Our Homeowners' association must hire from Stanford Security Rejects, Inc.
I want to paint my house. Call H/O assn (mistake 1) and they inform me I must submit a color sample and $125 to handle the cost of review. I ask, even for the same color? Yes! Go paint store with chip from house. They match it. Buy one gallon, paint piece of cardboard (8.5x11 as required) and submit it with the check. Get letter from them. 'Your color as been rejected since is does not fit the palette.' I call them and ask, 'OK, where do I get this palette?' 'There isn't one.' 'How do I know what color is OK?' 'Send us sample and we will let you know.' So come on down. You can park your car in front of my house and help me paint. When the Paint Police come by, I'll use the Patti Hurst defense.... 'A crazed NorCal liberal held me at gunpoint and forced me to use this color.' |

Ya know, it's not just this. CA DMV story:
When I bought the V8 car it did not have a front plate. The car is kind of 'noticible' so didn't want to get pulled over for no plate. Blow the extra $45 to get personalized when I find out MTLMTR is available. Cool! Go to DMV and order plates. Turn in old plate and get temp permit. 6 weeks later, DMV sends letter, plates are in. Go in and wait almost half an hour while they look for them. Finally find one motorcycle plate that says MTLMTR. Cute, but not quite what I wanted for the 914. Yada yada, they will order another. 6 weeks later get a letter from DMV. They want an extra $45 since I would not accept the plates ordered. Right! I call and ask for my old plate back and a refund. Today I get yet another letter stating that if I do not come in and get my plate(s) they will destroy them. For my convenience, the plates are in Modesto, 200+ miles away, not my local DMV. They give me an 800# to call. Can't wait to make this call tomorrow. It ain't the HOA's, dems, republicans, christians, muslims or nazis. It's the idiots that are taking over the world. Thank God for Absolut and thank God I'm old; don't know how much more of this I can take (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |
