HOAs and Condo Boards… Beware of them – IOTW Report

HOAs and Condo Boards… Beware of them

twentytwowords –

Today’s edition of, “What the hell is wrong with people in that they feel they need to body shame others for some ridiculous reason” takes us to an apartment complex pool in Seymour, Tennessee.

Tyler Newman’s fiancé, Tori Jenkins, showed up in a pink one-piece bathing suit, and suddenly common sense cannonballed into confusion like a kid jumping into the pool:

Today my fiancée was faced with either changing her bathing suit, covering up with shorts, or leaving the pool that we paid a $300 fee to maintain on top of a monthly rent of nearly $1000 (not including utilities and wifi). Tori was accused of wearing a ‘thong bathing suit’ and told there were complaints about the way she was dressed after roughly 3 minutes tops, of us arriving there.

We both kind of sat there in disbelief around five of our friends, some of which are residents and some not. So, Tori decided to go to the apartment office, which I regret not accompanying her on, and address the issue politely and calmly with the leasing consultant about the situation in a more private setting. In the office, the leasing consultant (who, for now, I will not name) insisted upon letting Tori take her picture to show ‘how inappropriate’ her bathing suit was, and instructed her to look into a mirror at her own body.”

When my fiancée replied with ‘I know what I look like, I bought this myself, it’s not a thong’ the consultant told Tori that if she didn’t have kids herself, she wouldn’t understand. She was told that the leasing consultant wouldn’t want her own kids around Tori. When Tori explained that yes, she does indeed have a larger butt than a lot of people, and that 95% of the things she wears ride up when she walks, the woman told Tori that a “normal bathing suit covers your entire butt” and again deemed my fiancée’s body inappropriate. Tori, however, refused this because there are obviously different types of bathing suits. 

She was told that her body, because it’s built more curvy than others is ‘too inappropriate’ for children to be around. She was told ‘there are a lot of teenage boys in this complex, and you don’t need to excite them.’

HOAs are insane.

Here’s the U.S. Women’s Water Polo Team, that kids can see on TV.

29 Comments on HOAs and Condo Boards… Beware of them

  1. I live on a dogleg road with 4 houses on it, and about 5 major cultures represented.

    I only get the services I pay for.

    I don’t think they’d notice if I walked around with my ass hanging out, and I’m the token haole.

    I like it like that.

  2. That’s is not a thong swim suit. The behavior of the female leasing agent warrants sexual harassment charges and the swimsuit wearer has the pictures to prove it.

  3. Her bathing suit isn’t too skimpy. Her butt is too big. Those big globes make her suit look tiny. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if she “adjusted” her suit to expose more of her buttocks for an all-over tan while at the pool.

    The ladies in the water polo photo may have similar swim suits but they’re backsides aren’t the size of a Volkswagen Beetle.

  4. If certain types of people are given authority over others they will strain themselves to find an excuse to exercise it. Exactly how government works and why we should keep it as small as possible.

  5. At least two of the polo team members needs to cover up their bottoms. It’s immodest. Not a prude, it just that it makes the focus of the picture their butts which, I imagine, was the point of the photo.

  6. What Boobie said.

    She is excessively over dress for the pool here in SOFLA. Here we have Canadian land whales (and models, just not enough of them) walking around in bikinis.

  7. What, no Brazilian beach volleyball team photos?

    Santa Monica, CA wouldn’t let a Hooters open because of the supposedly skimpy attire, 20 years ago, before finally relenting. This from a beach city in which women wear far less, pretty much everywhere. The hypocrisy abounds.

  8. It’s not a thong AND it doesn’t fit. If you go to a restaurant with a dress code, that tells you there’s a dress code when you PAY FOR the reservation, and then argue with the maître d’ that the piece of spaghetti hanging from your collar IS a tie, I want you thrown out. Not shooed away, but two guys on either side, ankles in the air before you’re launched, THROWN OUT! You’re too damned snowflaky to be allowed in public without a legal gaurdian.

  9. The only people who benefit from HOAs are the lawyers and real estate people who run them. When I was looking for a house, I specified to my realtor, “NO HOAs!”. He showed me a house, a nice one. I casually asked him what the HOA fees were…
    “Only $45 a month!”, he replied with a smile.
    “I told you, NO HOAs. I’m done.”, and I walked out of the house. He later told me that he was obligated to show me HOA homes, by the HOAs themselves.
    Where I live, HOAs are known for driving people out of their homes over a minor infraction, taking possession of said home, and re-selling it at a higher market value. In one case, a disabled woman was fined so heavily because her trash container sat at the curb too long that she couldn’t afford her mortgage payments, (The HOA processes the payments, *after* deducting fees and fines owed to the HOA. The bank gets what’s left). The day she was evicted, paramedics had to called to haul her out on a gurney.
