To learn more about this situation, we reached out to the homeowner who shared his story online, Reddit user MoPanic. He was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and fill us in on whether or not there had been any updates.
“Nothing recent, but I donât think theyâll really pursue it,” the author shared. “It was likely just an attempt to bully us. The HOA’s own rules and state law are firmly on our side, and Iâm sure their attorney told them as much.”
The homeowner also revealed that it’s been several months since his house was painted. But unfortunately, this isn’t the first time he and his wife have had issues with their HOA. “In fact, we sued them for something unrelated a few years ago and won via a settlement,” the OP says.
We were also curious what MoPanic thought of the replies to his post. “I was very surprised at how much attention it got (8M views I think),” he told Bored Panda. “The comments came in 3 types, which were also quite surprising (the post was about an HOA, not house paint or HVAC). The most common comment was something like, ‘You are an idiot. You painted a house black in Texas.’ Or ‘RIP your AC bill.’ A minority were about the HOA.”
