The house paint story is nuts! Im sure it would be classed as vandalism more then anything as well as the constant harassment about it
I was gonna say that bc they called the cops on op and contacted the city multiple times that there’s a paper trail of these neighbors having a problem with op and the lawsuit is the final nail in the coffin to prove their harassment
"You cannot sue me for the murder. It was an assassin, that I hired."
Pretty sure that does not hold up in court.
It's constructive vandalism, but still vandalism.
I disagree that there is no damage. OP does not like the color: that is damage. OP has decreased enjoyment of their home.
The Main thing is, that they signed the Work contract, with OP's name = fraud/ identity theft.
That's a felony, so bye bye bad neighbors.
Hopefully the first OP sees this video, goes “oh yeah! lol” and finally updates their tale after 8 years.
It has happened before! granted not as long as 8 years but it could happen!
Assuming they’re able to. Other commenters were saying that if they settled the lawsuit, it might have come with an NDA. Which would be really annoying for us…
If that were the case, would giving the update of "we settled with a NDA" violate the NDA?
@@deathskrieg5525I don’t believe so. I’ve seen other stories with people in lawsuits say they settled with an nda but I could be wrong
I was actually thinking of the reverse of what rslash mentioned about what happened to OP. I think OP finally loses her mind and sent the narcissistic evil neighbors to serve satan in hell. And OP is either in prison or in hiding or changed identity...
Story 1:My question is:Did those neighbours just tell the paint company:"We give money,You paint house"
And did the company just assume that they owned the house without checking who actually owns it?
Because if that's what happened,Then this is stupid
The solution is for OP to hire that same company to paint the neighbours' house yellow
I was thinking this too? like, the painting company SHOULD be liable for just painting a house they have no proof is owned by their client. if I called them right now, gave a random address and said, "I'm outta town, paint my house puke green" both I and the painters would face no legal issues? insane
not yellow all ugkly collors you can think of all at the same time pink brown balck grey orange etc
Depends on where OP lives and how the paint company ordering system works.
Let's say they use a system to only give them your color choice, number of the address, and photos of which house it is and the company only reports the progress and accidental breakage then it's possible.
Right?! There is no way it is just *legal* for the paint company to paint a property they don’t have permission to be on. That’s trespassing at LEAST. By this same logic, someone could just pay some random person on the street money to graffiti a property and that’s just somehow legal? Just because it’s a professionally done job doesn’t make it all well and good!
If it's anything like the lawn care people I hired then no confirmation of ownership required. I know it's not really the same thing, but seems like you can get services done as long as you give an address and pay the money.
With story two, I think the only example I have ever heard of regarding a worse golden child could be summed up with the phrase "Do it for Dan".
At least in the "do it for Dan" story Dan eventually came around after leaving his cheating wife and I would honestly classify this as worse because "your sister's LYING to US is YOUR fault" is a new one in the "golden child handbook" so they are pioneers in how low they are willing to go for their golden child! They are going to hold her hand all the way to prison which, say what you will about the "do it for Dan" parents, but at least they knew when to stop when police were involved! LOL
I got that reference. 😆
There's also the story where the OP was had their birthday taken away so their spoiled brother wouldn't throw fits and was then grounded for talking to others about it
@@SailorMya Pre-reddit days or I could be on that list.
I once got fired because my golden-child brother stole from the store that he worked at. I then got in trouble with my parents both for him being caught stealing and me being fired for it.
We worked at two different locations of the same brand of store. He stole from his workplace. My mother when in, pitched a fit, threatened everyone and their uncle if they tried to discipline dear brother, argued it wasn't stealing (he just 'forgot to pay for all of that merchandise in his bag), etc., etc. For some bizarre reason, and also terror of my mother, that store kept my brother on without even a write-up. After much theft and finally surveillance from head office, who didn't give two flips about my mother or brother, he was eventually fired (I also got in trouble for that but that's another story), though lucky for him not prosecuted (mother stepped in again, and HO folded on that part).
Of course word got out that my brother had been caught stealing from the store (the first time). So, I got called into my manager's office at the start of my next shift and was summarily fired. The manager said something to the effect 'birds of a feather flock together - if your brother is a thief you will be one too. And, either way, I'm not going to deal with your mother even if you're not a thief' (as if my mother would ever stand up for me like that).
I had to call for a ride home early. I got in trouble for being fired because it could never be because my brother was a thief - the poor darling isn't one - so it must be that I was slandering dear brother, and that I was not just a thief myself but a lousy thief who managed to get caught.
And now they wonder why I have moved across the continent and gone no contact with them all...
OH MY GOD!!! I forgot about that.
