NEIGHBORS HATED THE COLOR OF MY HOUSE AND REPAINTED IT WHILE I WAS AWAY — I WAS ENRAGED & TOOK MY REVENGE.
My house is on a corner lot. Two years ago, a newlywed couple moved in next door and immediately made weird comments about my house’s yellow color. Soon, they outright DEMANDED I paint it a different color. My house has always been yellow; I love it, and there’s no rule against it.
They called the police and the city on me, but both told them to back off since I hadn’t done anything wrong. They even tried suing me (the suit got tossed, and they had to pay my legal fees) and attempted to rally our neighbors to form an HOA to force me to repaint. Our neighbors told them to get lost, so now they’re alienated by everyone.
I had to go out of town for two weeks, and when I got back, my house was GRAY. I almost drove past it because I’m so used to my yellow house. The neighbor from across the street came over and showed me pictures he took of the painting company setting up and doing the work. He and another neighbor called the police, but the painting company had a valid work order and had been paid, so the police couldn’t do anything.

Neighbors Hated My House Color and Repainted It While I Was Away — I Was Enraged & Took My Revenge
Returning from a two-week trip, Victoria was horrified to find her vibrant yellow house, painted lovingly by her late husband, had been repainted gray by her neighbors, the Davises. Known for their disdain for her home’s bright color, they had taken matters into their own hands while she was away.
Victoria confronted the Davises, but they denied everything. Her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, confirmed the repainting had been done under a forged work order, in the Davises’ name. Victoria was furious, feeling her neighbors had erased her husband’s memory with a “bucket of paint.”
She stormed to the painting company’s office, demanding answers. The manager, Gary, was apologetic and explained, “We thought it was their house.” Victoria insisted on suing, and the painting company agreed to cooperate.
In court, the painting company’s workers testified against the Davises. The judge found the Davises guilty of fraud and vandalism, ordering them to repaint the house back to yellow and cover all costs, including court fees. Outside the courthouse, Mrs. Davis hissed, “I hope you’re happy.” Victoria smiled sweetly, replying, “I will be when my house is YELLOW again!”
Victoria’s determination to stand her ground paid off, restoring both her home’s color and her peace of mind.
