You can try reasoning with people, but sometimes it's hard to get through to them when all the only thing they want to hear is the sound of their own voice. So, if you can't beat 'em… join 'em—with as much of a raucous racket as you can possibly manage… That's what these property owners decided to do when faced with ridiculously restrictive rulings of their HOA, choosing to comply with the new rule with as much noise as possible.
In typical HOA fashion, some bored board members decided to devise a new ultra-strict rule regarding the presence of bins on the curb. They deliberated amongst themselves and somehow managed to walk away with a rule that failed to consider any of the blatantly obvious variables surrounding it. For one thing, people have varying life and work schedules; not everyone has the privilege of sitting around all day worrying about when bins go out on the street. Another thing is the fact that the neighborhood wasn't even serviced by a single provider on a single day, meaning that bins were going to be out on the street during times that were just more inconvenient for everyone.
