[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unpopular opinion here. Serving on the HOA and small town elected bodies (which are basically the same thing) are thankless jobs. Those who serve on them can be, but not always, have a weird arrogance where they claim to have some special knowledge and talk down to people.

I doubt you're that person, but be aware this perception exists and can lead people to become very demanding because their investment is not going to decline at the whims of your perceived dismissiveness.[/quote]

Np here. I think you've got it backwards. Every single thing I've volunteered for or lead since living in this area has meant I deal with people like op's neighbor often. People are horrible. I'm friendly and a pushover. Every team, every class, every neighborhood event someone will complain as if I'm not doing enough. The more strapped you are for helpers, the more likely you will deal with abuse. There were zero parents involved for one sports team my kid was on. I occasionally showed up and brought snacks. At one of the last games, a couple who never showed up berated me in front of the coach for not doing a better job organizing snacks.. My kid had actually organized it with an email chain that included parents. They all ignored it. This is typical.[/quote]