“Do it for Dan!”🤣
I can't believe the neighbors basically CONFESSED to painting someone's house without permission 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hopefully the police dosomething about it then
@@bigjalapeno7061if they don’t, vigilante justice. Buy a beater car from a few hours away, pull the plates, and get a few friends armed with paintball guns and paint their house and cars with them. Can’t prove it was you
@@Turbo_The_Femboy_Fox I love this idea. Where do I sign up?
They're so stupid not just for that, but even if they started an HOA, nothing can make OP join the HOA & make OP paint the house 🤦
@@spiritwolf3103 just be a vigilante
Story 2:That sister is beyond just smoking crack,FAR BEYOND!!!!
But those parents......Oh boy....They must be funding the crack industry itself from how much crack they're smoking......
Aye we think alike😂
That doesn’t even do it justice, you’re giving crackheads a bad name
Parent's are controling garbage people with a favorite child while their daughter is an entitled , possessive nut job golden child who's cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Pretty much sums it up
the thing that gets me the most is like, okay so its one thing that youre comfortable as parents having a golden child you blatantly prefer and sacrifice the other children for...
but if you are going to play that game why the HELL do you pick the stalker insane psychopath possibly drug addicted loser child to be the golden one and sacrifice your competent one? hello??
@blackrex828
Lol
*First OP:* If OP's neighbors were bold enough to paint her house without her permission while she was away, then _sue_ OP for payment (🤦🏿♀️), it's not unreasonable to assume they murked OP. Either way, I hope the neighbors get their karma.
*Second OP:* I'm angry for OP. If this were AITA, her DNA donors and sister would've gotten the full 5/5. I'm glad OP moved far away from them. Best of luck to her and Jay.
I feel like painting someone’s house and putting a hit out on them are very different levels
@@sahana757 someone willing to harass and even sue their neighbor purely over the house's color is on a different level than most, not everyone makes sense
It's just so stupid. Maybe they're childhood is the definition of get beaten like a redheaded stepchild?
It's so wild to me that people can just paint anyone's house if they pay for it. Shouldn't there be something in place to prove you own your house before getting it painted? Those neighbors are legit insane and entitled AF
No law against paying to paint someone else's house. The owner of course could have the painters removed for trespassing if they had been home but if not, the house gets painted.
No, that’s insane. By this same logic, the neighbors could have paid some random person off the street to graffiti the house and that would be legal. Just because the job was professionally done doesn’t mean it’s all well and good!
@@Tustin2121 I never said it was all well and good but it's a civil matter to be decided by civil lawsuit, not a criminal matter involving cops.
@@wingracer1614 - Aren’t trespassing and vandalism defined in the criminal code? I mean, if there’s one thing that cops are good for, it’s protecting property -(seeing as that’s literally what they were created for: protecting rich people’s property.)-
Think about all the times you had something fixed or built in your home, did you have to prove that you live there?
The family in story 2 have to be up there with the most delusional people ive heard of in a reddit story.
I mean they clearly hate OP like most if not all parents do with one golden child and one scapegoat child
they sure are bending over backwards just to justify why everything is OP's fault lol
Second story is wild. So, the little sister was damn lying stalker that got obsessed by her friend. Ok that is seriously not what I expected.
And a golden child too! (probably how she became a lying stalker!) That is a bad combo since the parents (if you can call them that...) will continue to enable her no matter how much trouble she gets in...
pretty sure it was the older sister who was the stalker, not the younger one
S2: If sister isn’t the favorite spawn, then I don’t know what she is. Guarantee you this, if she robbed a store/bank, or attacked someone, sweet, and loving mommy and daddy dearests will 100% blame OP just because they were born and not able to help their golden crap-stain.
Having a golden child is never a good thing
Painting story was crazy and I can't believe they can't get anything done about it. Mark narrations covered this before
I am pretty sure rSlash already did the story too, but i guess after that many storys its hard not to do that.
@@rudolf1733 he did!
@@rudolf1733 He didn`t do this story before.
Will bet the lawsuit was thrown out, and then the countersuit requiring them to paint the house back to the original colour along with costs also had, as part of the settlement, a NDA.
There's plenty they could do and I'm sure did do, it's just not criminal so the cops are no help. I'm sure they sued, forcing the neighbors to pay for painting the house back, probably got damages and legal fees as well, and if it was settled there would likely be an NDA thus no updates.
"Hello, train company? We'd like compensation for the spray paint we used to tag your trains and will be suing you for it if you don't comply!"
Imagine if that actually worked
I honestly wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone somewhere has actually tried that before. The arrogance and stupidity of some people is just mind boggling.
