This will be second time.

First time:
Shortly after moving back to FL a subcontractor that I didn't have prior experience with came to me after finishing the install of a new water heater.
He went to play with Turbo before leaving.
Turbo was on a leash and in front of me. As soon as Turbo touched him, he fell to the ground saying "I'm suing you!"

It was clear that this was bullshit!
I offered medical attention & he refused.
I wanted to see the bite mark & he refused but finally agreed after I agreed to not record with my phone :yawn:

I spent a night of him calling & texting me while clearly messed up. I don't know if it was drugs or alcohol but I saved the messages for proof of this craziness.

He called animal control the following day who met with me & Turbo. They ended up telling me that they could tell from meeting with him that this was bullshit but legally were required to meet with me & Turbo.
They ended up telling me that they weren't going to bother processing the paperwork as it was clearly bullshit.

He confessed to me later that he was hard-up for money and just wanted a quick $10k. Then he asked if I'd give home $1k or even $500 to help pay his bills.
SERIOUSLY?! You called animal control on my puppy. You tried to extort me for $10k & now you're asking if I'll just hand you money.
Adios loser.


I'll type the current bullshit story later/tomorrow.

People annoy me with lies/stealing. :cert:

You could have stopped at Florida :yesnod:

Nothing good ever comes from that much humidity. Makes people crazy and don’t get me started on the outrageous insurance costs. There’s 49 other states to choose from, 57 if you use the Obama system.

Get out while you still can. :sadangel:

This is exactly why when ANYONE I don't know pretty damn well comes over to my house, Belle gets put in her crate, and stays there until the person or people leave.

I hate most Earthlings.
And you are nicer than I ever would have been in 3 lifetimes.
Shit like that makes bad things happen.
