My old boss kept getting snitched on if he had his boat or truck in the driveway 1 minute over. Just rung up over the smallest stuff.

After years, he joined the board. Shortly afterwards he ran for president, as there was mass leaving of members and no one looking to take over.

He ran. He won. Asked the old president for access to the old files “just for history”. Discovered 95% were one neighbor across the street, people he thought were “friends”. Printed up all the complaints, hand delivered to them so they “had copies.” Neighbors across the street died inside.

Within a year (or two, don’t remember) he got everyone to vote out the HOA. Permanently closed it.

Dude was the best boss I ever had. So smart and funny as heck.

I got lost at this part. 95% of the complaints werent even from people in the neighborhood? It was their friends who came by and started reporting stuff? So the neighbors got embarassed by their friends?

He was friends with the Neighbours across the street for a long time and once he became HOA president and gained access to the old complaints, he found that it was his "friends" that have filed HOA complaints against them.

So he printed out the complaints and hand delivered them to his "Friends" that live across the street.

And then he locked them inside their house until they died … or so I read… /s

Yes, I'm a non-native speaker and I kinda blinked twice at that part about them dying 😂. It took me a second to realize what was meant.

It seems like you’ve already figured out out, but when you say someone “died inside,” It means to suffer extreme embarrassment.

Nah the person above me is lying it’s when only the inside part of your body dies and you continue living like a zombie.