House Paint: actually, the police in this case were incorrect, and the painting company IS liable for damages for not making sure the person contracting the work is the legal owner of the address. Second, The Neighbor who contracted the work is also liable for damages, and in addition to being countersued by OP, and forced to cover the cost of repainting, the painting company should also be able to sue them, at the very least to cover their own costs incurred from being unwittingly involved in their petty revenge.
but seriously who would see the name "Jane Smith" and not be immediately suspicious?
People get paid to paint houses not owned by the person doing the painting all the time. If that was made illegal, property management companies would be screwed.
@@wingracer1614 There's a huge difference between a property management company and someone named "Jane Smith" paying in cash to get someone else's house painted.
@@cdnron75 It's exactly the same if I hire Jane Smith to manage my rental property in another state for me.
@@wingracer1614 What are you, a landlord? If anyone writes John/Jane Smith down as their name, that should flip a dozen red flags up in anyone's head. At the _very least_ they should have gone, "Really? Like on your birth certificate, your surname was Smith, and your mother _still_ named you Jane?" Which, I guess could have happened, nobody said it didn't... but I sure would have demanded to see some ID. I don't know what's going down, but if something fishy's going on that me or my company could be liable for and the cops see I didn't question "Jane Smith," I know there'll be trouble. Maybe it really is her name, and I'll just have her license number written down on the order form for no reason, but you know what they say: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
@@Wendy_O._Koopa Yeah and your house painting business is going to fail real quick if you question all your customers like that. Painting a house isn't illegal. If they are willing to pay it, you're going to do it. And as you can see from this case, you and your company are NOT liable for it. The NEIGHBORS are.
As soon as the police told me no laws were broken I'd be hiring someone to paint the police department.
"Even if what I said was true, I shouldn't have been so hard on Sarah, and that as her sister, I should be helping her."
There. That part PROVES that's FAVORITISM, that's it. They were wrong and try to justify it? Gimme a break!
I don't get why favoritism is a thing
@@bigjalapeno7061 In my experience (I'm not a psychologist or anything), it generally starts with a narcissistic "parent", and either seeing themselves in one child, or seeing something they irrationally hate in the other.
In my case, my egg donor saw me living my life as nothing more than "trying to prove I'm better than her". Grandpa says I'm also his little princess (as a toddler), is obviously me manipulating him so I can usurp her position as "Daddy's Girl". Obviously. /s
Graduating high school, and college and working a well paying job? Yep, al just a part of my plan to make her feel inferior, and not because I wanted to live a decent life after growing up on the streets. Me giving birth to a son? Yep, only did that because I wanted to laugh at her that I gave birth to a boy when she didn't. Me not having a criminal record or committing crimes? Yeah, it's not because I don't want to risk my son's well being. Nope. It's o ly because I think I'm too good for all that, and I need to be brought down a peg or three...
Mean while, my "step siblings" could do no wrong in her eyes.... despite both dropping out in middle school, have a juvi and adult criminal record, teen moms with no idea who the dads are, multiple children each with unknown men, both abusing the social safety net system depriving those who need it, both drug addicts and alcoholics, and all of them still homeless. (Although my egg donor stole my grandma's house from me, so they're all using it as a Crack house now.)
But yeah, she saw herself in them, and saw me being me, as just mocking her. Thus why she favored them, and other families I've seen, it's been similar
If the neighbourhood formed an HOA now, OP wouldn't be obligated to join, and wouldn't be subject to their rules anyway.
I live in a neighbourhood of about 50 or so homes. Several years ago, someone tried to start up an HOA. they got like 3 ppl who were interested, but it was an overwhelming "no"
Maybe OP should be the one to start an HOA. And the very first rule is that the only colours that houses are allowed to be painted are all of the colours that those crappy neighbors hate the most (first and foremost, YELLOW 🟡). With a little bit of subterfuge and trickery, the crazy neighbors could probably even be convinced to sign up for the HOA. Only afterwards would they find out that OP is the HOA president, and the other neighbors who don't like the new arrivals are the vice president, treasurer, bylaw enforcement officer, etc. So now everything that they hate about OP's and everyone else's homes is considered to be a requirement, and they'll either have to conform or move away.
some people just don't understand what a legal contract means.
I’m lowkey kinda disappointed that we’ll never get a resolution on the first story, but realistically, the case was probably thrown out.
I suspect the reason for no updates in 8 years is because they sued the neighbors, settled and had to sign an NDA
There was an update to the story. It, the entire situation, was covered by another reddit youtuber.
