Seriously, how is it these HOAs can just randomly destroy peoples property without any agencies giving any approval? The victims should be awarded MUCH more than they get.
Here in the US we have a federal law called RICO. The racketeering and organized crimes law. I don't understand why the HOA which in most cases is corrupt can't be prosecuted using that law.
They can't. But courts are adversarial in many countries around the world, and if someone goes to the court and presents their side, but the other side either never shows up or shows up but doesn't refute anything, the court assumes the only one giving testimony is right, and rules accordingly. This is why only a true idiot ignores a court summons. Plus, bad people like HOAs seem to irresistibly attract are usually liars - they see nothing wrong with lying in court if it gets them what they want. What gets me though is that argument that people close to but outside of an HOA can be annexed without their consent by the HOA is literally insane - if it had any validity at all, there would be no such thing as non-HOA land, because anyone adjacent to their border would be annexed, and then a larger ring of properties would be adjacent, and after annexing that larger ring, then a still larger ring would be adjacent, etc. In very short order, literally as fast as the HOA leadership could file paperwork, the entire country would be inside of their HOA's borders.
Oh and JUST this morning, news from Connecticut..a guy gets a call while he is gone that someone is building on his property. Turns out a company from South Africa "acquired" his property through fraud, and built a million dollar home on it, and refuse to give his property back.
I would have sued for over a million. Because the house value aside, there's the value of all the personal belongings and emotional distress as well. 🌟 🌟 🌟
Not knowing if this was outside the US, or even which state if within hard to know how he could have handled this, but if she acted as an agent of the HOA, every member could be liable. Dissolving the HOA might not he enough, and insurance for them would likely be voided by criminal actions. Perhaps it was all he could get, but like you I would have sued everyone and everything.
Sadly, different countries have different laws, so things like emotional distress might not factor in. More irritating was the fact that the contractors and legal offices didn't do their own due diligence.
The original purpose of HOAs was to stop "those people" (usually blacks and/or certain groups of immigrants) from living on any property within its area of effect. Literally racism. So, yes, they need to go.
@@arthurvasey Remove their ability to attach covenants to property deeds - this would instantly strip them of any rights to affect the use of a privately owned piece of property. I'm in a neighborhood that's currently in the middle of a huge explosion of construction - there are nine houses being built within one block of my address, and lots being cleared for at least six more. (When I bought my place, the neighborhood was about half forested.) Fortunately they're not all from one developer as a planned community so the odds of a HOA forming are very low, but I'm not joining s**t if one does.
Not all HOAs are bad but it does depend on the people in charge just like the government. Take "imminent domain" for example that allows the government to force you to sell your property because they think they can get more tax money from it.
I would be having a judge tell that Karen she now owes me treble damages for this since technically the house is not in that HOA and I never wanted any part of it.
As a disabled person , I hired kids to cut the grass, shovel the driveway . I have two sons. One was born severely club food. It was very hard for him to stay on his feet more than 5-7 minutes. The other son worked long. Paying a few bucks never hurt my budget
@@AngelArm1110 Clubfoot is a birth defect affecting the feet. Which depending on the severity will impact a person's mobility and even the ability to stand.

It's hard for me to imagine an HOA's name being stained any worse than they already are, but Karen definitely accomplished that. I hope she got enough time in prison. With bathroom breaks every 20 minutes, does that really leave much time for learning? Great stories, Ripe. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Knowing a person who spent 3 years in an Asian prison, and how he was when he returned, she would definitely not enjoy it at all. Meals, one bowl of watered down rice soup in a bowl, only meal of the day. You want a blanket to sleep on, and a thin foam mattress, you worked in the prison workshop all day. Want to actually have a meal that was identifiable, you worked harder. Want to have a shower, or soap, you were worked even more harder. He came back both a third lighter (and he was skinny to begin with), and badly malnourished, with lots of nerve damage, from lack of vitamins and protein in his diet. 2 years after he came back this killed him.
