Breaking into a home in certain areas, could lead to a fatal consequence for the one breaking in. I've chased two different attempted breakins off my property at gunpoint. My neighborhood has gotten much less safe in the last few decades. 😮
An electric fence could be allowed ONLY if it is the second fence inside property lines with a normal fence outside that for preventing coming to close to the electric one for people and aninals. The use of that can be to keep mooses out of garden (if those are around in the region) I know that those just cross normal fences 1m70 high...seen them doing that.
Everywhere in America that I know of, an HOA's authority stops at the door. Nowhere in America that I know of does an HOA have even the slightest legal authority over the inside of your home, let alone the right to enter it. It baffles me how there are so many HOA people who just refuse to accept laws around what HOAs can and cannot do
Going onto property to peek into windows, there are peeping Tom laws!! Breaking into a house is a big crime. There is no HOA that can just inspect the inside of a house. This Karen is insane!!!
I have a small murder of 3 crows that I feed every day. They peek through the leaves on the tree to see if my kitchen window is open and when I throw the food out (dry cat food) they come down and jump across the ground to the food. If I’m late, according to the crows, they will shout until I feed them. Loki and Thor love watching them from the catio or windows and the crows enjoy being fed so everyone is happy.
HOA Board members, take note! Just because you have a position of authority, it DOESN'T mean you have the "right" to invade the resident's privacy or the ability to perform inspections of any kind. Even if those "inspections" are stated in the bylaws, that's STILL invasion of privacy, and your bylaws do NOT override actual laws. There are only 2 right ways to go about it. Either leave the resident alone and keep the fines to actual violations, but be far less strict about it and keep away from non-members, or just don't become an HOA in the first place! The latter is preferable.
Often times the actions of these HOA's are dictated by just 1 or 2 individuals that think they have more powers than they actually do. If the rest of their 'constituents' knew what they were up to they'd be trouble.
In Canada and the USA, the Authority of an HOA/Strata/Condo Association etc. stops dead at the wall of your home. They can dictate (within reason) what you can and can't do with your Yard and the outside of your home but even if they can see it through the windows, they can NOT dictate what you can and can't do with the inside of your home (curtains, blinds, inside wall colour, carpets etc.) nor can they dictate how many people visit you, when they visit or how long they stay... If they try, you can Sue the Unholy Howling HELL out of them for Harassment...
I almost bought a condo in Hawaii a few years ago. The written rules for the condo included the blinds needing to be specific colors. There were lots of other rules too, but I don't remember them all. The realtor I was working with told me that was common in Hawaii. I don't like being told what to do, so even though I probably wouldn't have had different color blinds anyway that was enough of a dealbreaker that I didn't buy the condo. Perhaps the rules for renting vs owning are different for this, but many of the apartments I've rented have had rules about who can visit and for how long. I've needed to report to my landlords when my parents are coming to visit from out of town and I was told that the landlords might run background checks on prospective guests, not that that has mattered for me so far since none of my guests have records.
Story two.... is this rabid Karen an HOA officer/board member? If not she has NO REASON to be giving anyone "fines"!? Call the police as soon as she is seen inside the house! Get her charged and arrested for home invasion! 🤨
I bought a trailer in a senior park, was across the street from the park with a boat launch, and 1 mile from work. I was 35 at the time, but the park had to allow a percentage of under agers. When I moved in, I had a uhaul trailer to bring my gear in. Witch came out yelling, no commercial trailers. You need to park on the street, with no sidewalk, and carry your belongings up. I said you’re crazy. I backed the trailer and unloaded. She came after 9pm, drunk af, yelling no commercial trailers allowed. I walked her to the side, I said what does that say?it says uhaul. That means it’s a rental, a device to move my shit. I’m paying a daily rate, so that means it’s going back tomorrow. It’s not my business , just a rental. She went home, probably for more beers. She kept coming over during the next few months, complaining about whatever went thru her head. I just documented what happened from day one. Her husband died, probably from her constant complaining, and she couldn’t afford to live there, she moved, everyone was so happy. Then some thug moved on her old home, he’d beat his gf, left Fridays and came home Monday. Their dog would bark nonstop. I complained, the new park mgr covered for them, claiming poor dog. I said I’ve been told to keep my music down, yet a nonstop dog barking for 3 days is okay? Then I found out idiot threatened his neighbor, a nice older lady. Idiot got done beating his girl and she was walking away. I walked over and said hey effer, you think you’re a man yelling at my aunt, not really, but now you’re beating your gf? Little man wouldn’t look at me told me to mind my business. Well I called the police, he was gone the next week. Place was great for the next few years, until it was sold for new condos to be built. I sold my trailer 3 months before the letter went out.
I loved the petty revenge story. I have listened to many of your stories. I can’t tell you what type I like. I can’t do it as you read all great stories! Keep them coming.👍🤣❤️❤️❤️
@IIGrayfoxII Judge - "Sorry, I'm denying this restraining order on your crazy neighbor who literally committed a home invasion against you because she happens to live too close to you." Yeah, that makes sense.
@@IIGrayfoxII Yes, a court can issue a civil harassment restraining order against a neighbor to stop harassment. However, it can be difficult to get a restraining order because it restricts someone's freedom. To get a restraining order, you'll need to provide evidence that contact with your neighbor is dangerous or threatening. What happened here would most likely be enough to get one.
💫🌟⭐️🤓. I like HOA stories. They always boggle my mind. I used to live in an HOA (for people over 55) INSIDE of another HOA ( all ages). The fees were over $500 a month. They never gave us trouble but I was glad when we moved and weren’t in an HOA anymore. It was the only HOA I’ve ever lived in. Love your stories Ripe!
Bird story is Great. I live in the USA and the apartment complex does NOT allow feeding birds HOWEVER the state owns an easement SOOOOOOOOOOOO I am always feeding the birds.
Call the police! A stint in jail will do more against a crazy Karen than trying to be reasonable with her. You don't bargain with crazy. A regular legal electric fence isn't dangerous. It hurts like heck like a bee stink, but that's it.
It kind of seems like the guy on probation that didn't want to reschedule and then brought up the pot brownies seemed like he was hoping to get locked up.
Greetings again, great stories today & I am looking forward to more,, keep up your wonderful stories & I will see you all after the Meteor shower tomorrow,, be safe & well & enjoy your weekend,,,😹😹😹😻😻😻⭐⭐⭐🥃
The first story, the poster out of a possible score of ten gets a one hundred. A point for each cricket. I remember the story about the crows, that was a good one.
When you have crappy butt-hole neighbors (or HOA), cameras are a requirement, not an option. You should be discrete about the cameras. That way the butt-holes would keep up their actions and do something really illegal.
As a former risk seeking child, the electric fence is a tempting thing. Once came across an electric fence. It was around a farm, and clearly posted signs in regular intervals attached. My friends and I kept daring each other to go touch it again and again. A farmer (owner or farm hand I don’t know) spotted us before long and chased us off. None of us had a heart condition but that fence is meant to discourage the farm animals from leaving.
A couple years ago a house that was up for sale had an open house where the public could go look at it to see if they wanted to buy it. The listing agent explained that, although it was turned off while prospective buyers were there, that the fence around the house was electric. The owners had fruit trees and wanted to discourage wildlife from eating the fruit, so they put a 10-foot tall electric fence up around their yard. This was in a regular residential neighborhood, but the yard bordered a woods on one side, so I guess wildlife might come in from there.
When The neighbor put up the fence I would have hired a surveyor to come in and inform him that if it's on your property he will be sued out of the neighborhood
Electric fence: (1) About 40 years ago the area I lived in consisted of city blocks filled with 3-storey apartment buildings, about 30 apartments in each building. Unfortunately there was an uptick of break-ins, especially for the first floor apartments. A neighbour in a building across the street (a single female) had come home to someone trying to break in through her balcony door. She got nervous. She couldn’t afford a security system, but she was very handy. She bought the hardware for an electric fencer and wired it to her windows and balcony door (not the railings). No one would get hurt unless they tried to break into her unit. Yes, it was illegal, but she felt safe. (2) As a city girl I didn’t know much about electric fences (still don’t really), until I married a farmer. I’d be out mowing the yard and sometimes I’d accidentally back into the wire! A sudden pain in the rear, a tingle down my leg, and I’d carry on mowing being careful not to back up too far again. BTW did you know farmers run to shut down the fencers in thunderstorms? Apparently if lightening hits the fence while it is on, it can do a lot of damage.
I don't know what kind of electric fences you have in the US, but where I live, you can not die from touching one. They are high voltage low amperage pulsed devices and are painful but completely safe. The worst that can happen is that someone falls from the surprise of being jolted. Heart attacks could happen, I guess, but if you're that fragile, a scary movie would kill you.
I can't say for sure but I'm guessing that the crazy people didn't install a legal electric fence. You can get electric fences for bears that would instantly kill a person so the OP should be glad it wasn't like that! Even if someone did die those kinds of crazy people would have just blamed the dead person (even if it was a kid) that they shouldn't have been touching their fence! It would be completely not their fault. /s
@@JamesDavy2009 And? The type of electric fence we have for sale around here does not kill. Period. It may be ten thousand volts but a few ten thousandth of an amp... it does not kill, it just hurts since it causes your muscles to spasm. Even if you took it directly to the heart you would be fine since the pulse width is shorter than a heart beat. Anything that could kill someone is illegal.
The third story, that's the type of manager who would have seen my back, and no wonder the one manager quit likely, due to being expected to do the work of two or more people at the same time.
Last week we I had one of my properties surveyed. The surveyor busted out a drone. After loading a program the drone takes off and it moved automatically into position and bam huge red light from one side to the other of the front of the house. The program positioned the drone at the right height and position using gps, and then it uses a red laser light to mark the property line!! My mind was blown. Just a random tidbit lol.
The electric fence story. My BIL and SIL. Have a dairy farm and also raise some beef cattle. Around the pasture with the beef cattle, they have an electric fence. BiL called it a New Zealand fence. And said don't touch it. Because unlike the one around the dairy cow pasture, this one can stop your heart. Right after he said that a green piece of tall weed got blown close but didn't touch it. And it arched to the weed. Looked like a lightning bolt. Very scary. I've been shocked by a regular electric fence, and it smarts. But unless you have a condition like op, that is all it will do. Just really smarts.