*edit; it's become a noticeable trend that R/slash has been skipping updates and repeating stories and cutting out important information because it's "too dry". And many people have been pointing it out in the comments of his recent videos, but it seems that this one has certain comments hidden
@@kittenpaws404 Yeah, Slashy keeps getting more and more _moderately_ evil. He's no iilluminaughtii or anything, but I kinda wish he would be a little more normal.
So what happened next??
Instead of B'ing about how you dislike R/'s methods and calling him "moderately evil" like some delulu girlies, how about actually sharing those supposed updates.
Wendy and kitten sure fit the bill when I imagine you two... the cringe internet versions anyway.
Story 1: these neighbors seem unhinged. Calling the cops, attempts to sue OP, calling the city, attempting to create an HOA…did these neighbors come from an HOA neighborhood??? Did they think every quaint neighborhood was like an HOA??? Good that OP had great neighbors but how the shit did these painters not confirm these people lived where they claimed???? Isn’t that something to be checked?! And of course those neighbors won’t answer their door because they know they crossed a line doing this and don’t wanna answer for it. OH AND THEY TRIED USING A LAWSUIT TO GET MONEY OUT OF OP FOR THEIR UNWANTED PAINT JOB!!! Christ almighty the audacity and pure stupidity!
Story 2: Sarah seemed…really unhinged with multiple FaceTime calls. Seems Sarah wants Jay as her BOYFRIEND and not just her best friend and probably didn’t want OP to “have him”. Oh and then Sarah lied to mommy dearest which brought a “righteous mommy anger storm” because I bet Sarah is the golden child. Evident by how quick the parents jumped down OP’s throat for “upsetting Sarah”. And all of the wow at the low tactics Sarah is stooping to just to be the “victim”. Yet OP still gets scolded for stuff? Yeah Sarah’s the golden child. Happy Jay got the restraining order because Sarah needs psychiatric help….again evidently by the fact she violated the restraining order and got arrested. Extremely glad OP got away from her toxic mother and sister. God speed to the dad because he lives with 2 monsters who will make him miserable
The dad sucks too don't forget he jumped on the "we hate OP" band wagon with the gem of calling her a "whore" so he deserves the hell he crated for himself! Just because he looked uncomfortable when she left doesn't mean he made it right with her at all and OP never said he apologized for what her parents did to her! He allowed this toxic environment OP grew up in to fester which makes him just as bad as the mom leading the hate campaign! "Your at fault for your sisters lies to us" is a new one in "the golden child handbook" and BOTH joined in on that blame...
@@SailorMya I know, he’s basically sitting in a hell of his own making with gasoline pants on
Story 2: OP should also get a restraining order, before the sister is tries to unalive her and her parents blame OP for daring to survive.
That’s honestly a weird situation and I feel like you can call the cops because they went on your property without your permission
You could call the cops to remove them from your property but they weren't home and didn't know. After the fact, there's no one on the property to remove. Can't charge the neighbors because they were never on the property and can't charge the painters because as far as they knew, they were there legally, did the job and left. So they had to sue the neighbors instead.
@@wingracer1614- No, I’m sorry, that’s insane. It’s the painters job to know that they have permission to come onto the property. I have to wonder if the neighbors paid for a graffiti artist to make a mural on “their” house if everyone would still be as lax about this as they are about the professional paint company.
@@Tustin2121 People pay to have houses they don't own painted every day. And in the graffiti example, the solution is the same. You sue the neighbors.
@@wingracer1614 - “People pay to have houses they don’t own painted every day.” I’m not following…
Are you about to bring up ‘taxes’ or something like that? Because if you are, that is absolutely not comparable…
@@Tustin2121 No. A senile old man owns a house. His son hires someone to paint it for him. "Jane Smith" is a woman I have hire to manage my rental property, she hires someone to paint it, etc. etc.
The possessive story is crazy. And did her parents even apologize for calling her all those hurtful things? Looks like they didn't. I guess the sister is the golden child. I hope op and Jay are doing better now.
The neighbors really had a beef with the color yellow 💀
One of them definitely had an ex who liked Coldplay
They're probably sad beige parents.
The FF7R discourse has gone _too far_ this time!
I totally wasn't waiting for this upload 👀
Same.
I’m in a different time zone this week and the time difference when he posts is really throwing me. Usually it’s at 5am, but 8am makes it seem like the days all wonky lol..
Second story. The key phrase here is "just the usual stuff, that I was disrespectful". OP basically says that their parents tell them that they're worthless etc a lot and they don't appear surprised that they're the one getting chewed out. MAJOR golden child vs scapegoat indeed. Glad OP got out of there. What incredible toxic parents
Story 2: Sarah and Jay aren’t roommates, aren’t in a relationship, Sarah made up a BS story that he and her were together. Thankfully, Jay got a restraining order against Sarah.
