Neighbors Hated My House Color
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.