@@justicedemocrat9357 Where did I say I actually believed it? Great stories are often fiction. Much of what is on the internet is dubious at best, yet I can usually find some entertainment value in it. Out of courtesy to Ripe, I would rather compliment his content than criticize its credibility. I don't feel the need that some do to try to display their vast intellect by needlessly attacking what is clearly meant for entertainment. It's hard for me to imagine such people enjoying anything other than being insulting.
That bathroom break story really spoke to me! So many bosses are like that, where they happen to observe a small problem, likely a one-off, and then go make some ridiculous rule that solves the problem extremely effectively.... While in the process creating 10 new problems, most of which are significantly worse in scope than the original problem. People in general though really seem to believe that they can make everything absolutely perfect by creating rules.
Ya out of the hundreds of HOA stories I've listened to there are less then five I would have accepted that Honor from, and that's only because those HOA were only HOAs in name only by the end of the story.
Boy, that 3rd story, calling a noncom "sir". Even as a civilian, I know you don't call noncoms "sir, as they will tell you that we work for a living, unlike officers.
Okay first of all I don't think somebody would be considered a “ honorary hoa member” without signing any legal forms. also in my book If taxes are still being paid on the property then it's not legally abandoned no matter how long it's been! also how did that Karen think she was going to get away with it? I mean I hear a lot of people saying that Asians are very smart but apparently she was from the very very rare breed that has their heads so far in the clouds that they don't even realize their bumping against airplanes. I'm personally glad that that Karen went to prison. and she cannot legally blame anybody else because she did do that so in the end she's the only one to blame. and the hoa being disbanded is the cherry on top of this delicious cake of Justice! I mean it's important that you remember that no matter what you do there will always be consequences to your actions. So to every Karen that is an hoa leader heed my advice: “ if people do not want to be part of your hoa leave them alone!!! it will seriously help you in the long run.”
Most of these stories are straight-up real estate fraud and grand theft (among a host of other charges) on the HOA's part, at least in the US. And the sort of Karen in these stories isn't one to leave people alone - they _always_ double down when resisted because _how dare_ someone refuse to cooperate! Classic signs of narcisissm.
Being morally handicapped doesn't entitle you to park in Handicapped Parking or disability payments. People like that say that they "are only hurting themselves." They're liars too. 12 kg is not a heavy machine gun, it's a normal weight machine gun. The M2 .50 cal heavy machine gun is 38 kg.
Bathroom breaks every 20 minutes?, Never heard of such a thing, when in elementary school we lucky to be allowed to go when we asked, had to wait till break I think twice a day or lunch, that was it? Where is this story from?.
That last one reminds me of a crazy story where the base general got himself coated in gorilla poo due to a similar bout of rank pulling. One of Mom's personal favorites from when she was in the AF.
Because the actions of these Karens and Kens, they had made a bad name of HOA's and stricter laws ought to be imposed on all HOA's to prevent them going overboard for whatever they do.
Thanks Ripe! Love your voice. I worked in Hollywood for 25 yrs. Worked in radio at that time. Have you ever done radio, narrating, or other v.o. work? I'm sure you make lots of money doing this. But, consider getting an agent, and voice work. Some of my friends voice cartoons. It pays well. Especially if your name is well known.
I knew a bunch of guys in the Army who were 'honorary members' because they had been drafted... however, that was backed by an act of Congress... you know, back when they used to actually DO things...
Thank the gods I have cats and lizards that would need looking after if my partner and I were out like that... By the way Ripe, if you had ever had the chance to meet my dog, you would have loved her. She was the sweetest girl ever.
