The Yellow House
If there’s one quote we should all aspire to live by, it’s “Live and let live.” Clearly, this OP’s neighbors didn’t believe in it because they would constantly complain about his yellow house and how they hated the color. We don’t see why it should matter to them or who asked for their opinion but oh well.
However, things got really twisted when the neighbors actually had his house painted white while he was away on a business trip and tried to stick him with the bill. Can you believe that? If we were the OP, we’d wait for an opportunity to paint their house yellow and call it even-steven.
