There is a story I heard, supposedly found in a teshuva.

A shul needed to extend, so they moved up the front wall and resold the Mizrach seats at a premium. The seat holders complained, and they asked a shayla. The teshuva was that they have no right to complain, because we find that the letters הושע were not able to complain after משה put the "י" before them to make יהושע בן נון.

Anyone know where this is brought down?

I remember hearing a R' Yitzchak Zilberstein about A man that wanted to buy someone’s house, but the owner refused to sell. Instead, the man offered to buy a hook inside the house. After acquiring the hook, he hung a bag of fish on it, which began to smell and made the house unlivable in  order to pressure the owner into selling the whole house.

Does anyone know where it is and even better can you post a picture?

I believe I read it in the Yated or Hamodia 20 years ago as a mashul for the Y"H.
