deleted double post. Although it was an amazing post, probably not worth reading twice.

"Oh dear"?? How about ""Lions and tigers and bears, oh my"? So what type of lawn violation does the OP have in their yard? Probably one of those depictions of an ancient execution device in white. Flaunt the rules at your own risk. Go get'em ladies!!

Years later I think I figured out that the teacher was more annoyed by her, than by me. She already knew I hadn't done my homework, and didn't really want to deal with me yet again on the same subject, revisited day after day, but since my transgression was announced publicly, she had to do something or she'd be seen as allowing it. So, she made me write my name on the board. I do remember eventually she told the girl to stop tattling and just mind her own business.

These discussion of the "clipboard ladies" reminds me of being in 5th grade. I'm not sure what comes across as more childish, the outrage over the actions of the tattle tales, or the moral superiority of "if you obey the rules you have nothing to worry about."
Either way, thanks for the ticket on my trip down memory lane.
It's an observation and sound advice. Calling it "moral superiority" is just silly.

Just wanted to put minds to rest that they may have been the trolls that are routinely complained about. Pretty sure these ladies were part of organizing the hunt. Like I said, this district does not have the same lawn ornament restrictions that other districts have so there is no reason for them to be trolling around here. We have numerous lawn ornaments displayed throughout the neighborhood and homes sell within days of being placed on the market. No one seems to be concerned about "lower property values" due to lawn ornaments. But, if you enjoy a sterile neighborhood, absent of any personalization, then there are plenty of newer neighborhoods with homes for sale.
Worth repeating.

In context, it is very often used with the tone of moral superiority.

Probably one of each color, just to be fair.

Correctomundo. At least there were photos of Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot but never these elusive ladies.

While at Lake Sumter sitting at SBX a few days back around 4:30PM there were 5 or 6 couples (all combinations inc WW MW MM) walking around with clipboards. Oh wait, it was a scavenger hunt!

There are also scavenger hunts in various neighborhoods WITH 2 PEOPLE IN A GOLF CART AND CLIPBOARDS. Could it possibly be that? My wife and I did one 2 years ago with our cart club and yes, she had a clipboard and I was driving.

But but but, that would mean that people are getting upset over nothing. That they are believing something that is not true.

First of all we believe in Nessie.

We were in Scotland a few years ago and did a cruise on loch nesse looking for him/her.

Not there that day but according to the tour guide she was there yesterday and planned to visit tomorrow so just our luck missed out.

I certainly believe these two noisy annoying old biddies are out there annoying the rest of us.