Also, tell me Sarah isn’t the golden child without telling me she’s the golden child.
What the hell is up with the 1st story? I can't believe that it's perfectly legal and if I was in OP's situation I would hire a panting company to paint the redhead neighbor's house yellow or get the other neighbors to paint their houses yellow and see if the redhead neighbors are going to waste probably hundreds of dollars to repaint the houses.
yeah it's not legal, and doing that would only escalate things rather than resolve the situation. OP did the correct thing by keeping their own hands clean and let the neighbors dig their own legal grave, instead going to a lawyer. having video proof of them "casing the joint" on the day the painting contract was set up, plus proof of previous legal action on this topic, was enough, but a lawsuit for the cost of the painting is the nail in the coffin.
weird that they choose grey as the new color... maybe they were strictly thinking about making it very difficult to go back to yellow? kind of funny since that meant it would be like 3×-4× more expensive when the court ordered them to cover the cost of painting it back to yellow. and what if Louisiana is a treble-damages state? that would be 3³ the cost of painting the house!
another thought, the painters would need to get an estimate first, that means they WOULD have had to trespass to get measurements and again to do the painting. there's only so much you can determine from a couple of photos from the street.
Yea really. I don't know if it was exactly legal but they couldn't do anything about it
If I were OP in the first story I would've paid the same painters to repaint the house, only now paint it an even more obnoxiously bright yellow, and then reach out to every possible painting company in the area to warn them someone may try to ask for my house to be painted against my permission
I'd have them paint the neighbor's house glow-in-the-dark electric yellow.
Story 1: Wait until they leave for a while, then paint their house NEON GREEN.
And this time, the neighbors would sit back and watch instead of recording the ordeal for evidence.
OP 1 is more evil than the neighbors leaving us hanging
IM DYING TO KNOW THE OUTCOME
Uh, no. While leaving us hanging _is_ kinda evil, is falls under negligence, not maliciousness. So it's much less _evil._
you know the episode is good when you struggle to comprehend the title
fun facts - Criminal acts vs civil acts. Just because the neighbors can't be charged with a crime doesn't mean they can't be sued.
That last story was wild! OP's sister needs a psych evaluation, not coddling.
She also needs extended inpatient drug rehab to treat the addiction to whatever substance she’s smoking.
Story 2: Holy ... OP was right to go NC, cause man, not only does it suck to realize your parents blatantly favor your sibling over you, but to pin the blame on you for stuff that you were not involved in? The mother is delusional, the sister is extremely toxic, and the father's inability to lay down the law, no wonder the sister became so mental. Plus, mighty rich logic for the potential housebreaking victim to bail the burglar out cause "family". Gosh, hearing so many entitled parents stories has really made me get riled up whenever anyone plays the "family" card to make outrageous demands.
the final story - tell me you're the scapegoat of your family without telling me. holy buckets!
I mean the mental gymnastics of the story. They call OP horrible names and don’t apologize when proof of sister’s lies were provided. Then when sister breaks into OPs and the police is called, they expected OP to bail her out? No! I hope OP changes her phone number when she moves and makes it clear to people to not give her family her new address.
Had a cousin go through a similar situation as the house painting story in North Carolina that leads me to believe the neighbors had to pay to have OP's house repainted.
My cousin is a graffiti artist in his spare time (he did a few murals for the city and some businesses) naturally he has covered his house in his art and it looked amazing. The issue is that he lived across the street from an HOA, my cousin is not a part of the HOA. (The HOA boundary is the street he lives on) My cousin went on vacation and came home to find his art gone and his house now a "picture perfect, white, HOA house" and he couldn't do anything about it until the HOA sued him. It took about a year but my Cousin was awarded his legal fees and what he would charge to do 4 full wall murals, based on what he charged businesses in the past and accounting for the size of his house. Also this incident was partly responsible for the city abolishing this particular HOA, this being the straw that broke the camels back.
The first story shouldn’t qualify as a best updates story. There’s no update… 🤦🏽♀️
Lol. We need a third neighbour who's a redditor or told the story to one. Anyone know the house of shifting colors? :P
Story 2 I think we know who the favorite child is.
Story 2: Wow. Just… WOW! That’s like something taken right out of an episode of Dr. Phil!
Right! the delusion is so strong I don't think even Dr. Phil would want to touch that mess! "Your sisters lies and YOUR fault" is a new level of golden child I haven't seen before!
Lack of a final update left me totally unsatisfied on that first story.
