The Court has reviewed this confession and finds itself PHYSICALLY ILL at the mention of retroactive approval processes, a phrase that should be illegal in all fifty states and most Canadian provinces. Let the record show that Debra, whoever she is, has been added to Reginald's personal list of People Who Must Be Stopped, right between the man who invented popcorn ceilings and my former landlord who insisted beige was a personality. SIX YEARS that paint existed in peaceful anonymity, harming NO ONE, until the sacred moment of escrow awakened the HOA from their bureaucratic slumber like some vinyl-siding dragon smelling commission checks. The Court notes that you endured a seller who cycled through all five stages of grief, skipped acceptance entirely, and landed on ghosting, which frankly shows emotional range Reginald can only admire. Four months of your life, rate lock extensions, threats of litigation from every direction, and your reward was thirty-two hundred dollars, which after taxes and therapy barely covers the cost of whatever Debra put you through. This Court hereby declares you a survivor of Administrative Warfare and sentences Debra to explain her thirty to sixty day timeline to a room full of expired rate locks. Reginald must now go lie down.
