LOL agreed. In that situation, I would hire painters to come in at night and paint their house in a plaid check pattern. Paybacks are ....

I'm calling this a pure fabrication. The Painter had a valid work order....from who? And what painter is going to come out and paint somebody elses house? You'd have to be pretty stupid to do that and I doubt there's a painter in the world that wouldn't be checking about ownership before signing a contract. And to find a painter that is apparently sitting waiting for the phone to ring....I doubt that. Around here you'll be waiting 4-6 weeks for a painter to come to paint the outside of a house. Even in depressed areas painters are in high demand as most folks now want to sit at a desk behind a computer and make big bucks. Nope, pure horse bagels on this one.

Yep, I think this is a hoax too. The police can't do anything? And if the woman has film footage, why is she wasting time on Reddit? She should call an attorney. And I agree about how quick a painter would start a job--not quick. And why would neighbors go to such length and expense to get a gray house instead of a yellow one? Balderdash.

Maybe there will be a follow up story about how p***** off she is when the neighbors present her with the bill for that painting.

I found this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice...e_color_of_my/

It seems (if this story is even true), the neighbors counter-sued for the cost of the painting. That right there admitted to wrong doing.

I think the entire neighborhood should paint their houses yellow in solidarity. lol.

I can't say anything further about what has all happened, on the advice of my lawyer. I will provide an update once everything is resolved.
The quote is from the website. You have to be some kind of stupid to buy off on this one. Lemme see, yeah, I just got back from Mars and there really are martians living there. Sure I can prove it. I just said so and I have red soil samples to prove it. There! What some folks will believe is incredible.