“Jim Bob’s painting, how can I help you?”
“Yeah, while im absolutely pissed that you guys painted my house while I was gone, i just wanted to tell you what a fantastic job you guys did and if i ever actually paint my house, ill call ya.”
Even if the idiot neighbors could have convinced some of the neighborhood to form a home owners association, it would have no legal authority on any property that didn't sign up to join. So even with an HOA all around you still couldn't be forced to change your paint color if you were never part of the HOA to begin with.
Pretty sure that it's still vandalism, even more so after the idiot neighbors provided EVIDENCE in the form of a lawsuit against OP. The charges still should've stuck even if it happened 8 years ago. Shame OP never updated beyond that, but if I had to guess, there was a countersuit for this exact issue in the same case because the neighbors effectively admitted to doing it.
First story: DAMN IT that was a terrible update. I need an update for the update, I really wanted OP to paint the neighbors house with the same tactics
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SECOND STORY? The sister is delusional af
Story 2:That sister is beyond just smoking crack,FAR BEYOND!!!!
But those parents......Oh boy....They must be funding the crack industry itself from how much crack they're smoking.....
By the power of crack
This comment is stolen
THEIIIIIF!!!!!!!
@akl2k7
Yes,It was stolen from me
I cannot believe the parents in the second story, like, your older child is CLEARLY having a mental break down. Why are you not getting her help and doing what you can to shelter the second daughter from the fallout?!
2nd Story: Another case of Golden Child Syndrome
Story 2: i feel bad for the family scapegoat, they always get pushed aside, get punished even when did nothing wrong, and then their parents get upset when they don't love then or their golden crotch fruit. And I pity the golden child because they have no clue how easy they had it, they're doomed to fail adulting because they were coddled throughout their entire childhood with 0 life skills
Story 2 is a classic case of golden child syndrome op i would go completely nc with that side of the family
NC for ALL of them! They bring nothing to OP's life but misery and are not worth having around. When OP answered "yes" blindly to her mother saying "you should be ashamed of yourself" I knew then "Oh, OP's mom is THAT type of person"... She NEEDS OP to be the scapegoat or she has to admit what a crap mom she has been...
I want more than anything for closure to the ninja house painting story. Op can’t leave me hanging like this 😭😭😭
is anybody else curious over how many other times op 2s parents showed favoritism towards her sister because this sounds like a story where this was definitely something that has been going on most of her life
Both stories have left me speechless. I don't see how the painters have a valid permit since it was written up under false pretenses and without the property owner's permission, so if anything I'd be more inclined to believe that the painters could realistically also sue the neighbors.
As for the second story, one question- why did she TELL Jay about OP's disappointment at her other date falling through? To me that made it sound like she knew he liked OP and was trying to help him date OP??? a few guesses: the sister had a psychotic break, or she's addicted to drugs, or maybe both. I think in her mind she has convinced herself that either she *is* in a relationship with Jay, or would be if OP was out of the way. Obviously the parents just feed and enable the sister no matter how awful she is. I'm so glad OP is getting away from them. I hope OP stays in contact with Jay, though.
Story 1: No way legal action can't be taken against the company for painting a house without permission or the people that hired them. Total law enforcement fail.
Action can be taken, it's called a lawsuit. But it's the neighbors that get sued. Sure you could sue the painters too but doubtful you would win against them.
@@wingracer1614 They are much better as witnesses
If I were the first OP I'd wait till the neighbors leave and have their house painted yellow
For the first story I’m guessing there is multiple things OP could sue for. Not only the cost of changing the house colour back, but probably harassment and “emotional distress” of having your home defaced and fearing for your risk. OP could also probably get a restraining order for the neighbours that could force them to sell their house and move.
Without some sort of evidence that the neighbors are actually dangerous and intend to harm OP, a restraining order is not going to happen.
Story One: OP should get a bunch of her other neighbors to paint their houses a nice bright canary yellow, just to piss the crazy couple off.
The solution to story one is have the house repainted yellow again by an expensive professional painting company, and then sue the neighbors for the cost of having the house repainted.
Its crazy that the next door Neighbors would paint your house while your gone. Shame we don't have an update to that cause I'm curious as to what happened next? Story 2 holy 💩. That's insane I'm glad you and Jay got away from your insane sister and dumb parents.
Not dumb ..toxic "parents "....
Painting Story: OP needs to call a Lawyer to Sue the Painting Company and Neighbours for the Illegal Painting of their house, OP also needs to File a Complaint against the Officers because what the Painting Company did WAS Vandalism because the OWNER OF THE HOME DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE PAINTING!!! Having a Valid Work Order (it wasn't because the Property Owner didn't create it) protects the Painters from Prosecution but NOT the people that HIRED them...Painting OP's Property IS A CRIME, Not just a Civil Matter and the Neighbours should have been Charged and Prosecuted...
