Complaints

I've been very successful wearing my Complaint Free World bracelet since June 5th on the same wrist. That's 21 days. That is a "habit broken".
THEN - I decide to install a little sprinkling system (the Drip watering kind that runs off a hose connection) in my back yard to keep my plants watered while we take off for a day or two. Called around, got a guy to come out and take a look. Easy job, he said he'd run over to the store and pick up the stuff he needs and would be back in an hour. On the way to his truck my upstairs neighbor stops him and asks what he is doing here. I then get a knock on my door with a very intimidated service person and an overly irate neighbor. Seems he thinks I need Condo residents to vote on whether or not I can attach a drip system to my hose bib. *&^%$
It is just like a hose. It is portable. It is removable. It is not an in the ground, dig trenches with a large back hoe type of installation. AND it saves on water. What the...... So I called the president of the association - she's on my side. I looked up the condo declarations and found the item that says (I think) that I should be able to do this. But just to be on the safe side (and since Mr. Congeniality insisted) I typed up a ballot and asked the residents to weigh in on the subject. Had to cancel the installation. Will certainly be able to call him back and have him continue with it but I really have been in a Complaining space all day because of it.
I don't care. The bracelet comes off today anyway.
