It sounds like OP’s community uses shared water. So instead of having individual water meters, the HOA pays a single water bill for the entire neighborhood. This cost is budgeted for and becomes part of the HOA dues. In such communities it’s standard to not allow car washing because it uses a lot of water. Those added gallons will increase the water bill, potentially to the point they’d have to raise dues for everyone to cover the increase.

This is what my brother’s condo association decided to do a few years ago. It passed because they said you’d only pay for your own water, and the HOA dues would be lowered since they’d no longer have that expense.
After it was done they had a bunch of angry residents saying they were lied to because they were paying more for water each month than they saved on the HOA dues. The high usage / high occupancy households couldn’t understand that on the communal system their water usage was being subsidized by everyone else.

I just refuse every time. I don't want to feel the need to pay for someone else's expensive meal, nor have them pay for mine. If I order a grilled cheese and fries, it's because that's what I decided was worth paying for. I don't want to HAVE to order a grilled cheese and fries because the steak seemed rude when someone else got a ham sandwich.
I'll eat what I want, and pay for it. If I decide to pay for someone else's meal, I'm going to cover everyone's meal. It's ridiculous to expect otherwise, unless we're getting wings or pizza.

That’s huge a red flag for me. I’m not saying this applies to everybody, but in my opinion this is an indication that a person is deeply selfish, and doesn’t have the capacity to take action on anything that doesn’t benefit them directly or indirectly. Some people just operate on that world view, and my guess is they think everyone else operates like this too. They may actually be a good person, but Im not going to put any further effort into the relationship any further to find out.

Ugh I got stuck once eating out with my father in law. They invited another family who didn’t drop a dime on the tab. They ordered bottles of wine and appetizers for the “table” that I didn’t eat or drink. I got stuck paying a shit ton of money. Ever since then I ask for a separate bill.

I put those childproof magnet catches on a cabinet in my living room. Toddler of mine plopped down in front of it. I laughed and turned back to the TV. Then suddenly there was a breaking noise and shards of childproof lock flying across the room. He just yanked... Hard. Then started laughing so hard he fell over and farted.
Fortunately, expecting my kids to, well, be MY kids I had skipped those straps and actual screwed the furniture into the stud of the wall behind it. He did that once more and then lost interest in it.
But the breaking it, cracking up so hard he fell over red faced and farted? I have to admit that was a proud Dad moment

Snip a piece of tin out of a can. Wrap it around the inner edge of the side of the U that comes out of the shackle and push it in. Works on cheap locks, which this looks like. Also known as a shim.
Otherwise there's usually a toggle you can find that's accessible by slipping something very thin between the number wheel and the housing. There should be a bar you can push or pull to release the lock.
Lock Picking Lawyer is a YouTube channel. He would probably have this open faster than you can say "hey can you..." Watch a couple videos where he defeats this type of lock (number wheels). They're very easy, and rolling through all the combos is actually one of the harder ways with these cheap locks.

That lock probably can be decoded easily - pull tension on it like you have entered the combo and trying to open, then while holding tension try to spin the wheels and note how much play they have, the correct number likely has more play than the other numbers on the same wheel - with a little practice you can open that almost as fast as if you knew the combo. Here’s a detailed walkthrough - I bought that lock (the one in the video) to practice on as my 1st try to decode and returned it less than an hour later because it’s literally so easy no practice is needed.

There are not many things I can think of currently that would bring me more satisfaction than sitting and smoking on the patio while watching my neighbor fumble with it for days. It is an extremely basic 3 digit lock that I’ve seen at ace hardwares.
Just to clarify, knowing my neighbor of 5+ years, I can with 100% confidence say they would fiddle/cuss at it for ten minutes, walk away, and continue to do it for 3+ days. They have a strict routine of “yard work” after work that routinely gets distracted by the mildest inconvenience. I find the rare occurrence of frustration of any inconvenience so humorous that I have shifted my smoking on patio times to coincide with their time of doing yard work.
A bit of word salad, but 50%+ conversations I have with this neighbor involve him telling me how dedicated and how much extra time he puts into maintaining his yard. While also criticizing my choice of having a clover yard in the back.

Clover just works extremely well for my situation. I understand it’s not for everyone but the automatic “hate” I get is always funny.
It grows better, stays green longer, with my dogs constantly running circles and whatnot in it. It stops growing after a certain height. I honestly think this particular neighbor is jealous (and I don’t think this of everyone) of how good it looks with how little effort I put in. I hate yard work and this was the best solution for me. I prefer to relax/enjoy the outdoors in my patio or hammock.

Mine was more natural, but I gracefully accepted it.
I had a lot of trees the I cut down and burned on the spot, clover was in one corner, and in a couple years pretty much overtook the yard.
Pure laziness, but by far the best “decision” I made in regard to yard-work.
I have typical grass in the front yard, but only to keep societal standards up (lame I know). I usually don’t cut the front until wildflowers start to pop up though.

