When you’re in business for yourself you know that at least once someone is going to try to sue you for something. Well it finally happened.
A very bizarre woman who can’t handle being wrong, she considered her two phone calls to us, where we could barely even get out of her who she was or what she even wanted, to be “contact”. (she sounded like a telemarketer) She even accused my husband of smoking drugs in our store on the day she came in. (needless to say, at that point we encouraged her to sue)
So we come to court fully armed. Where she has her repair bill and the bills she used to nickel and dime us on copies, stamps, envelopes, mileage, and time away from work we have an actual tire to show her claim isn’t even possible, two State employee witnesses one of whom was working that day, diagrams of her type of car, letters from respected officials (and friends) disputing her drug claim and most importantly……. A printout of her myspace blog where she blogged about that day and not once mentioned the problem she was suing us for.
Yes, her own words won the case for us.
She wrote it 4 days after her contact with us and where she described everything from the weather to her differing moods, how she put her car in “e-shift” as she gained altitude and the weather got worse, every song that came on the radio, every mood she went through, her time at our store (No mention of drugs of course. What she thought she would accomplish by throwing that one out there I don’t know) and her drive to her destination, the view and the memories the view brought up. But not a word of her so-called “problem” 4 days later.
And not only that, she lied in court after she found out I had that blog page. (I also had proof that it was hers in case she tried to claim otherwise) Little did she know that the guy she decided to say she spoke to that morning was one of my witnesses so I was able to prove she was lying.
I half expected the Judge to pull a 'King Solomon' and split the amount she was claiming if she didn't understand the situation but nope she saw our point, the lack of proof on the nutcase's side and the nutcases own words and ruled zero liability.
I am so incredibly happy.