Lets hope that the OP in the HoA break in story also got that note pad Karen was writing in confiscated too. She was probably writing down OP's personal information as well. That in and of itself could have Karen jailed. At least in my state it would.
Electric fence: If you grab the fence and hold on tight, it will not cause pain; it just feels strange. On our farm, we used the electric fence to protect baby pigs because the mothers could step on their babies, harming or killing them. I also had an electric fence in my dog pen to keep the dogs from climbing over the wall. also used the electric fence to keep kids away from our fruit trees. There is little to no danger from a I even talked a cousin into peeing on the wall it was worth the punishment.
PSA: Always have security cameras if you have an HOA or Karen anywhere in the area. Always immediately call police if crimes are committed against you or your property. Story 2: If she was inside my home she would be held a gunpoint until the police arrived to take her into custody. Get a Protection Order against her...and file a civil suit as well. Story 4: Ignorance of the law is never an excuse for breaking them.
S 1 At night on most days in the US, except say in south TX, NM, Ariz; loss of power need not be the problem it can be in a hot country like say Sri Lanka. The residents should take turns to open the main circuit breaker of the utility, serving the area, around 11 PM and close it by 5 AM
karen: *breaks into my house* me: well, hope she has her will wrote because I'm not taking chances that she might be there to kill me or not, *racks the charging handle on my M4*
Depending on how bad the Residential Area is, I think an Electric Fence might be a good thing... HOWEVER, that fence MUST be built in between 2 NON-Electric Fences and there must be enough space between the outer fences and the middle Electric Fence so someone reaching through the outer fences can't accidentally come in contact with the Electric Fence...also there must be WARNING ELECTRIC FENCE signs screwed to the outer 2 fences every 4-6 feet so there is no possible way someone doesn't know about the shock hazard BEFORE they try climbing over the fences... And of course, you must get the Proper Permits for the Fence before hooking it up to the Energizer Module and turning it on...
The electric fence being put up without checking local laws wasn't the most brilliant move. Also for someone with a heart condition, sometimes even the smallest of electrical shocks can become life threatening.
The title story, I'd have had the nosy neighbor not only trespassed, but also a restraining order that she was to stay a set distance away from my property, one that would be where that side of her property would at least be largely rendered useless to her. I would have had the distance laser measured, so that the distance properly.
Electric fence there are lots of regulations on them, mostly dealing with the need for warning signs placed every so often, the materials used, the height and as well the allowed energy per pulse. Not that they are banned, but that they are not to be used as the sole fence, there has to be another fence structure that they then reinforce, and that also there is deliberate action required to contact it, not just accidental.
We have an electric fence to keep the horses in the pasture, the pigs and goats away from wire fence which they will keep rubbing against and breaking, and the main yard fence to keep the dogs and pigs in.
HOAs should not be allowed. If a person buys a property, pays the taxes and all the bills/upkeep there is no one EVER that should be allowed to tell you what you can or cannot do with your property. The exceptions being those things that city enforces (like grass length, when the trash can be set to the curb...stupid in it's own right, but it is a thing where I live).
As for the electric fence. I can see how they can be dangerous to those with heart issues but they are not dangerous to children and pets. I have heard of people peeing on them and getting shocked, I have personally been shocked by them and once say a dog get shocked by one, the dog was walking underneath and his tail hit it. I really do not like electric fences but they are not uncommon around here.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I have worked in the farming industry most of my life and am here to tell you that even the strongest fence charger isn't strong enough to kill, my neighbor had one designed to keep bulls in, and from the type of fence that was described sounds like high-tinsel (they have ratchets that allows you to keep them banjo tight) and trust me I was weedeating that fence the next week and it touched the fence, it literally felt like i was hit on the soles of my feet with a baseball bat. So a normal person can touch it and not die, nor an animal because his girlfriend at the time brought her older dog and he peed on it!!!! Funny as hell to watch him run around his owners legs for several minutes yelping, my neighbor at the time claimed that he bet that would be the last time he would do it again
22:18 - seriously… who gives AF about small animals hitting an electric fence? That’s literally what those fences are for: keeping out animals and riff-raff. OP is definitely the A-hole.
Breaking into a home in certain areas, could lead to a fatal consequence for the one breaking in. I've chased two different attempted breakins off my property at gunpoint. My neighborhood has gotten much less safe in the last few decades. 😮
My house is not a gun free zone
@@Patriot46426hear hear
@@Patriot46426 did the karen even understand that if KIDS had been involved she could have been put on a registry?!
@@Patriot46426 But is it a weapons-free zone?
2A all the way!
Electric fence for a home??? HELL no! I think OP did the right thing by suing them into oblivion.
An electric fence could be allowed ONLY if it is the second fence inside property lines with a normal fence outside that for preventing coming to close to the electric one for people and aninals. The use of that can be to keep mooses out of garden (if those are around in the region) I know that those just cross normal fences 1m70 high...seen them doing that.
8:05,she says she is the owner of the whole neighborhood. Tell her she can pay everybody’s property taxes from now on.
If OP had done that, I would have loved to see her face 😂😂😂