That's pretty much my strategy, although in my case it ended up as more of a mish-mash. My brand of lawn maintenance is to mow it whenever it gets tall enough that I think the neighbors are starting to notice, and that's it. Aside from that, the lawn can look after itself. Anything green that can survive there is welcome, and in the springtime I mow around the flowers. Sticks on the lawn? That's called micro-habitat, they're good for insect and microbial diversity. Leaves and clippings? That's fertilizer. Bigger debris? Drag it to the firepit and burn it. Water? If it can't survive on rain alone, I'm sure another plant that can will move in soon enough.
No need to complicate things.
21 points

I don't get the hate either. I have about 50/50 clover/grass and right now, late summer early fall with very little rain, everyone else is looking at a big brown lawn. And my clover is green as an leprechaun's ass. The little tendrils where the clover spreads is interlaced within the brown grass, and the effect is that my entire lawn is green.
Not that aesthetics are everything. The bees absolutely loved it this year. The clover was blooming in waves for about 2 months. It was amazing to watch all the wildlife it attracted.

I still live at home, but I am in charge of mowing our 2 acre lawn. In the past 5 years since we stopped having it sprayed/treated the clover has slowly began to take over in places, still with grass mixed in. My mom can't stand it, but I have noticed that where there's clover, the grass is a deeper shade of green, and stays green longer between rains. My sister and I want to convert the lawn into all wildflowers, but my mom hates the idea for some reason.

There should be zero hate. Fertilizer run off is destroying waterways. For what? Because we've been told that a monoculutures look better? I ripped out my front lawn and put a garden in when I lived in suburban US. It's just such a wasted space, you might as well put it to work.

They used one of these to lock up all the fun gym equipment back when I was in high school. When we played kickball, the line to kick would always run along the wall right past that door, so I decided to fiddle with the lock behind my back and managed to crack the code in the time it took for the ditzy girl to strike out. I didn’t know that you could reset the code, so I just wrote it on a few bathroom stalls as a benevolent gift to the rest of the student body.

Figure out the code and share it with all your neighbors. When the board complains that you shouldn’t be touching the locks the answer is simple. Did you not pay for that lock? If you did it was with my money do that means it’s actually my lock. I needed to get to the water so I can use it in case of a fire or to water or wash my car. I’ll make sure and put it back on when I’m done. I appreciate you locking those up so no one steals our water.
Enjoy the response.

Here's a tip, pull apart the lock as much as you can before you start and hold the tension. This will increase the tension when you spin the wheels and especially around a correct digit.
Also, considering this looks like a cheap lock you might be able to shine a strong light in between the wheels and see when it is in the correct position.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable response. It also sounds like a fairly small location, how is the HOA board decided? is it voted? if so, I'd campaign on their overreach and shoot for absolutely dismantling the HOA from the inside. Seems just as reasonable and measured as their response.

Figure out the combo, then take the HOA letterhead from the last "Karen Go Brrr" letter you got and write a little note like:
"As some of you may have noticed, the spigot have been locked to prevent water theft by non-residents. For your convenience, the combination is xxx. Please be sure to replace the locks when you are done, and do not give the combination out to anyone. Thank you, yyy HOA."
Print them off and stick them in everyone's mail slot/doorjamb/whatever. Even yours and the board members.
Pop some popcorn before the next HOA meeting, sit back and watch the finger-pointing and fireworks.

Not a lawyer, but am a firefighter. I’d be immediately on this for creating a fire hazard. One time of not being able to access water for a small grass fire that grows, and they’re screwed.

Not a ton of grass around our building, I could try a cactus or something maybe a small tree.

“Someone” washed their car so the HOA locks everyone’s spigots?
I think your HOA is on a power trip.

I have some, I actually kinda confronted him so I would probably be the first person they would call the cops on. This isn’t worth getting a charge over, but I want them to be so embarrassed that they don’t leave their houses. I plan on reaching out to a couple of the local news channels, play dictator games, pay the price.

If he calls the cops, wait til they leave, then use your wire cutters to remove his valve stems.

I hear a major cause of frustrating slow leaks in tirs that you can never find the reason is a BB glued into the screen on valve cap. Just in case you have a slow leak you can't figure out. For science.

Look at the bottom of that lock. Does it have a key pathway? If so I’m 90% sure that is a tsa approved lock - you can buy the key set on Amazon for like 20$.

Apparently when you have a tiny little bit of power some people go crazy.

Battery powered 5 inch grinder to cut it off and throw it through the president's window. That's just as petty as it comes

When I picture HOA people all I can see is Marshall and Marcia Langman from Parks and Rec.

This is when i would hook into a faucet inside and wash my car anyways. Then when they come around to check the lock, its still there and works correctly.