I love how Dabny makes the jump from "oh op just forgot to update us for 8 years" to "THEY MURDERED OP AND PAINTED THE BASEMENT WITH HER BLOOOD" Which is fair, and total reddit logic.
Authentic blood red is so unstable... But honestly, yes, can absolutely see it as a direction this plot might go on TV
About the HOA comment.... Even _if_ they had successfully formed an HOA, you can't force an existing house into an HOA if the owner doesn't want to be in it.
I thought that was the case and in some places even if you sell the next owners don't have to join either which is why HOA's target the newcomers making it SEEM like they have to join before they truly understand what they are signing. Confuse them in the middle of moving and get them to sign up quick is how most HOA's get new members.
@@SailorMya This is important information. =D If ever me and my movies/internet inflicted trauma finds a seemingly great residency in the midst of one
Am I the only one who is thrilled that the comments are back under the videos again?
I woke up this morning, put on my daily dose of rSlash, and discovered the comments are back to normal.
What fantastic way to start the day!
The last story is insane, the favouritism is so obvious. R/slash said this is a classic case of golden child but there's not even a gold in there.
I'm sure somewhere in the painter's contract, it states the client 100% has the right to have it painted only if they are the legal owner or have the owner's permission. OP should sue the painters for not doing due diligence and tell them to recoup from the neighbors who deceived them.
You can sue the neighbors and the paint company. Name them both at court and make the paint company sue them for the FRAUD!!
I once heard the first story from a different Redditor years ago, and I've always wondered what happened next... How can you alter someone else's property and then face no legal consequences?
Story 1. As someone who lives in Louisiana… I’m looking out my kitchen window right now at my next door neighbor’s house, it’s painted yellow. Our block has another house that’s yellow, one that’s green, and another blue. I can’t even fathom how insane your neighbors must be.
Being a sibling to a golden child sucks because once you finally get them out of your life you realize everything about you and all the relationships you had were really about the Golden Child. All the things the family would do together, all the vacations, events an outings, hell even your friends (if you even had any) were just coping mechanisms. Now that my sister has been out of my life for a year I just feel empty, everything I was and did growing up was for her and to keep her and my autistic brother happy.
I am sorry that you had this type of family dynamic growing.
I was going to say that I'm sorry that you are feeling empty right now, but I'm not (sorry). I am, however sorry that you are uncomfortable.
As someone who also left a similar type of family dynamic, and who knows an unfortunately large number of people who have as well, please let me reassure you that the emptiness you are feeling is, surprisingly and ironically, 'normal' for your situation (I hate the word normal but lack a better one here). It is also unfortunately an uncomfortable early stage proving that you are taking steps to become Your own Self. (good job!). As you learn more about who you are as a person without the overwhelming sway of your family of origin, you will fill that emptiness inside Your Self with so much joy and excitement and love and interest in life, and yes sometimes also sadness and anger, etc. too. You will fill Your Self with a full range of emotions that you were never properly able to experience while living under the thumb of your FOO.
When I first separated from my FOO, like you and so many others, I just felt empty. It was uncomfortable and scary, and I didn't even know where to start - I quite literally didn't even know which flavour of ice cream I liked to eat. I ended up trying 'everything' to see what fit and what didn't. I started sampling ice creams to figure out which I like, but I also visited the library and took books from different sections each time, I tried different radio and YT channels, I took classes at the local community centre, I looked into different hobbies, visited new parts of the city where I lived, etc. I tried to never invest too much (time, energy, money) on any on thing until I got to sample a few genres within a category. But, I also managed to start at least with 'for sure don't like' and cut those options out, while continuing to try, and repeat try the options that resonated with me. Eventually, I eventually found the things in life that worked for me. In the process, I found people who enjoyed that I found things that I enjoy and I built a circle of friends and a chosen family along the way.
It is a scary, uncomfortable place to be in that empty space. But, a therapist reminded me that I was strong enough to live with my FOO, so I was also strong enough to figure out who I am as a person in my own right. He also taught me that I was worth the effort to find out.
You are strong enough to figure out who you are as a person in your own right. And, you are absolutely worth the effort to find out.
Sending good-energy and strength on your healing journey.
Story 1: Honestly, I hope OP got the house back to yellow. I mean, if all it takes is a paint company, then it can't be that hard.