You can have no respect for someone as a person but still respect their position. There are SOOOO MANY forms of respect and I think people have forgotten that fact. You may not have respect for someone as a person but you can still respect the work they did to get to the place they currently are, you can respect the position they hold, you can respect their intelligence or even their tenacity and in this case the uniform and status they have. But you absolutely do NOT need to respect the way they act or how they treat others.
i can't be in a hoa... the one and only time i dealt with a hoa, the hoa busybody got her azz beat by me when she slapped my stepson. i beat her black n blue. she got arrestee for assault of a minor and got her ass beat in jail by my stepson's mother
and yes, my stepson’s mom WAS ALREADY in the jail hence why he was staying with us. the smirk on her face when she proudly told the judge yes, she did beat up the broad for putting hands in her son so she can remember to never put her hands on someone else’s kid ever again. my ex’s 1st wife was a character. we got along great lol we both became even closer friends after i got rid of our shared ex lol
Also the problem with the HOA destroying OPs house is the stuff inside the house is in many cases irrecoverable Precious antiques Valuable Paperwork Irretrievable work stored on computers Furniture And so much more Then there’s the building itself That woman should be made to not only pay out to rebuild the house fully to its Original specs but to be made to pay for everything that was lost and destroyed and foot the costs for all legal fees and costs for recovering destroyed data etc Just paying for the house to be replaced and hotel bills in FULL is not enough And the HOA should also be held liable for allowing this to have happened There should be a law that EACH AND EVERY MEMBER of the HOAs be held fully and complexly responsible for the misbehaviour of their Comittee members That way they will know that they have to act responsibly and properly knowing that they will also be held responsible not only for themselves but the entire HOA community members as well
The disability faker. When I was a child back in the 60s there was a man who had been injured down the mine about 20 years ago. He would drag his leg when he walked. One day he had too much to drink and forgot.
I am someone who is permanently physically disabled from an injury (left ankle run over by a semi). I have chronic pain and need a walker when I go into town because standing for more that 5 minutes can be excruciating, walking isn't so bad because pain isn't felt as much when the joints are mobile. It's not a visible disability and I'm only 30, so many people think I'm lying. So someone claiming to be disabled in a similar way when not just grinds my gears, it's because of them I have to explain my disability. I also have a ton of health issues, some genetic, so that makes it even worse. Thankfully, the important people in my life, the government, my pharmacy and my doctor know the facts and that I'm being honest.
Srory 2: I understand she was a fraud. However, how long was Karen's driveway that it wouldn't have been easy enough for the neighbor to just cut the driveway for her instead of letting them use their driveway with the attendant car moving issues before the fraud was revealed?
No matter which country, HOA's should be outlawed. Or at the very least completely optional for any property in the community. If someone opts in, it should be for a year then be renewed if desired.
Don't believe a word of it. An HOA that bulldozed a man's house, Karen or no Karen, would be jointly liable for the 400K plus damages and each property would get a lien.
8:54 not only it’s a bad idea to let someone park on your land because of the legal liabilities, but a disabled person? What part of “YOU ARE LIABLE WHEN theft/injury/damage OCCURS ON YOUR LAND!!!” do you fail to understand?
Hey, Ripe, you never answered my Question about your white kitty I left on one of your other videos. I'm a Crazy Cat Lady myself I have 10 cats that are my therapy animals. I enjoy your stories a lot. I get a good laugh at many of them. Later
If I were that teacher with the bathroom breaks every 20 minutes and the new paper came out showing that I'm scheduled every 60 minutes like normal... I would be tempted to bring it up to the boss and tell them that there must be some sort of mistake because I'm supposed to be scheduled every 20 minutes. Just rubbing it in a little bit harder in their face...
During my time in basic, my group leader was known for his lack of navigation skills. However, he figured out that me and one other in our platoon used to be boy scouts and did have rather good navigation skills. He didn't tell the brass, so we usually got sent out as one of the first platoons on exercises that involved navigation. The faces we got when we got back about three hours ahead of the rest of the battalion were gold... 🙂 (Germany Air Force - they didn't find anything else for us to do so we didn't get punished for doing a good job.)
