs, saying no trespassing etc. Then they started telling the other residents they couldn't fish on the lake, and a lot of people were pissy about people not on the lake fishing in the lake, even though the dues were paid by everyone (200 plus homes) and about 25% of the money was spent on the fricking lake.

I had to tell them they didnt own the GD damn, and they couldnt restrict access to it from other members or the lake, and that if the shite disint stop I would request the HOA could just vote to drain the lake or give the property to the city to which would make it public and everyone would have access. This shite went on for years, and I was actually almost glad when Katina killed all the fish.

Yankees and retired military were always the worst mfers to deal with. Basically people want their property and privacy and to be free from other people whether they have the right or not.

They also didn't ever have kids and didn't like them.They liked birds and squirrels. (80% of neighborhood had kids) If that is you move into a fricking retirement community or the woods.
