**WIBTA for refusing to pay my "voluntary" township HOA fees after they sent a cease & desist over my porch skeleton wearing a MAGA hat?**
TL;DR: Moved to a quaint township thinking “small government” meant *less* red tape. Turns out the Karens on the community board have a 47-page “Covenants of Aesthetic Sanctity.” My zombie (named “Larry”) was fine until I swapped his top hat for a red one. Now I’m getting passive-aggressive letters about “political decorum” and they’re threatening to auction my *lawn*.
AITA for writing “GOVERNMENT = SPOOKY” on Larry’s tombstone in retaliation? The HOA president’s Prius now has a “COEXIST” bumper sticker, but my lawn flamingos are suddenly on “probation.”
Go ahead, Reddit. Tell me I’m the villain. I’ll be in my compound, stockpiling mulch and mowing passive-aggressively at 7 AM. 🌽
