Can you tell me any homeowners association funny stories about pet regulations?The homeowners association where I used to live had a rule about the number of pets.

One horror story is when a family's home was damaged by a storm. Their insurer initially promised full coverage but then found every possible loophole to deny most of the claims.

Sure. After a flood, a homeowner expected their insurance to cover the damages. But they were shocked to find out that their policy didn't actually cover flood damage as it was in a flood - prone area and they hadn't specifically bought that additional coverage. Another case was during a hurricane. The insurance company claimed that the damage to the house was caused by wear and tear rather than the hurricane, which was completely untrue as the house was in good condition before the disaster.

There was a df who thought it was a great idea to try and imitate the dance moves of the birds. So, it started flapping its 'arms' like wings and hopping around in a really comical way. The other animals nearby couldn't stop laughing at this strange sight. It was so funny that even the usually serious old owl had a chuckle. And the df, not realizing how silly it looked, just kept on going with its bird - like dance.
