If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them

One woman is getting fined for having a white mailbox, as they tend to get dirty. That’s right. It’s not even dirty yet. It just has the potential to be occasionally unclean, so they’ve fined her and asked her to remove it. That’s such a Susan thing to do, honestly. It’s so silly that it almost sounds like a joke!

Maybe the HOA will provide the paint to change the color. Either way, it sounds like she found the right way to deal with this inconvenience. You know the saying, “if you can’t beat them, join them,” and that’s what she did. She stooped to their level. She gave them a taste of their own medicine. And all those other cliches that could be applied here.
