Our Homeowners' association must hire from Stanford Security Rejects, Inc.

I want to paint my house. Call H/O assn (mistake 1) and they inform me I must submit a color sample and $125 to handle the cost of review. I ask, even for the same color? Yes!

Go paint store with chip from house. They match it. Buy one gallon, paint piece of cardboard (8.5x11 as required) and submit it with the check. Get letter from them.

'Your color as been rejected since is does not fit the palette.'

I call them and ask, 'OK, where do I get this palette?'
'There isn't one.'
'How do I know what color is OK?'
'Send us sample and we will let you know.'

So come on down. You can park your car in front of my house and help me paint. When the Paint Police come by, I'll use the Patti Hurst defense....

'A crazed NorCal liberal held me at gunpoint and forced me to use this color.'