Story 1) i would have sued for emotional distress from the memories being gone that was in that house, the cost of replacing everything that was inside, and the cost to build it back to the exact specifications of the original house, built the exact same way the original house before it was destroyed. I would do that last one because all the government will do or potentially allow for nowadays is some cookie cutter house with no personality and it will just look like all the other houses in the ex-hoa neighbourhood.
Story 1: if I had a beachfront house I would have had high-end home security systems so tat the moment somebody tried tat it would prompt the cops to investigate it plus higher a lawyer
The HOA stories are fascinating but are, like the other non-HOA stories are only about the bad ones or things that have gone wrong. I personally know of good ones with decades of history. My friend lives in one of these where they have only fined and gone after two homeowners EVER and it was for blatantly aggregious things. They have a strong "Volunteer" base within the neighborhood to help seniors or neighbors that are sick and down on their luck with yard upkeep help and even meals. Dues are ridiculously low ($25 when she moved in and 22 years later raised to $30 - with no change in the last 15 years) as a result. They use that to supply multiple dumpsters brought in for Spring and Fall cleanup and also seasonal street decorations and neighborhood parties, and covering entrance area maintenance and lights. Homes in that neighborhood are highly sought after as a result. So, they aren't ALL bad, though it would be beneficial if there were a way to differentiate between good ones and bad ones provided in Real Estate Listings for obvious reasons.
Hey, as a long time viewer just wanted to say I prefer the way you did videos before with the more static images of space and everything. Having an animated opening of an angry person or something was fine but with things jumping around so much I find it harder to focus on reading/listening to the actual stories. I know I'm probably in the minority on this feeling or the odd one out but thought I'd say something in the chance you might see this Ripe.
Just another instance where a Karen should learn to keep her mouth shut, this woman had it easy with her disability scam with the wheelchair and crutches everybody believing in her ,she was doing so good and then all of a sudden she told somebody the truth then she got mad at said person and called the cops on that person and made up stories ,wow what a lunatic, that's like that old saying don't throw a brick in a glass house, she nucked her Glass House😅 !!!
You know the kindergarten teacher with a malicious compliance story I got a malicious compliance story for you I used to work on the docks in San Francisco and this is a 45 ft container and I'm unloading coffee sacks out of it and you know they have that landing gear underneath about maybe 20 ft back well I told the forklift driver you can't drive in the truck to pick up the bags when you get near the end because you might crush the landing gear or you might tip the container over well this guy didn't believe me and I said look let me put some pallets underneath the front of the truck because once the bags get heavy in the front and there's no bags in the back to keep it level the container is going to tip up and he said bull crap he wouldn't let me put pallets underneath it so he drove in there to pick up a pallet and he tipped the whole container up on end and the forklift got ruined the truck got ruined a whole bunch of coffee bags got ruined and they tried to hold me responsible and I said no I told the driver to let me put pallets under there and he wouldn't let me they fired the forklift driver and I got to keep my job and after that nobody argued with me on the docks about how to do the job anymore seeing as I had 25 years experience and these were 25 year old kids driving forklifts yuck yuck yuck😅

not just Ripe, but so many stories of HOA's trying to squeak their territory one property's at a time
i can't be in a hoa... the one and only time i dealt with a hoa, the hoa busybody got her azz beat by me when she slapped my stepson. i beat her black n blue. she got arrestee for assault of a minor and got her ass beat in jail by my stepson's mother
and yes, my stepson’s mom WAS ALREADY in the jail hence why he was staying with us. the smirk on her face when she proudly told the judge yes, she did beat up the broad for putting hands in her son so she can remember to never put her hands on someone else’s kid ever again. my ex’s 1st wife was a character. we got along great lol we both became even closer friends after i got rid of our shared ex lol
Congratulations on 100k
Thank you very much 🎉
Also the problem with the HOA destroying OPs house is the stuff inside the house is in many cases irrecoverable
Precious antiques
Valuable Paperwork
Irretrievable work stored on computers
Furniture
And so much more
Then there’s the building itself
That woman should be made to not only pay out to rebuild the house fully to its Original specs but to be made to pay for everything that was lost and destroyed and foot the costs for all legal fees and costs for recovering destroyed data etc
Just paying for the house to be replaced and hotel bills in FULL is not enough
And the HOA should also be held liable for allowing this to have happened
There should be a law that EACH AND EVERY MEMBER of the HOAs be held fully and complexly responsible for the misbehaviour of their Comittee members
That way they will know that they have to act responsibly and properly knowing that they will also be held responsible not only for themselves but the entire HOA community members as well
The disability faker. When I was a child back in the 60s there was a man who had been injured down the mine about 20 years ago. He would drag his leg when he walked. One day he had too much to drink and forgot.