As for the neighbors, since they literally admitted to it via a lawsuit, hopefully OP can prove that they got OP's house painted without OP's consent. Maybe THAT will finally shut them up
Story 2: HOLY GOLDEN CHILD BATMAN.
Like…the mental gymnastics these delusional parents have done to blame Op is olympic level.
See part of me thinks it would be REALLY funny if Op and Jay actually got together lol.
Good luck Op, sorry your family sucks
Last story: Oh wow, tell me who's your favorite child without telling me who's your favorite child!
just hire the same companie to paint the neighbores house in pink
" You need to be more sensitive to your sister. "
Then Proceeds to call his other daughter a lying wh**e.
Wow just another candidate for father of the year 👏👏👏
Yes their slow claps
Story #2: WTF is wrong with these people!? OP, please. PLEASE cut all contact! This sister is INSANE!!
I would've yelled so hard "Being soft on Sarah is what landed her in this mess. Keep at it and see where it ends."
Story 1: so there's not a definition I could find but, this is known as "constructive vandalism" where you'd alter somebody's property that isn't destroying of said property, replacing their fence with something shorter, or replacing their doormat because they don't like, installing three arrows that say "live laugh love" or painting someone else's house without their knowledge
Both absolutely wild audacious people, nearly died laughing in front of coworker during lunch lol
The last story, the sister is beyond just lying. She's psychotic. She made up these delusions.
The painting company legit took a painting job of someone’s house without that someone’s permission because the people next-door paid them to do it. That’s grounds for suing. There is nothing “in good faith” about what they did. The police are full of it! I hope OP sues the neighbors for harassing her all this time.
Story 2: i havent heard the update yet but i was thinking that the sister told Jay and was trying to hook him and OP up and was calling for updates because she was excited and wanted to see how the "date" went. Buuut im guessing shes always had a thing for Jay and hes rejected her and maybe has even had a crush on OP
The paint story:
OP could also geothermal historical society involved depending on how old the house is and have them sue the neighbors too.
My family lived in very old home, and my grandmother wanted to paint it blue, but the historical society actually was able to legally stop the painting and said she could pick from 3 colors only due to the historical society by-laws for painting older buildings to preserve history. The house colors were; white, brown, or yellow. The house stayed it's "shit brindle brown" my grandmother called it because of that.
Now in Louisiana might have different laws but technically of the house is old and they went with a none historical color, the grey, then technically they could get their local historical group involved.
The neighbours would go bonkers in Austria. Yellow was apparently considered a royal or special colour for buildings. There are SO MANY official buildings, castles, palaces, and normal houses painted yellow!
Rslash, I think you are forgetting about the 8 year old that smashed the car because her brother got a car and not her. She is definitely more of the golden child.
did the painting company not check ID to make sure they were painting the right house? now I am at 2:59 so I don't know how this story ends... but if OP didn't take the chance to pull a UNO reverse card on the neighbours I will be disappointed.
First story, OP needs to form a HOA and require every house to be yellow.
Who is so mad about someone else’s house color so much to the point that they would sue, paint, and sue again?
I hope house painting OP was able to take the neighbors to court for the costs of repainting it yellow 😂
Story 2: Missing info. Did she start actually dating Jay after the whole debacle, causing the sister's further mental decline?
The house paint story is insane! That has to be some sort of vandalism to it.
the painter story is the equivalent of a scenario where if you hired a roofing company to redo your roof but they mistakenly redo the wrong house instead. It’s on the company to verify everything and it doesn’t seem like they did so considering how they never went to the owner of said property for verification whatsoever
the company is absolutely liable for this
this is not a scenario of good faith its pure negligence💀
There’s no point in understanding the parents’ logic because there isn’t any.
First story:
I would paint my house purple so fast, the neighbors heads would spin!
First story: “I won’t sue you guys… if you paint your house yellow.”
1. Story:
At the very least what the company did was vandalism and then the company needs to sue the couple
2. Story:
The sister played matchmaker and then gets angry because she has a thing for Jay? Dafuq, thats just stupid
She is nuts, so are the parents
I was totally thinking the EXACT same thing about story one. Paint their house yellow 😂
OP’s sister needs serious help. It sounds like she’s built an entire fantasy world with Jay. And the parents are enabling it instead of seeking out professional help.
Damn, I really wanna know what happened with those psycho paint-happy neighbors. Shame there’s no update, as I seriously doubt it took 8 years with the solid evidence they gave OP.
I really hope OP in the first story gets justice... That's absolutely nuts
The "almost drove past it" line was hilarious to me xD!!
Even with physical proof on wrongness, the golden child must stay golden and the scapegoat myst stay scaped.
