Guy Is Stunned After Receiving A Complaint From The HOA After A Child Burned Their Hand On His Hot Car
If you have never lived in a neighborhood with a Homeowner’s Association, you might not be aware of their reputation: being notorious for keeping their residents on a tight leash. From having the length of their grass monitored to needing to keep their trash cans off the street minutes after the truck has come by, homeowners in an HOA area are used to regulations. And while many people have complained online about their HOAs going too far before, somehow these organizations still manage to think up new ways to frustrate and inconvenience their residents.
Last month, one Florida resident named Christian shared on TikTok that they had received a complaint from their HOA about something even more ridiculous than they could have ever imagined. Below, you can hear Christian tell the full story and decide if you agree that their HOA was getting too power hungry. Then if you’re interested in reading another Bored Panda piece featuring insane HOA rules, check out this article next.

HOAs are no strangers to online criticism, as many have been called out before for enforcing strict rules on residents and meeting dissent with swift penalties and exorbitant fines. They all set their own fees, but these can vary from $100 a year in less expensive neighborhoods to nearly $600 a month in certain parts of New York. If a resident loves living in their neighborhood so much that they are willing to fork over hundreds of extra dollars a month, so be it. But paying someone to control every aspect of your home and limit how you are allowed to landscape, paint your front door, where you keep your trash bins, etc. just does not seem like a fair deal for many people.

Christian also mentions in their video that this is a “brand new HOA issue”, implying that there have been issues in the past. They might not have ever wanted to live in an area with a Homeowner’s Association in the first place, but sometimes it is inevitable. There are about 310,000 HOA-governed neighborhoods in the United States, so it can prove a difficult task if a resident wants to avoid one. But according to Spectrum Association Management, there are certain neighborhoods where membership is actually optional. And if you are living in an area that did not have an HOA but they decide to implement one after you have already bought your home, they cannot require you to join.
Regardless of what Christian’s personal opinions are about HOAs, the people in charge of their neighborhood cannot hold Christian responsible for a car being hot when it is obviously outside in the Florida summer heat. Whoever was with the child that burned their hand should have kept them off of Christian’s property in the first place, and the HOA should not have listened when a complaint was made about this. What do you think about this madness? We’d love to hear your thoughts down below, as well as any stories you might have from dealing with frustrating HOAs.
Viewers unanimously agree that this complaint, and HOAs in general, are ridiculous
Thankfully, Christian was able to post a positive update later

HOA suck they told us to take our pride flag down since people were complaining
Hope you kept it up and filed a discrimination complaint.
Load More Replies...The worst is if a house is under an HOA you can't say no to joining when you buy it. Hoa's are literally the opposite of American and they shouldn't allowed to hog property like an infected hive.
Damn near half the country is against personal responsibility. It is insane.
Load More Replies...When I started looking to buy a house last year, I found 2 really amazing houses with reasonable prices. I "noped" at both after reading the letters "HOA" in the listing. I wouldn't even go look at them.
Had a neighbor that had 2 corvettes (new and classic) a Cadillac and a Harley. Any of the kids in the neighborhood that touched his cars better expect to lose a limb. He worked long and hard to have those cars and no one touches them but him and those he deemed worthy. Great guy, former Army Drill Sergeant...don't mess with him.
I was picking up my kids from daycare and one of the door handles from the play ground to the classroom is in the sun all day (this is in the desert). I went to open the door and it was freaking hot! My hand hurt for a good 5 minutes. I mentioned this to the daycare and they did nothing about it. That's a case where the complaint is legitimate. But this is a car on private property and the kid was not supposed to be there so that's where the complaint is ridiculous. People need to consider the context.
Here's a well-known fact: objects that have been in the sun all day, particularly in the desert, are going to be hot. Not sure how you reached adulthood without learning this.
Load More Replies...That's insane...I would've countered for vandalism since there was a handprint left where the kid seared it's hand....lmao
We have a busy body that has nothing better to do than complain about everything and everyone to the management company in daily emails with photos about every nit picking thing. Funny part is he and his wife are the biggest violators and loose their cookies if you say anything about all their own violations. It's a real case of do as I say, not as I do. So sad that people have no life of their own and are so unhappy they have to find fault with everyone else to make themselves feel better.
Looks like a Tesla? I bet the parent heard something about charging fires etc. And assumed it was hot because from charging or something stupid, and not cuz the sun makes cars effing hot...I have heard of pple leaving notes on teslsas "informing" them its a "fire hazard" to charge and they should "research" on YouTube. Maybe this was one of those idiots?
I would have seriously followed through with a call to the cops. Parents like these infuriate me - heaven forbid little Billy be held accountable for trespassing and doing something really STUPID. The HOA should have explained to the parents that their obviously "unsupervised" child was trespassing on private property and had no business touching a car that did not belong to him. Shame on them for filing a complaint in the first place.
I would honestly report the parents for allowing their kid to trespass on my property and call CPS for child endangerment just to spite these busybody HOA parents. See how they like a taste of their own medicine.
These HOAs are getting ridiculous! People need to start suing them, maybe that will get the HOAs to eventually disappear!
Don't live in an HOA. That's as stupid as blaming someone else for their child burning their hand touching someone else's car.
Great story, and spot on replies. Shame he had to ruin it for me with the flex of the red sports car.
I wouldn't consider buying property in an HOA area, I'm not paying for something just so a lady with a bad haircut can tell me what I can and cannot do with/around it.
HOAs are a f*****g joke. Never buy into a neighborhood that has them. Just a bunch of karens /kens that have nothing better to do. Their life is miserable
Whoever is the top dog of the H.O.A. is needs their a*s whooped. I hate bullies and I would definitely retaliate. I wouldn't do good living in a place with a H.O.A. I can't tolerate busy bodies telling what I can and can't do.
is it just me who sees the trans flag on the thumbnail of this post but not on the actual photo???? whats up with that
I'm not sure I understand your point here. Is it harming you in some way to see a Progress Pride flag? The guy has a Progress Pride flag on his TikTok page, but why does it matter? He can "fly" any flag he wants to. And as Mary Rogers said, the TikTok clips show it, but the photos don't because they were cropped by someone at BP for the thread. And here's some great info for you if you'd like to read it: https://www.volvogroup.com/en/news-and-media/news/2021/jun/lgbtq-pride-flags-and-what-they-stand-for.html

It literally happens all over the world, not just in the US.

Not all people who live in a neighborhood with an HOA are rich and pretentious, dude.
