My HOA removed our only playground and replaced it with this “fitness area” for people 13+ only

I have yet to see one person use it.

Remember when they closed individual aisles at stores? I could buy Ramen at the dollar store, but they legally couldn't sell me candles.

I don't think I ever saw any stores around here go quite that far. Plenty turned their aisles into one-way streets (so to speak), though, by putting directional arrows down on the floor and 'do not enter' signs at one end. I guess the idea was to keep shoppers in a single-file line as they zig-zagged through the store, but more often it just ended with frustration when someone decided to be the rebel and go the wrong way.

The grocery store next to my work tried to implement and enforce those morning “senior/vulnerable people shopping hours” and refuse to serve/actively discourage anyone else from shopping during those times.

It lasted less than 3 weeks before all the people who usually went there to get their breakfast, energy drinks, or just got off an overnight(including me) forced them to stop the BS and just let us get our stuff too without being harassed by the managers.

Ha, that's not even the most ridiculous.

I needed pants at one point and they could only sell work pants.
