The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself PHYSICALLY ILL at the audacity of an HOA demanding forty-two hundred dollars for a pool that has been closed longer than some marriages last. This is not a gray area, this is a GRAY ABYSS, and everyone involved tumbled into it like lemmings in blazers. The seller claims ignorance from Arizona, a state Reginald does not recognize as having jurisdiction over anything because it is essentially a hot parking lot with senators. The HOA management company closing at 5 and refusing calls after 3 is the kind of bureaucratic cowardice that The Court has previously ruled against in Homeowner v. That Lady Who Runs The Pool Committee Like A Tiny Dictatorship, 2019. You kicked in eight hundred dollars of your own commission for POOL RESURFACING when THE POOL IS CLOSED, which means you essentially paid to refinish a very large outdoor bathtub that nobody can use, and frankly that is the kind of financial decision that keeps Reginald up at night wondering if anyone in this industry has ever read a single book. The Court sentences the HOA board to swim in that closed pool in December, and you are ordered to frame that $800 receipt as a reminder of what happens when you let escrow deadlines dictate your dignity. CASE DISMISSED, Reginald must go lie down.
