Not a super long or interesting story, but it’s malicious compliance on my mom’s part. My mom called it petty and giggled about it to me.

I live in an HOA and every Wednesday morning we have trash men come and pick up our trash. They’re fine for the most part other than being messy occasionally.

My mom often forgets to put out the trash and our bags end up piling up. This week, before Wednesday, I decided to clean out my room and closet which has been a mess since December. I’m rarely home so I rarely have time to clean. I ended up putting around 6 trash bags downstairs. On Wednesday, my mom put out 6 trash bags because we had a good 12-15 trash bags in the basement. She comes later to 2 of the trash bags left with a big “NOTICE OF VIOLATION” paper stapled to one of them.

Cue my mom’s malicious compliance. My mom got the huge black garbage bags, which are a LOT larger than the small white ones used, and put at least four of the white garbage bags in each. She also put all of our cat litter bags (we have a litter robot so it’s bags of waste) all in one trash bags for some weight. She put as many white trash bags in the black ones because there was no size or weight limit to the trash. In the end, all of our trash fit in 4 trash bags. My mom laughed and told me this yesterday and said “they sure picked up those trash bags.”

Screw HOA.

Edit: The violation was they will only take 4 trash bags and we had 6 out. We weren’t really aware of this.