Abandonment is difficult to establish. And it doesn't just mean that the land becomes up for grabs.
I am someone who is permanently physically disabled from an injury (left ankle run over by a semi). I have chronic pain and need a walker when I go into town because standing for more that 5 minutes can be excruciating, walking isn't so bad because pain isn't felt as much when the joints are mobile. It's not a visible disability and I'm only 30, so many people think I'm lying. So someone claiming to be disabled in a similar way when not just grinds my gears, it's because of them I have to explain my disability. I also have a ton of health issues, some genetic, so that makes it even worse. Thankfully, the important people in my life, the government, my pharmacy and my doctor know the facts and that I'm being honest.
Never ever be a part of any HOA
Srory 2: I understand she was a fraud. However, how long was Karen's driveway that it wouldn't have been easy enough for the neighbor to just cut the driveway for her instead of letting them use their driveway with the attendant car moving issues before the fraud was revealed?
Ripe, to answer your question about story one; No I would never want to be associated with an HOA in any form or way.
No matter which country, HOA's should be outlawed. Or at the very least completely optional for any property in the community. If someone opts in, it should be for a year then be renewed if desired.
Don't believe a word of it. An HOA that bulldozed a man's house, Karen or no Karen, would be jointly liable for the 400K plus damages and each property would get a lien.
8:54 not only it’s a bad idea to let someone park on your land because of the legal liabilities, but a disabled person? What part of “YOU ARE LIABLE WHEN theft/injury/damage OCCURS ON YOUR LAND!!!” do you fail to understand?
Never get in an HOA, dumbest thing you could ever do
Hey, Ripe, you never answered my Question about your white kitty I left on one of your other videos. I'm a Crazy Cat Lady myself I have 10 cats that are my therapy animals. I enjoy your stories a lot. I get a good laugh at many of them. Later
Oh I might have missed that. What was your question?
@@RipeStories I asked what your pretty white kitty's name was & how old he/she was

3:02 I would have called the cops first then my lawyer next, as it was a landmark building
If I were that teacher with the bathroom breaks every 20 minutes and the new paper came out showing that I'm scheduled every 60 minutes like normal... I would be tempted to bring it up to the boss and tell them that there must be some sort of mistake because I'm supposed to be scheduled every 20 minutes. Just rubbing it in a little bit harder in their face...
During my time in basic, my group leader was known for his lack of navigation skills. However, he figured out that me and one other in our platoon used to be boy scouts and did have rather good navigation skills. He didn't tell the brass, so we usually got sent out as one of the first platoons on exercises that involved navigation.
The faces we got when we got back about three hours ahead of the rest of the battalion were gold... 🙂
(Germany Air Force - they didn't find anything else for us to do so we didn't get punished for doing a good job.)
Story 1) i would have sued for emotional distress from the memories being gone that was in that house, the cost of replacing everything that was inside, and the cost to build it back to the exact specifications of the original house, built the exact same way the original house before it was destroyed. I would do that last one because all the government will do or potentially allow for nowadays is some cookie cutter house with no personality and it will just look like all the other houses in the ex-hoa neighbourhood.
First Karen Simply are evℹ️l No Good in the heart of her.