Going onto property to peek into windows, there are peeping Tom laws!! Breaking into a house is a big crime. There is no HOA that can just inspect the inside of a house. This Karen is insane!!!
The ones who think they can inspect garages are also illegal
If she thinks she owns your house, start giving her the bills. No point of you paying them when she owns your house.
Final story: Why would anyone think they needed such a fence in an ordinary, quiet neighborhood? What weirdos!
Loved the crow bodyguards story. It is indeed a classic. 😁
I would have sued her to court to the maximum amount that has the judge disband the HOA
I have a small murder of 3 crows that I feed every day.

I would have added stalking to the charges. But that probably wouldn’t have stuck up because there wasn’t a paper trail with the police already.
What level of stupid do you have to be to take a vacation when there is an active property dispute?
Birds story: Very well done OP. But peering in windows in an area where there's likely to be some pew-pews in residence is not a smart thing either.
Call the cops, call a lawyer, call a cab, call the damn army, but call out all Karens. ALL OF THEM.

Gotta make friends with those crows.
There's only one reason for an electric fence. To keep large animals in. Even then, I'm not fond of them.
They are also used to keep animals large or small out of an area. i.e. a garden.

The third story, that's the type of manager who would have seen my back, and no wonder the one manager quit likely, due to being expected to do the work of two or more people at the same time.
Last week we I had one of my properties surveyed. The surveyor busted out a drone. After loading a program the drone takes off and it moved automatically into position and bam huge red light from one side to the other of the front of the house. The program positioned the drone at the right height and position using gps, and then it uses a red laser light to mark the property line!! My mind was blown. Just a random tidbit lol.
The electric fence story. My BIL and SIL. Have a dairy farm and also raise some beef cattle. Around the pasture with the beef cattle, they have an electric fence.
BiL called it a New Zealand fence.
And said don't touch it. Because unlike the one around the dairy cow pasture, this one can stop your heart. Right after he said that a green piece of tall weed got blown close but didn't touch it. And it arched to the weed. Looked like a lightning bolt. Very scary.
I've been shocked by a regular electric fence, and it smarts. But unless you have a condition like op, that is all it will do. Just really smarts.
Karen in Story 2: I CANT BE ARRESTED IM THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION!!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lets hope that the OP in the HoA break in story also got that note pad Karen was writing in confiscated too. She was probably writing down OP's personal information as well. That in and of itself could have Karen jailed. At least in my state it would.
Story 2...911? yeah I have a home invader in my house that has been shot.
2nd story.

Electric fence: If you grab the fence and hold on tight, it will not cause pain; it just feels strange. On our farm, we used the electric fence to protect baby pigs because the mothers could step on their babies, harming or killing them. I also had an electric fence in my dog pen to keep the dogs from climbing over the wall. also used the electric fence to keep kids away from our fruit trees. There is little to no danger from a I even talked a cousin into peeing on the wall it was worth the punishment.
High speed lead is great deterent to unauthorized entry and or break ins.
Went away for the weekend, and there were 200 plus Egyptian geese there close by enjoying the water.

