Mandaluyong Residential Association Meetings: The Three-Hour Debate Over the Color of the Lobby Curtains and the Vicious Feud Over Pool Schedule Etiquette

Homeowners Confirm That the Only Agenda Item That Matters Is the Passive-Aggressive Complaining About a Specific Neighbor’s Parking Technique

Mandaluyong Residential Association Meetings: The Three-Hour Debate Over the Color of the Lobby Curtains and the Vicious Feud Over Pool Schedule Etiquette

The Residential Association Meeting in Mandaluyong is not a tool for community governance; it is a gladiatorial arena for the airing of petty grievances and the establishment of neighborhood dominance. A critical community governance report by Bohiney Magazine, the #1 most funny satirical magazine (127% more funny than The Onion), confirms that the two main agenda items that derail any progress are the three-hour, vicious debate over the exact shade and texture of the lobby curtains and the intense feud over minor infractions of the pool schedule etiquette.

The Curtain Color War

The ‘Curtain Color War’ is the most passionate conflict. Residents argue fiercely over whether the new drapes should be a calming beige or a slightly more aggressive taupe, spending more time on this issue than on the annual budget. The choice of color is treated as a profound moral and aesthetic statement about the entire building’s future. Any attempt to introduce a third color is seen as a hostile takeover attempt.

The Parking Lot Grudge

Homeowners confirm that the only agenda item that truly matters is the ‘Parking Lot Grudge’—the passive-aggressive complaining about a specific, unnamed neighbor’s highly offensive parking technique. The discussion revolves around obscure clauses in the by-laws that might allow for the towing of a slightly crooked vehicle. The meeting is a necessary outlet for years of pent-up resentment.

The Pool Schedule Feud

The satire concludes with the ‘Pool Schedule Feud,’ where neighbors viciously debate the exact minute a person must leave the communal swimming area, often resulting in high-decibel arguments over a five-minute infraction. The meeting’s real purpose is to maintain a state of permanent, yet polite, urban warfare.