There's a reason HOAs don't like guns and try to force you to go without owning any
Maybe, if the HOA was one of the few good ones, then I would.
Story 1: if I had a beachfront house I would have had high-end home security systems so tat the moment somebody tried tat it would prompt the cops to investigate it plus higher a lawyer
That’s a no I smell fraud
All entitled Karens/Kens need to get their eyes checked, their ears cleaned, and their heads examined!
Nothing wrong with a properly spelled WITCH, but she spells it with a B not a W.

The HOA stories are fascinating but are, like the other non-HOA stories are only about the bad ones or things that have gone wrong. I personally know of good ones with decades of history. My friend lives in one of these where they have only fined and gone after two homeowners EVER and it was for blatantly aggregious things. They have a strong "Volunteer" base within the neighborhood to help seniors or neighbors that are sick and down on their luck with yard upkeep help and even meals. Dues are ridiculously low ($25 when she moved in and 22 years later raised to $30 - with no change in the last 15 years) as a result. They use that to supply multiple dumpsters brought in for Spring and Fall cleanup and also seasonal street decorations and neighborhood parties, and covering entrance area maintenance and lights. Homes in that neighborhood are highly sought after as a result. So, they aren't ALL bad, though it would be beneficial if there were a way to differentiate between good ones and bad ones provided in Real Estate Listings for obvious reasons.
Like the stories
5:43 Only 400k? She should have had to pay for tripple the cost of the house and all the belongings imo along with a 1mil pain and suffering.
Hao is always a bad thing.
Any further orders sir?

Hey, as a long time viewer just wanted to say I prefer the way you did videos before with the more static images of space and everything. Having an animated opening of an angry person or something was fine but with things jumping around so much I find it harder to focus on reading/listening to the actual stories. I know I'm probably in the minority on this feeling or the odd one out but thought I'd say something in the chance you might see this Ripe.
I hear you. Currently just trying some stuff out
⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️
Ripe I love HOA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🍺⭐
Just another instance where a Karen should learn to keep her mouth shut, this woman had it easy with her disability scam with the wheelchair and crutches everybody believing in her ,she was doing so good and then all of a sudden she told somebody the truth then she got mad at said person and called the cops on that person and made up stories ,wow what a lunatic, that's like that old saying don't throw a brick in a glass house, she nucked her Glass House😅 !!!
You know the kindergarten teacher with a malicious compliance story I got a malicious compliance story for you I used to work on the docks in San Francisco and this is a 45 ft container and I'm unloading coffee sacks out of it and you know they have that landing gear underneath about maybe 20 ft back well I told the forklift driver you can't drive in the truck to pick up the bags when you get near the end because you might crush the landing gear or you might tip the container over well this guy didn't believe me and I said look let me put some pallets underneath the front of the truck because once the bags get heavy in the front and there's no bags in the back to keep it level the container is going to tip up and he said bull crap he wouldn't let me put pallets underneath it so he drove in there to pick up a pallet and he tipped the whole container up on end and the forklift got ruined the truck got ruined a whole bunch of coffee bags got ruined and they tried to hold me responsible and I said no I told the driver to let me put pallets under there and he wouldn't let me they fired the forklift driver and I got to keep my job and after that nobody argued with me on the docks about how to do the job anymore seeing as I had 25 years experience and these were 25 year old kids driving forklifts yuck yuck yuck😅

Hoa is not my day with a hoa karen
Nta. No class can get anything done going to the bathroom every 20minutes
I would believe this HOA story only if you included the statement, "And while she was in prison HER house burned down one night."

People care too much about this stupid mess. Let the man make his money I don’t know who he is don’t care who he is let this man make his money.
You go to jail

I have a question Ripe, how many times do I have to suggest that HOAs are organized criminals to have them seen the same way Yakuza are in Japan?
❤❤❤❤❤
☆☆☆Trying to make you and Disnii very happy☆☆☆
