    *Note - this is basically a rant lol
    It's not great. Spent all weekend dealing with HOA drama so intense I shook with anxiety for the whole day yesterday. TL;DR version of it is a small group of owners believe that there is some malicious misallocation of budget funds, that building management is mishandling everything, and that the current HOA board is covering it all up by not being transparent; this group wants to remove the current board and elect a new one at a special meeting, not at a regular meeting, which only requires that 1/3 of owners come instead of the required majority at regular meetings. Notably, I think given what information this group had at the time that certainly things looked a little sus. However, the HOA president cleared everything up in a very detailed email with evidence, and while it was enough to convince me and a few others, since then the small group has doubled down and been increasingly arguing in bad faith (ex: sneaking into a relatively inaccessible alley to take photos of a tenant's porch after the tenant denied them access to their home because of COVID). They've taken to basically name-calling and it reminds me of high school all over again. Thankfully the meeting is in a couple weeks and then this should all blow over after that, but in the meantime I'm worried about what they're capable of.

    Why do grown adults behave this way?!?!?!

    @chgilmore JFC that sounds like a mess. I really wonder sometimes how some people can act the way they do. We had one of those at work yesterday, the customer approached my coworker and asked if we had a very subjective and general category of a product (like walking into a shoe store and asking for "semi-fancy" shoes). When my coworker asked for more details, the customer said, in a very condescending tone, "You really should know what I'm talking about when I say [category]." So rude. It was like walking into a bookstore and getting pissed the clerk doesn't know exactly which book you mean when you ask for the blue book.

    @fantasyflyte ugh yes exactly! the entitlement there sounds obscene. just because someone is in customer service doesn't mean they're your personal servant and even then, that doesn't mean you get to treat them like they are subhuman and without respect or decency!

    @anniemarie887 exactly! one of their gripes is about a board member needing to be removed because he shouldn't be eligible in the first place but 1) he was voted in unanimously by who was present at the meeting and 2) correct, they weren't even there and didn't set up proxies to vote in their place. 

    y'all I just want to be friendly with my neighbors, maybe even be friends with some of them. community is so crucial.

    @chgilmore lol the most I've ever talked to my neighbors was during the snowpocalypse last month, when we were all outside in 15 degree weather freezing our a$$es off 😂 my husband has the cell #s of the people on either side of us, so we can text about missing packages/mail etc, but that's about it. We're not involved in the HOA at all, and I'm ok with it.

    @pajamstagrams being involved is stressful tbh so I get it! I'm also somewhat of an activist type so I tend to get all excited about voting/making voices heard/etc, lol.

    we live in a small condo complex (think 1950s style hotel/motel for layout - about 36 units) so we're all a little closely packed together, and MH and I used to live in the same apartment building as some friends and we got familiar with being able to see each other pretty often and just drop in on each other (text first of course) to go out or hang or whatever. we're fairly social so we miss having that and since we now own, we were looking to get involved more with a community of people who don't just leave after a year or two. covid obviously makes it hard but so does the hostility.

    @chgilmore yeah thankfully we don't have any hostility that I know of in our neighborhood. We're just not super social people (introverts for life over here 😂), and our neighborhood doesn't really have events (esp. in covid times).
