Because If I don't, I will certainly explode

Tonight, we receive a phone call from the president of our association. He tells us that there is someone in the community that has complained about where a guest of ours has parked his vehicle for the past two days. It is parked street side, just off the grass at the front of our home. According to our DOC book, this is where we are allowed to park. The ONLY place that we can park aside from our driveway. Not blocking sidewalks, not parking on the grass. That is where the truck is. But..we are being asked to move it because someone in our neighborhood complained. WE got asked to move. WE are not violating any of our rules. WE have been parking guest vehicles in the same spot since February when we moved in. Now, it is an issue. We are following the rules. I will say it one more time: WE ARE FOLLOWING THE RULES.

So, I ask our lovely president where we are supposed to park and do ya know what he told me? Park in the grass. Yes. In the grass. Where our DOC books says we are not allowed to park. Then he tells me that he is just giving me a "heads up" because the guy who complained also sent photos of the truck parked in this spot and mentioned the calling the police because we are blocking the road. So again...WE were asked to move the truck.

Our President, who we were under the impression was our friend, told said complainer that he would get us to move the truck. US. Who were following the rules. The same ones who have been busting their asses to try to help this community. The same ones who are paying all of our damn dues on time each month. The same ones who caught up the fucking dues from the past owner when their lives fell to hell and they had to vacate the house. The same ones who have been trying to get people involved in and caring for our lovely little community. US! Rather than growing a set of balls and explaining to the complainer that we were indeed not doing a damn thing wrong, he tossed us right under the damn bus. Then showed up here telling me that I shouldn't be upset because we were "friends".

Friends have each others backs. Friends stand up for each other.

So...today, I resigned from the violations committee. I also told him that we weren't hosting any more community meetings or events. Nor would we be attending the meetings, or supporting this community the way we have been. Because ya know, apparently, I don't have as many friends here as I thought. It's just a spot to keep my house. Not a neighborhood full of family like I thought it was. I get it now.

Wow, it really is all just politics.
