I’m so over the trolls of the internet that I’ve decided to write posts about them. Did trolls exist in the 80’s? Did people send hateful letters? I don’t know. What I do know is I will be posting examples of various trolls.
I remember my Uncle Penn always had these adorable trolls around, perhaps it was my Aunt Geibe but I absolutely loved them! They were naked with bright color hair. The trolls, not my aunt and uncle. People…let’s stay focused here. Then a few years back, the movie Trolls came out with equally cute trolls. It even starred my next husband, Justin Timberlake. So those kind of trolls are adorbs. Unfortunately, we aren’t talking about those kind of trolls. We are talking about internet trolls.
What I’m about to show you is the back and forth within my neighborhood. Are you kidding me? I thought about not posting this but if you are brave enough to attack your own neighbor, then it’s carte blanche here bitches. I’m also not particularly happy as I walked onto my front porch to comb my hair (I have a ton of hair and loose a ton of hair so I comb it outside, weather permitting) and found this:
What kind of knuckle dragger do you have to be to do this to someone’s flowers? And I know it wasn’t an animal because the morons left only the purple flowers intact and removed the white. So without further ado, here are the conversations just within my neighborhood.

And below is my all time favorite comment of this thread: BLESS YOUR HEART! I’m actually making a wine glass that says, “Bless their heart”.
P.S. It’s important to note that the rude woman who started the trouble is a very active blogger. It’s sad that she has to be so nasty.
Trash Cans
Here is a a delightful little squabble about the deed restrictions. 90% of the folks that chimed in, didn’t need to then at the end we have adults fighting like 5-year-olds….
There are other posts like the above but I’ll spare you guys, as they are ridiculous. A part of me wants to post: “The Sky is Blue. Go trolls go!” And see what my declaration is met with. Until next time, have a troll-rifferic weekend!
Ugh – it pains me to say this but my dad has become an internet troll in his old age. He’s 70 lol and apparently the greatest joy in his life right now is to read news articles about Trump or something equally infuriating and then comment something so uberly passive aggressive and then just watch as people who support the issue freak out over it. My brother and I have tried to get him to stop but with no luck….Internet trolls are the WORST!
I don’t really understand this whole home owners association thing. What is it? What do they do? lol
It’s like a condo board, or in new subdivisions in the burbs you pay fees to keep flowers at the curbs and ensure that all the community keeps to the ground rules- house colours within specific ranges, people who have way too many lawn gnomes may be fined, or you may need ‘not less than one fruit tree within the yard but no fruit trees in the front yard and shrubs not exceeding 4’ for the sake of neighbourhood visibility and security’ it helps keep property values ok because there’s rules to keep hoarders and slobby folks from just letting their house look like crap.
Could not have said it any better myself! Thank you so much for answering T’s question! That really encompasses what it is!
I remember reading either a book or a story that was about an artist who took all the regulations to the umpteenth to try to make it really obvious how crazy it can look….all the trim colours were within regulations but then the house colour was also allowed but clashed horribly, she added turrets and spires and strange extras, which were allowed, and had the maximum number of trees allowed… but had all the front shrubs turned into grotesque shapes…. it sounded ingenious
If you ever remember the book/story, will you let me know? I would love to read it. If it’s a book, it would be hilarious to post it on our community Facebook page as a suggested reading. LOL!
It was not the main point of the story, it helped develop the character, I think it was in a murder mystery. I honestly have no clue when or how I read it. I wish I did!
Your 70-year-old dad is a troll! OMG! That’s a rarity for someone that age to troll! It’s kinda’ funny though! I see Creativerational, answered your question about what an HOA is. On to thank them!
He is! It’s so silly like he just can’t let things go. He’ll see a news article about how Trump is doing something and he’ll comment “well that’s gonna cut into his golf game” or something. I’ve tried to stop him it’s not good lol
Don’t ever let the man on Twitter! That is like ground zero for trolls….as well as Reddit.
Oh no! Haha I’m not introducing him to anything on the internet lol he can stay on his news sites
That’s probably a good idea!
Oh, Lordy.
Was someone really still holding on to their anger over a boat/trailer that was moved “only a year ago” because it hadn’t been gone as long as it had been parked there.
JFC.
And that blogger you mentioned from the post about lights? Totally thought she was a man based on her level of pettiness and mean spirit.
You should follow up with the folks who said they were going to move, just to get a progress update for the group. ?
Hell, you know they won’t move, they’ll just continue to complain. And yes, the blogger is a woman and she has a local business within miles of our development! Why on Earth would you spread that sort of negativity among potential customers? That’s just ridiculous.
Stupid Americans…?
