Non-HOA homeowner refuses to take down holiday lights because of HOA rules: '[I] told her to just get off my property... I've just had enough'

Bah-humbug! This HOA member is getting coal in her stocking after spending an inordinate amount of time bothering someone who isn't even in her HOA. 

If you live in the USA, you know just how intense people are about the holiday season. As soon as the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, all of the retail stores start to put out the Christmas and Hanukkah merchandise. And it's not just stores, either. A lot of people don't even wait until Thanksgiving before they start decking out their houses with lights or trimming a Christmas tree with beautiful ornaments. It makes the whole house feel warm and cozy! Unless you have the cold heart of this HOA member, who remained unmoved by this homeowner's choice of Christmas decor. 

When you're in an HOA, you don't have much of a choice about what you'll do with your home. You simply must listen to them, or face heavy fines. But when you're not even in that HOA… that's a whole different story, and you can read all the fun details of u/Alternate_chaos5150's story down below. 

Up next, have a laugh at some of these bakery mistakes and messed-up cakes, like one person who shared what happened when "the bakery department tossed seven different types of unproofed dough into the composting bin overnight."
