Sue zee queue

I have court tomorrow. No, I'm not a defendant. I'm suing someone, remember? I never thought I would actually sue someone, but this ass-hat has it coming. Remember the motorcycle paint job debacle? The debacle in which a shop quoted us $600 to paint my bike, then upped the price to $800 when we went to pick it up, told us to bring it back after a few weeks so it could be buffed, and sanded straight to the metal while buffing it out? Yeah, that debacle. The debacle that took my tank from THIS--

to THIS--

The guy called me when he got his court summons, which was about 4 weeks ago, and said he didn't want to go to court. He offered to give me $600 of my money back if I'd drop the suit. I agreed. Guess what never came in the mail?

I hope the judge rips him a new one. I'll be surprised if I don't win. I've got pics, a time line of when he did what work (and damage), a receipt signed by the defendant, and the defendant's fast talking bullshit routine isn't likely to work on someone who sizes up bullshitters all day.

I just hope we don't have to sit there all day while waiting for our case to be called.

Oh what a jerkwad. He was really hoping you'd forget. Yeah right. I'm just worried about you getting your money after you win the case.

Well, I won the case because ass hat didn't show up. He has 30 days to appeal. After 30 days, I can go back to the courthouse and have a lien put on his property or his business, which I fully intend to do.

Damn. I was hoping you'd be able to tell us all about how the court went Judge Judy on his shiftless ass.
Better luck next time.
