Eggshell vs. Swiss Coffee: A Tragedy
Two HOA threads merge into one mega-thread about paint swatches and human dignity.
About the Episode
Two HOA-adjacent threads collided into one mega-thread about exterior paint, and suddenly everyone was an expert on undertones, resale value, and whether Eggshell is a color or a mood. We document the merge like a weather system: warm fronts of personal taste meeting cold fronts of committee rules.
Swatches were photographed in different lights. Neighbors argued about Swiss Coffee as if it were a moral stance. Someone posted a link to a blog that made everything worse.
We laugh, but we also note how much people care about homes looking intentional. The episode wraps with a sincere nod to compromise, and a joke about sample pots that will outlive us all.
Episode still — reaction cam.
Episode still — evidence board energy.