If you ever lose to HOA in court, tell the judge they are the first member of your new HOA and the fee is $1000 a year.
🌟🌟🌟🌟
They should've said something about the fence when they came home Instead of waiting.
she broke into the house, OP could just unalive her and claim self defense from an intruder
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really wonder what my Akita would think if someone broke into her home.
PSA: Always have security cameras if you have an HOA or Karen anywhere in the area. Always immediately call police if crimes are committed against you or your property.
Story 2: If she was inside my home she would be held a gunpoint until the police arrived to take her into custody. Get a Protection Order against her...and file a civil suit as well.
Story 4: Ignorance of the law is never an excuse for breaking them.

The first and last story, it sounds like those neighbours are worthy candidates to be visited by Dexter, one night. And I don't mean your cat. jk

S 1 At night on most days in the US, except say in south TX, NM, Ariz; loss of power need not be the problem it can be in a hot country like say Sri Lanka.
The residents should take turns to open the main circuit breaker of the utility, serving the area, around 11 PM and close it by 5 AM
karen: *breaks into my house* me: well, hope she has her will wrote because I'm not taking chances that she might be there to kill me or not, *racks the charging handle on my M4*

In the US castle laws would permit lethal measures to deal with a break-in
The fourth story, fool around doing stupid win the prize for being stupid enough to find out.
why reddit channel like talking about the title story after the first one??
Depending on how bad the Residential Area is, I think an Electric Fence might be a good thing...
HOWEVER, that fence MUST be built in between 2 NON-Electric Fences and there must be enough space between the outer fences and the middle Electric Fence so someone reaching through the outer fences can't accidentally come in contact with the Electric Fence...also there must be WARNING ELECTRIC FENCE signs screwed to the outer 2 fences every 4-6 feet so there is no possible way someone doesn't know about the shock hazard BEFORE they try climbing over the fences...
And of course, you must get the Proper Permits for the Fence before hooking it up to the Energizer Module and turning it on...
The electric fence being put up without checking local laws wasn't the most brilliant move. Also for someone with a heart condition, sometimes even the smallest of electrical shocks can become life threatening.
The title story, I'd have had the nosy neighbor not only trespassed, but also a restraining order that she was to stay a set distance away from my property, one that would be where that side of her property would at least be largely rendered useless to her. I would have had the distance laser measured, so that the distance properly.
Electric fence there are lots of regulations on them, mostly dealing with the need for warning signs placed every so often, the materials used, the height and as well the allowed energy per pulse. Not that they are banned, but that they are not to be used as the sole fence, there has to be another fence structure that they then reinforce, and that also there is deliberate action required to contact it, not just accidental.
Why would you get close but behind her? Why would you even go in the house if you suspect a break in. Call the freaking police already.

Why the hell would you put an electric fence at your home! That's just nuts
We have an electric fence to keep the horses in the pasture, the pigs and goats away from wire fence which they will keep rubbing against and breaking, and the main yard fence to keep the dogs and pigs in.
@timrenwick1001 that's a farmhouse not a residential area
HOAs should not be allowed. If a person buys a property, pays the taxes and all the bills/upkeep there is no one EVER that should be allowed to tell you what you can or cannot do with your property. The exceptions being those things that city enforces (like grass length, when the trash can be set to the curb...stupid in it's own right, but it is a thing where I live).
As for the electric fence. I can see how they can be dangerous to those with heart issues but they are not dangerous to children and pets. I have heard of people peeing on them and getting shocked, I have personally been shocked by them and once say a dog get shocked by one, the dog was walking underneath and his tail hit it. I really do not like electric fences but they are not uncommon around here.
Hi all 👋👋

a karen talking about common sense when she has none the irony of that is just gold
That Karen shouldn't cross the line by doing that illegally

I have worked in the farming industry most of my life and am here to tell you that even the strongest fence charger isn't strong enough to kill, my neighbor had one designed to keep bulls in, and from the type of fence that was described sounds like high-tinsel (they have ratchets that allows you to keep them banjo tight) and trust me I was weedeating that fence the next week and it touched the fence, it literally felt like i was hit on the soles of my feet with a baseball bat. So a normal person can touch it and not die, nor an animal because his girlfriend at the time brought her older dog and he peed on it!!!! Funny as hell to watch him run around his owners legs for several minutes yelping, my neighbor at the time claimed that he bet that would be the last time he would do it again

22:18 - seriously… who gives AF about small animals hitting an electric fence? That’s literally what those fences are for: keeping out animals and riff-raff. OP is definitely the A-hole.
Was the bag of crickets tuppence a bag?
