Will need another 10 yrs for this Dinosaur crowd to be replaced by people with real vision.”What did social media say?The post quickly struck a chord with netizens, who flooded the comment section with their own nightmarish experiences of dealing with housing society rules. Many users shared frustrating anecdotes highlighting how extreme and illogical these restrictions can be in daily life.An individual posted, “Don't enter the garden area with your footwear, don't go swimming during this time, don't play now as my kids' exam is going on, don't do cycling here etc. Once, a retired uncle threatened my wife and kids for cycling in our compound. Unfortunately, I had to go to the police station for something like that. But no remorse from uncle.”Another added, “Our society has dog lovers in the managing committee. They have even built a dog shelter on the premises, and there are about 20 stray dogs roaming around all over.” The OP responded, “Oh, that's another problem. They want to feed them, but nobody wants to take responsibility if they bite someone.”Also Read: 'Goodbye HSR Layout!': Bengaluru man says ₹45,000 rent for 1BHK 'drained' his ₹24 LPA incomeA third commented, “No playtime between 2 and 5pm... during playtime, ask the children to play without making noise.”On the other hand, some users shared completely different experiences, stating that they had never faced such rigid governance.
