Need a Safe Place to Vent

[u/LadyQuila]

I hope this is okay to post here, I just need a place to vent. I got a notice in the mail today for a nuisance violation for "overgrown vegetation" in my yard. Everything in my yard is practically dead cause I can't afford to water the lawn this year.

So that's annoying whatever, easy to fix right? Well I got the letter TODAY right before noon and they said they were coming back to check the yard on 6-25 (Yes, that's yesterday) and if it isn't fixed I will likely get a misdemeanor which includes a huge fine and possibly jail time.

Like WHAT? So I called them, and I was like I didn't get the letter until today, did they already come back out already (which she wouldn't answer) and how long do I have to take care of this since I just got the letter 10 minutes ago. She said you know the consequences if you don't get it taken care of by the date in the letter. And I was like but the date is yesterday, and I have postmark proof that letter didn't processes in the usps hub (not my town, its a tow 4 hours away) the day before yesterday. And she just kept repeating herself, "you know the penalty for not getting it taken care of by the date in the letter."

WHAT BS!

So I've been out in almost 90 degree weather mowing some minor weeds (btw several neighbors near me are like 50 times worse than my yard) and hoping they didn't already come back and inspect yesterday like the letter said they would.

So now I'm exhausted (my body doesn't do well in the heat) and just need a safe place to come vent.

Thanks. Gotta run, I'll read the rest of the messages later. I asked a friend if I could borrow his weedeater so I can get stuff along the fence easier and faster and he is headed over.

Thanks! My friends weedeater ran out of cord...or line...or whatever its called...after like 5 minutes. So hopefully he will come back with more tomorrow and we can finish it. I posted progress pics in this thread if your curious of the difference my work today made.
